Righteo.

Tuesday night I GUTTED my room. Hoovered, bleached, dusted & rearranged my shelves. It was looking laaavleeee might I add. I was very happy. I even arranged my notes. How productive of me. It feels good sitting in a tidy room. I am all happy now.

So Wednesday consisted of me getting up all bright and early for my last ever Contract Law lecture, which to be honest wasn't too bad. I think I'll maybe miss that module. It was quite interesting. After that I came home (halls) and got myself looking all presentable so I could go get the train to meet P. Somehow I made it to the train station in time for the express train that took me directly to Glasgow meaning I was there ages before my dearest P. So I went a wee wander round the shops but to be honest if you've seen one dress these days you've seen them all. Then I somehow got a hold of S via f.book and decided to go visit her whilst waiting on P's train coming in. I was walking down George Street when the rain started and when I say started I'm not meaning it was a wee drizzled. It pelted it down. I got soaked right through! Not an inch of me was dry. My hair, knickers and bra were all sticking to me. It was horrid but it was only water and I was still looking semi decent so I suppose I survived. The walk up to the uni halls where S friend was staying however was no something to easily survive. The stairs to even get up to her front door were enough to near kill me, without even thinking that she was on the top floor of her hall. I was exhausted and looking like a drowned rat but it was fine cos I got to have a quick wee catch up with S and meet one of her uni friends. What I can say about that brief encounter of Strathclyde uni area is that there are far too many stairs for my liking it was too loud and I missed my friends the Stirling Uni ducks. I know I complain about them all the time with all their begging and whining but really I do love them and wouldn't have my campus any other way.

I was barely at S friends for 10 mins when I get a phonecall from P who says her train had just puilled into Queen St. So that was another tottering down the street in the rain, in my heels.... without an umbrella because the eejit that I am left it on the bus back in Stirling! Got socked again and by the time I met P I think I was all wrinkly, like I'de been lying in a bath for about an hour. It was freezing but her hug made me forget how wet and cold I was cos I was sooo happy to see her. It had been about 6 months since our last proper outing so we needed a good hug and gab....  and that is what we done over the next SEVEN hours, which woulda been longer if we didn't need to get trains home. Damn they early trains. We trailed the streets for a wee bit looking for somewhere cheap to eat and anded up being stopped by a beautiful sales man whom we talked to for ages before telling him we infact didn't have any money to spend on a pamper day at the spa he was working for. To be truthful if I had had the money he would have had a sale just because of his face! What a beaut.... Muhahahhaaaa. Aye well anyway once we left him we chatted more and wandered more then eventually decided to go to Sloans for some dinner and meet our dear friend rose ;) NOM! Got an amazing catch up before stumbling down the steps of Sloans and into a random street preacher who spoke about Christ and how he was right because he could speak in tongues. Fair do's but he kinda seemed a little brain washed if you ask me, my faith was not faith enough for him. But hey each to their own, right. Paej gave him a nice mouthful though in my defence before saying thank you and escaping after our 15mins of torture. We wandered about merrily and tipsily under the christmas lights until we found a cocktail bar! Not just a cocktail bar but the Blue dog, one I eyed up every time that I have been in Glasgow for the past year and now I'm old enough to drink there! WIN. It was amazing! Chillaxing with my P and catching up about guys, buisness, bitches and our general life plans. It was so scary thinking about how much everything has changed since school. It's too scary actually. Life is moving far too quickly for me to keep up with. It is depressing. We'll survive though. I'm doing my degree and P has started advertising her expertise in beauty therapy and has a good few homers booked. We'll get there. I know it'll all be fine in the end.

In the Blue Dog we were the only ones in the bar so we got the full attention of the once again yummy waiter, he made us up a cocktail with eggwhite in it and it was lovely! Gotta love an amaretto sour! Then  I had a strawberry field and a blue dog and something else! They were all beauts. I love cocktails but love P more :D Such a good night. We will be doing it again very soon, migh just skip dinner this time and eat more cocktails instead. I think I'll take Mammy there soon as a good treat. We will drink Manhattans and Cosmopolitans or Dirty Martinis, ahhhh I can see it now :D

So after a chatting for an age me and P left the famous Blue Dog and got a chippy before getting on separate trains. Best day I have had in a good while. Can't wait till our next day.


