just a quicky!

Just a quick post today! Work is going better then expected! I was shown, yesterday, how to open up, and do the stock takes! and all on my third day! Got today off, so i've spent the morning cleaning my room etc. Going to the farm to pick up food for tina's wedding on saturday! then I have Panda coming round. Not a bad day all in all. I miss my special girl, but hoping to see her saturday or sunday! Im still not sure if I should go out with her or not1 with the age gap, and the reaction of my friends, family, her friends and family etc, will it work? I suppose i already know the answer to that one! After dating younger girls in the past, and it never ever working, will this one really work? yeah i know theres always exceptions to the rules, and shes "legal" so why should it matter? but shes not about to tell her family, and theres not a chance in hell that im about to tell wig! So yeah, i dont know :S

I do like her, but im not sure if i like her enough. There are other girls out there that have caught my eye, and they are closer to my age as well! and what with working 50 hours a week now, its not like i have the time to settle down into a relationship! Im just gonna see how things go! but anyway... Work is fun, i like it, and Nathan, the manager, seems like a nice guy!

so all in all, im good! hehe, despite having no money, or coke, or cigarettes!

I dont understand people!

Thursday I met up with Rahim, and we went to the Britannia, the pub im meant to be getting a job at, thanks to rahim! Met Nathan, the new general manager, and he seems like a nice guy, and he wants me to start on monday at 11am!

Today wasn't that bad! Woke up at a resonable time, went into town, and met demi and hayley and J...and others.... Went to buy a pair of slacks for work, traded some games in, and went to Rosie's... which is now called the Dukes Cut. Met James, and had a look around. Im very impressed wth it, the final look of it all is so much improved to how it used to be! Went back at 3pm and met ron and cath there, and had a nice long chat!

I then met up with the guys again, and was convinced by demi to come to jam jam's for lotta's birthday party! So I rang my nan and told her i was going to be late etc and walked to blackbird leys with demi and hayley. At this point i should mention that theres a thing going on between demi and churchy. Nothing has happened, but she keeps going on about how much she likes him, and he lkes her as well, and churchy and gizmo may not last that much longer! and gizmo needs to speak to churchy about something important that happened at download, and everyone thinks that she cheated on churchy. anyway...

Later on at the party, finn dom and demi disappear, and when they show their faces, they are going back out with each other :S so god knows whats going on with her, and if churchy dumps gizmo for demi then fnds out that demi is back with dom, its really gonna hurt him! Kayleigh was also there, and even though she knows i love her so much, and shes going out with jo, she spent most of the night making out with panda! so much so, that when i said good bye and panda asked for his good bye hug, kayleigh just blanked me and went back to kissing him! which pissed me off even more! J is also now going out with nick, and yeah i like her, but im not that fused about it! Amber is also now with Paul, and not that paul is rubbing it in my face, but amber is certainly having a good go at it! She always leaves if shes in the same room as me, and if pauls there and she see's me, she grabs him and kisses him in front of me! i just dont understand people any more, its like, am i the only person left in the saturday group with any sense of morals?

I just feel depressed now, but at least i got a "friend" to cheer me up! hehe... i wouldnt say im madly in love with her, i wouldnt want to even think about my motions at the moment! What with still being in love with elly, missing laura, yet having feelings for this "friend" and not knowing what to do about it! Im going to sleep on it, and think things through! its al so damn confusing!

And todays tunage is...... skillet - will you be there

the epicness of download

FUCKING EPIC! thats all there is to it really! A whole 5 days away from home, away from Oxford, and all the troubles that come with it! not only were the bands amazing, it also gave me alot of time to think about things, and I dont usually have time for that! I basically followed my timeline for gigs, saw a few other bands as well, but missed Trivium and def leppard on the sunday evening.

The main highlight though was watching Shinedown. They sung 45, and i literally cried! I know i know... Its one of my all time favourite songs, and it was so amazing! Other highlights of the weekend were seeing staind, this city, fall from grace, slipknot, and papa roach. Brought a wallet, mug, hoodie and bandana as momento's as well! Also got a really good tan, which is a supprise for me! lol I usually keep a slight tan all year round, but this is a proper full blown tan!

