7:16 pm - My brain hurts.
I have been up for way to many hours. Did a redbull fuelled all-nighter to finish a report and then just before lunchtime when it was due in saved one of my friends reports over the top of it. Woops.
I had been trying to pinch some of the maths bits I hadn't done and then his was called the same thing and my brain was fried and I wiped mine.
aarrghh
Nearly handed it in as well. Is it plagerism if it still has the other persons name on it. That would have been quite amusing if I'd been kicked out of uni for it. or not.

anyway.
more redbull and its almost done now. meh

4:31 pm - Sobriety
I've not really been doing much at all of late.
I have no money being the reason.

But on the plus side it is making me more motivated about my course. Previously I wanted to be really into my course. I thought it would be good fun to be so, but really I was in the pub 5 nights a week and smoking daily. Sometimes when I was wasted I would start talking about how cool my course was man, however I didn't actually know anything I was meant to.

I did want to learn, but I was constantly too fucked to actually get round to sorting it out and cutting down on the vices.

Lack of funding has sobered me up though. Quite literally

Yes go team me I've actually been going to lectures and understanding what they're about.

I shall endeavour to keep this up.

Argh.

It's exam time and I don't know enough and my brain just won't concentrate on study. Dear me.

I went to Dublin on Saturday though, it was wonderful fun. I'd been dragged out friday night under the pretence of going to VX but ended up in Cemaes Bay at Ryan's cousins house.
I said to Claire in the pub
"I don't want to go to Cemaes, come to VX, I would not have come out if I'd known everyone was gonna bugger off elsewhere"
and she shushed me and bought a bottle of wine
"I can't be bought off with a bit of wine you know" said I.
and she got a couple of shots and gave me a Camel

Sure enough an hour later we were on a bus trailing across the island. It was quite fun, just sat up smoking and drinking too much. Ryan had some fishermans course in Holyhead the next day so me an Claire got the bus with him and got off at the ferry port.
might as well go to Ireland then we thought.

Unfortunatly we had just missed a ferry and so had to spend five hours in the beautiful and exciting place that is holyhead, but eventually we made it onto the ferry

and I'm bored of writting this now, I'll prolly finish it later

current mood: listless
current music: Goldfrapp - black cherry

5:36 pm
I wrote a big fat entry about a week ago about how I'm much happier and relaxed and less stressed than I've been in a while, but then my computer crashed and so I never updated(note though that I didn't swear at it and storm off slamming doors - so what I was saying can't have been total bollocks). Yes woo go me I'm all jolly and chilled out, I'm even going to bake cookies for everyone on my course, though they may think I'm crazy. I made cookies the other day, but they were special ones. Gemma had a sore throat and couldn't smoke so I offered to bake and discovered that I am a cookie making genius - oh yes they were wonderful.
Anyway the other news on my non-existent post was that I met a pretty boy and I was quietly excited about it. He is rather nice, I'm not sure, I may have acquired a......boyfriend oo er

2:21 pm - by golly its been fookin ages since I wrote anything in here.
I WENT TO SEE THE DECEMBERISTS!!!
it was ace and it was an excuse to come to glasgow and see folk and get a bitty mashed.
I went to the gig with my wee brother and his mate and it was amazin, quite possibly the best gig I've ever been to. Then I went to the Garage which was a little odd as I'd not been in so long, but I think it was actually marginally better than it used to be.

Then I stayed at Roy and Dannys and got up way too early so I could catch my bus to ...MANCHESTER where I spent all day in the art gallery. It was quite good, I was playing in the kids interactive bit just by myself for about 2 hours, hehe.

And then Claire arrived. And lo we did go to the pub. and somehow Claire managed to meet someone she knew who said he would take our suitcases and weed back to his house while we went to the music box to watch CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH! Off we trundled me being a bit too merry to fully aknowledge the fact I was giving a random guy I'd just met the vast majority of my belongings and waving him off on a bus into the depths of Manchester, but well thats how it happened, we went to the gig and it was jolly good fun.
At the end Claire as usual started talking to some pretentious looking blokes and before I knew what was happening they had taken our pictures and asked what we thought of the gig, now I said something quite gay, I don't recall what and the bloke started writing it down. It would seem that they were from NME doing a gig review. "Oh wait" I said "I can say something much cooler than that, really"
"Ok" he said "on you go" it was then I realised that alas I can not and quite probably never will say anything cool and so we left to find our luggage.

After a slightly hazardous bus journey we did find where -Louie lived and he had not stollen our things but allowed us to stay over at his house, so we cracked open a bottle of wine, stuck on a pizza and left extremely bleary eyed for the 6 o'clock train home.

BANGOR

3:53 pm - October : An over view
I like my new course.
I've worked and I've slacked. And been up mountains

I've been drunk, I've been sober and I've been stoned.

I've danced and I've fallen over.

I've made new friends and I've been homesick.

