I know i haven't written here in ages but i need to voice something...
None of you will know him.
In fact i couldn't hand on my heart say i knew him amazingly well myself.
But he was always one of those people capable of making everyone laugh.
All through growing up he was a re-occuring character in my life, and though a bit of an arse at times he was great company.
An incredibly talented photographer, and a bit of a cheapskate at times as well. But i think now he's gone i'm saddened that i never knew him as well as i wish i had, and wish i'd known that the last time i saw him, was in fact going to be the last time.
I guess i knew this day was not to be unexpected, as he had never been the healthiest of people. Fortunately his fight with leukemia was a short one.
But this is just to say, I'm going to miss him and this is the only message i can give to the world of him.
I had a rather crap week and was just not at all in the mood to do any of the blog crap.
Main reasons:
-School
-Work
-School
-Cornwall
-School
-People
- and School
Just been one of "those" weeks. Been so incredibly stressed and argued a little too much with a few too many people. And snapped at REALLY short notice or gone off on random rants left right and centre....
High points.
Wednesday looked at De Montfort University. Oh my!! I so wanna go to a uni like it... Dunno if its QUITE my thing for two reasons, one - There's not quite enough green for me, and i'm a total nature boy, need a bit of green to chillax on. And two... Justin wants to go there. Thats enough to put a fat person off eating... But that was a great day off school.
Friday went bowling after school with John from work. It was his birthday and drink was flowing readily, its a good thing =D Was a really cool night and was nice to get out and about away from the ruckuss of this week.
Saturday was Chris's 60th and David's 20th joint party thing. Again, got a bit drunk and all the "kids" were playing spoons and equally AWESOME games lol. Whats a guy to do lol. Was cool, although a real blast from the past seeing all these people i've known like all my life... Then it was off to Yoe Bo for Louey's birthday thing, that was cool even though we got chucked out of the park lol.
Friday lunch was cool cos we ABUSED Deanna, always makes for fun times =D If fat times too, all coke, sweet and chocolate. She has nice "pillow" features though, so she's half forgiven i GUESS... ish... =P
Anyways, its midnight now and i have had 7 hours sleep since friday. Gutte nacht
Adam =]
p.s. FINALLY seen Dr Who!! =D
And why oh why did it have to end!?!?!?
Flatford Mill is a really brilliant place. I promise you now i won't bore you with all the details of what we learnt about biodiversity etc etc and all the geeky stuff that made it a week of pure heaven for me =]
So we left on sunday after i'd been to the DGGS fair. That was a good laugh, and got a skull and cross bones painted on my cheek by Lucy =] And Simon and I wrestled ARRRrrrr. Also Beyond Innocence were playing, was pretty impressive stuff. Then it was off to the coach. Gosh it was way too hot, and the seats were tiny so i have my knees around my ears practically!! Still, read my book and chatted to Beth. Got there and we had to lug our suitcases down the hill from the carpark to the place, of course i say "we" but i was disallowed as apparently i couldn't carry my bag about 500metres. I mean come on!! So all the girlies with their wheely bags trundled off to leave me to whittle... It was cool... =D
Got there and had a few mins to explore, my room had a really nice view of the weir where the old water wheel used to be. Then we had an intro, and food. Oh my!! Food there was actually so nice! I was expecting like... school food so to speak. The kind of thing made on a large scale to be just about edible by the general populous... Well this food actually had flavour, and the veggie stuff was really nice, not hydrated hamster feed like i get 9/10.
Anyways... Week of fun and listening to people complain 24/7!! That got a bit tedious i tells ya! I MUST mention STEVE-O!!!!! LEGEND!!!! He was our tutor guy, but i've met some nutters in my time and he's WELL up there! But he was brilliant!! Fantastically clever, but managed to inspire people!! People actually worked! Anyways, we did stuff in a wood, and stuff in a river. Ecology is very similar to geography.