Today wasn't too bad either. A Delict lecture and work.... and I got my first wage slip. I am happy. Very happy :) Think I might cut up my card though so I stop spending and it accumulates, that would be nice. I don't think I really need food that much..... I have pasta their anyways. 

Well that sums up my past week. Got a seminar in 9 and a half hours then another cheeky wee shift at work.... MORE MONEY! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYY!

That had to be said. For the time being I'd best get some sleep. New me I think. I'm being tidy, productive organised and I'm sleeping. Wow. Change for the better I think. Well anyway as I said I'm off to bed for some sleep so nightynight blogface! xxx

Hello my bloggy friend.

Today has been ever so productive. Tutorial work done and discussed. Spent a couple of hours up at the castle and then had some of the extra creamy hot chocolate as a wee well deserved reward. I've been back at halls for three hours now and so far I haven't done too much. I ate some scrambled egg, cleaned all the dirty dishes that were lying about my room, tidied up my room a little bit and watched one episode of Sex and the City, what brilliant ability to procrastinate I have. Now I'm sitting in my room feeling all sorry for myself and slightly homesick. I just wanna curl up and cry and to be very honest I can't even begin to explain why, because really, even I don't even know. Wanted to drown my sorrows with the  girls but they're not up for it so I've decided to turn all my negative energy into something more positive. Or at least I hope I will. I'm going to tidy up everything; hoover, dust, the works then lay out my study stuff for tomorrow and make sure everything is ready for P coming over on Wednesday. That will be a good escape! I cannot wait for her chat and hugs and general amazing self, our catch ups are always the best. With any luck her visit and words of wisdom will be what pull me out of this emotional rut that I am in. P will sort it, somehow she does have that ability. She is one hell of a friend.

My day hasn't been that exciting I don't know what else to write. Maybe I'll just stop there and put an end to my procrastination. Yup. That is thee plan.

Goodnight blogface.

Wow Prince

I'm not your lover, I'm not your friend, I am something that you'll never comprehend. Gosh I really do love Prince! What a musical genius! <3 I adore him!

Sunday 20th of November 2011

I've just ate a ready meal that went out of date yesterday. Acht well, fingers crossed it won't be too detrimental to my health. A day won't make too much difference, will it? 

Oh well we'll see. 

It's Sunday night. I've been back from work two hours. Made myself an out of date ready meal and watched a few episodes of my latest addiction; Sex and the City. It got me thinking about relationships and what I think I've finally decided is that I am more than happy with my single life. I have my friends at uni, work and home. All that comes with relationships is stress and hassle. Yeah it can be nice but why is there such emphasis laid on being in one. I love my single and free life. There is less heartache that way and to be honest after the year I've had I honestly don't think that I could handle any more. Never again, that's all I'm saying....

Anywhoooo I've had a lovely wee weekend. Jumped on the train to Glasgow on Friday in order to make it home for CP's birthday. It was a really really good night. I miss everyone so much but at the same time certain wee things made me realise how happy I am to be living through in Stirling. It just wasn't the same. Everything and everyone has changed. Or maybe it's me. Who knows? All I know is that I felt somewhat out of place. Yeah I danced and I drank but it wasn't like before. I don't think things will go back to the way it was when we were all at whitac. I'm very sad when I think about it but once again glad because well, I've escaped it all. West Lothian might be my home and a place that will always be close to my heart but I'm happy to have escaped it. I'm meant to get away from there and better myself in ways that cannot be fulfilled by what my home has to offer...... I don't even know what it is that I am saying so instead I think I'm gonna move swiftly on.

 

Work was good, I got a 600 number meaning alot more responsibilities. I feel clever. I also got my discount card. Very happy Christina liokes! Woo!

Think I'm going to tidy up and do some tutorial work. It will be good. My room will be tidy and next week will be goood. Okay.
Nightynight blogface <3 

So I left you all off at Prom. The amazing night that was.
So much time has passed since then. So many things have changed. People, circumstance, the season, life seems to be flying by and I'm just not able to stop it...

This Summer was possibly the best summer of my life. I spent a lot of time with my Mammy and the rest of the family and also got to spend my weekends in the Crofty or Chalmers generally having the time of my life with all the people who I love lots, my friends. So many occasions. Parties, birthdays and obviously TITP. We all got so close that I sit now in a uni dorm thinking how much I miss it all! Gosh. What the heck happened to us? We all got the grades through in the summer then celebrated and went of to college, university or work. The life we enjoyed then seems so very distant now and being honest I really miss it.

