Terry Fitch
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.
None of you will know him.
In fact i could
But he was alway
All throu

My most humble apologies...
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

What A Week!!!
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...

1, to 2, to 3...
... 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.

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

"The Dedication"
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.

What day is it today??
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 =]

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...

Busy Busy Busy =]
I do have the sneaking suspicion that i wasn't made for the school environment. I am actually wondering how long its gunna be before i get into crap for skiving a lesson i've already dropped. Basically, i FINALLY dropped chemistry after this year of torment that has been every monday first thing, tuesday last thing, and thursday slap bang in the middle. But where the girl's school policy is "if you're gunna drop it, you're gunna drop it... end of, take those lessons as free's". BUT... my school is a bitch as says that you have to keep on attending those lessons till you get your results, just on the off chance. So, there's gunna be a clash of me not turning up at some point in the immediate future... Oh well, we'll reach that hurdle when we come to it =]
School it seems are half piling the work on thick... But half not... Its weird. They're filling up the lessons like there's no tomorrow, but not giving us anything to do at home. Sounds great doesn't it =D We'll see how that one works out, i'm sure at some point i'll get one of my random compulsive urges to do some dt work lol. Or polish my knives again... but thats generally a "stress" activity. But they don't half look gorgeous afterwards =P This is my first blog about school i think... Yer, must've started this just into my study leave i think. Yer, 11th May, the sunday before my leave officially started. Basically... You may find that i start to bitch about some people quite a bit... So i'll give you key...
"Woman" = Miss Simons (geography)
"Cunt" = Douglas Harris ("colleague" - total PRICK)
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH" = Mrs Cottam (headteacher - should jump off a cliff)
"Sexbomb" = Mr Sexton (head of 6th form)
There might be a few more i'll throw in at some point. Woman and AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH pretty much hate me cos when it comes to them i can't bare to stand their bullshit. I've given them both a pretty hard time, which they DESERVE!!! Cunt doesn't know quite the extent to which i detest his very being... Although he probs won't get mentioned all that much... And Sexbomb can be good, and he can be a twat. Although if he gets mentioned here it'll only ever be for a bad thing lol.
Gawsh i have such a dilemma...
Its like...
Half of me says "you're just setting yourself up to get hurt with more of the same"
And the other half says "she might have changed, and she has just poured her heart out, and its not like she's been bitchy about it all since..."
I REALLY don't have a clue... In the slightest. I mean, same old same old and all that. But this really has got me totally confused... Am i a bitchy person? Do i want to prolong someone's suffering when i'm sure i could help? But do i want to stick my neck out again!?!? Sometimes i do wish i was slightly more decisive... This one is going to be SUCH a thinker... Believe you me.
Missive for the evening. I'm tired and school is crummy =]

Why is nothing simple??
And always bloody confusing!!!!!!
It really is a pain in the neck. Gawsh, you think you have a lid on your emotions, but then you find they've been leaking out the bottom... Its a pain in the neck.
I really don't want to hurt people, nor be a typical "guy"...
OH whinge bloody whinge, cry the world a river Adam... ¬_¬
Gutte Nacht

Bundle of laughs here people...
First and most important things first...
THE BEAST IS HERE!!!!!!
A Coronet Minor woodworking apparatus.
Lathe, table saw, disk sander, AND surface planer all in one... I may have just done something i'm going to have to clear up at some point in the near future... But my oh my it was worth it!!!
Sadly my father got to it... so its already in pieces... ¬_¬
And i don't know if the motor works...
Or where the on/off switch is...
But thats all trivial stuff. There is SO much rust on it, but i think i could actually bring myself to lick it off... i wouldn't... but i could. I'm sure some 1200 grit wet and dry, then some steel wool, then some polish... will do it fine. Such a sexy beast in deep red though. I am going to have so much fun with it. Need to find out the sizes of the bits and pieces on it so i can buy stuff though...
I'm finally starting to get the hang of this whole "work" lark i think. Even if my new manager is a twat. You just turn your brain off, and ask someone else. Although Lee on chilled is a bit of legend!! Met a cool guy on the compactor too. If only it was a LITTLE less mind numbing, i could actually cope properly with it i reckon. But oh well, its not forever =] (i bloody well hope!!)
Next... I have a vague idea of what's going on now thanks to my ever faithful luvver David. Its all just gunna kick off again good and proper when we hit school again. I'm quite looking forward to it... Although does mean i'm gunna have to get back into making my hair respectable on a wednesday... effort!!
Finally... I've been given permission to be a bitch =P i dunno, i'm just in the mood (alas decidedly not for dancing and romancing [[well certainly not with this person]]). But yer, see, those keen followers may have noticed i mentioned a certain Charlotte Rollinson a week or so back. THEN i warranted a mention in her blog, for my mention of her in mine. She basically said i was being pathetic cos the only thing i had against her was the colour of her hair (oh btw guys i KNOW i'm being pathetic right now, but as i said, the mood just took me and i do love a good wind up =P) So, i thought i would just you know, bounce off what she said in hers, again in mine.
First off your annoyance-ship. I have the balls to mention your name, of course the world (who you INSIST on spilling your bloody soul out to at every possible time) knows you mean me of course. I'm not referring to you just as "she". Although that does somehow seem fitting... Hmmm, no... breaking every promise under the sun you made to me doesn't quite put you into the "she" catagory... thats one reserved for a few select people, including Karen Hobbs and Fiona Cottam. Stupid bitches.
I can't help but wonder though... Just what inspired you to go and sit near me after band... Were you trying to prove to yourself that you have the power over your emotions? Or trying to wind me up? Of course you could genuinely have thought "i'm getting picked up here, it makes more sense for me to sit here instead of under my larry tree". I dunno, i just thought you storming past me was quite funny.
Thats all i can be bothered to rant about tonight. My head is killing me, dunno why... Still, no reason to take drugs. Am i on deaths door? Is it stopping me from functioning? No. And i don't want a dose of paracetamol stopping me giving bloody when i find a place to do it.
Again, my usual two apologies, sorry i haven't written one every day, and sorry this is such a bitchy/whingey rant.
OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!! Almost forgot to mention... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FRIDAY!!!!!! =D =D =D =D =D =D Had a really great time guys, once we FINALLY got some bloody booze!! Makes everything a good evening. Even if we had to force Emma to drink Strongbow cos we didn't have any "blue stuff"
Actual love to you all you amazing people!!
(And a tiny bit more for Simon)
Good night =]
Adam
p.s. Whoever told Charlotte, feel free to tell her about this one too. I wouldn't post it all over the Internet if i didn't expect it to get read would i??

