I spoke to soon. The dream is over.
we tried to find stuff for the outfits but couldnae find any white overalls. and so the dream is over.
I partially blame myself. this is because of a silly superstition i have which i swear to god isn't even a superstition it's an actual fact- when i tell people, ANYONE, about something i'm looking forward to or something i've planned on doing that's really cool it never EVER EVER happens. literally everything i've gotten excited about happening i open my mouth and say something and within hours it's not happening anymore or it just never happens and falls through. and i've actually tested this theory- i've known something exciting was gonna be happening or was planned and whatever and i don't tell anyone and it happens.
I know i sound mental, but you have to think of these things when you're as consistently unlucky as i am.i don't begrudge it.it'd be a waste of my time to think on it too much, and if i tried to think of a rational reasoning behind why i'm so unlucky i'd probably go mental. if anything it means i can deal well when things go completely to pot. well, reasonably well...
but yeah. so i blame myself a little for it not happening. and now i have no idea what to go as. literally none. sigh.

intergalactic planetary, planetary, intergalactic
it's been a while since i bloggatroned it up. this is due to my hectic schedule of...well, nothing. Actually that's not entirely true- my schedule has been hectically filled with many time consuming and therefore blog-less events such as coming back to uni, attending my first seminar, making an absolute fool out of myself on a drunken night out and consequently missing my first lecture, and becoming addicted to trials HD. it's been a good start!
my effort seems to be wavering a little, especially in regards to getting out of bed. seeing as i'm writing this IN bed, having only woken from my dozy slumber about 20 minutes ago i think it's safe to assume i'm feeling a little lazy. tbh i'm currently experiencing a three-day hangover which MUST be some sort of record, surely? (no, it's not. and stop calling me Shirley) i wake up early enough and before monday i was able to be up and about but now i just wake up and then think "i'll just close my eyes and doze for a wee while" and then i wake up and my clock tells me an hours gone and i'm suddenly tremendously late for a lot of things
i'm quite excited about today- me and alex are going to B&Q, which doesn't sound exciting at all unless you discover what we're going to B&Q for;
Our friend Izzy is having a 20th birthday party this weekend with a theme of 'Famous musicians'. basically you have to dress up like a famous singer or band or whatever. we kinda came up with an idea of, ahem, 'intergalactic' proportions. and so, me, Alex and Ted are going as this;
THAT'S RIGHT!!

THAT'S RIGHT!!
The dream will finally (hopefully) be realised!!! plus it's 90's night at the venue so blates we'd fit right in
See here for more details; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDS83yrM30Y
My only worry was my inability to pull wearing such a concoction. but as alex pointed out only the cool people would realise what we were and i figured that if i actually manage to find a bloke who thinks a girl who dresses up intergalactically is attractive i would've inadvertently attracted the type of guy i'm looking for and may very well have found my soul mate. this could, however, also reveal the fact that he doesn't exist and further prove Ted's prediction, of me becoming a strange, lonely old woman with many,MANY cats, to be true.
And that's it for now. nowt much else is going on tbh. Being back at uni is pretty much the balls, i'm loving it, except from the fact i have a 9am seminar tomorrow- that sucks A LOT. but yeah...Canterbury FTW

