Hooray !!!

Well so far this week it's been a week of hoorays !!

The Internet

For those who know me, I am totally addicted to the Internet. There isn't a day when I'm not on it for some reason or another. However Tuesday the 22nd of April turned out to a dark day: the day the internet died.

Switched the computer on, normal everyday thing, but there it was staring back at me, a little bubble in the bottom right hand corner:

Wireless connection cannot be found

With that menacing little bubble I came to the conclusion that it must be my fault and after several hours of fiddling with the computer, I gave up and rang BT!

Oh the joys of BT !! I really enjoyed our conversation. To begin with a woman with a really strong Indian accent answered the phone - great start - then she began to say things like:

Check the Internet is plugged in, check your computer is turned on!

What kind of retard is gonna have their computer switched off !!! Duh !!

Anyway, after that wonderful conversation, we came to the conclusion that BT itself was to blame and I switched the computer off. I was not amused.

Then a whole 7 days later, the Internet comes back and thus here I am, pleasing my few loyal readers ^^

At The Doctors

For the best part of 4 years I have had a dodgy throat of some degree. Every time I go to the doctors there's nothing wrong with me. In fact last time I went complaining about my throat, I came back with something to unblock my nose! and the doctors we have, I swear the one was sitting on a cushion and the other had a face like a slapped ass !!

However, today there was a minor victory. After waiting the best part of 20 minutes for my appointment, good old NHS!, I got in and spoke to a lady that looked frighteningly similar to Cruella de'ville. She actually acknowleged that there was a problem and, you'll never guess, she actually prescribed me something.

Apparently I have an overactive mucus gland which is screwing my throat, nose and ears up ( and I thought my ears were ok !!) So she's put me on this spray stuff and if that doesn't work, ENT clinic here I come !!

And then my final hooray!: I have an interview for St David's.

After waiting an absolute age for an interview, I recived a letter on Saturday saying that I have one on Wednesday. Not much notice admitedly, but at least I know when I'm going. I'm a little nervous but will try and impress as much as I can without seeming like: a) an ass licker, or b) a little show-off-know-it-all- super-brat.

Well I can only be myself ^^

Yes, I know, I rock !!

Elliot Minor were ace !!!!

Elliot Minor - I saw them !!

For my birthday my friend Blake decided to buy us tickets to see Elliot Minor at Cardiff Uni. After waiting a long time for tickets, then realising that you had to show them an email and claim them there, Friday 11th April finally arrived !!!

At 7pm we arrived at the venue, the Solus Nightclub, only to realise that there was a huge que outside! No I mean huge, it was right down the street. So we joined the end and slowly but surely we got closer to getting in!

Then as we approached the doors, we realised that we were in the wrong line. We had ordered our tickets online and didn't actually have them we had to get them there. So we casually ducked under the barrier and carried on like nothing had happened!!

Furthest Drive Home

By the time we actually got in there the first warm up band was already on, Furthest Drive Home. So we immediatly joined in at the side. No long after we got there, we were joined by Leanne, Tom, Rosie and Jade.

We had a perfect view of the bassist from where we were and I couldn't help but realise how much he looked like a friend of mine, another Tom !!

Here is a photo comparing the two:

Well it did from where I was standing !!



The Higher

Next an American band, The Higher came on. Oooo !! American accents annoy me !! "How y'all doing?" Do you mean to sound like a redneck or does it just come naturally!! Anyway all in all the sang pretty well. They sang a song about ice cream !! For me that's a winner XD

Then there was a 30 minute break, in which we went outside and attacked the bands and made them have their photos taken !! Oh ! and Tom got his shoe signed !! Then after having a group drool over the various singers we decided to go back in before Elliot Minor started.

We went, we attacked and we got a photo with the band XD

As we went through the doors, I couldn't help but notice the size of the amps !! It was HUGE !

Anyway, we regrouped over the opposite side ready for the main event. Woop !!! They finally came on and the show got on the road !!

They were ace !! The crowd was quite slow to start but when it did !! We were up and bopping like the best of them!!

Yeah, that chinese one !!

We were positioned in plain sight of the chinese one. Yeah, I'm no good with names, never have been!! We were watching him for most of it. In all fairness to them they are really good live! Some bands are good when recorded but live they suck, but the chinese one and the main singer, wow I am really bad with names !!, we both really good, and the main one said he had a throat infection !! I would never have guessed !

So after a good night of hardcore raving - XD - we made our way out, unfortunatly into the pouring rain but hey it didn't matter. Our ears were ringing and in my book that's the sign of a good concert !!

Mix and Match

For the last few weeks things have been, to put it frank, boring. Nothing much has happened and thus no blogs !