Blog then bed
Sounds like quite a good plan doesn't it =]
Today has been rather awesome really. Off working at this site in Eynsford again, building this roof. We got a bit of a stomp on this morning and got some boards up there. Was really good fun actually. Hundreds of bloody nails though, clobbered my already black thumb a nice one causing out bricky Tony to have a laugh.
But its just been really great fun. Today has been bloody brilliant, i find it hard to describe why, it just has been.
I just remembered something, this is supposed to be my Nonstandard blog... Well, i have absolutely NOTHING to report lol. Ben's animation is coming along pretty well, seems absolutely hilarious actually, really looking forward to that one =D But in regards to this film thing. I haven't a clue, so David, if you decide to read this - WHAT THE BLAZES IS GOING ON!?!?!?!
don't seem THE most educated of people, although they're bloody sharp in their own ways. But yer, every other word it seems should be bleeped out. Not good when you get in the car with your mother afterwords to go "you'll never fucking guess what my fucking day was fucking like!" Needless to say i wasn't too popular I've been picking up bad habits the last couple of days! Its not very good. I keep swearing, as those working on this building site at least in their mannerismshaha. So i'm going to eloquent. Colloquialisms have their place, and that is the building site, not around the house or in generic conversation. Picked up some brilliant terms though. Gunna be in tech at school and go "someone pass me that wanky spanner will ya" or "geeze, this piece of wood hasn't half got a lot of clack on it!!" alongside MASS overuse of the word "geezer"
But today has been phenominal
And... MY LATHE ARRIVES TOMORROW =D =D =D
Its going to be a great day =D
Adam
p.s. Deanna is SUCH an emo!!!!!

Okay, 4 days... my bad haha
Bloody impossible to scrape together the energy to write here last few nights. so i just kinda... haven't =]
So, i left the story friday i believe. After two days of asda training and bandy type things. Or something a bit like that anyways.
Saturdays, always a bloody killer. Was up and in asda by 9 for this stupid test thingy. Its all multiple choice, but you had to sit through all these video's before you could answer the damn questions. Still, did that in under an hour. had to wait another hour for all the others to bloody finish!!! Wretched technophobes!!! Then it was time to don the SUPER SEXY high vis jackets and get shown how to move something with wheels. big bloody shocker there. Finally got home, and can't say i really remember what i did the rest of the day... saturday... saturday... nothing on the calendar to say i did anything special. Must've just been lazing about the rest of the afternoon i reckon. sounds about right for me.
So, onto Sunday. First actual shift. 8am - 5pm. And guess where they put me, onto meat. Great sense there, i know, we'll put the veggie on meat. Still, it was worth it for my managers face in the morning.
"Hi Adam, how are you this morning? Ready for your first shift?"
"Yer, i'm not too bad thanks, looking forward to it"
"Brilliant, you're going to be on meat today. That okay?"
"Erm..."
"Haha, you're not a vegetarian are you?"
"Kinda... as in kinda yes."
"Oh..." *the look on his face that made it worth lugging around dead things for the next few hours*
It wasn't actually that bad. Nice and cool cos was in and out of giant fridges, and the people couldn't have been nicer. Also bumped into a few people i knew from outside of work which was nice. Nice to know i'm not alone out there lol. But it was a bit depressing, especially putting out bacon, looking at the roll cage and seeing just how much of it there was, and thinking "how many bloody pigs had to die for this??" so wasn't all fun and games. But you gotta do what you gotta do, and all in all it could have been FAR worse! Was rather tiring though, so when i got off i was VERY happy to get home, grab a cold one out of the fridge, and knock up a big jug of Pimms before our BBQ. That was good, very good evening. None of this football rubbish!
Yesterday, Monday. I'm on work experience this week, with a friend of mine's dad. He's an industrial carpenter, and a really great bloke. I know him through band as well of course. But working with him and his gang is brilliant fun. A bit boring at times as there can be fuck all to do aside from watch... But then you can just chat. And moving stuff, thats good for the old arms i'm certain =D Also made myself a steel bracelet thing as a little trial. Well, made it over the weekend, accidently slept with it on, and woke up to a lump of rust around my wrist. fun fun fun... Then had another 5 hour shift in the evening. This one was less fun. I wasn't on meat, so i was thinking "GREAT!!!" Instead i was plonked on fruit and veg. It does pain me to say it, but i preferred working on meat. I mean, it was better organised, better stocked, the people were nicer, explaining things better. I mean bloody hell, its my second day, i don't have a fucking clue about anything!!!! And they made me spend an hour and a half just compacting rubbish. I was not amused. Nor that my colleagues just fucked off every now and then to go and chat up girls. So, not a great department, would rather work meat... which doesn't appeal greatly, but still.
Today, got there at last. Well, took all the rust off my bracelet, and laquered it, so hopefully i won't have the same problems again! Got up at half 6, way too early and got to work site about 8ish. Today was slightly more fun. Big old power drill that tried to break my wrist, shifting these great big oak beams, actually walked away knowing i'd helped do something which was nice. And biggest advantage, no work today. nothing till thursday in fact, so DON'T expect a blog then lol. Got home and found my "workshop" (shed) has arrived. Really happy about that. Father was less so, cos its another job, and just moving it off the doorstep was a bit of mission in its own right to be honest. But what can ya do? Also my dad's opinion is that if you but it, its gunna be rubbish. He might be correct, but what he wants to do to this shed is gunna take FOREVER. It might well be worth it... but still!!! Eurgh. I meant to have a cat nap earlier, no bloody chance of that. But at least i can be in bed before bloody midnight for once i hope.
Goodnight cruel world