THEN i came home, it was awesome. Straight off to a little celebration for steph's 18th, really good laugh =] Molly getting wasted on a splash of champagne, and playing badminton and stuff.
Band was a bit lonely in the morning, like half the people were missing. So was rather thin on the grounds. And there was no simon =[ But Will was back, and he doesn't have glandular fever which is a very very good thing =D So straight after band it was off to do a charity gig for Cancer Research UK. It was an EMBARRASSMENT!!!!!!!!!! We played terribly. And that shows what happens when you try and get people to dep in at the last minute. Especially people that can't sight read!! Still, oh well. Then went into town and found.... I'M RICH!!! I got paid!! First pay cheque, best feeling EVER!! So to celebrate i bought myself a new t-shirt and stuff =D Then went to see beyond innocence and they did SO SO SO SO well!!!!!!!!! SO impressed!!! State of Mind were awesome as ever too. Although i think i might have been giving them a little bit too much grief. Haha. Was really great!! AND I GOT A SONG DEDICATED TO ME =D!!!! Love those guys.
Of course, i hadn't originally intended to go and see them, but i did hang around and that put me a tad behind schedule, so i pegged it home and got changed and grabbed stuff and it was off to Greg's. Brilliant night. Dancing, drinking, eating candy off Greg's crotch... It was good fun, with good music, and good friends =] So thank you to everyone.
This morning. Wasn't so good. I intended to leave Greg's at 7am. Walk to the train station, get a train to Swanley, and a go to work... As it went... I only woke up at 8... That is to say... The time i should have BEEN at work. So much panicking etc etc etc later i got to work, got moaned at, yada yada yada. Its all good fun really. Although my manager didn't have to tell me to work faster today for once haha, score! Did that all day, fell asleep at lunch on the table where i was eating! And now here i am. A VERY brief record of my week. I hope it was enlightening... ish...
Adam
... Days between these things. I know, i've tried not to whinge about my not writing frequently in the past few but it bugs me when i run out of time or if i forget or something. So yer, what was i talking about in the last entry of "Adam's Life", no? That not do it for you? How about... "Miserable Young Teenagers"?? Gosh i think its very very very ominous that i can make myself laugh at something like that. Ahh well, its been one of those nights eh =]
So on Tuesday what did i do? Shoot really can't remember... That means - School. Erm, started the day with critical thinking AKA waste-of-time. But hey, an extra A level is an extra A level. Whats a guy to do =] Then had a free where i have a feeling i did something. Oh no, i lie, i played magic the gathering... Or watched it being played, wasn't that amezzin... Actually i'm quite drawn to it, a fusion of strategy and pot luck. So when i tried it out for myself i only won cos the other two decided to resign and get lunch, SCORE! Then it was geography time... I think James and I just pissed off to a computer room and drooled over cars, it was pretty funny. Ooohhhhh, tangent, but was looking at cars earlier and figured i have expensive tastes. Cos i'd quite like a 206, but i'd want a diesel cos they're so much more efficient and stuff, but then only 206 3-door model with a diesel engine is like £10 000. Thats new of course, but even after a few years its still not going to be cheap... So it might be the sisters old busted 106 after all =D Might need to mod the sound system a bit, and possibly change the colour cos i'm not too fond of it, but that shouldn't be too bad, oh well =] So where was i? Geog, oh yer, thats like a 5 week dos tbh lol. And then i went up to the girls school in the afternoon to sign the Emo's (Deanna's) shirt and to do some of this epic biology project thing with Beth. We got quite a bit done, i then spent an extra 6 hours in the evening finishing it off and typing everything we'd already done up. But its good, i'm ahead of everyone and starting next weeks work early.
