29 MayHalf term!

Woo so it’s now half term officially thank god! I really needed this week off not just to have a break but to get some more of my final major project work done for college. I’m hoping to be done with my landscapes and at least a couple more characters at least worked up in photoshop and hopefully finished by June 7th. I’ve got enough time to get it all done so it’s not so bad.

I’ve not got much to talk about right now I’m really tired but had a fun night talking to Rosie on msn. She was hyper and it was just funny some of the stuff she came out with! I love you Rosie! ♥ I’m off to bed in a minute once I’m done watching the end of this movie The Haunting. It’s pretty damn good never seen it before but very strange and twisted. I was expecting it to be scary but it wasn’t just a good story with one of my favourite actors, Owen Wilson. Sadly he got decapitated at the end.. booo.

I might take a break from blogging till Monday and have a nice rest over the weekend. I’m off out getting some passport photos done tomorrow for my application to the army I need two passport photos. I have to fill the rest of the forms in tomorrow too. So I’m going to be one busy bee!

Anyway I hope you all have a nice weekend! :)
Good night ladies and gents.

27 MayPointless college journey & Battlefield

Today had quite an annoying start to it.. I got up and ready for college, had some nice breakfast and headed down to college to find out that we didn’t even need to be in because apparently they told us last Thursday that we didn’t need to be in because it was training day for the tutors. Yet no one knew about it and all of us turned up. I feel bad for the people that have to travel on buses and stuff or come from quite a distance away it must be a little annoying. I know it was for me and I only like in walking distance. I stayed in college for about half an hour scanning some of my work in that I need to do tomorrow then went to my mum’s house for a bit it was fun. :) Had a good laugh of Chatroulette as my mum has never seen or heard of it before. We were cringing each time we saw the penises popped up on the screen lol!

When I got home I played a ton of Battlefield 1943 and ranked up a few times. Loving the sniper classes at the moment I really need to play that game a lot more it’s good for killing boredom and I just love Battlefield games! If anyone fancies a game of BF:1943 and has Xbox Live send me a friend request: SuperSheeep. I might be on over the weekend sometime more than anything. Probably at night as I stay up quite late Saturdays. Eventually I’ll get my hands on a copy of Bad Company 2 if I can get it cheap.. really hope I can.

Here’s my current stats: (Not that great).

I better be off now anyway… up early in the morning. Good night ladies & gents.

26 MayWicked Wednesday

Today has been a really good day it’s gone slow but still a very good and productive one at that. I had a full day of college today so I’m so tired right now. Not used to being in on Wednesdays as I haven’t been in for them the past couple of weeks with the doctors then dentist. I felt like a zombie or as if it was all a dream I’m that tired. I got some FMP (Final Major Project) work done today mostly my landscape sketches I think there looking really nice I just need to scan them in tomorrow and work them up in photoshop.

Tomorrow shouldn’t be too bad looking forward to the lie in as I don’t start till 1 o clock and I’m only in for two hours! I’m going to bed soon, watching a film then going to sleep I think. Not sure what film to watch. I was trying to find out the name of some messed up and weird horror movie I watched on the horror channel but I’ve totally forgot.. not fair. I really wanted to watch it!

I have been converted to Google Chrome pretty much now. I detested it before but since the new version it’s much better performance wise. Plus I was hoping I could switch to a new browser as Firefox is just not cutting it any more.. gutted. I have used Firefox since version one. I could and can bare with the memory leaks but I can’t do with my browser locking up when I’m trying to search the simplest things say like Google or my browser history it was so annoying! Anyway we shall see if I stick with Chrome. Hopefully I do as I’m liking it at the minute and finding the interface less distracting letting me focus on the web page rather than the content around it.

That’s all for now people. Good night!