Same as before
Its hard to find the effort to write here late at night sometimes, and last night i just couldn't be bothered. Coughing non-stop, and a bit tired from learning how to serve people correctly, in a non-sexual way i'm afraid, i just decided i would be better off in bed. so thats what i did.
So yer, first day of induction yesterday. Surprisingly good. I mean, obviously some of its bullshit, but some was genuinely interesting and it was quite nice to learn. Some of my to-be colleagues are... Typical Swanley, shall we say...And i think learning to be nice and positive to people might be quite the challenge for them... But ahh well. There are a few nice ones =]
Today was pretty much more of the same really. I mean, we were given a few exam type things, but they weren't too bad. By which i mean they were insanely easy, and if we looked like we were gunna take more than one second we were told the answer... cheating i'm sure!!!
After work it was off to band. Always a thrill, shame Gareth doesn't understand that I CAN'T PLAY PIANO!!! I read words, or if i'm reading notes then not too many and not in that kinda environment. I can play the moonlight sonata not too badly with the music in front of me to read off, but try and get me to read loads of stuff just like that *snaps fingers* then i will just truant. Not what i signed on for. Still, saxes was still a bit of a joke as ever =]
Then i walked to Katie's and bounded in to see Simon and Greg and people. Was a really good evening, thanks guys if any of you ever read this... Ever. I will never understand Gregs Paris Hilton obsession, but there you go, each to their own. And thankfully the "Enchanted" DVD wouldn't work so i was spared that one AGAIN. We did watch Epic Movie though, which after being told was total crap i actually thought was rather entertaining. Then all too soon it was time to depart ='[ until the next time.
As for me, i'm off to bed before 12 for once as i've got to be in Asda for 9am for an exam thing... fun eh? Must remember passport and birth certificate!
Bon noui

So yer, first day of induction yesterday. Surprisingly good. I mean, obviously some of its bullshit, but some was genuinely interesting and it was quite nice to learn. Some of my to-be colleagues are... Typical Swanley, shall we say...And i think learning to be nice and positive to people might be quite the challenge for them... But ahh well. There are a few nice ones =]
Today was pretty much more of the same really. I mean, we were given a few exam type things, but they weren't too bad. By which i mean they were insanely easy, and if we looked like we were gunna take more than one second we were told the answer... cheating i'm sure!!!

Soz bbz
I did genuninly mean to write something here last night. But it came round to it and i was feeling shite and just wanted to go grab some kip before my chem exam this morning. Right, so, yesterday. That was actually not too bad a day.
Morning, first morning i didn't feel COMPLETELY shit. So got up and had my first shower since i'd started feeling ill. Felt so good!!! Shit.. don't think i conditioned my hair... no, must've... hmmm... yer. must have. so, off to school for a biology exam which i'm gunna be honest, i was pretty nervous about. but it was actually not all that bad, put an answer in every box at least, and they seemed to fit roughly. Although got bloody confused by some stuff on cellulose that i'd forgotten to look at in the 15 mins worth of revision i did in the morning =P all good fun eh? then it was home to panic revise for todays exam which just didn't happen. just filled out some Asda paper work and chatted to people and all that kinda stuff. in fact. till i went to bed mega early, at like 11.30 i didn't pick up a chemistry text book... nor did i after 11.30... just got into my nice clean bed, texted a few people for a while, and had a crap nights sleep.
Today... was a little less good initially. i woke up late, painfully aware that i had not looked at any of my books i was, i will admit, a tiny bit worried about this exam. I mean, i could live with a D, would love a C, but would actually cry if i got a U. I would be the biggest let down in my family... like... EVER. So, full of determination not to let that happen it seemed nightmare was about to be realised when i opened up the first of my two test papers. I had to leave blank bits here there and everywhere.. no toooooooooooooo many. but a few too many for my liking. But after what felt like an eternity we were finished, and onto the second paper which in comparison was a GIFT. I mean, it was almost GCSE stuff... so if i've done badly in that one how thick am i gunna feel now eh? Still all fun in games. But i did have a plan to "cheer myself up" it was off to my friend Laur's house to help her revise her GCSE chemistry. At last something i KNEW i could do =]
Of course... best laid plans. We revised for a while. Quite a while actually, well over an hour, using my "amazing" (LOL) teaching skills to try and help her out a bit. i think she got it a bit more... i hope so. But yer, then the whole "work" thing fell to pieces and we played Wii, and watched the 5th Element, damn i love that film! And oh my, her dad is actually so cool!! We had this little chat about wood and stuff, whilst Laur and Gem were just like... "what?? You can't be serious..!" Was really cool, they have these gorgeous ornaments, two are a wood i can't remember, nothing REALLY exciting. But they had this mushroom made from Yew. Oh my... could have almost dropped my trousers right there and then. it was AMAZING. As soon as i've got my lathe up and running i'm making one!!!!! I've got half a bloody Yew tree in the shed, and this thing was incredible!
Today has been really great. Sat watching Sweeny Todd, texting Gem who was on the other end of the sofa lol. So, if either of you two read this, thanks for a really great evening =D
Oh, and Monica, best of luck for your exam tomorrow darl', you too Daisy =]
Now go to bloody bed world!!

