Nothing has really happened today. Did some work and then had some people round for tea this evening. But i have been thinking....i know its dangerous! At our certificates evening they got someone to play/sing 'wind beneath my wings'. Now although its kinda a really cheesy song-i think the words are actually quite good. How many times have you marvelled at your achievement and success, then suddenly realised that theres someone underneath you (not physically!!) holding you up and supporting you. Maybe its just me....Who knows
I know there are lot of people who are the wind beneath my wings-and most of the time-i have the tendency to forget that they are there. Anwyays, just some musings from perhaps the saner half of my mind! Apologies about the cheesy thought!!
Tomorrow promises to be a rather dull day of work. But i am going out for a drink in the evening! yippee!
Thought for the Day: Who is the wind beneath your wings? and when was the last time you recognised that?

And the winner is....
Not me! Yes another awards ceremony at which i won nothing! Still got some nice A-Level certificates i suppose. Never really stood a chance against the two birghtest people in the year who happened to be in my maths and physcis classes!
Still im not really bothered. It was nice to see my friends again. I think really what tonight did was to confirm to me that i have absolutely no regrets about leaving school. The school itself i completely disagree with and i am glad not to be associated with it. I had a fantastic time there, due to teachers and friends, but i also had plenty of not so great memories dealing with the school itself. So finally i have waved it goodbye and moved on.
Went into town again today-i really am getting a lot of excercise these days! Just like back in durham i suppose!
Thought for the Day: If a road has no obstacles, it probably leads to nothing

Springtime for Hitler
Just been to see The Producers at the cinema. It was a fantastic film! Don't listen to the reviews-go and see it! Well we enjoyed it anyway! And, best of all...it has pigeons!! Yes it has cooing, flapping, flying-even dancing pigeons. That makes any film worth seeing. But even if you don't like pigeons, still go and see it!
Having said that it is quite weird, and 2 people did leave after 20mins! Anyway firstly a virtual fireplace is a dvd, that when played, looks like real fire! hence i can have a fire in my room with no hassle! How brilliant is that!
Right then...what other wonderful things do i have to say...hmmmm.. i did some of my Uni work today, so im feeling real pleased with myself. Though in reality i have done one of quite a few days work-so i shouldn't make too much of it. Tomorrow i hope to do more-and then i have my certificates evening in the evening (obviously!). Taraa

Tuesday 3rd Jan
Hello hello-this was written on tuesday by the way. Problem with the internet means i have to post a lil late!
I bought a virtual fireplace on ebay! Yay! Go me. I guess i kinda got carried away, but it is amazing!
Went into town today, and so am thoroughly exhausted! All that effort in one day!
Tomorrow hoping to go to the cinema! Which would be nice. Maybe to see the producers, coz it looks funny even though all the reviews are average.
Anyway gonna have to love you and leave you all
Thought for the Day: Life's a beech, but never an oak

If i were a rich girl-sorry man...lalalallalala
Once again, today was a day of nothingness. Apologies to all those who were involved in it-i don't mean boring-simply not containing much productivity.
Spent the afternoon over at Kat's with some of her extended family. Thats her wider family. Hmm why is that however you say that, it just sounds as though her family were recently caught up in a terrible stretching accident that made them all longer or wider?? Just to reassure you, what i meant was her cousins, aunts, grandparents etc etc.
That was great fun and involved eating some more food! And then sitting for a bit. All in all an exhausting day. Big plans for tomorrow though! I think i'm actually going to leave the house before midday and venture into town. Don't know what to get-preferably something very cheap, but i thought twud be a nice change-and for the first time town will be empty as all the schools go back! Always thinking..always thinking..

2006 Bring it On!
And thus started the year of 2006 AD.
Saw in the new year in style-well not much style because it's me we're talking about here...
Spent most of the day at Katherine's house doing random things like making films and drawing pictures!!! Yes we are actually both insane. Even the men in white coats won't have us. Maybe the ones in orange coats might appear...the ones so rare-no ones actually sure whether they exist or not, partly because all the people that see them are already in the deepest clutches of insanity!
Still, til then i'll keep amusing myself one way or another. Hope everyone else had a spiffingly good new year and that everyone has enjoyed their first day of what promises to be a fun filled year! I actually have nothing to say today-so i will leave
Thought for the Day: How would you like it if people kept coming up to you and saying 'i thought you were extinct?'. No wonder dodos keep themselves to themselves

