"A commander about to go into battle asked his cabin boy to fetch his red coat and when asked why he needed the red coat, the commander explained that if he were to be wounded in battle, he did not want his men to be disheartened by the blood.
One day the entire British armada appeared on the horizon and the commander turned to his cabin boy and said 'fetch me my brown trousers'"

Relevance? That's how I feel right now lol. I've got a narrative to hand in for Monday but I want to hand it in today because it needs to be in by 10am on Monday and since I am also working at 12:30, I will be stuck in Edinburgh for 3 hours! Of course before I can hand anything in, I need to finish my storyboards for the script which is 40 something pages long.

Panic Stations!

Well I've been in University for about 6 weeks and it's been great. Although the course is a little bit challenging. I wrote a really long treatment for a narrative for my course work and I just found out on Friday that not only do I need to script it, but I also need to storyboard it as well! So I've had to cut it down a bit in order to finish it so I can hand it in in two weeks.

It also turns out that I'm only in Uni for two days and I'm in work for two days which means I can still spend time with my man, Chris ^_^

I've seen Up! Which was a really serious film and it did have its funny moments. I want a talking dog and it's nothing to do with Dug the talking dog in UP. I also went to see District 9 which I loved.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days came out and I'll be getting it soon, but I'm more looking forward to Birth by Sleep on the PSP. Here's hoping it comes out here.

One can hope ^_^

Wow, one year ago yesterday was the last time I posted lol

A lot has happened in the past year that I haven't posted a single thing. My college course was a complete shambles because for the first nine weeks, the programs were not working. I got the work done but the trouble did not end there, I never got my certificate until a couple of weeks ago because of some screw up with the course. Yesterday was my first day at University and in true newb fashion, I got lost trying to find the damn place, but eventually I stumbled across a taxi who took me to where I need to go for £3 lol

I made a few new friends (I think - hope) one who shares the same last name and notebook incidentally. So hopefully that will turn into an actual friendship *fingers crossed*

I finished the first draft and it's fucking terrible lol I've got so much to edit, alot of which is grammar, I've got storylines to fix, backgrounds to create and mannerisms to alter. 265 pages though ^_^

Work has been absolutely terrible - I got a really shit score on my straight talking - and I am currently under scrutiny until my score improves. Hopefully because I am doing shorter hours, this will improve. I need to wait until this Thursday before I can get my timetable which I really hope is going to leave me with one day free, the same can be hoped for work if the former is hopeless.

My relationship with my boyfriend has strayed on new and wonderful ground - 2 years, 4 months, 3 weeks and 1 day together so far! - we've been seeing each more often with the summer but I fear that is soon coming to an end. Tomorrow he's coming here for a day that will probably be our last for a long while. See, University is all week apparently 9-5 which leaves me an hour to get to work to do a 6-8 which is 2 hours a day. Even if I was to do this for the full week, that still leaves 3 hours of contracted work which probably means I will have to do a Saturday - I'm contracted to do 2 Saturdays out of every month - So unless Uni ends an hour or so early on certain days, my week is pretty much booked. And Sunday, as depressing a fact as it is to admit, is my only free day as my department isn't open on a Sunday nor does Uni run on this day. Sunday of course is the only fucking day that the trains don't run to Glasgow. So needless to say I'm going to be a little depressed at not seeing my boyfriend

But hey, we've been through worse, and there's always the holidays to see each other and it's not as if we are phone shy. The longest we've ever been a part is 5 weeks and I have a sneaking suspicion that we are about to break to record. *sigh* No point in getting upset about something I don't have all the information about. Thursday will be the decider...and by extension Friday since thats when I have to agree my shifts. Here's hoping that goes well.

Apparently though - according to the Tarot cards - University is meant to be a fun experience for me and everything's going to be fine. Funnily enough they also said I'd be in my work for another six months and despite all the crap that has happened; I'm still there! I was actually disappointed when I didn't get fired...how strange is that, you would think that in this time of recession, I'd be glad but I was a little disappointed...*shrugs* oh well

I'll be sure to update the journal about the outcome of the timetable.

1) Being gay is not natural. (Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.)

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay. (Much in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.)

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets (because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract).

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all. (Women are still property, blacks still can’t marry white, and divorce is still illegal.)

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed. (The sanctity of Britney Spears’ fifty-five-hour, just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.)

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. (Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.)

7) Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children (since straight parents only raise straight children).

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. (In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed upon the whole country, which is why we only have one religion here in America.)

9) Children can never succeed without a male and female role model at home (which is why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children).

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of our society. (We could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.)

To the person who came up with this, this piece of writing is so cool! The sentences in brackets are meant to be the sarchastic part of the sentence ^_^

OMG The Avatar Finale was f**king amazing! If you've been following Avatar and you haven't seen it yet...Watch it! It will blow your mind! *sigh* And now that it's over there is a void that needs to be filled...This sounds like a job for Chris! Bwhahahahaha!