Not too good at this keeping up to date thing...
But i have my excuses, everything has been a little bit busy and stuff.
Okay, lets start at friday:
Jemmy's =D I swear that girl does like THE best get togethers ever. Although i was not amused, fucking £3.90 for a one way to Westcombe Park!!! £3.90!!! But i got there and all was gravey. Booze, and fit blonde girls, and this REALLY annoying girl but i won't dwell on her cos she was the same size as a house. That was a really great night, even if i did only get 30mins sleep whilst people were watching "Enchanted" terrible terrible film...
So saturday, i had to pay another £3.90 to get back to sunny dartford. had a couple of hours, and was then off to orpington for Verity's birthday party. which was a pretty good laugh. Aside from slag and **** (D&B) some people will get that one lol. It was fun, although my nails were the same colour turquoise as verity's top and toria's bag.
Sunday was spent pre-dominantly in bed, or throwing up. Nasty virus thingy. Was not amused. Literally did nothing. And that has spilled over into today. Guess who has their biology exam tomorrow as well?? Still, its not all bad, cos cos cos cos cos... I have a job at Asda =D High aspirations i know, but its good for me =]
Courtesy of a certain miss caves i was pointed in the direction of THE funniest thing i've seen in quite a while. Charlotte Rollinson (henseforth to be known only as ginge[or if i'm feeling especially nice the most annoying person i've ever met])'s blog. Made me really really laugh. I mean, can anyone imagine what the result of her and Ed Price being together would be???? A short, annoying, ginger, not funny... THING.
Anyways, sees y'all

Ahhhh
Sorry I haven't been keeping this up to date the last couple of days, half term normally gets a bit manic and a bit fun =]
Ignore the rage of that last one, that was just a moment of very very VERY extreme annoyance, although at least you now know my policy on drugs, and my saying STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEM!!!
Right, so i haven't written anything since the bank holiday. Well, that turned out to be a very very boring day. We were supposed to be headed Orpington way to shoot a Dr Who spoof thing, but that one kinda fell through, so i was left at home with literally nothing to do all day, advantage being i didn't have to crawl out of my pit till 2 in the afternoon, good times. Although i seriously did so little all day, i was INCREDIBLY cool and was practising my knife sharpening skills. And why not eh? I love my pen knives, so so much. They all have their own individual stories behind them and the amount of tlc they get from me its great =D
Tuesday, i again had reserved for shooting. But at least i'd had time to change my plans round a bit and do something more interesting with my time. As such, i went off to sunny Eynsford and met up a few friends and we went for a walk/gossip, it was really good fun. And it was cheap too, thats ALWAYS good in my books, everything else seems to cost insane amounts of money. And then it was off to Greenwich to kip round a friends and stay up really not all that late cos she was tired out by like half 11... So i was just sat around in the guest bedroom till about 3.30 wide awake. I dunno what it is but i can't sleep well in other beds unless i'm completely knackered!!! Also my bed at home being so crap i was lying right on the very edge, with a pile of pillows on the other side cos i can only sleep on one just rather bored. If the floors weren't so creaky that i'd have done some exercise, something which half term is terrible for! Always slip out of my routine, just have to make sure i get back into it. Although, it was worth being up at about 2 for that thunder storm wasn't it!! Bloody AMAZING. I thought the house was actually shaking, nature at its very finest!!
Wednesday, best - day - EVER! Well, not quite, but it wasn't bad. Had to be up early to get to the dentist for 9.30. I thought, thats easy, i'm in Westcombe Park, dentist's Charlton. 1 stop away and a smidge of a walk, sorted... No, never that easy. As ever the curse of bloody public transport!!! GRR!! Got to the station with spare time. Went to the ticket machine. Bloody coin slot was blocked!! Had to ask someone to buy my ticket and then let me pay them back, and it all took too long, hammered on the door button just as my train decided then would be a really great and useful time to pull away... Then i got lost in Charlton... But was at the dentist's by 10.00 so its all good. And he said my teeth are good =] Then came home and started trying to get everything sorted. Had to tidy up everything and clean and shop. £50!!!!!!!! Its stupid!!! £30 of it was alcohol! No idea how it came to so much!!! Still, got everything ready and put the gazebo up outside. Then before i knew it people were at the door. Really good laugh, thanks guys if any of you are reading this =] So much food, so much drink, GREAT laugh!
Clearing up this morning however... was not so hot. I dunno why but when my parents were away i was much more motevated to keep the place clean, but when they're around i just can't be bothered. Hmmm oh well. Today has been another lazy day, but its all fun and games eh =] Got a break in that it started raining before i got to the lawn mower. And that leaves me here now having just had a fight with my mother cos i'm not spending every waking second doing bloody revision. Also cos i intend to wear an alice band to school after exams. I'm sorry, but school has got it coming!! Bloody cottam. I do hope she gets hit by a bus, Mr tithead was quite the legend in comparison to this twat. But my mother thinks i should be gracious in defeat. Fuck that. I'm not gracious in ANYTHING. Let along being walked over by that bitch.
I have to be pretty and smart tomorrow, job interview at ASDA, should be pretty cool. Had one there before so i kinda know what i'm gunna get asked, just really want a job. So i can buy equipment and wood and driving lessons and a car and pretty things and i dunno, i know i'd be good at whatever job i set my mind to, even if it was the accursed MaccyD's i'd still rock the line "would you like fries with that?"... might go a bit Yoda... "Fries with that like you would?" oh my, that'd be so cool, if you were a jedi selling on commission... "you want to buy this TV" - "I want to buy this TV". Okay, enough of my ranting for one night. I will not be around tomorrow evening as i'm off partying!!! =D fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun stufffffff =D can't beat a good party. Also got sooo much left over booze you wouldn't believe!!