An ode to Millie. We are crazies meant to be.
I'm pretty easy to please, and take pleasure in the smaller things in life. Like finding a clicky top pen that writes on paper like a normal Biro writes on a banana;
if you've never written on a banana with a Biro for the love of god what have you been doing with your time?!?!it's the greatest thing in the world!!find a banana, find a Biro and do it. NOW. I'll wait.
...
done it?
Good.
There are many things that make me ridiculously happy or excited for no real reason;
-Car doors that open backwards
-Breaking the seal on a new cup of coffee
-Slipper socks
-Taking the plastic cover off of a new DVD
-Folding the page of a book over for the first time
-Paperchase (i would literally walk around that shop squealing if i didn't concentrate on not squealing)
-Glittens (gloves that are also Mittens. greatest invention in the world.)
-New episodes of One Tree Hill
-Counting the pennies in my robot change mug at the end of term
-The little stickers you find on apples
-pint bottles of milk (they're so tiny and cute!)
but nothing makes me quite as ridiculously happy as my itteh bitteh kitteh Millie;
She's smelly, snotty, a little retarded and attention seeking.
she's never scratched or bitten anyone, is the sweetest animal i've ever met and gives nothing but 100% pure unadulterated love to anyone lucky enough to cross paths with her.
I'm so allergic to her that i have to take allergy tablets every 4 hours when i'm at home.
When i'm lying down she comes and lies on my front for huggles, putting one paw around my neck and the other she wraps around my thumb.
one night she plucked 4 keys off of Bob's keyboard when i left it open accidentally.
She has the smallest little nose i have ever seen on any cat- it's the size of my little fingernail and completely black and the fur around it has gone grey where she is quite old now.
She was abandoned as a kitten, and so never learnt how to clean herself properly- she gives herself a bath by rolling around on her back frantically licking herself and waving her paws around.
One time she caught a butterfly for me- and then couldn't find it because it got stuck to the bottom of her paw.
And another time she came in meowing and proud of herself because she had caught something else for us- it turned out to be a bit of old sausage she'd found.
I love my Millie Cat more than anything (other than my Charlie fluffyball). She is my ickle baby.
I like being a crazt cat lady. :D

UEA day
i feel good right now. I've had a fairly active day, and am now belting out Florence and the machine at the top of voice, probably to the disdain of my poor family. ah well. they only have to listen to it for 6 more days :)
This morning was pretty epic- up at 6:45am despite having only fallen asleep at around 3am (stupid amounts of yummy yummy coffee are to blame. that and the accessibility of twitter on my mobly, which is a ridiculous excuse because no one is ever really on twitter around that time). the night before i decided to make my alarm tone 'No Limit' by '2 Unlimited' for 'the lolz' as i'd told Kage, thinking that it would be simply HILARIOUS to be woken up by it.
Oh, boy, was i wrong.
Easily one of the most disorientating moments of my life-i had no clue what was going on!!suddenly "BAH BAH BANANANAH BA BA BANANANAH" was blaring from my phone- it was so loud it woke up Fozz in the next room!!Kage just sat up and went "ARGH!" as i desperately tried to work out was was going on. Charlie was freaked, and nearly attacked me because i accidentally covered her with my quilt, and it was utter pandemonium!! i finally figured out it was my phone as kage sleepily shouted over the pounding song 'WHY DID YOU PUT THIS AS YOUR ALARM??!!' to which i could only yell back 'I DON'T BLOODY KNOW!!'. seriously it's so loud for such a little speaker!!it took me forever to switch it off too, because i'd never set the alarm before so didn't know how to disable it!!it was hilarious though- i managed to switch it off just as the bloke screamed "LEMME HERE YA SAY YEAH!!!" and kage just went 'NOOOOOOO!!'-i couldn't stop laughing
we had to get the 7:45 bus, and leave extra early because of how icey it was outside. this resulted in me leaving the house without my glasses, much to my dismay, and also with a stomach 'happily filled' with a half eaten bowl of cornflakes and and half finished cup of coffee. When Kage has a strict timetable you adhere to it- breakfast be DAMNED. that girl runs on 100% German efficiency, i swear if she didn't look so much like Vic I'd be worried! we ran- YES RAN- over the ice in order to get to the bus stop on time. i don't know how i didn't fall over but i didn't!!Beccles is a no grit zone, however so it wasn't fun. we got to the bus stop with just in time to wait another 20 minutes because the bus was running late. yaaaaaaaay.
The reason we were catching the bus is because today is Kage's first day of spring/summer term at UEA. She's feeling poorly at the moment but needed to go up because it's the first day so i volunteered to go along so she'll feel a little happier- Kage likes her company, bless her. The uni itself is alright- but it's a bit of a concrete jungle. I think i'm a little biased towards Kent though! Kage went to her seminar and i went and sat in a cafe called 'zest' which for some strange reason i kept accidentally calling 'flex'- i don't know why. i was utterly confused by the coffee machine, and the milk dispenser and received many a disapproving look from the people around me who completely ignored my cried for help. i'll say that about the UEA- the atmosphere wasn't really that friendly. but everything is covered in concrete so it's kinda hard to be chirpy...somehow Kage manages it though :) she is my favourite ever.
I sat in the front corner of the cafe next to the window with my coffee and honey biscuits and watch the dark knight on Kage's ipod. actually, i just kept skipping to the bits with the joker cos i love those parts and didn't have much time. whilst there i kept an eye out for any guy candy but alas to no avail. the place was literally riddled with scene and indie kids, who looked down at me from their untied pvc nike trainers and coiffed fringes. they were wearing t-shirts blazing band names that take you weeks to pronounce, like 'my best friend hates me so now i make music' or 'backwards pyjama wearing fan-girls' or something equally as pointless and annoying. the one guy i did think was fit was a classic Monet- gorgeous from far away, kinda blurry and messy close up.
after that i went to Kage's lecture and pretty much blanked. after various tomfoolery we were on the bus back home, but not before Kage bought me some Ribena light (she knows what i love bless her!!!) and maltesers to say danke shane for the day. on the bus home we actually had a really in depth discussion about politics and things which was really really cool. Kage taught me tons of stuff, so when i go back to Canters i can ACTUALLY have political discussion and not just give the usual input i give, which is "Well...i just think David Cameron looks like a nice bloke" or "the problem is i don't really like Gordon Brown but i think his wife is lovely- i feel quite bad for her". NOW i have stuff to talk about!!!also, Gordon Brown's real first name is James!!!JAMES BROWN!!as Kage quaintly put it; 'he should've kept his name. people'd like him if he had the funk"
nowt much has happened since i've been home. Panders had a rubbish day at work and was a bit down; ma's still really ill at the mo, poor little thing :( and Eli started nursery today and loved it- he also hijacked Bob to play CBeebies and got spit all over my keyboard. i kept my cool.
and that's my day so far. i had to go to bed early last night (yeah that worked) and as a result couldnae watch Forrest Gump like i wanted to- so as a treat i'm gonna stay up tonight and watch
whatever film i want to. it's between galaxy quest, signs or SATC movie at the minute...hmmm decisions decisions...

