Sanguis City

It’s the little things that hurt the most…
as anyone who has ever had a papercut will attest to… Honestly, whoever invented the paper-thin metal file binders should be ASHAMED. I lost so much blood through one finger today I had to sit down. It was everywhere! In the sink, on the paper towel, everywhere. Between my filing injuries and mum’s nosebleeds the office must be covered in Murray DNA! I’m so bad with blood lately, I dunno why, I was never very squeamish before. Oh well, it’s the one thing I will miss least about working I think! My poor hands.. I should be looking after them like Bry tells me too.

other than that, the rest of the day was mostly a success!
My college interview went well and they enroled me there and then, they did pick on my stlye as I suspected and I’d forgotten my oil pastel sketchbook to go alongside my personal work so i couldn’t help my case, didn’t seem to dammage my chances though so it’s allright! So I start college next monday <3 woop woop! Now if only paisley uni would get it’s finger out it’s arse and communicate with me I might get the right documents to saas before they start bombarding me with hate. I’d almost like to be arrested for fraud or something so I can point out how hopeless Paisley’s people-communication really is. I have heard not one peep from them except a library overdue notice this whole summer, I had to chase up my grades and re-sits and still havent got my results/ leaving letter.
I’m going to study ART <3 Including a module on illustration, phosohop skills and SCULPTURE.

so then work flew by even though I went in an hour early, I still got my etrian oddyessey break mid-day I defeated the jungle king and got down to the third stratum! It’s “a mysterious azure world”. It’s absolutely beautiful, I swear to god. Every new strata is more shimmery and lovely than the last. I will post a screenshot infact! I am so enamoured with this game, it’s just sooo good.

Then I got home, and whats waiting for me? Half the manga I ordered! 8 Volumes, all stacked up wating for me to read them <3! And a post-note saying there’s a PARCEL FOR ME at the depo which I can go to tmorrow morning on my way to the doctors since the depo is 3 mins away. My precious pullip dollie awaits! It’s so exciting, such quick delivery. I was expecting her maybe thursday. The rest of my manga should arrive tomorrow or wednesday too.

I have so much love right now for everyone who came to my party extravagaza on friday. Expecially those who drank the glowing punch! Heehee. I learned that party peice from my dad ;D black light is fascinating it really is.
The only downer was whoever was sitting outside left their takeout food IN THE GARDEN. How gross is that? Most of us, are 20 on average. Well, Fra was the youngest in the house and I wouldn’t even put something that gross down to him anymore. Thw wasps in the morning.. of god the wasps.. hundreds of them.. crawling. I feel nauseous thinking about it I actually do, so there was no sitting out in the sun for us the rest of the weekend.

Now, I’ve got some SAAS battles to fight and 4 more days of work.
*deep breath*
Then it’s onto college for me.

I must be strong. I must be strong. I must be strong. I must be strong.

may break my bones, and so do files and chisels….

I’ve been working for a WHOLE MONTH now! Five days a week, for a MONTH! I’m so proud. It’s done no good whatsoever to my nerves, mental or physical state, however I have cocodomol for my spastic core muscles and lots of physiotherapy leaflets. bleeeh.

Living at home is interesting, it’s gotten easyer as time goes by but I miss my old flat-life so much. And the less I think about Bryan being so far away the better, least I cry all over the keyboard and break it.

AmeCon is this weekend,

Fra is 18 TOMORROW! 18!! It’s like, WUT?

OH, Also, I’m blonde.

I thionk that’s all for now

gosh, where to begin? We’ve moved back to bishy. It’s nice here, in all honesty, I am quite comfortable in this house for the first time. Bry being here helps lots. Bry has a job, I have a job. He loves his job, I hate being in formal company every day for a week nevermind all afternoon every day for 2 months but since I got this job as a favour from my mum to make money for japan, I’ll have to cope. Filing is fun, I can do that, sorting labeling and tidying on my own. Picking up mail from people is not so fun, but the mail-labeling machine is quite awesome… you give it letters and it goes “vwoop” and prints lots of official mail stamps on it. The guy thats supposed to show me around, Ken, is really old and smells really bad.. but luckily most of the work is self explanitory (its just the alphabet.. you know?).

We’re currently looking after Ailie, Paw’s twin sister so there’s two dogs in the house! And they are… identical.. infact photo to follow.

I’ve been catching up with the fantabulous jude-meister, but Fio has skipped the country.

It seems like everyone is in town, you know? I was never excatly all in-the-loop but now it’s like myself and Bry might just drop of the radar completely. That would be sad, for us anyway.

Fraser fell down the stairs and spammed his elbow off the bannister and now he has to keep it in a sling till friday. Kind of a shame, but kind of funny, since it was alright in the morning but he fell -again- down the stairs in the Candy store on buchanen st and whacked it again and thats what did the damage. Not a manly injury.. it has to be said.

I just finished watching the Red Garden, (took long enough…lol), but really, it’s amazing. the ending was the usual bittersweet fare but it really couldn’t have gone any other way.

bry’s in fife right now…

I started playing FlyFF

Group therapy started last friday, I was less nervous than I thought I’d be! I actually spoke aswell (twice!)… urr… lol.

I’m back into reading Dexter too, I think i’m trying to round up the stuff I haven’t done before we move.

I finished Puzzle Quest too! Bout time really. But now all other games seem far too complicated by comparison.