Mostly I've been skint and a bit of a harsh bitch

its been fun

2:42 pm
Monday was a rather fantastic day.

I had become ever so bored of sitting about my house moaning about having nothing to do, so I decided to go for a wander.

I went into town and trooped about the charity shops. I bought two dresses and a book. One of the dresses is kind of burberry, but it's kewl - honest.

Then as I was leaving the last shop I bumped into this guy Dave that I know and went round to his for a cup of tea.

Continuing my wander I left and headed for the pier where I met Benson and um I have no idea how to spell his name but I guess it sounds like de-wee. Anyway. I went and got a nice pint of ale and lay out on the grass in the sunshine. It was well nice and then because I had said I had nothing to smoke when I was leaving Benson gave me a few little buds. Yey!

On continuing on up the hill I had a big inane grin on my face due to the fuzzing effects of the ale and the anticipation of the weed in my pocket. I called in at my work to say hi to Marion and she persuaded me to stay and have a pint as it was quiet and she was bored.

Eventually I left, but popped my head round the door of the yellow pub on walking home and low and behold I knew folk in there and so I ended the day at about three in the morning having a smoke with Dave after being out and a bout all day and even going to a club for a dance.

I should really go out wandering more if this is how it turns out.

1:53 pm - coolest person in north wales......
Yesterday I took part in a psychology experiment and they gave me £5 yey.

and even better Simon then randomly turned up at the house.

We went to the pub. It was great. Si was not meant to be drinking, but very soon we were both off our faces and being chatted to by this insane homeless irish guy. Hmm he was a bit scary and very drunk, but he had good chat.

Today I got up and had a muffin and some rum for breakfast. I came over to the computers to see if there are anymore experiments going to fund my drinking. Signed up for three more.

While waiting for response emails from the folk I was reading through old journal entries from last year. Over the last few days I've been thinking that I never used to be a bitter whingey little bitch, but I've been unsure how to go back to that. Well reading all my old entries was helpfull. I had so much fucking fun, and reading them reminded me what I was like. I was the coolest person in north wales. The most punk rockingest person in Bangor and I didn't give a shit if everyone else thought I was a twat.

an you know what

Im still the fucking coolest person in north wales and I don't give a shit, so I shall scurry back to my bottle of rum and bloody well enjoy my day off!!!

I feel I need to write in here as I haven't for so long.

I found my diary and the last entry was 14th February.

I think the last six months of my life may have disappeared from memory forever.

Prolly for the best.

Nadia came down and visited me last weekend cause she is ace and everyone else smells. We had a fun old time even if it was rather traumatic.

Another case of a boy returning to an ex without having the courtesy to tell me.

Story of my fucking life ACTUALLY.

Unfortunately this time I really trusted the guy, It never even crossed my mind he would do such a thing.....yeah great friends we were I'm sure.

Oh well at least I'm being a no-nonsense Skippy this time. Not taking any more of this tripe.

I hate him.
Simple as that.
No excuses
no apologies
no continued friendships

Friends don't lie to and humiliate you and they do not let you break promises you've made to yourself and then disapear in a puff of bastard smoke.




I sound self pitying, but I don't think I am anymore. I'm out on a search for a new well paying job so for the last few weeks before term starts I can troupe about the country visiting friends.

Woo and Hoo

3:41 am - sick
I feel sick, sick, sick, sick in the pit of my tummy.

Blargh.

Like a big nauseous knot of toxic butterflies


The tripe of all this election stuff really does turn my stomach, as does the tripe that my head yammers on at me all day and the tripe-eness of my stomachs reactions to the tripe-eness of general happenings around me.


BLARGH

Mayhaps I just need a drink

8:20 am - I'm up early
I'm up very early today. I'm going to work. I had to get up early cause I didn't know what time I was working and had to come re-read an e-mail. Turns out it's 10. Unfortunatly I don't think that gives me time for more bed. Hohum. Also it seems I was meant to take them some paper work before now, but hopefully all will be well.

YEY! WORK! I'm gonna get paid! Tis only two days, but is still two days eh? Oh I need another job also. So badly indeed. I owe about £80 to my flat mates, I'm £100 over my limit with the bank and I have £0 for food, fun and getting home.

Must learn to manage money!

Lucy B came to visit me last weekend. It was fun indeed, rather sudden and random, but very fun. We went to a drum and bass night and a party with fire juggling people and also I took her on a tour of bangor. Hill, Pier, High street. Yup

12:34 pm - Snowy, Northness, drunkness, lent
Today I got up at 9 and went for a 45 minute swim before my first lecture, yey I'm all good or summit

Was home for the Weekend, well up north for the weekend really and home a few days either side.

Twas very fun met Roy and Keest on thursday and drank cider and had a smoke at Roys.
Went to the art school picking up Danny, Stuart, Katie and er maybe some others on the way. I was pretty wasted, but it was rather fun indeed.
Afterwards I went up to Jacks. I was really drunk and I don't think he was very impressed, although there may have been something verging on concern when he said "Do you not think you've been drinking too much recently" which was interesting. Normally I get rather shirty when people make comment on my Alcohol consumption, but I think I just said "Yeees" then passed out.
I got my C.D back Woo Hoo.
I worry about the boy rather a lot.