Uni is good though. The people are lovely, the course is tough but I cope because my room is so homely. I just wonder how it is that I cope without my Mum and Dad everyday. Georges stories of Whitac and Margaret-Anne's never ending cuteness! I miss them the most. Well them and me and mothers constant watching of One Tree Hill. It is fair to say that for the month or so before I got to Stirling we sat up for all hours watching One Tree Hill. Loved it.

Wow. Here I am being typical me and ranting away as per usual when I haven't even caught you up on where I am even writing from and the major changes that have happened in my life to force me into such nostalgia! Well for starters as I'm sure you have gathered I am not still living at home with the family, instead I am in halls at Stirling University. I'm there studying the llb in Law. It's not bad, tricky but is so interesting and will defo be worth it if I keep my ass in gear. I really do love it. I am glad that this is what I am doing with my life.  

Right Im offskies. Think I might start blogging again soon. I do love it. Lets me vent you see and alllows me to flick back through my memories as if they were recorded in a book. I think blogging is almost as amazing as photos..... Almost.
Bye beauts <3

Ahhh! I hate him and totally hate showing any sort of weakness but why does it hurt so much. Thank gosh I am at Stirling to study because if I hadn't left the shithole we call West Lothian who knows what I'd be doing now. Rant over byeeee.

Thursday 9th of June 2011

I'm going to start off this blog very un-lady-like so excuse me for my foul language but ....


HOLY SHIT
Seriously though it is 2011.
2011!
Where has the time went?
I cannot believe I have now left school and even been to prom. Everyone cried....ALOT. I haven't cried yet I think the reality of it all is yet to hit me. Yeah I'm going to miss them but it's not the end of the world, is it?
Well anyway enough about that I'll speak about prom and stuff later. I think I'll quickly summarise the first six month of this year since I completely fail at writing regular blogs.

Let me think this year alot has happened but at the same time nothing at all.
This year so far I have;

• went to Dublin- That's right I went to Dublin! On a plane and everything. Best weekend of life, better than T in the Park I think. Couldn't have spent a weekend a weekend with more awesome people than that class, Mr McLean & Miss Louden. It was tooo funny so many quotes that I will remember for life, such as "I swear I never touched yer Mary" - Allan doesn't cope well when he can't find his Mary. "yah talkative cunt and yeh ignorant bastard!" What colourful language Laura Rodden has. All I done was turn the light on after having rolled her over to turn of "your song" which was blaring and woke us all up! I took so many photos and even videos. so many memories
• wrote a dissertation - Aye. I wrote a dissertation. Proudest moment of life was handing that biatch into BigMac. It's not amazing but it's a dissertation none the less and to be honest I've not yet grown hateful of The Color Purple so think that is an achievement. I loved advanced English in the end. Don't know what I'm going to do not going to that class every day.
• revised for exams- I did do ALOT in school and bits at home I should've done more but I know honestly that I've done my best so I suppose thats all I can do, ae?
•  visited universities- Theses days out were sooooo much fun. Dundee was amazing I fell in love with the city and the Law course was possibly the best I've seen. It made me feel so passionate and realise that Law is what I want to do in my life. Then I went with Mum and Nicky to Stirling and fell in love all over again. No doubt that Dundee had the better course but Stirling is so much more practical to get to, its far enough away to live away but close enough to come home if needed. The thought of being an hour and a half or two hours away stuck in Dundee honestly killed me. It's scary enough leaving home without having a little net to fall back on. Sooooo after alot of thought I decided Stirling was for me. The campus is sooooooooo pretty, if I pass, I cannot wait to live there..
• saw The Script - Aimee Mcmahon drove us through and I screamed sooooo much. It was too good except for at the end where i dropped chips and tomato sauce all over me and Joey! Pooor little clio! I love that car as much as its Mammy. I love nights out with Aimee they are always the best sorts of night full of goss and laughs and general banter. I miss it. Not had a proper day out in ages. We need one. Her 18th party is on Friday so that'll be gooooood. Can't wait. 
• went to peoples 18ths - Katie, Samantha, Lisa, Scott and whoever elses parties I've been to this year, thank you cos they have all been brilliant. Good fun and I love spending time with everyone. Especially out of school dancing and such, PARTYROCKANTHEM and that. Lauren Cunningham wrote that across my school shirt on the last day. "Everyday I'm Shuffling!" Yeah cos of Lauren and all these parties I am. Wooo
• went to a funeral - I'd rather not speak of this, it's too upsetting but we need to hold our heads high and move forward. I pray for my family that they will get through these hard times.
•  crofty... Enough said.
•  done the race for life- Raced the race for life with the lovely GB girlies. Oh how I love they lassies. Apart from it being a good day it was a very hard day too 1 year from me loosing Gran Paterson not to mention all our thoughts being with Anne. But onto another subject before I greet like a wean...again....
• booked my 18th - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
• completed my exams - They went not too bad, I hope, apart from when I left the Biology exam and cried hysterically because it went so awful. It'll be fine, I went over the paper and I got a couple of marks here and there so who knows.
• cried over a boy, how silly I am . That wont happen again, I can assure you. I'm a tough cookie.
• went to prom.

