Helloooo.

So the day after my birthday I visited Benjamin who had bought me a small mountain of gifts (he probably would have been beaten up otherwise) including; a Raving Rabbids figuring dressed up in an Assassin’s Creed cloak, an actual Assassin’s Creed figurine of Altair (babe!), a t-shirt that says ‘Screw the rules, I have money’ (If anyone watches YGOTAS they’d understand this reference), another t-shirt of Pedobear as seen to the right (hello fattyface). Underneath pedobear the caption reads ‘Calm Down! You’re frightening the children….away’, and finally my big present was the Black Adder box set. I love Black Adder, it’s probably one of my favouritest comedies so I was thrilled with this.

Thursday morning I went into Uni to collect my portfolio as assessment was over, and somehow my friends and I were duped into doing painting… something we weren’t supposed to do until Friday. This pissed me off, as I had no warning meaning I was wearing nice clothes etc. Luckily, I didn’t get any paint on myself, and once painting was done, suffice to say I left VERY quickly. This, however, didn’t piss me off as much as a 8ft presentation board collapsing on me. I was happily minding my own business, when I hear Toni scream, and before I had a chance to do anything, I feel this massive weight on my shoulder. GOOD ONE, NUCA. My tutor didn’t even bother to ask if I was okay. I’m pretty sure if he’d have acted more concerned if I threatened to sue them due to poor health and safety. :U Burn.

Bugger me, I’m so bored. Postal 2 for some reason won’t boot up, all my other games I’ve either completed or I’m tired of, and The Sims 3 don’t come out until next week. Not having the panic of assessment has left me with nothing to do. I think after I’ve written this entry I may share some of my uni work, since I rarely ever do that. I might even start sorting through all my stuff in preparations for moving out next month. Can’t believe it’s only 4 weeks to go now!

Happy 20th Birthday to meeeeee~~

So far the day has been eventful. I had to be up early this morning so I opened my presents at midnight. Amongst the gifts were money, perfume, girly things etc. And the ‘big’ present was a Zen X-Fi which I am chuffed to bits with. My dad had already charged it, stuck on some Pure Reason Revolution and a video so it was ready to go, and it’s awesome. I was up at 7:30 this morning to get into the city for a ‘makeover’ (something which was clearly needed), it was nice but it needed my false eyelashes which were promptly stuck on when I got home after a liquid lunch with Butty. A very, VERY liquid lunch. I came home half cut, which was excellent.

In other news, my end of year uni assessment was on Thursday, with a bit of luck I have passed and made it to 2nd year, although I’m still at uni until the end of June. I broke my toe a fortnight ago by tripping over a uni book (seriously that place is out to get me) and I am completely obsessed with Girls Aloud currently. Do I need a life? I think so.

Dear Russian/Viagra promoting spammers, why oh why, do you only ever comment one post? It’s not even a particularly juicy one.

Let me see… new news…

Well, as expected I have changed my hair again. I dyed it chocolate brown for Pure Reason Revolution last month to disguise the digsuting roots I had, but it didn’t look as nice as I’d hoped and had what I thought was a slight green tinge to it. Sewer rat green strikes again. Luckily, it was only semi permenant, and whilst it faded it never faded completely, leaving me with a honey blonde colour. Since then I’ve dyed it red, as pictured on the left. I really love how it looked, sadly in the 2 weeks I’ve had it, it’s pretty much faded to nothing but brown which saddens me greatly, but I do think I’ll keep it red for a while, much to my hairdressers disbelief.

Uni is, or at least going to be horrendously insane from now until the end of May, basically. I think I’m juggling around 6 projects (probably not something I should admit to, and on the off-chance that one of my tutors are reading; I FINISHED MY PROJECTS OVER EASTER. PROMISE.), plus an essay, plus preparing for assessment & a baby degree show… before our stuff is taken down in favour of the 3rd years. And literally as soon as I finish uni this term, I move out. Stresssss. I really need to pull my thumb out and do some work, but of course I am avoiding doing anything of the sort and making life incredibly difficult for myself by leaving it until last minute so that I can panic and pull an all nighter and somehow just manage to get everything done, vowing to never make the same mistakes again. I never learn.

Considering I have absolutely no money whatsoever, I was naughty and treated myself to a top today. I was devestated to see in Dorothy Perkins they had sold out of a top in my size which I just knew would have looked great on me. But fear not, after scouring clothing stores with a fine toothed comb, I have found one pretty much identical. Spending money I don’t have = bad, but that top = very good. I think I’ll wear it when I go see Pure Reason Revolution next week. Yes. AGAIN. They’re probably fed up of seeing me at their gigs by now. Ha.

Right, time to do uni work. I guess. D:

EDIT: I forgot to mention that despite the stress, I am remaining positively uplifted by Courage Wolf. No, really.

So last Saturday when I was in Blackpool (and Manchester for a week… No doubt I was missed something terrible) I had my palm read. This is what the woman said to me…

Firstly, she asked me to hold a giant crystal and to make a wish. I was kinda crapping myself as I had visions of her being able to tell what I wished for and thinking “ha, loser.” but when I was finished she took the crystal away from me and said she hopes my wish comes true.

