Day Three - Arguments and Winning!!

Yeah today is a good day because man utd won!!!! Yeah F***king Yeah!!!

Anywho today flipping heck i woke up to the sound of some twats cutting down trees outside my window, like comeon do people really need to hear that at 9am. Also the cleaning lady thought it would be a good idea to knock on everyones doors to complain about us not taking out the garbage.. firstly it wouldnt have been a good idea if i had gotten up because i would have knocked her out and secondly shes the "cleaning" lady so i think she should be taking the garbage out!!

Moving on... today mostly went past playing football manager bringing my home team portadown to the champions league.

I tidied my room something serious.. like took out 3 weeks worth of rubbish and washing. Also i put away my guitar amp intot he cupboard to make room and tidied my drawers etc. I got all my washing and tidying just cleared up in time to go to dinner which as usual on wednesdays was terrible.. i had a leg of chicken and a tub of jelly because i dont like spuds or vegetables.

Dominque was stalking me as i was eating and texted me to come up to her room afterwards to pick up my dvd so yes even though im scared of heights i proceeded to her room on the seventh floor... shaky legs!! Then when i got back to my room i got changed and sproosed up to go down to the bar where i watched the man utd match.. had me seven pints of guinness.. i was nervous so i just kept drinking more lol me and the barman were getting friendly and having a laugha nd sharing the toils and spoils of the match!

So after cheering a few times during goals and good moves and telling people to get out of my way as they kept walking in front of me and the screen.. ahh some english people i dont get!! Like i could hear the girl at the other end of the bar talking about her personal life.. i would get people beside me at the bar shouting orders and rude comments like hey you barman! i dont know i guess its just culture!

so anyway yeaasss man utd won finally.. and im sitting in my room happy and proud of my team

Rating Of The Day!!!

8/10 - any day which man utd win is automatically a 8/10 day

Good points - man utd won

Day Two - Drunk and Randomness

Hmm second day just back from drinking at Graeme’s… yeah couldn’t beat my record I’ve successfully twice now drunk ¾ of a bottle of vodka but I just can’t seem to get the full litre lol my ultimate weakness

Well I started of the day getting up at 7.30am yes AM!! My gawd it was soo early and man I feel sooooo tired now due to lack of sleep etc Any who got up and made myself some toast and strawberry jam yeahhhh! Mmm strawberries sorry its like 12.30am im half drunk and im suffering from the munchies!! Soo anyway I got the 8.30am bus and proceeded to class to do my practical exam where all I had to do was play a bit of guitar to pass a unit… sounds good don’t it …. Not really!! Messed up once due to anger but I’ll not go into that but in the end I passed so I’ll just move on

I then proceeded to langstone on the bus after talking to Dominique about well everything and anything .. I then proceeded to play football manager from like 11am to 3pm… counting down the minutes to dinner which overall was also a pretty good day..

Today I had chicken tika misala and chips and for desert ooo yea strawberry jelly!! Filled me up pretty good.. me and Graeme went to my room after to pick up the vodka then we went back to his were we got drunk and started talking about a lot of things which got us to know each other even better!! Even got to the point where he got me to try on some of his jeans… why you ask well to tell the truth I don’t really know!! Think it was to compare our beer bellies lol!!

Graeme was then (whispers) sick all over his toilet!! Well I told him he drunk too much but he wouldn’t listen lol He proceeded to eat a microwave burger and drink vodka not a good mixture but he’ll learn the hard way I suppose!!

Anyway not a very active day im just sitting here at the closing of the day writing this blog and trying to fight of my hunger!!

Todays Rating

Hmm First day - How long before i get bored??

Monday morning and i wake up well wake up several times.. The last few days my phone has been ringing at random times and when i answer its just a dial tone. Then after being rudely awakened to that i get a phone call from graeme (My scottish mate) for what i really can't remember something about going to do shopping after my rehearsal.

Carrying on... Yes i did a rehearshal today it went pretty well. Currently in one of our units we have to in a group create a piece of music using various instruments to be used as a soundtrack for a clip of house of flying daggers. The group contains Me, Sam (brummie/warwick boy), Sarah, Dominque and some other girl. We have been working on this peice since before christmas and it has only really started to come together aslo may i add come together pretty well. With sam armed on the xylophone and me with guitar along with various drum beats its pretty nifty.

After rehearshal which lasted about an hour and 6 minutes in james watson hall me, sam and dominque got the bus back to langstone. I got back to the room just to be yes phoned again this time telling me "duane, 5 mins, my car lets go." It was graeme who was lookin to go get groceries, me, graeme and english Graham then proceeded to ASDA in quick speed thanks to graemes irradical driving. About this time i got into a fit of giggleness and started making random faces and yeah in generally doing alot of random childish things. E.G walking into ASDA shouting at graham beside me.. seemed fun at the time. Once again started out trying to budget and get cheap, low fattening food but yeaaa that soon when down the bog!

Spent £29 which isnt too bad i suppose the big cost was the traditional bottle of vodka which just had to be bought to keep me and the lads sane. We then decided to check out the new tescos express which had just opened. We got there with more irradical driving which involved shouting at a woman driver!! I went in and temptation grabbed me and held me at gun point to buy a tub of ben and jerries ice cream.. well not at gun point but ye know the whole metaphor thing.. :/

After tescos we headed home and proceeded down to dinner which was quite good by my standards. I had a chicken keiv with chips and for dessert chocolate sponge and choclate sauce.. havent quite mastered teifons skill of getting seconds though

Hmm then came back to my room where i just proceeded to talk to dominque and my mates for a while on msn messanger.. which brings me to this point where eys i have resorted to watching celebrity big brother..

I think i'll head to bed now as i have a practical exam tomorrow for my soundtrack wish me luck and sam too! Now how to end my posts lets see my flatmate teifon likes his random fact or whatever of the day i think i will just end with a rating of the day and good points etc...

Rating Of The Day!!!

6/10 - pretty ok day, havent fully decided on values of these scales but 6 is pretty ok i think