Up North was really fun. It was all snowy and nice. The entertainment in the bar was rather wonderful. One night we had Craig Chalmers or some such who was on pop idol! The rest of the time there was this guy who was an absolute comic genius. He was like a kids entertainer from Butlins and just ran and danced and tumbled about like he was proper mental or trippin' or summit. I had to leave at one point cause I was falling off my chair crying with laughter.
Was nice seeing my family, both immediate and all cousins, uncles, aunts etc. I think I definatley get on much better with my Parents and Brothers when we are not at home.

I've decided to give up Cigarettes and Alcohol for lent. I'm also maybe gonna throw in meat, cheese and ice-cream.

I think I have a good chance of sucess, if only because one of the main reasons I'm giving up is that I don't actually have any pennies to buy them with.


Hopefully my next update will detail how I've sorted out my financial and academic problems.

2:06 pm - binge-athon
Ur I feel a need to up date on all thats happening, but my brain in sludge so it may not work.

Main reason for my brain being sludge is after being out 5 nights in a row and then having one night off me and chris decided to have a binge-athon.

No sleep, no water, constant drinking for as long as we could hack it.

Oh it was fun indeed.

We had been in Trash the alternative night thing with a bunch of folk and Chris wanted another drink, but the bar was closed. He was staying at ours anyway so I said "there is plenty booze in my house we can just stay up drinking"
And so stay up drinking we did.
We played Lord of the Rings Chess and drank and listened to Bruce Springsteen and drank and talked about 24 and drank and forgot how to play chess and just threw the pieces at each other. My dads Jack Baur by the way. YUS.
So then everyone got up for lectures and we were very pissed and they seemed a bit disgusted, but at about 11 they came with us to get breakfast and they went to lectures and we went to the yellow pub(I live there a lot), where we spent all day um drinking, smoking, playing the quiz machine playing pool and putting songs on the juke box. Goad I don't know how much money I spent, but it was a lot. For a change of scenery we went up the road to O'Sheas and low and behold they had two Bruce Springsteen albums in the juke box. It was wonderous! After all my money had dissapeared into the machine we decided we should eat something again, called in at Threshers to get a crate of beer and headed home for tea.
Now I was a wee bitty drunk by this point and not really thinking straight and basically jumped down about five steps and into my front door. I thought the door was locked and it would stop my fall.
It wasn't.
I went flying out of it twisting two or three ligaments in my ankle and badly busing my other shin. It hurt. It hurt so much.
I had to continue drinking to numb the pain.
After tea and a few beers headed up to pound a pint in the fridd. It was a very long walk and up a big hill and chris forgot I hurt my ankle and pushed me down other stairs :(
The fridd was shitty so we trekked it back down to O'Sheas to finish our money and head back to the flat for the remaining beers. Aparently I passed out about 11 o'clock. not bad since I'd been in the pub at 4.30 the day before.

My ankle still hurts. Doctor says its cause I keep going out and dancing on it. Should maybe rest. Also my liver I feel needs resting. I really did over do it. More than usual this time.

Still had the hangover when I went to the doctors tho and must of looked pretty bad, plus had the shakes so when I said I felt a little stressed and wanted a note so I didn't have to write my essay he was very obliging. Aparently he wouldn't consider medication for me just yet, but gave me information about counsiling services. Ahahahaha

No work for me.
I'm mental.
YUS.

current mood: complacent

6:02 pm - Snoozin'
Wales.

That is where I am.

Again.

What fun. I missed my exams, but I get to do them again at easter.

Um my flat mates are insane - proper broken in the head.
It's a bit tiring, 'specially since they wait till night to be mad.

I spent to much money today.
Bought £70 worth of booze - yey a drinks cabinet I have.
Paid £115 for six months gym membership.
Perhaps I shall get fit.
Or just go swimming sometimes.

I'm going on holiday up north soon.
with all my family, aunts, uncles, cousins an all.
should be fun.

I think I will stop in Glasgow for a day or so.
Need to talk to Jack.
I'm not sure that I really care anymore.
I have a sort of numbness where my excitment & nervousness & giddyness & anger & eh all feelings linked to him used to be.
He wants to talk to me about something though.
something about America I think and he says it needs to be face to face.


I had an email from alternative nation.
Honesty thread update.
Aha.
Surfed about old threads.
What a tit I was.
What a tit everyone was.
What fun.
I want to be like I was when I was 17.
Even if I acted like I was mentally retarded
And was sickeningly sweet.
And was eager to please.
And sort of desperate.
And naive.

I seemed like I was oblivious to all that and having fun.

I'd like to go back to the days of cathouse unders.
For a holiday.
