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.

HOME

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!

Crayon Physics Deluxe I wrote a feature about it on tofu-hero.com

Season 1 is over! I nearly cried when it ended - Thursdays just aren't the same anymore

Nothing beats sleek and geeky

My gorgeous new jacket - 13 quid from Primark!

You get the little fuzzy bird shown in the earlier lolcat picture if you reach the end of this blog :3

Ah, glad to see that you seem to be having a good time at your job. When will we get pictures of the hair-cut?
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. ) and you seem to have had a great time. That cake looks amazing too.
Take care.

@SlashDementia3 Not until it gets done properly Thanks ^___^

Nice one
Posted Aug 31, 2009 9:35 am PT
Congrats on your results.
Posted Aug 31, 2009 9:45 am PT
There is no panda in those gifts, I am sad. And what is a nipper? Is that UK slang for child? Because the only definition I know is used for pliers and whatnot.
Posted Aug 31, 2009 9:56 am PT
Hero got swine flu? Good grief! Congrats on the hospital job.
Posted Aug 31, 2009 10:05 am PT
Nice blog!
That cake looks awesome!
When you said Hero had swine flu when we played L4D, I thought you were joking.

Wow never heard of the one million giraffe thing, and yours is really cute. And it looks like you had an awesome birthday. The cake is really amazing as well. Glad to see you put the little fuzzy bird as your image of the month because that is really cute. But congrats on everything you have done this past month. And have a great month of September.

@Big_Bad_Sad: Ta

@MistressMinako: Lmao yeh There's no panda, but there is a handcrafted Em raccoon from my mate Pippa

@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! You muppet ^___^

@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

Level up! You get +2 respect. Did you notice how one image says you joined on the 25th, and the other says you joined on the 26th? Weird.

Amazing cake. Is that a real picture on the back? Oh, and that dude on the left is grabbing her bewbz in the couples photo.

Hopefully you won't get swine flu. I had it earlier this month, and I'm glad that I didn't give it to anyone.

@joesh89: Lmao I'll have to tell her that!

@GamerJM: I tried to shorten it down this month to capture peoples interest Next month's will probably be even shorter cause there won't be much on but I suppose that's a good thing so my blogs don't bore everyone to death!

And to everyone else: Thanks! ^_____^
Posted Sep 1, 2009 9:07 am PT

Why are you waiting until 25 to go into the police? I'm going to apply for Greater Manchester Police when they next do a recruitment process.
Posted Sep 28, 2009 5:55 pm PT
@CBR600-RR I'm still settling into the NHS and applying for permanent work there so I haven't got time to be looking into the police atm really. I want to have a stable, good job first before making a shot at the police Good luck with yours though! ^______^