Didnt end up camping with the guys, and apart from wednesday and friday I didnt really see kayleigh, nick, woodzy, gizmo, bethany, dom etc. Will post pics when i get a chance to facebook, bebo, myspaz etc. Camped with some really cool people, Bea, Steph, McKenna, Jamie, Welshy, Scottish... and a few who i cant remember. Also spending 5 days camping with ALi was fun, despite waking up at 2am to walk her to the toilets lol. Which i dont really mind, she seemed to think she was annoying me, and she totally wasnt, I wouldnt of chosen to spend the week with anyone else!

As to the "Ali" thing, Nothing happened! And yeah, I wont deny the temptation wasnt there, cos it was, but i didnt let anything happen, and i was a good boy! lol! But spending all that time with her, and the chats we had, especially the one about elly... It really did start me thinking why I even ended it with Elly. I still love her, more then anything, and yeah it hasnt stopped me from seeing other girls, but i always end up comparing them to Elly. Damn me for having fucked up emotions! I just wish everything was easier to cope with! Enough of that, not going to dwell on the past. Whats happened has happened!

Tomorrow Ive got my first dentist appointment in 9/10 years, so that will be interesting, and also need to ring up about that job at the Britannia, as I still havent heard from them yet! And I really need to start working, as I havent got a penny to my name! Im also out of cigarettes, and actually smoking roll ups atm! ehhhhh nasty things!

Nothing else to report really, life sucks as per usual, but at least im trying to have some fun while its so bad! Peace

And todays tunage is...... Shinedown - 45

download fest!!!!

Really cant wiat until Wednesday when i go to download! 5 whole days of muddy, metal headed camping! Im actually hoping the weather will be somewhat better then the last few days! But who cares, its five days away from home, and theres quite a few friends going! Me and Ali are sharing a tent, which may seem somewhat dangerous, especially after what happened when we went to Birmingham, but i promise to behave myself, at least, to a certain extent! We also have big Dom, Nick, Woodzy, Kayleigh & Jo, Liv and Gizmo are all going, with the possibility of a few others who I have forgotten. All in all, it will be alot of fun! We all (for the most part) are planning on camping all together, and Nick is bringing a gazebo which i plan to put up in the middle of all our tents. If i have my way, I will also be doing a bbq for everyone on the wednesday evening after all the tents are pitched etc. Still need to buy food and alcohol for it tho, but going to the base on tuesday, so will hopefully get wig to buy the stuff i need! Will also need spending money, but i will cope!

Saturday seems like its going to be a fairly quiet day, quiet being the wrong word going to a big metal festival with loud music and such, but you get the drift. Sunday will be drastic, theres quite a few bands that overlap with timing etc and im still in two minds as to which ones to see.

This is the biggest highlight of my life, honestly, I havent been this anxious about anything this big. It really will be epic! Its also my first big festival.

In other news, I still havent heard back from the Britannia about the job. Ive heard, via Rahim, the the area manager has said yes to me having the job, but I suppose they are waiting for the new general manager to start on the 16th before getting me in. They also know that I have Download booked as a holiday, so proberly dont want me to start, work 2 days then take a week off on holiday, to come back to new management etc. Will give them a ring if i havent heard anything by the time I get back!

I'm also monitorless... (i just invented that word, shut up) thats right, my nice big 21 inch widescreen went bye bye and to the electro heaven. It recignizes that my computer gets turned on, and comes out of stand by, but the screen stays black. Maybe its cos throughout the 3 or 4 years that ive owned it, its only spent about a week actually turned off! Been looking around at prices and stuff, and can get a nice 26 inch for about £150 so maybe its time to start hinting at birthday presents etc.

in other random new, nothing much else is really going on. Im missing the last "friday gathering" at beths, as they are moving out on the 16th. That seems to be a really busy date. Will pop round when i get back from download just to say goodbye to everyone, but they are still staying in oxford, so its not really goodbye. Im still single, got two girls who want to go out with me, and we all know what im like for making my mind up on something. I like them both, and dont know what to do! One of them isnt pushing it, but the other keeps asking me out, and I've said no, at least, in the respect that i wont date anyone until after download but i cant keep saying no, and making up excuses, i need to sort something out. Been watching a ton of anime again, and downloading quite a bit. hehehe... Thats it for now, proberly wont post again til after download, so keep tuned kiddies!

Peace xxx
