Just To Prove A Point

As promised, a comment with a request for an update has led to an update. My being coaxed into a relationship didn't last long. I am back to my ordinary single self, having the time of my life again. Well, not really, as I still don't have the time for it, but the time I do have for having the time of my life I use to have the time of my life.

Congratulations if you managed to make sense of that last sentence. I wrote a new song last night (about time) so new lyrics should be appearing on the lyrics blog sometime soon. I'm moving in 3 weeks which is stressing me out. I'm behind on my course. I nearly quit my course but now I'm really enjoying the time in school. I think it'll be fine once I actually start teaching.

I'm going to leave it at that for now as I need to get an insurance quote for a car I'm about to see with a view to purchase.

What's New Pussycat?

Hello to all my people. I realise the few people who did stop by here occasionally have probably given up on me ever posting again so there's a strong chance that no one will actually read this.

Anyway, I felt inclined to update on what's been going on since February. Academically, I finished my degree and got a 2:1. Wooo!! I'm now doing my PGCE (finally) which is a one-year teacher training course. It's very hard and I have no free time. Well, actually that's a lie. I should have no free time but I have been sacrificing staying on top of all the work I have to do in order to remain sane and see my friends.

Romantically, I decided I was going to avoid relationships and the like and was quite good at that, but after being persistently pursued for a month I gave in to one Dan T. (If anyone from school is reading this, it's not the same person you know). That lasted about 4 months I think and was quite nice but then I reverted to my normal can't-handle-a-real-relationship self. After that I decided I was really going to stay single and was successful for quite a while again, but after being pursued by Kenny for 2 months I gave in and am now officially in a relationship once more.

Accommodationistically (yes I know that's a made up word), I moved into my new student digs for the year at the beginning of September. They were so awesome and amazing! I loved the beautiful house and thought that it was well worth paying a bit extra for the luxury. My new housemates moved in a couple of weeks later and I changed my mind. I won't go into details here but the bottom line is I'm moving out at the beginning of December into a house with adults. Can't wait. And it's a lot cheaper.

So that's about it for now. If you ever fancy another update, just post a comment and I'll see what I can do. :D

Bloody British

I know I'm technically British but I'm in the mood for ranting about this particular nationality. The British. They pride themselves on being "better" than everyone else. They don't know the difference between Sweden and Switzerland. Grrrrrrr. I am not f-ing Swedish!!!!!!!!

Also, yes it has snowed. Well done. It doesn't only snow over here you know. It snows in other countries as well and they manage just fine.

What I would really like to say to the majority of British people is "Get over it! It's not all about you, you self-centred tw*ts!" (up to you which vowel to substitute in there).

Death a la Pratchett

It is widely known on the Discworld that what happens when you die is based on what you believe. So, if you believe that everyone but virgins will go to hell, then you're quite likely to end up in hell (unless you're a virgin, of course). However, there are lots of different beliefs about the afterlife. Some involve reincarnation and others vary on the theme of judgement and heavens and hells.

However, for those scientists among us, the "soul" ceases to exist when the body ceases to function. Many people are scared by the thought of heading into oblivion but I have developped new thoughts on this matter. As the soul will cease to exist, it's not really like we'll be there to notice all the oblivion around us.

Murphy's Snow

Hey guys,

I have returned after my amazing ordeal. Ok, you probably won't think it's all that much but this is my tale. I went to Switzerland to partake in 2 weeks of hardcore snowboarding. It was going to be sooo much fun. When I got there, I found my ride up to the mountains was delayed by a few days. I wasn't too bothered because it was only a few days and I was bound to get in lots of snowboarding anyway.

Boy was I wrong. There was barely any snow. I spent 1 day snowboarding in a big cloud where I couldn't see anything and 3 days hopping over grass spots. Then there were barely any lifts open cos there wasn't enough snow so my "hardcore snowboarding" was over. I was sorely disappointed. I had about 5 days left until I was to return to England and it didn't look like snow was on the horizon.

So, we decided a trip to Eurodisney was in order. Mum and I used to go when I was younger and we had a cool road trip singing along to Take That. The park itself was really cool and I had a photo taken with Jack Sparrow!!! We'd planned to drive back down to Geneva from Paris on Tuesday night so I'd have a day to pack before my flight. Any of you who have seen the news in France will now understand the title of this post.

It snowed. Lots. We didn't know this. We're casually driving down the A6 where it was getting less and less crowded and a bit chilly. Then we saw a patch of snow on the side of the road. Next thing we know, the motorway is covered by it and there's hundreds of lorries pulled up covering 2 lanes! Driving past them was really surreal. The conditions steadily got worse as the sun set until the motorway was closed. We had to find a hotel somewhere in the middle of France where hundreds of motorists had been forced to stop.

We were quite fortunate and managed to find somewhere. We had a delicious Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner although the wine was a bit unusual. Today, we navigated our way down along snow-covered country roads because the motorway was still shut. It was a real adventure. Anyway, now I truly understand the meaning of the word 'irony'.

Brainstorm

Here's my newest song:

People Smell

Boys smell. They think it's cool to wait at least 3 days before replying to text messages. Boys also think that it's acceptable to get a girl drunk so that she will do naughty things with them. However, girls do this too.

Girls also get themselves really drunk so that they can put up with doing naughty things they don't necessarily want to when they're sober. Girls pretend to like things they don't really so that people will have a better opinion of them. However, boys do this too.

People are hypocrits. They moan about everything that annoys them about everyone else when they're sitting by themselves, but when their friends come along, they go and do the exact things that they were moaning about without a second thought (I'm not excluding myself from this).