Just what...
... Are you supposed to do when you find out one of your very best friends has been taking drugs...!?
I am actually at such a total loss. I HATE drugs, so very very very much. And then to hear from this friend that they have been partaking... I dunno... its not really a kick in the teeth cos i don't have a right to feel that way... But i just really don't know what to say, nor what to think, nor ANYTHING! I know they feel they're in a bad place, but thats no reason. AHHHH!!!!
So what do i do?? Do i be all supportive and go "you can get through this" When they don't see it like its a problem? Or do i have a go at them like i really really want to because they are so clever, could go so far, and i don't want to see them throw any of that away :-(
Dammit i feel crap now. I really just don't know what to do or say...
Any advice anyone? I'm sure most of the people reading this will have my e-mail, and if not its sad_sax_man@hotmail.com
See ya later

Pubzz...
... Are amazing places, especially when they think you're 18 =D
This fine day has been pretty good on the whole. Quite a bit's happened too, all good fun.
Woke up at bloody 9.30!!!! Body clock is SERIOUSLY messed up if it wakes me up in AM willingly!! Still, got up and got clean etc etc. But actually have no idea what i did with my morning. I sat down here, and found this Rick Wakeman video on YouTube, and the entire morning just seemed to be a blur from that point on... Oh that was it!! I tested out the new bread maker, tis rrraaattthhheerrr scrummy if i do say so myself *licks lips*
Got picked up at 1.50, to hop off to Crowborough. Not a very interesting place if i'm being perfectly honest. However... It does have the largest saxophone retailers in the whole of the UK based there... So, i was in heaven.. Even though i never actually played a single sax, but i was with Simon so what more could i possibly want?? Oh my, he has THE most sexual new mouthpiece, damn the boy can blow like a pro ;-)
Then it was off to the PUB!!! for lunch. Tasty. I had the Adam special, chips and garlic bread, where everyone else had a "proper" meal. Still, what i don't eat i make up for in terms of drink. Managed to talk the way to getting a jug of Pimms, and after that a pint of stella... So not a good habit to be into at my age i'm sure, but you've gotta have something to limber yourself up before a gig, even if it is one in a church, where the average age must have been upwards of 75... Fun stuff...
Still, the gig was a laugh. Can't say i'm a fan of male voice choirs... But they really did a very good job considering. Of course it was all aided by myself and Simon's rhythmic applause and outstanding falsetto in the sing alongs. All good fun. But not as much so as our epic iPod touch messaging constantly.
Then it was back to my lover's for a bit before time to head back here. Has been a REALLY great day... Just wish it had lasted a while longer. Or we'd gone to the pub after the gig as well as before =P Still, all good things must come to pass.
Unto which i say...
you can all f*** off its time to go home

