Fear for your children
i feel i have become and LJ lurker, it's odd. so i'm going to do an update of my life at the moment ... brace yourselves for a riveting ride ...
at the weekend me and graeme ventured yonder to my place of birth because my (not so) little brother turned 18 on friday. had a great weekend with him and the family, it was so surreal when he brough his first round!!! he's coming up with my sister next weekend for a night out in boro away from the rents, i predict it's going to be carnage. i'll be dissapointed with anything less. on the saturday me and my sister are going to get tattoos, she's getting some twiddle little buttefly but i'm getting something of my own design, bit hard to describe but it will have clouds and rainbow and a kick ass skull. i've been waiting a long while to get my first skull and i think it's going to be awesome.when i went to see ricky about getting it done he said it was a cool design which makes me happy cos if he likes it he's gonna make it a good one. it's going to be on my foot and when i tell anyone about it they inevitably say
'ohh that's going to hurt isnt it?'
...well, yes, needles permanently fixing ink into your skin will be painful. but i'm so excited, for me the pain is all part of it and i've been out of the chair far to long, although i'm glad i have waited and devised something i really want .. stand by for pics straight after!!! it'll be nice to have a tattoo i can actually see without having to look in the mirror.
i'm currently trying to decide whether to go fo th diploma, advanced diploma or degree in my last year, you have to get over an average marm to be offered the degree and i have but i really dont want to do another dissertation at the moment so it's between the diploma and the advanced, which really only means that my practical work will be marked at a higher level, meaning i'll have less modules to top up to if i decide to do the degree later. i dont know, at the moment i'm ering on the side of what's going to give me the least hassle and work but does that mean i'm selling myself short? i dunno but my self confidence isnt so fab at the moment so that may be colouing my opinion of my abilities.in other news our little family (graeme me and the hamster) are really happy at the moment so it's cool beans all round. i just feel like i'm stuck in a rut at he moment and just want to be qualified and able to work, but at the same time the job situation is so iffy at the moment i want to stay a safe student for as long as i can, it's quite maddening.
i'm on holiday at the moment and am reading a series of books by stephen king called the dark tower. usually i hate his writing but this isnt grating on me too much and i can't afford to buy any book so these lenders will have to do, mind you i'm sure 'd be enjoying them more if i was reading them on a sun lounger on some sunny beach rather than my little flat in over cast boro. i keep on trying to tempt the sunny weather out by wearing flip flops but it's only making my feet cold, still god loves a trier right? i think i'm going to start cycling int uni instead of walking if i can get graeme's seat to go low enough for me it'll cut the time in half giving me more time in bed in the mornings :D always my primary goal in life. i'll have to buy a cycle helmet then ...sexy. right now i have to go and tidy the flat cos the scary woman from the letting company is coming round for an inspection, it makes me so nervous i hate it!! plus we suspect the landlord is going to sell the flat, he only has to give us 2 months notice so were wating for them to drop that bombshell.