She took a look at my (left, since that’s the one I use most) hand, and the first thing she said was “You worry and stress a lot, don’t you?” to which I said yes, and she said she could tell that I worry about things a lot, perhaps too excessively, and that I should try to relax. I was then told that I will never die through diseases such as cancer, haemorrhage etc. And I will never become crippled (I almost lol’d at this) or have any bad falls etc. that will result in permenant injury. She then asked me if anyone in my family had diabetes. I gave her a look and said “Yeah, my mum has type 2.”, to which she replied “I’m sorry but at looks as if you’ll inherit it from her, but only mildly, round about the time your mother was diagnosed with it.” So I’m going to suffer from DIABEETUS TYPE 2 from about 50 onwards. O JOY.

My life line is very strong; and I will live well into my 80’s, maybe even into my 90’s. I will always be fortunate enough to have work/an income to support myself and will always find work for myself. I will travel around, but I will always remain close to him. By this she meant I will probably never imigrate. Which is quite true actually, no other country could put up with the amount of moaning I do like Britain does.

I will marry once, with no divorces, around my late 20’s/early 30’s to somebody I already know and we will have 3 children, all close to each other in age. This surprised me as that’s actually what I want, I do want 3 children (God knows why) and I want them to be similar in age so they can all grow up together. Spooky.

I think that’s everything, but will edit accordingly if I remember anything

I am considering getting a Twitter. I probably will. http://twitter.com/JemiJemi

I am worried sick.

I would give anything to be the girl in the song “Then I Kissed Her.”

So on Friday (March 6th), my favourite band, Pure Reason Revolution (right) came to Norwich as part of their tour to promote their forthcoming album Amor Vincit Omnia.

….Omgomgomgomgomg it was awesome. Let’s get the setlist out of the way first before I forget it:

Les Malheurs
Apogee
Deus Ex Machina
The Bright Ambassadors of Morning
Victorious Cupid
The Twycyn/Trembling Willows
The Gloaming
AVO
—Encore—
Voices in Winter/In the Realms of the Divine
Arrival/The Intention Craft

…Referencing back to this post, when I saw them in November… the setlist was actually virtually the same. Except for no In Aurélia and Borgens Vor… both of which I’d put in my top 5 PRR songs BUT they did play AVO… so it’s swings and roundabouts really.

Before the gig I picked up 2 copies of AVO digipack edition, as they were giving away limited edition copies of the Deus Ex Machina single which is actually a download-only single and so only 25 were being given away per show, so I grabbed them whilst I could, downed some Pimms at the bar and to the stage area I went…

The first support band, My Visor, wasn’t to my taste at all. I heard their music before the show and frankly wasn’t looking forward to it, but granted they were better live, and they had a bloody good drummer. The second support band, The Lost Levels were much better. I’d consider seeing them again, definitely.

PRR then began to set up, and Ben (who came with me) embarassed me no end for reasons I won’t mention here, and then they were on their way, and played a cracking set! Considering they are a band plagued with hitches during live shows, their set was played flawlessly and the band seemed to be relaxed, very smily and looked genuinely happy to be playing (it’s because I was there, obviously).

I loved the show, and obxiously sang all the words, gyrated in a more than likely inappropriate manner and was basically far too over enthusiastic to be there. In fact, somebody approached me after the gig and was all “I saw you singing ALL the words… how can you know them all?!” I didn’t realise that I was that much of a loser for knowing them all, haha. Perhaps I can request a place as Chloe’s understudy, haha.

After the gig I bought myself a t-shirt and a poster (meaning I spent a grand total of £41 on merchandise that night) and as I was putting my merchandise in my bag… the band came out! So I thought I’ll make tonight even more special and get my mountain of merchandise signed!

I spoke to Paul first, who, as usual was very nice and chatty, next Jamie signed my stuff, he was a guy of very few words but he had a blingin’ silver pen and people were wanting to chat to him, so I’ll let him off for that one. Next…. Jon…  he was more than happy to sign my stuff and whilst doing so I told him I loved the gig and was great having them in Norwich to which he thanked me and was very smiley, unfortunately I didn’t get to speak to him much more as loads of people, again understandably were wanting to chat with him as well. Finally, I waited patiently whilst people wrapped up chatting to Chloe and then she very graciously signed my stuff and was very warm and chatty.. and even remembered me (first and last name too!) from a previous encounter, which I was very impressed by! I kind of failed as I didn’t know what to say to any of them really apart from OMGZZZZ YOU’RE MAH FAVRITE BAND!!!!!!1111111111111111111 but they were lovely and this gig was by far superior to Cargo.

Best gig I’ve been to? I think so!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go learn the lyrics off by heart to Amor Vincit Omnia…

♥: Busy
♪: Pure Reason Revolution – Les Malheurs

I feel lonely. More so than usual the past few days, but this isn’t anything unusual really. It comes and goes in waves. It’s just that the tide is… in. I think I need to think of a better description.

With that said, the house things are (touch wood) sorting themselves out and in theory, everything should be done and dusted by the end of this week, and then it’s a case of sorting through all of my stuff, packing up and moving out when we get the keys in July. The closer it gets, the more daunting it becomes.

Still, it’s not all frowns. I have PRR on Friday. Whilst I am excited, due to a lot of circumstances, I’m not as excited as I could be. But theres nothing I can do about that, and all I can ask for is to enjoy myself as much as I possibly can whilst being serenaded by a bloody brilliant band.

I have a really busy week this week; I plan to throw myself into my work, and also buy myself a notebook from Paperchase. Expensive, and probably not worth it, but it is, really.

My monitor is on the blink, and is becoming the epitome of my anger and frustration. My dad has finally recognised that it’s a bastard and will look into replacing it. I’m hoping I can get this monitor:

Mmmm, sexy.
