Enrolled at Regent college yesterday. Got my ID card; in my photo I look like shrek but at least it's not as bad as the Connexions card photo. My tutor is one Phil Irving, a maths teacher, and the courses i'm doing are; Chemistry AS, Biology AS, Psychology AS, Statistics AS and Science for public understanding AS. The latter is part of an enrichment thing the college does. It was either that, general studies or volunteer work. Hehe. Went in town with Lucy today. Didn't spend all that long together but it was cool.I Bought a new tee and zip-up hoodie from Topman and had a really nice white chocolate mocha at Starbucks. ;] Then Sarah turned up and we went with her to get her nose pierced. Big yey. -.- Then I caught the bus home. Tomorrow Ollie's meeting me out of work and we're gonna nip into town. He wants to find out about a job at Fatface and i'm hopefully gonna get a new pair of shoes from Schuh. That's all i've got for now. Surprised my PC didn't randomly crash while writing this. It's been doing it over the past week and we can't figure out why. Argh. Anyway. Arrivederci.

The Shindig last night was rather spiffy. Although getting my results was a bit of an anti-climax, wasn't as exciting as I thought it'd be. Anyway here they are: English Literature - B English Language - B Maths - B Science (Double Award) - BB I.T - B Manufacturing (Double Award) - CC French - B History - A Not too shabby eh. ;] Parents come home tomorrow. I need to hoover and have a bit of a tidy round. Plus my room still smells of cigar smoke >_< Argh.

Gets a bit strange in an empty house. ;o On Sunday Anton came round for a bit. We played on this 2player Gauntlet game for the pc and completed it in 4 and a half hours. After he'd left, I had some dinner then went out with Ollie and that. After a few hours they all came back to mine to watch a DVD and they ended up sleeping round. It was pretty fun. That brings me on to Monday. :] I went down Cadets for abit. Helped them clean up the boats and then took Loughborough's Champ for a drive up and down the river. I managed to amaze the two Loughborough cadets in the boat just by stemming the lock. That means just driving up to it, then stopping so the front of the boat is a few inches away from the lock gates and you aim to be central. After doing that I reversed out and went back down the river. They said I was 'well good'. What's scary is one of them holds the same powerboat qualifications as me, and he was so impressed by something so simple and easy. Aanyway came home and then went out again for abit. Today I met Lucy in town and we went and got some ingredients for the chocolate cake. I also bought a Larrikin Love ticket for Ollie. We came back, made a cake which tastes amazing and just generally had a nice time together. She got picked up for her guitar lesson. 5 minutes after she'd left she sent me a text asking if she could come round for a bit. That put a huge smile on my face. I love enthusiasm. ;] So we just spent another few hours snuggling on my bed and watching Friends. Hehe. Tomorrow i'm working for most of the day, then, hopefully, everyone's coming round for a few hours or to sleep over. I hope to God that we managed to get enough alcohol. Or the point has been lost. ;[ I guess I shall next update on results day. I wish myself luck, I know i'll need it.

I haven't got work again until Wednesday. I only have to work two days this week and the hours aren't all that long. That'll be a bit of a small paycheck. A taste for what they're going to be like when I start at college. I'm gonna miss getting that £80-90 a week. ;[ I spent today with Lucy. We met in town and just had a look round, ended up in Ice Mango where I had an amazing strawberry milkshake. ;D Then I was in one of those moods where you just want to buy something. Hehe. So we went into Forbidden Planet to have a look at the manga, but I didn't really see anything I wanted, and they didn't have any of the Beck series anyway. ;[ After that we went into Game and played on that Brain Training game for the DS. My brain age was in it's 70's. But that's because I didn't really pay much attention as I was trying to see where Lucy had gone at the time. She found me and went on it and her brain is in it's 40's. I wasn't happy. I didn't want to part with that much money so I didn't buy a game. Ended up buying a 'mitten' to put my DS Lite in instead. Hehe. ;] After that we walked to Abbey Park and just sat cuddling and smooching which was rather nice. Then we split up and went home. I had a very nice time. :] Tomorrow morning my parents are off on holiday so i'm home alone for the week. It shall be an experience i'm sure I will enjoy. Hehe. Thursday is results day. I'm anxious/excited so we'll see what thursday brings. But either way i've planned a little gathering in my back garden with some stock from bargain booze. It'll be nice to get our little group together again because it's been a while. So yeah, that's all i've got for now.