FAT!!!
Is what i feel right now. Gosh i need to do copious amount of exercise after today's picnic lunch!!! Gem and i, such healthy people, a lunch of chocolate brownies, coke, chocolate, and pringles. For some reason i don't think the frisbee will have burnt off enough calories to equal out all that... Can hope though. Mind you, cycling up the road to get home is ALWAYS a killer, and even after like a week in the sun my sadle was STILL damp!!! WAS NOT AMUSED!!
Come to think of it my day has been rrrraaaatttttthhhhheeeerrrrr effeminate... In quite a few ways *cringes at memory*.
I mean, i woke up at 7 this morning... Not to go for a run or work out or anything manly... No no no. I woke up at 7 to bake chocolate brownies, which, it being so early and all, i managed to cock up a tiny bit. Still they came out okay.
Although i did do something a bit more manly, i stumbled into my garage with an MDF casting mould and a blow torch, melted some pewter and cast a couple of treble clefs. Managed to finish off one pretty much before it was time to go to the park. It was a bit like "what can i do? i'm bored..." a normal person might have, oh i don't know, put on a DVD or something, but not i, off to the garage. To BURN things till they melt .
Park was brilliant fun, although Monica FORGOT, silly girl... The fact she was actually in Dartford and still managed to forget is really quite impressive. So was just Gem and myself again. Still great fun, played frisbee and had a handstand competition, which involved me half killing myself =D gotta love it. I'll tell you something... When you're playing frisbee in a park, and you're wearing a girls size 8 or something shirt, and then your friend is wearing a large man's shirt when she's a she... You don't half get some weird looks. Still, be grateful i didn't stoop to wearing the skirt... I couldn't though, i mean, where do girls keep all of the hardware!?!?!? Pen knife(s), lighter, kazoo, keys, wallet, hair brush, paper pad, pencil... All that kinda stuff i managed to fit in one pair of combat trousers. Forget needing a handbag, practical trousers is the way forward. I can be such a guy sometimes.
After we left the park at about half 5 and had our little race to the traffic lights it was back home to catch a bit of top gear and more importantly, a shower! A well earned one at that too. And guess what happened then... Back to the garage, finished off the second treble clef. So i have Nina's VERYVERYVERYVERYVERY late birthday present finished, and a random present for Monica cos i think what i gave her for her birthday was a bit stingy.
Off to "sunny" London tomorrow with Justin, Kit, Alicia, and Bryony to do some film screen test shots and stuff like that. Should be a bit of a laugh, even if i do hate London was a passion... Its like you get there and can feel all the carcinogens sticking to your throat. And its so bloody expensive!! =[ Not a London fan, i'm definitely more of a nature boy type person. In fact if there hadn't have been guk all over my camera lense there would have been an awesome picture of me halfway up a tree lounging backwards wearing a girl's white shirt. Its all good fun isn't it =P Anyway, at this point i shall sayyy... Catch up with my, possibly a grand total of three, faithful readers on the morrow.

Come to think of it my day has been rrrraaaatttttthhhhheeeerrrrr effeminate... In quite a few ways *cringes at memory*.
I mean, i woke up at 7 this morning... Not to go for a run or work out or anything manly... No no no. I woke up at 7 to bake chocolate brownies, which, it being so early and all, i managed to cock up a tiny bit. Still they came out okay.
Although i did do something a bit more manly, i stumbled into my garage with an MDF casting mould and a blow torch, melted some pewter and cast a couple of treble clefs. Managed to finish off one pretty much before it was time to go to the park. It was a bit like "what can i do? i'm bored..." a normal person might have, oh i don't know, put on a DVD or something, but not i, off to the garage. To BURN things till they melt .
Park was brilliant fun, although Monica FORGOT, silly girl... The fact she was actually in Dartford and still managed to forget is really quite impressive. So was just Gem and myself again. Still great fun, played frisbee and had a handstand competition, which involved me half killing myself =D gotta love it. I'll tell you something... When you're playing frisbee in a park, and you're wearing a girls size 8 or something shirt, and then your friend is wearing a large man's shirt when she's a she... You don't half get some weird looks. Still, be grateful i didn't stoop to wearing the skirt... I couldn't though, i mean, where do girls keep all of the hardware!?!?!? Pen knife(s), lighter, kazoo, keys, wallet, hair brush, paper pad, pencil... All that kinda stuff i managed to fit in one pair of combat trousers. Forget needing a handbag, practical trousers is the way forward. I can be such a guy sometimes.
After we left the park at about half 5 and had our little race to the traffic lights it was back home to catch a bit of top gear and more importantly, a shower! A well earned one at that too.

I think...
... I've done more work today that I actually did yesterday. Even with the insane amount of examage.
Had Beth and Jenny over and we plunged into the murky depths of "biology". Its quite fun, but does get a bit dry and seeing as we were working from 10.30 it was a bit much for my poor brain to handle at such an evil hour in the morning. Well, the very fact it was actually morning is enough given i wasn't asleep at any time before 3 and my alarm went off at 8 as i had to make myself "beautiful"... ish... kinda thing...
Needless to say by 12.30 i was thoroughly bored out of my skull and asked if we could go get lunch like a school boy from the shop. To which a certain Miss Hedges replied "not till ten too". ITS MY HOUSE!!! As it was she then moved it to one anyways. was not impressed. Although lunch was great fun, walked to the shop and had the most unhealthy lunch EVER! out on the grass opposite. Was great fun though. Even if Beth did try and steal my stuff ¬_¬
What else is new... hmmm... oh yeah! I AM THE OWNER OF A LATHE =D!!!!!!!!! Actually so happy about that Mr Collins, the most legendary man i think in existance after this one! He's got a lathe that he doesn't want and is just like "when can i drop it off?" L-E-G-E-N-D!!!! So as soon as i've taken that baby to pieces and got it running like the sexy beast it has the potential to be watch out world, and watch out friends, cos you're gunna have candle holders and i dunno what else yet for every event =D sounds, to quote Monica and Daisy, "amezzin". Although... even though the lathe is free gunna have to get myself some pretty sexual tools to go along with it, which will cost a BOMB! But won't half be worth it!
Ahh, i do love entertaining people, its just so much fun!!! Can't wait till i can have a few people over in half term, cos its BBQ season baby =D Pimms o'clock!!
And of course the other wonders that come with people, drink, crudites, pringles, and ffffffuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn =D
This still seems a touch on the short side after reading David's epic story about his english exam, which is a point, don't forget to check out the blogs of the rest of the NS crew, even if none of them are as loyal to the idea as myself, haha. Basically meaning i'm the only one who has NOTHING better to be doing with his time. Justin, David and Tim all have partners, and Ben's probably learning ANOTHER language, I think he's onto Zulu...
Erm... Deanna is officially AMAZING for being my first commenter =P
Picnic tomorrow, should be really really good fun as the last one was, more frisbee and brownies and great stuff like that. And maybe more than just Gem and myself =O! fun as it was last time with it just being the two of us. Although the plan is to be really really posh =] Well... i say really posh, what i mean is we're both wearing shirts. And having a waterfight =D
May the force be with you (it seems to be a star wars themed week...)