Ladies and gentlemen...class of 2005...wear sunscreen!
2005 has been quite a year for me. So i thought i'd just go over some of the highlights.
Firstly i got my A-Levels. Probably one of the best moments this year was picking up my results. It meant so much to me inside, and so doing well was a major boost for me.
Then came 10 weeks of Uni! Probably 10 of the best weeks of my life. I made so many good friends and had such an amazing time it was unbelievable. I enjoyed every moment of it, even doing my essay all night!
Katherine got back from Peru late April. Although it seems ages ago now, it was pretty special. Also going to France together in the summer was amazing. We also both helped at a youth drama camp in the summer which was good fun as usual. And now we are at Uni together!
In April i had my 18th, which, although Katherine wasn't here for! lol, was great. Had quite a few other 18ths too. They are always a laugh.
England won the ashes! Although i had nothing to do with it of course, that has to be a highlight.
Well i think those are the main highlights. I've probably forgotten something really important-but hey! c'est la vie. Now bring on 2006!!!

Rachel-my favourite sister
Ive been asked by a certain member of my family (big fan of the blog as well!) to mention their name as so far they have not even been reffered to! So here goes...Rachel Marjoribanks-my favourite, worst and only sister. See pic above! Oh dear she could have at least smiled...mind you she didn't know it was going to end up on here. Tee hee hee
Which brings me onto my next topic-My digital camera which arrived this morning! Yay. Tis brilliant. Look out for random photos appearing here over the next few weeks!
This evening had friends round for a meal/family stuff etc. Was good. This habbit of eating and doing nothing else is going to have to come to an abrupt end after the new year though!
Thought for the Day: Think, Say, Do, Sleep in that order

More relatives!
Yes today it was our turn to do lots of travelling. And so having got up at 6.20 in the morning we set off down to bath to see my grandma for the day. And i have only just got back. I wonder what certain people might make of today's level of activity?
I love grandparents. My grandma has lived in her house for the past 60 odd years-the vast majority with My grandad who passed away two years ago. It's amazing how the house has barely changed ovet those 60 years. And all my childhood memories of the place still exist-the same ornaments, photos, weird random objects are still almost exactly as they were 8 years ago. This is especially the case going upstairs where my grandma is no longer able to venture. It almost has a very haunting feel to it (haunting not haunted-big difference!!!)
Anyways so today has been a good day, even if a little boring spending over 10 hours in the car. I guess it's an example of how one small sacrifice can mean a lot to someone else.
Thought for the Day: If everyone spent a day in someone elses shoes, then we would all have blisters

What have you done today to make you feel proud
Absolutely nothing-as promised. And i have enjoyed every minute of it!
Got up about 10am, had breakfast, helped Man Utd to the Champions League Semis, Ate lunch, went to Knaresborough on a trip vaguely to do with shopping, then ate a little more once id got back (to katherines house). Then i went home, had tea, watched Max and Paddy then came upstairs and ate some chocolate.
There you go-the grand summary of my day. Am i the only one who actually despises th human race 90% of the time?? Road rage, stressed out shoppers, spoilt brats, bad drivers, incompetent sales people-its just one list of annoyance. I settle for an agreement where as long as people dont come crashing into my day-i stay away from theirs-But so often they do....for a few awful moments our paths cross.
Advanced warning i may not post tomorrow as i am away all day-but il do my best-Then we'll be onto New Year and stuff!!
Thought for the Day: Isnt 50% off on something you dont want really 50% on?

Tuesday 27th December
For those of you who may be deluded-it is infact still tuesday!!
Today was a relatives day. That means that i spent the whole day eating, drinking and playing games! (with relatives of course). In fact the 27th December is quite often such a day, to the extent that if 'twer a saints day-u guarantee they'd be related to you!
This Christmas has been quite relative-ish in general. Pretty much all i have done for the last 3 days is socialise...eat...and drink-barely making time for sleep. Hence i look forward to absolute zero of activity tomorrow (www.sleeptyper.blogspot.com for def.). No plans as of yet-but maybe going to Narnia. (the film obviously coz the place doesn't exist). Well the place may exist-please let me know if you find Narnia in your wardrobe-id love to visit.
That'l be all
Thought for the Day: Normal=Average=Mean=Horrible ergo insanity is the way forward!