Tonight is reminding me of those Winter Nights. I think it's just because it's starting to get dark earlier. The smell of incense was coming from downstairs. And in a few weeks the summer will come to an end. It's strange the feelings it's bringing back. And I can't put into words just how it feels. It's just one of those things. Like how one scent brings back hundreds of memories. Tonight is a hundred scents.

Met Lucy in town after work yesterday. Walked around, had a look around the shops. I bought the Larrikin Love tickets. On the ticket it says 18+ gig but the website says 16+. If I don't get in i'm gonna be well pissed off. After town we walked to Abbey Park and hung out there. There were a group of emo/scene kids. Worse than chavs I tell you. Two ambulance people and a police car turned up cause one of the girls had taken something and kept collapsing and stubmling around. Idiots. I kissed Lucy in Abbey Park, just one of those moments where we looked at each other and it felt right. But I dunno if it does. I'm not sure if it's cause she's the first girl i've been with since Dayna, although that shouldn't make a difference, but something just feels strange. I don't think it's going to be one of those relationships where everything feels special and amazing. It'll be nice. But I dunno. Might have too high expectations from the last relationship I was in. =/ I guess not all relationships are going to be as good as others. Just something i'll learn over time I guess.

So went to the gig last night. Charlotte called for me and then we met Sam and Kt at the bus stop. Charlotte told me about some of her issues with Simon and I couldn't decide whether they were worth worrying about, or that they shouldn't make a difference. So I see what dilemna she is in. We went to McDonalds before the gig. It really scares me. So many weirdos in society today. Really does scare me. But I got to play with the car out of the happy meal so that was cool. Haha. We got to the gig, and I saw Lucy so I went over and said hi. Then we sat together for a few hours talking and holding hands which was nice. ^_^ Then With A Story came on stage and the lead singer Ross was like 'Right then lets get everyone to the front..Where's Luke-Paul..Yeah get up here you!' Everyone in The Shed just looked at me I was so embarassed, hehe. After a few more sets I had to go, otherwise I would have ended up stranded alone. So I said bye to Lucy, and she hugged me and told me she didn't want me to go. That was cute hehe. So after a long good-bye I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went. I didn't want to be too forward or put her off straight away so I played it safe. :] Work today was ok. Was on collection all day, didn't get complained at. ^_^ That's all I have =/

For the sake of looking back; I went on HMS Campbeltown for three days the week before last. :] Today was a bit like Christmas really. ;D I woke up and my order from bodyjewelleryshop had arrived. I bought a squishy black 8mm plug with 8 or so beads for £5. The plug has a hollowed out bit at the end where the beads slot in. Meaning I can change the colour depending on what I fancy. It's nice. :] At the moment I have this funky green bead in. Now that i'd sold my BMX for £30 and my Nintendo DS for £60 (thank you Leicester Mercury ;D) I had enough money to buy myself a DS Lite. (I had enough money anyway, but because it was a bit of a material desire considering I already had a Nintendo Ds, I didn't want to spend my hard earned wages on it.) So I went to argos and bought a black one for £90, £9.99 off due to staff discount. ;D The decision between white and black took me stupidly longer than it should of. Anyway while I was there, one of the other not-so-new starters told me that the uniforms had finally been delivered. So I went round the back and got it. I have a blindingly bright blue short sleeved shirt and a long sleeved red one. They fit nicely and they're not too bad. It's weird how I write so much about nothing, and nothing about so much. ;o Also awaiting Kt's letter explaining things. *shrug* Not really needed but shall be fun to read at the least. :] Anyway that's it for now. ;D

Went with Gem, Hattie, Paul, Mike and Louise. It was a good day. ^_^ Didn't like Nemesis, that made me feel sick. But all the rest of the rides were cool. Air and Oblivion were awesome. Shame the pictures were crap. Heheh. Over to Loughborough cadet unit today. Gotta be told what's happening on Monday. Going away for three days on HMS Campbeltown. Sailing from Liverpool to Portsmouth so should be cool. Change of scenery. I'm a wuss and still feel dizzy from Alton Towers and i'm real hot. ;| It's this bloody computer.