My Brain Hurts!!!!
... Actually does, seems to me I have a platoon of foot soldiers wearing lead boots stomping a tatoo into my skull. Still, thats probably just de-hydration or some such jazz.
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!
6 exams in 2 days AND I DID IT!!!
Treating myself to a "go me" beer, well earned I feel after the last two days. As if it wasn't enough i agreed to help my tech teacher with this primary school thing she does. WHY!? I HATE KIDS!!!! They're all so obnoxious its insane!! Thinking the smallest thing makes them the bee's knees. I'm certain i was no better, in fact i was probably worse... but still, AHHHH!
Not much else has been up today, and yer, the whole brain melting thing. I will try and remember to check back in on the morrow, although don't expect me to be particularly coherent after 2 hours with annoying small children ¬_¬
Make love not breakfast (lets face it, much better way to start the day =])

Sorry...
...For not keeping up to date with all this since Saturday. Hectic life and all that jazz. So the next two days shit does hit the proverbial fan, with 7 1/2 hours of exams between now and 4pm tomorrow afternoon. Fun eh? Well, its all in the name of education. Whats scary is thinking "oh yer, resistant materials, I'm good at that..." and then looking at a test and paper and thinking "might need to do a little revision of this..." by which i do of course mean AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! =]
Bit of a job hunt on Saturday, was pretty good fun cos it may also have ended up as Laur, Louisa and myself going to see "What happens in Vegas" Really fun day out, even if Louisa isn't all that cool... hehe =P
Ahhhh, picked up my geography text book earlier as I have that exam tomorrow and am also an iota worried about it... Its great, its still in mint condition cos I've only actually taken it into school like once all year. Of course that's probably quite an ominous sign when it comes to thinking about how much work I've actually done all year. Especially with that wretched woman as my teacher ¬_¬ Yer, miss, if you ever happen to read this LEARN TO TEACH!!! (Gosh, I'm such a delight aren't i?)
10 exams left... Talking to other people i know they're just like "oh yer, down to my final two" oh how i envy them, still, serves me right for taking such silly subjects does it not? Tonight is going to be a great laugh, basically I've started a new exercise thingy, and every other week i increase the number of things that i do. And tonight it goes up, and it will be an absolute killer... see me in my exam tomorrow barely able to lift my pencil or something silly.
Gosh i am way too easily distracted! I REALLY should be sat here doing revision for my exams and instead I'm writing my blog... All fun and games eh peeps? You know what would REALLY make my day? someone leaving a comment? maybe? and you know, that probs wouldn't make my day, but would add a little interest. To make my day you'd have to come up to me and hand me a sheet of paper which only i can see and has all the answers for my next exams on it, that would be AMAZING =D

Whooops...
... Completely forgot to make another entry last night. Well, I say blame A) school, and B) Gem.
Was up like mega early to go hand in some work and it was being sent off the same day, so y'know, no panic at all!!! Did all that jazz and got home about half 9. My parents are back so I couldn't do anything without being told to go and tidy up or something like that. Grrrr, the house was a LOT tidier before they came back!! But they are like SUPER in my good books!! They've said if i get a lathe that they'll build me a shed for it!!!! Okay, I'm certain some of you (well, that's under the assumption that someone is actually reading this...) are thinking why the hell would i want a lathe, or what it actually is. Its a spinney thing for turning wood into spindles... Think the shafts on your banister if they're wooden.
Then about quarter to 12 I looked like a right wally cycling into dartford... With a red and white stripey umbrella tucked under my arm. One day I'm sure I'm going to get knocked down racing cars along Heath Lane (hill in Dartford). Still, all fun and games. Got to town and went and had a picnic... Under a tree cos blimey it didn't half start raining!! Also felt especially cool cos there were only two of us, Gem and I cos people either weren't off school, couldn't be bothered cos of the weather, had their maths exam, or were busy having mental breakdowns. Still great fun though.
Got to dos around for a while in the evening, have one of my epic showers and stuff. Then decided to go and see a play which my friends were in and Gem coerced me into going to see. Was actually a surprisingly good night out... When i could keep my eyes open. Play was called "Once A Catholic" I'm not exactly what you'd call the most religious of people, but even i found it good... all be it because there was a nun with tourettes... I'm mature...
Then yer got back and was so knackered I completely forgot about writing it all up. So that was yesterday. It was good.
OOOHHH!!!! Biggest point of all!!!! I GOT AN A!!!! For my tech folder!! =D
Peace and love
Adam

The Muse...
Are most definitely a band I think this world would do very well without!!!
An ode to tractors:
I woke up one morning,
The sky was a grey,
My poor little tractor,
Is towing that hay.
I said ooooooooooh why,
Has it come to this?
My poor little tractor,
You're not meant for this.
I woke up next morning,
The combine gave a start.
Damn things really edgy,
It just breaks my heart!
I said ooooooooooh why,
Won't you cut the crop?
Then once I got it started,
It just wouldn't stop.
No hay in the shed
My cockerel's dead
My sheep have no wool
My donkey won't pull
No eggs in the barn
No dogs in the yard
And the bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuues, they are iiiiiiiiiinnnnn my soul
You know what... That is about 10 minutes of my life I'm never gunna get back!!! That's just not fair! Why did I do this? i could have been sleeping dammit!!
I need to find some better inspiration than the Wurzels... and thoughts anyone? Drop me a comment so I might actually have a clue that someone, somwhere reads these things.
Night all

