Well non-existance followers, as you can tell, I am still on the internet, and therefore still in Lincoln. As my previous blog said, I was meant to be back in Oxfordshire weekend just gone, but plans changed when I got offered some work experience this weekend to come!
And you know what today is? A week until my birthday. It's scary at how fast it is coming. I am quickly heading towards the tunnel of leaving my teen years, and I never realised turning twenty would seem like a scary thought and age to me.
Anywho, I went to the cinema tonight, to see Night at the Museum 2, and it was bitchin. Loved it, and pretty good for a sequal film. Had a good giggle with my housemates anyway when we went to see it.
But yeah, thats the most of what I have to say. Look out on youtube for some upcoming vids I'll be uploading soon.
Sorry, short blog, just a quick update really. Not much happening...yet.

Almost Third Year Student!!
It's been a very full-filling year, my second year at university. A lot has gone on, I know I've definately put more effort into this one in terms of my work ect, and now third year awaits me. Graduating year. This time next year I will be finishing University for good. This time next year I will be doing my best to search for a job. Scary stuff. Student loans gone (well, 'cept for paying my loan back!), mortages, bills etc here I come! Argh, why can't I be a student forever? LOL.
I am going back to my hometown at the weekend - where I will be out of internet! Argh! So don't know how I am going to cope with that! I am going to have to beg my mum to get internet! At the moment though, I seem to be doing my best to avoid packing my room, ready to be picked up at the weekend. My room is a tip and I need a big sort out in crap I don't need! I have to decide what stuff to keep in Lincoln and what stuff to take back home, just too much to do in the space of a few days!
This weekend just gone, I was in Yorkshire on a photography work experience, taking photos of Landrovers who were on a off-road experience, and I would take photos of them splashing into mud, it was great fun, I had some photos on my digital camera which I was going to put up on here, but unfortunately on a birthday night out with one of my best friends, I re-formatted my camera, not realising that it deletes my photos in the process! Which is really frustrating as I had some nice photos with my dad on a day out in Skegness too! Never mind....I'll get hold of copies of my work somehow.
Then there is my youtube work - I am so behind, and I know there is no-way I am going to get majority of what I want done, done by the time I have no access to internet. The second part of my 'Deception' video, completing my John Locke 'omg I can't believe it' as well as other projects I've yet to start.
I don't start third year to the end of September, so I have a long summer ahead, and a couple of things in this summer to look forward to. Midnight walk in June, LOST convention in August and a holiday in the Lake District early September. In between all these events I need to find paid work and plenty of work experience to contribute to my experienced in the media as well as looking flashy on my CV.
Next year at university I am studying single camera, so hopefully this means I can display more regular work I do at uni online on youtube. If my vids are good enough! Hehe.
Fal out xx