Two french entry titles in a row. ;o Maybe it'll become a regular thing. Heh. I'm feeling ok this morning, I like the whole cool and damp weather that's going on. Makes me feel nice and calm. I have work later, short day today though, i'm only in for three hours. Saturday i'm in for five. Gets quite tiring hauling stuff out of the stockroom. Hopefully they'll put me on collection for a bit. I'm trying to be extra social and friendly while i'm there in the hope that they'll train me on the tills sooner rather than later. Went to Nottingham for a wander round with Gem, Hattie and Paul yesterday. We were supposed to go Alton Towers but we decided to give it a miss because of the crap weather. Bought a new plug from Kazbah when I got back to Leicester. It's 8mm *shh* can't let my mum know. I didn't really want to go up to 8, but 6 seems too small and I can't find much jewellery at all at 7mm. I'm struggling to get it in, so i'm going to have to use my pen as a taper. Luckily it's the right size and everything so i'll try that in a bit. Won't be seeing Kt again before she goes to Spain, and then she doesn't get back until the Wednesday after next. Hm. I can see this thing taking longer to progress than I thought. That's that for now then.

Regent taster day was yesterday. Apart from being immensely hot it was pretty cool. Looking forward to starting there at the end of summer. That's if my grades are good, which I keep worrying about but I just have to put that to the back of my mind. I have work tomorrow. Getting paid at the weekend I think. Three things I want to buy; new earplug, a pipe and a new incense burner. I prefer my big dragon one as an ornament, it's too much effort to use. Not much to write today.

Did my first bit of work today. ;D Went into Argos at 10 with the other new people, we got our locker keys, employee numbers and our hours for next week. We then got taken up into the stock room and shown the works. Then we were left to it with some other staff. Was pretty fun actually. Heheh. Apart from when I put this pressure washer on the conveyor belt. I used the plastic thing to stop it from rolling down, as the conveyor belt goes down to the ground floor. But it didn't work. Pressure washer rolls down, builds up speed and starts bouncing all over the place before landing at the bottom. I just backed away, don't want to get sacked on my first day. ;| I'm in tomorrow again for three hours. Sundays are time and a half, so tomorrow I shall earn..*does the math*..£18.99. Not too shabby. ;D

My Argos induction went ok. Had to fill in a never-ending pile of forms, watched a cheesy company DVD and got shown around the place. I had to make a great impression though, by throwing up in my mouth. ;| A stomach bug decided to kick in. I felt like absolute shit when I got home so I went to bed and stayed there. Threw up, quite a lot. Not that I wanted to go into detail, but when I first threw up it reminded me of that scene from Team America. So it was a mixture of laughing and being sick. Felt better this morning and managed to be ok enough to meet up with Kt. We went to see X-Men, which I thought was a good film, and she liked it too. We both had a good time, bit of a giggle and a chat so. Obtw. She looked amazing today, had to stop my jaw from completely dropping. Heheh. Tomorrow I have to go into Argos from 10:00 till 1:00, only three hours. I think we're getting our clock-in codes, uniform, lockers etc. Argh my head's banging. Time to wrap it up.

I well have a Livejournal again. SitDiary I dislike you! I don't know why, but I do! I'm only going to carry on updating this for old time's sake. Argos Induction tomorrow. Kt = ARGHIGHSFJBJFLSBN!! >.< For no reason btw. YAWN.

Recently i've become really concious about how much i'm eating. It sounds silly and strange but I don't know, I think the sitting around all week is to blame. And the fact i'm getting to know a girl better so my usual 'self-scrutiny' kicks in. This next week shouldn't be as boring as the one that's just passed. I think i'm going to see Fearless, the new Jet Li film on Sunday. Monday probably call Alex up and go to the gym. Tuesday i've been roped into doing some Veteran's Day parade. Wednesday I think Hattie's planning something. Thursday is my Argos induction ;D and Friday, probably cinema with Kt. But not to see the new Pirates of the Carribbean. ;[ What shall I do today?

I just got a phone call from Argos. They've offered me a job and i've got to go along to an induction next Thursday. Very happy about that one, i'll no longer be nagged at to go around handing my c.v in. I think i'm going out in a bit. See what this whole Starbucks business is all about, lol. All my mates have sat around in there when i've not been in town so i'll see what it's like. Do they do tea? Shall have to find out. Heheh. Right I better go and have my shower, I don't smell too good.

