So it appears a great deal of time has past since my last update. Why such a long time? Due to the emotional drain of the last two posts? Well I'd love to say that but no... I have been dazzled because Leyland library has swish new computers which not only have accessible USB ports but also MSN!!! As such I spend the majority of my two hours alloted time pretending that I am still at uni, lol. So on to a brief update of the fun I have had since being at home...
On Tuesday there was a grand trip de verbassen to Manchester with Sarah Small, Lizzi, Ruth and Matt R (a Warwicker). I had met Matt at Toni Hallettfish's Disney birthday party in which he was playing a very accurate pirate - if only due to slight drunkeness :-p So after much traipsing around, Lizzi and I evoked the honoured tradition of hat-trying-on. There were some fabulous ones, including a fetching pair of spotty hats in Urban Outfitters as sported by Lizzi and Matt (see photographs uploaded to Facebook). After Sarah Small and Ruth departed, Lizzi, Matt and myself went into H&M and carried on the most amazing tradition - buying reduced hats! Now most of my hats have come from this tradition...the classic Oasis hats which me and Lizzi bought in the sales and upon spying Toni with her Mum, snuck up behind her and put the hat on her head before running away - good times :-D This time, as Toni is rudely in Newquay, we purchased two train workers hats for 99p for ourselves and maybe a rather smexy hat for the Toni...lol. So following this adventure and fabulous purchases we slunk back to Leyland where we were joined by Shona (another Warwicker) and thus went to the Roebuck in Leyland then back to Lizzi's for scary films. People who know me, will have muchos experience of how well I cope with such films, but apparently Saw III was the thing to be watching - so we rented the extended, extra gore and blood and general loveliness edition. I was sickened especially the bit with the pigs *shudders at memory*
Then on Sunday, it was time for another trip to a Leyland pub - this time the Eagle and Child - famed for its cheapness. Helen J and her boyfriend Jack, Charlene and her boyfriend Harry, Lizzi, Ruth and me all slinked into the pub, where, due to financial constraints, I had 48p Lime and Lemonade. We took part in the pub quiz (which was most importantly free) which was a bingo/quiz hybrid. After some rather spectacular quotes from certain group members *looks at Charlene* there was a distinct feeling from the rest of the pub (mainly old men) that we didn't stand a chance. However the power of 7 people, most of whom are at University was not to be underestimated! Collectively sharing answers we ended up with all three prizes (a free bottle of wine, £10 meal voucher and 4 free pints) which were shared between us all.
Today we were meant to be slinking to Lyme Park (infamous for the Darcy lake scene in Pride and Prejudice) but unfortunately this temperamental weather *hears much thunder and rain outside* *is distressed because is wearing knee length skirt and vest top* Which reminds me of a minor point of irritation this week. St Andrew's C of E church in Leyland, master of those religious posters which are there to inspire/frighten people. Well it now displays one which says "Weird Weather - time to ask big questions?" Now I don't mean this as a rant against religion, honest, but wtf?! I saw this and was reminded of the words of The (Arch?)Bishop of Carlise who declared the flooding in the North East was due to heathens who weren't following the Christian way of life. Now I don't claim to have a great understanding of meteorology but I'm a bit unsure about any correlation between non-Christian life practices and the combination of high and low pressure which causes such weather, lol. It just baffles me...
But this was not a post based solely on updating people with my week and a minor rant. I have an actual point, honest. The generic text message. Now when I rant about these I am not referring to the mass messages which are sent to groups when organising events or at certain times of the year like Christmas or New Year. Like the following message from Chris-pea:
Happy Christmas!hope ur avin a lovely day and santa brought u evryfin u wntd! :-) love chris x x x
Neither is this against text which make you feel good just when they are sent like the following ones sent to me from Shivs:
This is MAGIC!! Press down 12 times and U'll become SEXY! Sweetheart U dont NEED Magic - girls like us were BORN sexy x
Those ones make me smile and I am more than happy to send them on to my fabulous friends who also don't need magic :-p I also got one from Becky which is along more male bashing lines but also muchos smile worthy.
The ones I have an issue with are the ones were you have to text back to feel good. Now there is one of my friends who is a key culprit for sending these sort of messages and he *cough* Mitchell *cough* knows who he is. Now these messages initially make me smile but then the end bit is usually along the lines of "if you get 5 back ur loved" or the like. Thus in conclusion these texts aren't an independent feel good and its only because I pity the sender (:-p) that I replied to the last one although stating that it was clearly an ego boost - I am a good friend, non? Well at least an occasionally witty one.
Anyways I'm off into the weird weather - I may or may not be smited on my travels by an angry deity... x x x
