PROGRESS



WORK
I now work full-time as an admin temp at Tickhill hospital in Balby
It's great, the tasks I have to do are varied enough so I don't get bored and the people are really nice. I'll be working there til October but afterwards I hope to get a job in the NHS permanently until I'm 25ish and can get into the police force.

Have you heard of one million giraffes? http://www.olahelland.net/giraffes/
It's a website where you submit a hand drawn/crafted giraffe – they're hoping to get 1 million entries by 2011!
Here's my giraffe: http://olahelland.net/giraffes/?id=17498
I've also been working on mine and Hero's website for the last day or so: http://tofu-hero.com/
A Sims 3 review is up which I wrote last night ![]()
I've had my hair cut – a fringe cut in and it trimmed and layered. It looks ok but it'll look even better when I go to the hair dressers early October (was the first appointment I could get!) and have it cut short at the back to go into a little pony tail and the fringe have more weight on it (so you can't see my forehead) and it layered around the sides ![]()
I rearranged my room today so my bed is where my desk was and vice versa. I'd switched everything off before plugging cables back into my computer and when I switched it on – BAM! The power supply bust. I've only had it for a couple of months so hopefully I can get it replaced for free. I'm also gonna buy a surge protector which I've been meaning to get for ages. I'm using my old power supply atm but it doesn't even have enough space on it to plug my DVD drive and fans in ![]()
SOCIAL
Hero got swine flu recently so I couldn't see him for 2 whole weeks
If I get ill then I'll lose my job and since I work in a hospital it's even worse. Still, he's fine now and I haven't got it!
Here are some extra holiday photos I nabbed from Mehregan's camera:

Me at the airport in Connor's hat ![]()

Me and Hero on our balcony at night...

...and during the day ![]()


All 3 couples lmao ![]()
It was my 18th birthday on the 5th August
I opened my awesome presents in the morning and then went out to lunch with my family. In the evening I went to Hero's house and we had a couple of mates round. I had a fab day ![]()

Presents! ![]()

Amazing cake made by Aunty B!

And it had a photo of me on the back when I was a nipper ![]()
I also got my a-level results back last week:
A2 Photography – B
A2 Psychology – B
AS Citizenship – B
AS Sociology – A
Plus my C from AS Art last year
I was really chuffed with the results, I was unsure about whether I'd got a C in Psychology, let alone a B!
I went to a results party that night in Epworth which was ok, and then to another one that Saturday in Stainforth which was amazing! I drank 5 beers, 1 pear cider, 1 shot of apple sours , 1 shot of absinthe and 1 gas chamber. I usually have up to 4 beers so I got v.drunk that night and had lots of merriment!

That cake looks awesome!
When you said Hero had swine flu when we played L4D, I thought you were joking.
@MistressMinako: Lmao yeh
@megagene: Yep, poor sod had to take those Tamiflu tablets. He had 3 days of it really bad and then was fine...
@bangell99: Lol bit of an odd joke!
@Colmillios: You need to draw one! I forgot to mention in my blog that everyone should do one as well! And thanks, you too
@munchlax99: Ooh I've never heard of Psych, will check it out. Though it won't be as good without Simon Baker
And that is one awesome cake! I would never want to eat it because then I would ruin its glory!
Amazing cake. Is that a real picture on the back?
That cake is awesome. Happy belated birthday.
Hopefully you won't get swine flu.
Also looks like you had a great holiday.... The balcony view must have been extraordinary.
Glad you had a good birthday also.
@joesh89: Lmao I'll have to tell her that!
@GamerJM: I tried to shorten it down this month to capture peoples interest
And to everyone else: Thanks! ^_____^

I've always wanted to look into that web-site you two had going on, but never did. I should get around to that now.
Well, happy belated birthday. The gifts look great (so do those balcony pictures.
Take care.