364 days to go!!!
Well thats Christmas over for another year....tis a shame-oh i wish it could be christmas every day. Well anyway was great fun. Got lots of presents and a fair amount of money and had a really nice time. And now im sat here and contemplating starting the most boring assessment ever set-which consequently was set by a sandal wearing apparently quite fanciable (no names mentioned..) lecturer who obviously was tricked into agreeing to be course convenor (or however you spell it!).
Thanks for the jokes guys. Winner i think had to be Will with his one about the pizza. Emmas was well lets face it awful, Griffs was ok, and Andy would have won the prize for most effort, but perhaps next time should choose some slightly better jokes! Prizes will be on the way soon...
Anyway better go and eat some more-havent eaten for at least 2 hours now! Hope everyone had a good Christmas!
Thought for the Day: live for tomorrows yesterday-no regrets

Merry Christmas!!
Hey hey everyone.Thought i'd write my blog now-then i don't have to write it again 'til Boxing Day (there wil be no Christmas Day blog). We watched Muppet Christmas Carol this evening as has been tradition for the past number of years.Also went to the little kiddies service at church-its so much fun being childish!!!
The excitement is beginning to build up now. It seems like this Christmas has been a long time coming and i guess i've had quite a significant last 10 weeks let alone year. I guess this last year has beeen amazing for me personally and so much crazy stuff has happened and it's like this is going to cap it all off. I never want to grow out of Christmas-ever.
Well that'l be all for now. Sorry these last few posts have been somewhat dull, but i guess not much has happened over the last few days! Happy Christmas and God Bless!
Thought for the Day: He who has not Christmas in his heart will not find it under a tree.

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay...
Just got back from a night out with old friends. I don't know how one can have old friends at the age of 18 but still...friends from school i haven't seen in a long time. It was great to see how people are doing at Uni etc and to catch up on crazy uni happenings. Although i did keep wanting to make jokes that no-one would have understood
In 10 mins time it will be Christmas Eve-the single most exciting day of the year for me. Although technically Christmas Day should be-the tension the day before is almost as good as the day itself. The family rituals etc etc. By the way, the competition for best joke is really hotting up with some christmas crackers being unleashed!
Anyways seeing as im in the 'happy' state il keep it brief tonight. I need sleep.....
Thought for the Day: Over 1 billion children and young people will spend this Christmas in poverty-more turkey??

'Cher Ami' A true hero
Well extraordinary days never ever seem dull and yes that is a bit obvious-but look at the first letter of the first 9 words! Wow im clever. Went to the library today which was pretty useless seeing as they have no books of any use to anyone between the ages of 11 and 65. Still what can you expect from a library in Harrogate. Had a toasted sandwich for lunch. Mmmmm lunch is rarely something special for me, falling as it does just after breakfast, however when i get up earlier i make sure lunch is worth it! Not that im obssessed with food at all!
Watched some programs about fermats last theorem in the afternoon. Its strange how most mathematicians either attempted or succeeded in commtiming suicide. Strange thing really-quite tragic when it was all over numbers. I guess its all about obsession.
If you have a spare moment this week do check out http://ehrweb.aaas.org/ehr/parents/Pigeons!.html. Its a truly wonderful website. Especially make sure you read the bit at the bottom about Cher Ami-its worth the scroll. I assure you, you will never look at a pigeon in the same way. The mating routine is quite strange too.
Thought for the day: Live life as though you are a penguin-I find it helps...

Well what a day...and to think it was a Tuesday...quite marvellous. Just over 4 days 'til Christmas. Went shopping again today-bought NOTHING. Oh well there's always tommorrow, or the day after tommorrow-well what do you know-i happened to have stumbled across the name of a poor geo-disaster movie released this year (not one for the christmas list). The amusing thing about geographers is that they spend most of the time coming up with new and innovative ways in which the world could end, ranging from earthquakes to volcanoes or super depressions, even asteroids and sea level change. What does it tell you about a subject if all the people who do it are wanting the world to end? If you dont believe me, pick up any geographic magazine and take a dip. Still the subject brings forth legends such as Wish i suppose. Maybe il post a picture of him just so you can all share in the happiness.
Went out for a meal tonight. Italians always fun-especially the food names. Always good food too. Ate lots and lots and now im full to the brim of my brimless hatless head. Ooh and by the way the pigeon appeal is going well. Keep sending the money and emails...
Oh yeah and why not check out http://www.katyarborough.blogspot.com/ for slightly more sane analysis of the day. Only slightly though...
Thought For the Day: Knowledge behaves like energy-eventually it will reach equilibirum