Wednesday - It was quite funny. Did so very very little in tech in the morning, in fact spent way more time helping Freddy than doing my own stuff, but its cool, what doesn't get done now will over summer at least. Then double bio where my half decent teacher was at least a bit impressed that i finished the entire project. But my reward from her was... More Work!!! Still, the more i do now, means the less i have to do later, which is good =D Ohhh, went for lunch with Deanna... Why does she do it to herself!? Me and Kit just abuse her and she still comes back!!! She is pretty great though, i just hope she doesn't read this!! Then there was dodgeball, actual jokes, i must confess its a laugh... We FAILED as much Ed Price almost!! But it was still so funny, I swear i was the first one out every round. Then i went round Louisa's for a while, that was a good laugh, although Ella was moulting so i got COVERED in do hair, cute dog though =] We watched Advent Children, LOVE THAT FILM!!!!!! Primarily cos i'm THAT cool lol, but i would SO do Cloud. I would be his bitch. It just reminded me of quite how pissed off i was when Aries died, ruined the whole game for me it did!!! I loved her so much... Then had my sax lesson and did a bit more biology. And made sure i went to bed at 10. Well... Went to my room at 10, i then did all the usual stuff, tidy, work out, THEN sleep. Was nice to get up on time for once this morning...
Today, today was... Pretty Damn Awesome! School was just a joke today. I mean, double geog as i said earlier all i did was look up specs of a 206 and then found everyone on their free's. Then 3 & 4 was mine, Kit and Beth's thursday picnic which was great a laugh as ever =D A bit abusive of Beth who's gunna be like my only friend next week so i'm super nice to atm =] It was really good, i'm sure i'm gunna give myself diabetes though so i might find something more healthy in a fortnight =] Then double tech to finish where we didn't have anyone teaching us so i did erm... nothing =D and afterwards found miss just for a chat. Always pays to stay on good terms with your teachers, and Mrs Smith is pretty great as they come =] Then work was pretty good too. Cos Joanne has finally left Greg's and come to Asda so i was working with someone i knew a bit and its nice to have someone to chat to whilst you work. Cos if i wanna talk to Ben or John i have to wander off to the fish counter which is a bit unsly really. Then Jay and Jack asked if i wanted to for a chinese in a couple of weeks. So everything is on the up =]
It has been a REALLY great day.
Many thanks to all involved in making it all so good =]
Time to sleep with a big grin on my face.
Adam =]
You know what, i don't think teenagers were designed to spend 61 hours a week either at school or at work. Cos blimey oh riley i am KNACKERED!!!
Still, what ya gunna do =]
I don't really have anything to report aside from -
DGS AND DGGS PEOPLE I LUURRRVE YOU!!
Cos was in the area aroun their lunch, and its just so cool, saw everyone aside from Emma =( but was still happy cos i got to see Simon and Jem =D Alongside everyone else, just those two are m' bezzies. And the instant i can drive i'm gunna be down there like every lunchtime i swear!! You guys are the greatest. Although i REALLY should abuse Claire less... I think the classic line for the day was from Sarah Rixon "Oh my Adam, you look really like yourself from a distance" Well done Sarah, truely well done... Haha, but she's great =]
Thats about my day really lol. Work was long and hard, reminds me of Simon... i mean something... =P
I really really feel like writing either a poem or a song... I just can't find the inspiration, thats the problem.
Hmmm, watch this space =]
Till that point i am fucking SHOT.
C ya
Adam
That is my new name at work, as a member of "The Elite Group" ruled over by John "The Shit". Basically, we're the cool guys from the chilled department... Get it? Cool... Chilled... No? Ahh well =]
Its a bit random, but its nice to feel a bit accepted by people.
So what have I been up to as of late?? Very good question...
Lets see, friday was a bit of the same old same old really. Anderson, Steve, and Kit were "cool" playing "magic the gathering" over lunch and our frees lol. Still, each to their own. I was actually starting to understand it towards the end... I feel unclean lol. Then it was geog, and... I CRASHED A MAC!!! SUCK ON MY LEFT ONE APPLE!!!!!!! Off to band which was a pretty good laugh, as for like the first time ever no one got offended =D So everything was happy and good =] Slight last minute panic about saxes music, but that was solved quick enough by a phone call to D. Then i just limped off home and cleaned up some of me lathe and pained some of me shed (perfect english there... "me lathe").