Praying to the snow gods
Me:Panders said something TRULY horrifying today Fozz
Fozz:Oh yeah, what was that?
Me: we were talking about the snow, and he said "One thing i will say girly is that if it keeps up like this next saturday might not happen"
Fozz:What's next saturday?
Me:...I'm going back to Canters, i told you this this morning
Fozz:Oh, yeah, i can't remember
Me: But yeah...Dad said if the snows still snowing than i won't be going back next saturday.
Fozz:..Why exactly is that terrifying?
Me: Because i need to go back to Canters. (panickly stuttering) I just-I can't- I won't- I need (takes deep calming sigh) phew. I NEED TO GO BACK TO CANTERBURY.
i really really REALLY do. Snow? can you hear me? it's amy...hiiii!!!we've had some good times, snow. Remember when i was 9 and me and Dad built you into a snowman? It was Fozz and David who drove through the middle of you, using our pedal police car, NOT ME. PLEASE STOP SOON SO I CAN GO BACK!!please?? thanking you muchly.
you know things are desperate when it resorts to snow prayer.
I'll bloody walk back to Canters if i need to. google maps tell me it would take exactly 2 days 0 hours if i take the A2...that's doable.

A snow Beccles is a beautiful Beccles
I always moan about living in Beccles.
But i gotta admit- it's kinda beautiful ^^
But i gotta admit- it's kinda beautiful ^^
(sorry for the shoddy quality of piccytures. My phone camera is PFFT)
This is our neighbours' (Ron and Joan) garden
The Cloud Mountains were pretty spectacular
It was so eerie how our garden was just tinted with blue light
This was when it was snowing earlier in the day- watching the birds hop about was so funny
And that's a snowy day in Beccles. It's so lush having a mahusive garden to frolic about in ^^
i had to resist the temptation to just dive into the untouched blanket. In some places the snow came halfway up my boot!!
Tomorrow me and Fozz are hoping to create a snow version of 'Jurassic Park'. Yeah, you heard me!! should be awesome sauce fun :D
hope everyone's safe in the snow, wherever you may currently be!