The prom was ok. I danced quite a bit, got my groove on heheh. The last hour was crap after Daniel left and the twat 'DJ' started playing Reggae so. Slept round Anton's last night with Michael. It was a laugh, watched Team America again. Everyone has Aids. Heheh. I actually stayed past 7am which is a rarity, but we actually got some sleep so I didn't really need to leave early for once. Today I went Abbey Park with Kt. It was really nice, had nice conversations and had a laugh aswell. She said i've made a few things clear to her and helped her to understand how she is with her emotions and stuff, mainly when it comes to the whole relationships thing so that's cool. Sounds a bit 'immature' but I don't care; We were laying on our fronts side by side. I tickled her fingers with a daisy and then put it in her hand. She grabbed for it and we ended up holding hands lightly, then she was moving one of her fingers across my hand. It was cute. ^_^ I know it sounds so small and insignificant, but in this whole 'getting to know each other better' situation it is quite a good step to get over. I mean it's sometimes awkward to make the change between just being friends to being more than that. So the little steps can sometimes be the biggest. Anyway she's off to Wales tomorrow morning so. Also tomorrow morning i'll be getting up and ready for my interview at Argos. I'm really hoping I get offered a job and yeah, i'll be disappointed if I don't but what can you do. It'll be nice to get some money and it'll give me something to do over the holidays. Not sure if it's the Kt thing but i'm really looking back on my relationship with Dayna with a huge amount of regret. I know at the time it was all perfect, but now it's just, ugh. That's why i've deleted all the friends i've met through her, not going to look at her myspace again or anything like that. The sooner I can forget her the better. It would have been different if things didn't turn out so bad I guess.

Just got back from Cadets and chugging up and down the river in the viking for a few hours. A couple came down the river in a day cruiser and stopped for dinner up river by the lock. We were waiting for them to go so we could do some speeding and some 'Jesus turns' aha, we have to make sure nobody's around otherwise they could complain and we'd be faced with a £1000 fine. Anyway they spun round and the bint of a wife wanted to feed the ducks. We watched them from down the river as they got caught on a bastard of a sandbank, aha. One big rule 'Know the local water hazards'. Anyway I was 'driving', so we went up to them and asked them if they needed any help. And I was very nervous but managed to used my common sense and perform well. ;D We spun round so we had our port to their starboard and I put it in astern (backward) and positioned myself a metre or so off of their starboard quarter. They lobbed us some rope and Pedro tied it round the post on the bow. I put it astern and took up the slack. Then put it further back, 'cause this boat was much bigger than ours. It wasn't shifting. So I put it full astern. Smoke was pouring out our exhaust and both boats were shaking but we finally tugged them off the sandbank. I went forward and laid a metre or so away and they thanked us. Just had to write about that because it's the first time that's happened in 5years of me being there, and I was the one who rescued them. ^___^ Here's a picture of our shed of a boat, the lovely Viking: And a pic of the boat we rescued:

Wow. I'm so happy right now. Today was the day of my last exam, i'll only have to return to school now to get my results at the end of August, good riddance. ;D Later on is the prom which i'll have to start getting ready for. And, got a call about half an hour ago frm Argos. I handed my c.v in back in April and they rang to arrange an interview for summer work. Ahaha, afterwards I couldn't hold it in and did a victory dance around the house. I probably won't get it, but it's my frist job interview so. ^____^ Right so tonight i'm hopefully gonna have a bloody good time at the prom to give the summer a good old kick-start.

Well it's a busy day for me anyway. Today was the day of many people's last exam, so I took my camera in and got some pictures of people. It was quite nice. It's starting to hit that i'm leaving, it doesn't bother me, but i'm starting to realise it. After we got home Ollie, Owen, Paul, Michael, Anton, Gemma, Hatty and I went into town to look about and had the all you can eat at Pizza Hut. I'm still bloody stuffed, aha. It was nice to hang out in a group and actually do something for once. I've just got back from getting some suit trousers, a shirt and a tie for the 'prom'. It annoys me how it's so difficult just to get these items without having to go all over the bloody city. Took us around 2 and a half hours. I hate shopping. Another thing, had to buy my Dad a Father's day card today. Why does the industry assume that Dad's are either wastemen who sit on their arse drinking beer and watching football all day, or that they're posh bastards who like a spot of golf and to go sailing. That pisses me rate off. I have my History exam tomorrow so I better do some revision now.