Saturday, wasn't that a fun morning, didn't know who or what i was doing till about 8.45, and left at 8.50! Picked up the music off D, then straight to Simon's, and from there onto posh twat ville... That is to say, Sevenoaks. Although the Ferrari garage has an Enzo!!!!! (On a tangent the two Ferrari F1 drivers beat Lewis Hamilton in the qualifier, and he's already getting knocked back 10 places for his crash. Silly fool) And then Pam, star what she is bought me a hot chocolate before we played for 15 mins on this podium in a car park. It was actually a pretty fun gig. I stopped for like half of the Habenera cos my music flew off the stand. But didn't loose my place thankfully. Then Ave Verum its very hard to cock up cos its so slow, think the crowd lost interest though. Then STANDING OVATION to Mr James Drake for Rock Around the Clock. It was so funny, i was trying to do it all from memory and just about pulled it off. Then we stopped for James's bit and he cut it really short, so i was kinda "not having that!!!" and told him and the audience that we should get a bit more. He pulled it off great. Then it was the competition itself. I was on a really gorgeous grand piano, the action was actually perfect almost. It wasn't too light, just heavy enough so that you could REALLY build into the crecendo's though! And we won that, also got the highest score of the day out of the entire competition. SCORE!!! Then it was back round Si's, which was great and Pam fed us epic amounts as ever =P Caught some of the F1 Grandprix and stuff. Then i managed to invite myself round Katie's =P It was a good night actually thinking about it all =] Thank you muchly!!!!
Today was just work and thats about it. Also discovered the live stop for my late, i thought it only had a dead stop at first, i almost cried... Haha, such a lame geek.
Its off to West Hill Primary tomorrow to do a techy project with them, should be as good a skive as ever i hope =] More annoying children thinking they're the be all and end all... Just wait till they see who's holding the power drill then. Lippy shits. I wonder if there's a piano there, that grand was just inspirational to be honest.
Ought go to bed no doubt, gotta be up extra early and need to straighten hair and stuff. Meh, reach that hurdle when we come to it.
BANG
Adam
Oh yer, thursday... This week has actually disappeared!!!!!!!!! Well... at times yes, at others decidedly not. School went pretty quick today, cos after double geog i didn't have anything to do lol. But work did seem to drag on and on and on and on and ON!!! Was quite funny though, my manager literally has NO ONE working for him on Saturday cos we're all off doing other things.
Hmmm... can i REALLY be bothered with Saturday... it does seem like a rather large amount of effort to be honest... Well, i'm game as long as someone recommends something to do afterwards. I'm not hanging around for KYJO for obvious reasons, but i do not want to have wasted my entire Saturday on just this competition... Oh and playing in a car park... That little thing makes ALL the difference there.
Shit he says, remembering that tomorrow morning he has to teach the art staff all about the laser cutter... thats not toooooo good. Erm... Lets see... Mrs Wisdom wanted to know how to do stamps... And i never asked any of the other teachers, so, this could really be true fun and games. Ahhhhh, fuck it, i've got 4 periods, i can wing it surely, it is me after all, if i can't pull off 4 hours pissing about on the laser cutter who can? (not trying to boast, but its kinda a bit of fact lol, i do love that sexual piece of sex...)
I am STILL officially confused if anyone's interested btw. But atm fatigue is sort of winning over everything so i might be due for a kip in the immediate future...
Everything is pretty much normal. I do love all this extra free time though... Beth, Kit and I went down to the shop cos we have all these free's now, and it was a really great laugh actually, just sitting around being tramps on the grass eating THE most unhealthy lunch i've ever had... fun timez =] Beth made my hair go curly though, i was NOT amused. Its weird... i straightened it without washing the wax out of my hair and it went dead straight... dunno what its done to my hair itself though, probably split it horribly everywhere... But i dunno, i rarely straighten my hair so all is cool.
Anyhow... Pip pip cheerio =]