Today
Has been loads better!!
I got up to have Alex abusing me on the phone, but that was actually quite funny, then had to hot foot it to school to give some work in, only to be told I had another 24 hours!!
Hung around there for a while before thinking "oh yer, i have an exam i should go revise for" and by some miracle NONE of the stuff i actually revised was actually in the damn thing!!! But I'm pretty sure it didn't go too bad. Ahhh, and that's all my exams out of the way for this week. 2 down only another 10 to go, I swear I have way more than anyone else I know!!! Ahh well, mustn't complain =]
I've decided I'm spending way too much out in my garden with a staff and sword as of late... I might be worrying the neighbours a bit I suspect. All in the name of a film I guess, I just hope that by some chance i survive the thing without something going horribly wrong in one of the scenes where I've said "ooh!! can i do *enter insane type thing here*" Still thinking, why am i not getting paid for this??
So yer, that's pretty much today in a nut shell, its been MUCH better than yesterday. The only bad thing i can think is that i have to be up early tomorrow... Gotta have masses of work of my teachers desk at like 8am!! I haven't seen 8 am in about 3 months!!! Well.. tell a lie, I've pulled a couple of all nighters but still!
If i ever finish this tech then i might post a "go me" poem on here... I can feel the muse starting to take hold meaning that a terrible atrocity of literature is en route.
Toodle pip =]

Today was...
Not so sexy...
Woke up, finished off the coursework I needed to finish before my biology exam, Justin came round, we had fun with the sword for a while =D
Went off to do my exam. It went passably (I hope), although I've discovered if ever i walk out of an exam happy I have done amazingly badly. Ominous. Now, I'm sure the more sharp of you are thinking "so whats so bad about that?" no? oh, just me then.
Day takes a turn for a worse when your tech teacher catches you straight after said exam and says "come see me, URGENTLY" Being the good little geek I am, I do go follow to be given the delightful bombshell that..........
My coursework folder is a D.
And no one decided to tell me this BEFORE the final deadline because....?
Not so good for a person that wants to go to uni to do a similar course eh? So that ones gunna be a summer project and I'll re-submit it next year. Major annoyance though cos every uni will be like "so, you're applying for this tech course.... with a D..." Not too promising really is it?
On the plus i got to abuse Justin with a fly swat earlier, always good for a laugh... I may have accidentally ever so slightly missed his body and kinda abused his "man" parts. Which led to quite a fun game of "hide or be pummeled into oblivion" till his mother came to collect him.
Have my first geography exam tomorrow afternoon. That should be a hoot I'm sure. Lots of lovely statistical analysis... Anyone fancy sitting it for me?? Eurgh, I feel totally shot, still after tomorrow no more exams till Monday so I can have a few late mornings and even later evenings before, if you'll pardon my crudeness, shit hits the fan.
Keep it real homies

Prop number 1
Well, wouldn't you know our first prop arrived today =D
A nice 38.5 inch rapier, i'm sure i will get to enjoy Nina accidently stabbing me with it at some point in the not so distant future... joy...
In other news...
Study leave is dull and i've only been off one day. Someone should have a get together... HINT HINT!! Even though i actually haven't done ANY of the work i need to have done before my biology exam on the morrow. Ahh well. I have more important things to do.. Like run around in my garden weilding a sword, hehehe.
Gosh, i'm scared. My parents are away, yet the house isn't on fire or a total tip, aside from my desk which is covered in paper and my beast of a text book, all fun and games. Is 3pm too early to start drinking?
Good, thought not.
Catch up with you guys later

New Firsts...
I've never had a blog before, i reckon this could be quite fun, getting my musings down on paper... well... virtual paper.
So erm, yeah... I'm Adam =]
How do you do?
Trying to think of a way to describe myself that won't make people think I'm either gagging for attention or a complete freak...
I think all of us at Nonstandard have our own quirks so to speak, I certainly wouldn't describe any of us as "normal". But then again... Where's the fun in that!?
Okay, I'm something of a geek in most senses. I adore playing piano and saxophone... In fact there's something stupid like about £5000 worth of instruments in my possession. Then at the start of this year I did a bit of a weird turn and stopped being captivated so much by music, but more by design technology subjects focusing mainly around carpentry and turnery... Now, how many people can say that one? =O slow down boy this is almost original!!!
How long do these things usually go on for??
Well, as its my first i'll make it short and sweet, and if you so desire (and dare i say it...) watch this space for more of my thoughts and antics if you really want to.
Hope you've enjoyed reading

I think all of us at Nonstandard have our own quirks so to speak, I certainly wouldn't describe any of us as "normal". But then again... Where's the fun in that!?
Okay, I'm something of a geek in most senses. I adore playing piano and saxophone... In fact there's something stupid like about £5000 worth of instruments in my possession. Then at the start of this year I did a bit of a weird turn and stopped being captivated so much by music, but more by design technology subjects focusing mainly around carpentry and turnery... Now, how many people can say that one? =O slow down boy this is almost original!!!
How long do these things usually go on for??
Well, as its my first i'll make it short and sweet, and if you so desire (and dare i say it...) watch this space for more of my thoughts and antics if you really want to.
Hope you've enjoyed reading
Adam
