Thursday; whilst on the North Circular (which is a scary road btw) I got into a dispute with a bus and lost my wing mirror as a result. But was a brave little soul and continued my journey to Chingford without it and then valiantly made the journey home... still without it. I missed it, and cried a little bit.
Friday; began work at 6.30 am. Which is always a joy. Had a bad morning at work generally, made better by the fact that my mum had run off with my car to get the wing mirror fixed. Got home at 12, finished packing for Brighton, created an accidental gash in my knee that didn't stop bleeding until about halfway through the journey to Brighton. Good so far. But me, John and Baby (the car) ended up in Brighton still in one piece. And the sun was out. Had a lovely chilled afternoon/evening with John and fell asleep watching Friends.
Saturday; woke up to sun, huzzah! Went for a lovely fry-up, hit the beach a little, did some more relaxing and then joined my cousin and her mates for birthday celebrations in bars and clubs and stuff. Re-opened the gash in my knee and ended the night by hobbling back to our hotel room to fall asleep to Pokemon movies. Epic win.
Sunday; we waited about an hour in the sun for burgers, which, like I just mentioned, took an hour to get to us, but were very nice when they arrived. Took a stroll on the beach, bought some David Bowie LPs and refrained from buying a little person's Bowie t-shirt for the baby I'm not planning on having for a good few years yet. Headed home in the sun, even though we wanted to stay, and stopped off in Rickmansworth from drinkies before arriving home and ending our lovely trip.
Today is Monday.
Back to work.
I hate work.
But I loved my weekend.

...in which I should be disappointed
Today is a day where I feel like I've done loads, and I feel like there's loads of little jobs I needed to do that I've gone and done. But I haven't actually done them.
Except clean my fishtank. I just did that and now have two smiley fishes.
This isn't good. Literally in the last minute I've developed the shakes from being hungry. I didn't realise I was this hungry and shakes-hungry is a bit extreme, so I need to sort some food out asap.
Was Greek Easter yesterday so me and John partook in BBQing (or rather, BBQ eating), smashing eggs and feeling Greek... but maybe that last one was just me.
Oh my, I'm gonna have to take a break to find some food.
Back :)
Oh, what else? Yeah I'm going to Brighton at the weekend with John, which is the only thing getting me through a week full of work. Urgh.

...in which I appreciate people
It's Pan's last day at work today, this is well sad. She was the one who interviewed me for my job and looked after me on my first day.
We all went out for her leaving do last night and it's her last shift today so me and Suzy paid her a visit and gave her loads of presents. My work is a great place to be when you're not actually working.
Me and Suzy stole sandwiches and then sat down to reminisce and put together a lil photo album for Pan.
Then I walked home from Ruislip in the sun. I hope I have some sort of tan now, that would be lovely.
*le sigh*
Last night made me love my colleagues even more than I did before. They're such an awesome bunch of people.

...in which I write a blog about blogs
I've been better at updating my LiveJournal recently and in the four days off that I just enjoyed I got to flicking back through my past entries.
It was all a little bit fascinating until we hit some angst. Oh my God. But one of my entries cracked me up a little... you must bear in mind I was going through the most hideous break up in history, my dad was on my case about "not doing enough uni work" and I was not getting along with mon petite frere at all.
"Ugh, I gotta go to work now. Sucks. But I get to work with Jack which is cool coz we have a lot of stupid fun. It's a shame he's leaving soon coz at the moment he's the only male I spend time with who doesn't make me want to smash things."
And even though he left work and I left work twice we're still working together o.O and the fun just gets continually more stupid. I wish he was my cool older brother.. even though he's younger than me. I've already adopted myself a couple of sisters from that place... why not a brother too?
I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a sister. Except my mum. But she might have a step-sister. I should check this out. I'd really like a sister.
Oooh, dare I say it. Work is ok right now. I'm really enjoying not working at the college right now. Many many things about working at Costa get on my nerves but my team are so much love.
BUT OH EM GEE. More importantly, lent end tomorrow, what with it being Easter and all, and I can finally eat meat again. I'm gonna have a burger :]
And I get to spend two days with John, my favourite of all hooman beings.

...in which I wonder if 5th gear is too much of a commitment
I'm such a loser. I'm quite highly disturbed by the number of joyous (what can only be described as) squeaky noises coming out of me whilst looking at this on eBay;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-Volkswagen-Polo-petrol-3-Door-Manual_W0QQitemZ260360347047QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item260360347047&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
If you know me even a little bit then you'll know I used to own one of these (a blue, K-reg, ltd edition Fox version *le sigh*) and I absolutely loved it. I cried when I sold it, even though it was going to one of my best mates.
If you know I used to drive one of those then you'll probably also know what I'm driving now, and think I'm a nutter for missing the days when I drove a bucket :]
Neeerrrrrrrrd!

...in which ... BOO!
My experiment failed slightly. My headache got worse before, during and after my latte experience. But with the help of Ibuprofen and chocolate it should be leaving soon. Kthanxbai.
I bought all the new crazy flavours of Walkers crisps (except cajun squirrel which I have already om nom nommed) whilst I was out. They make me very excited.
My list - from my earlier blog - hasn't been completed. I did manage to not buy shoes though. Epic win.
Argh! I saw it coming and still had a spaz out. I must see this movie.

...in which there is coffee moronicity
Stuff to do; (in no particular order)
Move out
Clean fishtank
Watch "Christine"
Read more
Write a letter
Not buy shoes
Win the lottery
Change my LJ icons
My head feels not good. It feel like I've been surviving on like 2 hours sleep a night for the past week. This isn't the case though so I'm not sure what to do. Might just drink some more tea and hope it goes away.
Oh noes. It's just occurred to me that it might be a caffeine deficiency. Like, I drink the stuff when I'm at work so maybe now I'm not at work I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.
It'll be like an experiment then. I'd planned to go into work today anyway. I had things to buy from the high street and I wanted to go and high five Jack and have a caramel latte. If the headache goes after I've had a latte I shall worry.
Fin.

...in which I decide which Friends character is my favourite
Also known as "The One Where I Decide Who My Favourite Friends Character Is".
Chandler.
As an English peoploid I wonder whether to pronounce it "Charndler" or "Chahndler". Not important.
I'm hilariously tired, maybe a bit delirious.
All pets are present and correct right now, and I've even been blessed with the presence of my cat this week. Is nice. I really want my own cat plz. For belly rubbing and ear scratching.
Was at work today, being made tired and having my soul destroyed. But I was paid a nice visit by Suzy Stardust and we had what I think was our first meeting ever that didn't involve a conversation about King David Bowie (since we discovered we share the love). An epic first. But then my feelings were hurt a bit when she was unceremoniously ushered out of the store. Lame.
Today I feel something akin to dislike towards Starbucks.
Oy.
Um... what else?
I broke lent on Thursday when I went to Gordon Ramsay at Claridges with some rather delicious veal. As someone with a (self-diagnosed, k?) oral fixation I was pretty much in heaven all night. The food was absolutely the best I've ever tasted. Kudos to the man. It was my first time eating lobster too, and I liked it. It tastes like big!prawn.
I'm veering towards being skint again. This means being stingy for the next couple of weeks. It night mean walking to places instead of driving *sob*.
Speaking of money... sort of. I want to buy a poncho. Not a rain-type one, but a soft wooly one for the purpose of feeling snuggly. I can't find one on ASOS, sad times.
Ok, that's ya lot. I'm in bed and there is rubbish TV to be watched. G'night x