However, as I know there are a few loyal readers of there... *cough* Tom *cough* I will write something to keep them happy ^^

As no one event has been worth of a blog entry this will be a mix and match of what's happened over the last week or two...

My Birthday

In fact it was that very cake !!

Well the 4th of March was my 16th birthday. Didn't do much as I'm not the partying type. So went into school like any other day, no one seemed to remember it was my birthday!

To be honest I expected it. The vast majority of my "friends" are shit! I have very few decent friends.

So I decided to play a little game with myself: let's see how long it is before someone notices. Me and Daniel walk to school, nope he has no idea.

The I stood waiting outside my form class when I actually told someone, I told Daniel Caddy. Who in turn, as we were going up to welsh, spoke to Ben, who said something like: So! Doesn't bother me. I don't care whose birthday it is. - and there's me standing right behind him.

It doesn't really bother me. I went out with my parents and had a lovely meal at Casa Paco, highly recommended gorgeous food, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The Murder Mystery


Well, probably the only drama thing I'm going to do this year, and probably the last in the school!

Oh how I missed doing things like this. I love drama to bits, but because of certain things *cough*GCSEs*cough* it had to be put on hold. However, I have done the Murder Mystery since it began all the way back in year 8.

Anyway, this year it was "Murder on the Orient Express". This year I played the part of the slightly snobbish Sir Patrick Lyndon, a retired lawyer, who obviously had an immense amount of money as he had done the Orient Express 6 times!! and at £4,000 a trip!!!

Going round the tables was quite good this year. No one particularly aggressive except the psychology table. Argh!! The Psycho Table always tries to psycho-analyse you as soon as you sit down! They kept on asking me about arsenic and what the hell do I know about arsenic !!

However, one thing took us all by surprise. During the interval we were all gathered in the room waiting and gossiping about who we thought was the murderer, which I got wrong as usual!! Then we heard two massive gun shots from outside. I immediately began to count everyone to see who had gotten shot. We counted them all and it became apparent that no one was missing. Oh heck! Was it a real murder ??

It's half past nine, we're all tired so our imagination gets the best of us. I quietly began to formulate my exit plan but then Mrs Ellis came in:

Blake, you've just been shot sweety, you can get undressed if you want!

She puts it so nicely !! Anyway we went back in finished the game and discovered that Blake and Ellis had been the murderers, proving my theory that the author had done it totally wrong, and anyway he spent the whole night bonking Mrs. Scarlet!!

Anyway that will do for now. I will leave you with this final comment from Blake after the murder mystery:

Well I must be a whore! According to the tables, I'm pregnant by you, the author and the groom, I've given a blow job to the waiter and found the time to give a lap dance to the butler!

Blake's Party

This is what Saturday night was all about: alcohol. I have never seen so much of it and to be honest it scared me.

Saturday night was Blake's birthday party. So I was going and sleeping over. Innocently enough I thought it would be a nice night, you know typical dancing, having a natter that kind of stuff. However that was not to be.



I arrived and the house was as any other party. A couple of people there, I arrived early-ish, and some loud music - fair enough ! Then more people began to come and the dancing began with an couple of us having a chat. Still innocent enough. At this point I was quite enjoying myself, if it had carried on like that then it would have been fun.

However, two boys came in through the living room with big packs of WKD's in the arms. In fact one had so many that he dropped one or two on the floor, throwing glass across the kitchen floor in a house where wearing shoes inside is a punishable offence.

Ok, the appearance of alcohol initially didn't dismay me as the quantity they had brought meant that everyone might get one bottle each, plus they're mainly fruit juice anyway. Anyway they were distributed and everyone, including myself, had a drink.

Now things started to turn into a drunken stupor very quickly. His parents put out some nibbles and then they left the house to Blake. Bad move, from there a supply of beer and other alcoholic drinks appeared and soon there was more than enough beer to go around. Then when I saw one boy mixing drinks and heard another say that he had been on the Pernod before he had come... well...

It was frightening how quickly they got drunk. In fact it was so frightening I wanted to leave. When I go to a party, I want to have fun and to be fair alcohol is totally unnecessary. Fair enough have one or two but where's the good time in getting drunk?

Anyway, I got my things, rang for a lift and left. However before I did I notice Blake was sprawled out in the middle of the living room. Also as I walked out the door, I saw another boy shoot out the side door and throw up in the garden. I can't get this image out of my head. I feel sick just to think about it.

After these wonderful events plus threats that the police had been called, with the news that Leanne was going to throw herself in front of a car or something, I was so glad to see my mother's car come up the road. I ran and got in and for the first time since I got there I could relax.

An Outing in Cardiff !!

Well what a day I have had !!

A day full of bitching, shopping and watching with Lyndsey in Cardiff!!

For a start it was warm !! I'm not used to the weather being nice I was half expecting it to rain. However it didn't and I was left lugging round a heavy coat all day !!