25 MayHectic day

Well.. wow today has been one hell of a crazy one. I had college which wasn’t half bad we blasted out some Slipknot tunes in memory of Paul Gray; rest in peace buddy. I did a bunch of photoshop work for my final major project. I had my first interview for the territorial army tonight which went very well! I was super nervous going there and speaking and being around the soldiers who have already trained and stuff but it was brilliant. The environment is definitely for me and I can’t wait to start my training. I have to fill in a bunch of forms first and take some proof of address, ID etc. Next Tuesday and after that’s processed I shall be going for my medical which is in Liverpool. So it looks like I shall be taking a trip up there I really like Liverpool especially the docks! So as long as I pass my medical with flying colours which I should do then I’m in and my gruelling training begins. I shouldn’t be so excited about that but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do but putting off since I turned 16 and left school.

Going to have to keep my fitness up now and work out at least a few days a week. I usually do this anyway just didn’t last week due to been a little ill but all better now so back to pushing myself! I’m thinking of going running early mornings on the big field near my house over the weekend to get my stamina up. At least if it’s early morning there won’t be many people about as I’m a bit shy of just doing it around here especially with all the lunatics that live in my area.

Anyway I’m off to bed I’m shattered.

24 MayMonday Madness

Well .. today’s gone well so far considering I dislike Mondays. Had a nice lie in since I wasn’t in college til 1.30pm so good times! Although college was so boring and a drag with the whining Scottish tutor. Some Scottish people are nice but he is not one of them. He rarely has anything good to say and has a go at you for nothing it takes the piss.

When I got home had some dinner like you do. Had a lie down on my bed for an hour or so as this heat we’re getting at the minute is crazy. Keeping me up at night and making me sleepy during the day.

When I woke up around half seven-ish I had a nice long call with Rosie. I wish she was coming up this weekend gutted but it was unfortunate the car broke this week what a bummer! She’s maybe coming up next weekend though so that would be awesome. Missing you so much Rosie really can’t wait to be with you in the summer it’s going to be awesome!  I’m just in bed right now about to go to sleep after watching the end of Shaun of the Dead. Love this movie I’ve seen it so many times! That’s me for today anyway.

Good night boys & girls.
P.S. Rest In Peace Paul Gray (Slipknot Bassist) you will be missed.

23 MayHello Sunday

Hello Sunday. I woke up in a fairly good relaxed mood but soon as I got up I’m feeling a bad mood coming on plus I’m quite tense which sucks. I wish life was easier sometimes but hey that’s life.

Going out soon to take those books back to the library and take one or two more back out as I’m trying to get to grips with using Adobe Illustrator. It’s my favourite application by them yet I’m pretty terrible at using it! The tutorial books are really good from what I saw. I think I might track my progress on how I get on learning the problem should be interesting. :) I hope to be able to create some fun vector pieces based on celebs, friends and myself. It’s all talk right now but I will achieve my goal!

Anyway onto the rest of the day. I went to town and the library. Took the books back and took the illustrator one back out again for another 3 weeks. I also got a couple of birthday cards for my nana because she’s 61 tomorrow! I got two because my grandad always forgets as he’s getting a bit old too and I know he appreciates me doing those little things. :) it was so hard choosing the cards must of took me 10 minutes or something stood there deciding. After that I rang my mum to see if I could go round for a bit as it was a lovely day and I had time to kill. Met her in town because she was out shopping and then went back to her house for tea and a chat. We had meat balls!! Om nom nom! I haven’t had them in at least a year they were amazing!

When I got back home I had a few beers, chilled out, had a nice chat with Rosie on the phone which made me realise how much I love and miss her! I love you Rosie. <3

That’s all folks.

22 MaySaturday scorcher!

Well today I woke up around dinner time. Went down stairs had a cup of tea and the weather was and still is scorching! I was planning on going out today but I really didn’t feel like it. I only had to take some books back to the library but it’s just come to me that I need to get my nana a birthday card snap! It’s her birthday Monday so I’m hoping the card shop will be open tomorrow or I’m gonna have to get one Monday morning eek.

So today’s been pretty good even though I haven’t done much. Had a fair few nice ice cold beers and now I’m gonna jump into bed and finish off watching this very poor quality movie called Loch Ness Terror it’s not even worth calling a budget film but it’s late. I’m having this one last beer then I’m off to sleep.

Good night ladies and gents. :)