Banbury Rambles.
As nice as it has been being back home in Shenny and at my Dads in Banbury - yes, I said it, nice being in Banbury, I must be mad, but if I am with my Dad, I don't care where I am.
But at the same time, I am missing Lincoln loads, for many reasons. For starters, I came home to find my mum had perchased two new additions to the family. Granville and Dillon. A cockateil and budgie, and they are an absolute nightmare. Of course, I knew my mother had already got them before I came home for the Easter holidays, she was the one who informed me that I would be great at training them to be more tame. But seriously, I've never had such a difficult time!
For starters, Granville, the main birdie I am training, it took me a couple of days to get used to the fact that he bites, but not only that, that his bites don't actually hurt. After that, I keep giving him my finger to step onto, but he keeps running away from me! Even when I try just to stroke him, he runs away. I swear, it is impossible to train him! The budgie is even worse, you can't even get close, he is even too timid to bite.
Next big annoyance since being back home is the incredible difficulty I've had getting access to the internet. My neighbour normally allows me access through my wall, but I can't get any signal due to his progress in renivating his house. My mum has no internet, and the internet at my grandparents is kaput. The only time I can get onto the internet is when I am at my Dads, like now. Even then, the internet is dicey. So thats one of my main reasons for missing Lincoln, because of how amazingly tollerent my internet is, and how I don't get woken up by my mum every morning instead of letting my lie in just cuz she has to go to work and wants me to do a ton of housework, which is fair enough as I am staying rent free, but at least give me lie ins while I still can!
I am also getting stressed at how close end of uni year it is getting. I have tons of assignments and live assessments to prepare for, which I know I can get done, but end of year means summer, and I don't want there to be a summer, I want to skip to September so I can start third year, even though it is scaring me that this time next year I will be about graduating around about now. Scary thought.
Other things are on my mind too. Like my Doctor [code word btw, if you are my close friend you'd know who I meant). I miss him terribly, and as much as I love him, I hate him too, hate what he has done to me, and wish I didn't feel this way anymore, because I am sick of it, and seeing things everyday that I'd rather not doesn't help. What is worse, that if the situation ever arose that could go the way I would want, I'd have to refuse, because I don't want to settle for being picked second best, and it pains me that I think this way, yet, I know there is some sense to it, and feel it is the right way to go about things. Ugh, why does life have to be so complicated?
What I have enjoyed so far of being back home is the dog walking in the hot weather, being in town browsing the shops and bumping into old friends that I had planned on having big catch ups on. Its been nice catching up with my family too, and finally getting access to the internet, even if it doesn't always work and I can't get my youtube videos uploaded. But oh well, I guess I'll have to cope.
Something else that hasn't gone to plan is trying to loose weight over the Easter holidays. I was planning on being really good and hope to shift some for when I go back to Lincoln, but no luck. Summer I plan big time to get fit for when I start third year, maybe then some nice guys will actually NOTICE me, as not much of that seems to be going on now for some reason I cannot decifer. Anyway, am out as it is quite late now, and I am quite tired. Night folks!

Show Me the Way to go Home!
Easter holidays are finally here, and I get to go home for two weeks. I am now jobless and have lost my source of income due to me quitting my part time waitressing job at ASK, but it needed to happen, as next year accomdation is really pricy, and I need a job for over the summmer that is going to pay more then £4.35 an hour despite including tips or not.
After being used to paying between the price of £65 - £73 a week for accomodation, bearing in mind that in first year you had to pay extra for laundry as we had a laundry room, not our own laundry machines compared to when living in a house with washing machine and dryer, and for third year going back to the accomdation...
AND OMG RICHARD FROM LOST IS ON SCRUBS!!!
...sorry, got distracted. But yeah, next years accomodation is gunna be costing me £82 quid a week, and on top of that I am having to pay each time I use the laundry, hence I need a better paying job! Already got 300 quid saved for the 3,000 and something for the year. Then I'll use whatever I get spare from my next loan installment after Easter hols.
Anywho, I am distracting myself by being on here instead of tidying my room in time for when my mum's partner picks me up to give me a lift home. Should really stop. Should really really stop...like now, yeah. I really should just...go... :D

Projects & Stuff
Wow, been a while since I've been on here, but I've had much difficulty trying to sign back on with forgetfulness of login details and what-not.
Anywho, much has been going on! Second year of uni is very demmanding with work load and I've been working very hard to achieve good grades this year - and actually been sucessful! Yay!
Anyway, busy busy busy! With my love for youtube and vidding, I've been busy making vids and uploading them. Some fanvids of Doctor Who, LOST and Torchwood. Check them out and click on my youtube link in the sidebar which will take you to my account. There are also some of my vlogs there too if you care to check them out :) More projects on the way too!
Also, new aim. To post up on here more frequently.
Am working on a new story. It's also kinda related to real life events. It's a love story, and as I write each chapter, I'll be posting it on my live journal, so check it out!

My Best Friends Birthday
It is my best friends birthday. Officially today. But I was meant to write this earlier, cept I couldn't get logged on and I was busy most of the day.
So what have I planned for his eternal sunshine of the spotless mind? A birthday cake and a present, big present which I've arranged to go fifths on.
The birthday cake is amazing. See, he has this crazy obession with the Dark Knight - in particular the Joker. So I made him a chocolate cake, and covered the top with icing before drawing the Joker's face on it. Had to take some pictures before it got demolished too. If you are reading this, you'll have to let me know what you think.
I've also yet to make the birthday video. Don't know what song to put with it though. He is obessesed with this Paramore song at the moment. "Misery Buisness" but I don't think that is the direction to go in. Need something birthday-ish. I'll work it out sooner or later and upload.
Anywho, gotta go!

So help me. What should I do with the money out of a and b????