Bloody Coat !!

That was the only bad part. We've said some really strange but histerically funny things. For example:

A man walked past in a "lilac" hoddy and imediatly we turned to each other and said "Gay!" It was very funny !!!

Get a guy to wear that and tell me he's not gay !!

Then there was the band we saw randomly. They were playing right in the middle of Queen Street. In all fairness they were quite good and we must have stopped two or three times to watch them. Then there was the "are we to chicken to go and pick up a flyer" conversation but eventually we concered our fears an obtained the flyer.

After that we then continued to accuire our food from Boots as a protest !! - our conversation about how McDonalds are single handedly destroying the world and causing Global Warming!

McDonalds will single handedly destroy the Western World !!

Then to make our way out to Albany Road - one of the rougher areas of Cardiff !! - we had to cross a main road via traffic lights. Now as we waited the bus we were after came up and parked at the stop across the road. Lyndsey began to look anxious and started screaming "Change faster !!" Sadly it didn't work and we watched helplessly as the bus drove away without us in it!! From this we are now beginning the "Ban Traffic Lights" Campaign - so they may have saved a few lives but millions have missed their busses because of them !!

Damn them !!

Then after acquiring so "slutty" clothes from Primark !! Yes, believe it or not I have bought clothes from Primark. We went back to watch the band again, who were in fact called The LowLights - www.thelowlights.co.uk . Soon they were finished and Lynds, being Lynds, wanted a photograph with the band, so we sat down near them and watched as two girls came over and began to talk to them. Soon after Lynds started fantasising about knocking these two girls out and going up and having her photo with the band. Eventually she did have her photo with the band greeting them with a high pitched "HI!!" The band looked very freaked out that she wanted a photo but shes got one !!

Hello I'm Lyndsey and I'll be your stalker for today

All in all the day was great ! We should have more days like that and if that bands playing again all the better !!

Sono Depressato !

Yeah, I've not gone emo but things have gotten a bit depressing lately !!

Italian - I used to really enjoy it but now it's starting to get annoying. Every lesson she makes a jab at Daniel telling him to bring in a cake. At first it was funny then it just became annoying and now I want to grab her by the throat smash her head against the table and shout Fuck off!!!!.

Ahh that makes me feel better !!

Then there's the fact that I'm loosing my toutch. In italian I used to be the undisputed knower of all vocabulary we had covered but after my defeat at the hands of the "others" I don't feel as confident any more!!

Fuck off italy !!

Then there's Valentines Day. I gave up on love a long time ago but all of a sudden I felt a spark and thought maybe I should give it one last try. So we went out, had a coffee got to know each other and found that there was an imense amount we had in common. I was even considering sending a valentines card. However that was all thrown into array by one unprovoked comment on msn:

i like u as a great mate ell night night xxxxx

Just a mate. Oh dear once again I give up !! I think it is quite obvious that I am never meant to be loved. I have decided to wrap myself up in my acedemia and not bother with relationships ever again!

The Debate ....

Last night I took part in a debate in front of the Rotary Club officials ! It was quite scary seeing that the majority of your audience is over 65! You start thinking "well if I say this will they know what I'm on about!?" However we went on with our subject, well worthy of debate and in my own words:

"This house proposes that reality TV is so mind numbingly boring and the people that go on these shows are such desperate fools. Therefore they must be banned from the airwaves altogether!"


I argued my case well, debating things like: they are all the same, there's always a blonde bimbo and a guy who wants to shag anything that moves (I heard one lady whisper to her neighbour "Can he say that?" when I made that comment !) and many other points including that Jade Goody is a racist slag and the people who go on it end up more famous not for the good they've done but for what they did in the jacuzzi!

I can't say "kebab" without laughing anymore !!

The three of us all put on a good show and many people were complimenting us afterwards saying how informative and how funny it was. In secret we were quite confident that we were going to win ! So the judges come back and give the standard "everyone's a winner" speech and then announce that Bro Morgannwg are the winners !!

Well done! Well done! .... bitch!

Robbed, that's what we were! We were robbed ! Their's was pretty boring plus they were reading from cards - we wern't ! - overall I think they won because of the snob value ! So they won, I had my bitch fit and then got over it !!

So all in all the night was a good experience and I can put it on my college application - on the debate team, looks good for trying to get on law (obviously we don't tell them that it only lasted a week !!)

In addition Daniel said some things that really did make me laugh!! :

Daniel: I know why we lost !!
Elliot: Why did we loose then ?
Daniel:You see the welshie over there with black hair?
Elliot: Yes?
Daniel: She's the reason why we lost!
Elliot: And how's that then ?
Daniel: Well from looking at her it's quite obvious... she slept with the judge!!!