Yeah so that pretty much sums up my year soo far, well all of the major parts and that's without even mentioning the love that was prom..... So here goes

 Friday was hectic to say the least. I got to get up and watch the Gilmore Girls and laze for a wee while without touching anything through fear of loosing a nail. Then I went to get my hair all put up. It took ages. Loads longer than expected so I was running very late. Never got photos taken at the house or have a wee glass of bubbly before I went out because I had about half an hour to do my make up get all dressed and make my way to the school. I nearly freaked, I felt like my eye make up was too heavy and I was gonna be late but then once I put my dress and shoes on everything felt better. I got to float down the stairs like a right princess, it was such a strange feeling.
We made our way to the school where the gates were locked so a major traffic jam had occurred with everyone one and their granny trying to park as close to the school as possible. Limos and cars where everywhere not to mention the hundred odd people with all their cameras and such. It was like the paparazzi had shown up at whitac. Soo anyway, we eventually got parked and I got loads of photos taken with everyone outside the school. It was amazing how beautiful everyone looked, even the lads scrubbed up not too bad. We looked dead grown up! It was veryveryvery weird. So ayeee anyway more photos were taken I got hugs from everyone then got into our shitty limo.... but we'll no go there... Was fun anyway blaring the tunes with Stefan looking out the window like a ginger poodle! I adore that man and the "gafro" what a legend.
Once we got to the Ramada we saw all the teachers and pretty much got on with prom. We sat at our tables ate food talked drank and danced. I could go into exesive amounts of detail about each of the heading but I am fully aware how long a rant this blog now really is soooo in a compromise I shall bullet point the key events....

• we ate food
• we talked
• took many photos
• I danced
• I talked some more
• I stole Scobies wrist band
• Bought alcohol
• Drank alcohol
• danced more
• talked more
• drank more 
• took more photos
• said sad goodbyes without any tears 
• went to hotel room
• danced in hotel room
• drank in hotel room
• ate nachos
• threw up a little
• sobered up
• danced more
• chatted more
• slept
• lost Amy
• looked for Amy
• found Amy
• went for breakfast
• got picked up

Can't believe it's over. Six years, gone! Really where did the time go?
Couldn't have asked to spend it with a better bunch of people. I love them all and I'm gonna miss each and every one of them so so much. Don't know what I'll do next year without them all to be entirely honest but it's all good, I'll get there. I always do.

Best go. Don't know when I'll next blog. Hopefully soon as I have so much more crap to ramble on about.
Bye blogger <3

Monday 8th of November 2010

Sooo today has been a pretty average day. I got up, showered, got ready and went to school. My hair for the first time in months was sitting near perfect when I left the house then the wind blew it. Unimpressed face much. I was then late for school so I pressume Im going to get a detention soon, oh well I think I'm probs due one, oh how I hate living in Armadale. I got to school and had a wee laugh in PSE slow dancing with Amy and laughing with Allan as per usual. It was fun. Then I had study with Julie which was good too, had a wee chat about sixth year show and stuff while looking at the hills, with the snow on them! Snow already, it scares me!
So at break Amy and I sold some fruit to the teachers again and the big thing I wear hurt my neck again too.


****
Forgot to finish it! Ah well I'm not finishing now. I haven't got that good a memory! :L <3