Wednesday is my Papa’s birthday, so I’m going to get painting something for him and go through to bishy for dinner with him and the family.

Last saturday might have been the longest day ever, we went to japanese class that morning, bry had an interview straight after, then we went thorugh to bishy and went with the  parents out to maggie’s for a BBQ. (mum’s friend, was friends with her daughters as a kid y’see).. anyway they have an amazing house - there’s chickens and ducks and two cats and four dogs and everyone’s as lovely as they always were. I was worried bry felt too out of place, but Marshal (the most timid greyhound you could meet) took a total shine to him hehee.
Then on saturday night I was out in firewater with fio for her close-knit super-duper B-day night of drinking. It was a good laugh, if only I’d had more than about a pound to my name for drinks. (oh well!)

Oh! Also! yesterday we waxed one of bry’s legs! (Then ran  out of wax). It was a learning experience all round really.

Success is sweet.
And today was full of it.

First, I went to the doctors in bishy - boo, right? No! The doctor says I’ve to eat ice lollies :D! Because, drinking lots will help settle my stomach but drinking a glass of juice might irritate my stomach more (hense the throwing up water disaster of yesterday), SO ice lollies or ice cubes are to be eaten to get round that problem. Also, i got both The Pill and Meds at once, so no trip to the clinic for me =)
Then I went back to the house for a bit for lunch with the boys in my life. (Fra and paws that is :)) I got plenty good-luck hugs (and kisses XP bleagh) from paws before I headed back into town to wander for a bit before going to paisley.
In my wanderings, I went round several places and even tried on a pair of shoes I might go back for.
Then I went to paisley.
and it turned out that the room number that was on my timetable was wrong D: but then I found a super duper shortcut to the new room! And got questions on my exam that I could actually answer with some sort of competence! And I finished early with three complete short essays and was offski.
I went to a few more game shops on the walk home and found The Sims 2, Pets expansion pack preowned for super discount!
So now I’m home, I had an ice lolly, Im going to have PIZZA and play sims!

I am taking a break from studying to write this, because just as I was getting into it my pen stopped working and I think I might lose the plot entirely sometime soon.
Earlier, I spilled my tea everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE, my whole chair was soaked and the floor surrounding and all under the desk and all the stuff under the desk and all the plugs and my new boots. All tea covered. :/
Oh, and that was the last of the milk so I couldn’t make another one.
Even earlier the wee dude came to give me my new laptop! Finally! Right? No. It’s broken and he said to just “call the helpline” and see if they can fix it.
So one week to exams exactly what I need is ANOTHER broken laptop.

Yesterday feels so long ago. Yesterday was awsome, we went to see Speed Racer in the iMax! SPEED RACER! It was brilliant.

And the night before, Garry’s second flatwarming was good, and in general it was a good weekend.
All of last week really, spending time in the park in the sun, and out shopping with Fio and Kat. Oh the sun is so nice.
We went SHOPPING, I bought a dress and boots, they are very very sexy.

But It’s one of those days today, and I can only hope that it’s not going to be one of those weeks.

I’ve had many years of nonsence over a lack of urgency about exams. This, I tell myself is because I know better and can see outwith The Infinate System. Actually, it’s just because I am the “it never rains but it pours” type - and reading over some sociology notes is never high on the Urgeny List.
My exams are officially the 20th and 22nd of may. Good. I have one essay to do and I wont go into all the bullshit uni is dealing me right now withe their epic incompetence and fail - including Advisors that don’t actually send the important emails on your behalf that they need to, a complete absence of information about re-sits that I’ve been trying to dig up since january and tutors on holiday during choices and hand in season when they’re ment to be signing your forms and hand-in notices so that they’re considered official..
ANYWAY
I got a letter through for Jury Duty, oh goody, just what I need! Another dose of little forms to fill out and many badly conducted “official” goings on by paper and phone during my exams.
Also, I’m finally out of The Pill, so I’m having the my first period in about a year and a half - excellent.
Lets not even start on the Hospitaly goings on, they don’t know why their endless little charts aren’t helping me be more zen and less anxiety ridden *rolls eyes* and will be referring me to other departments and trying “other approaches” - how about talking to me about something other than what I eat? Or, listening to a word I say instead of insisting that I need to make another chart?
*sigh* I don’t know.
I don’t need this.
To top it off nicely, our flat is a STATE, AGAIN, but I’ll be buggered before I clean the kitchen for the fourth time in a row while nobody else bothers. Exam season, fair enough, is a time of more important things, but COME ON *cry* it only takes 20 seconds to wipe down the counters (I know this, I do so often).
The bathroom is shameful, but again, I do it lots. I know I always do this, I’ll crack, again, and blitz-bleach everything. But I feel bad, like if I could hold off a little longer MAYBE someone else would do it? (oh initiative and not by organizing some stupid straw-pulling type thing and fannying around with dates to do it by and whatnot. JUST CLEAN)

How did this turn into a house-nazi-esque rant? OH, because fretting over the petty stuff stops me melting down over the big stuff. I remember now!

So, here I am in bishy,  lounging around untill my aunties b-day dinner… and watching the horror channel.
I always forget how much I missed this chanell - there’s so much vampire related crap on! XD Right now I’m watching “Vampires Anonymous” which is an okay subsitute for Vampire high but not quite as flimsy and more staight forward lame. There’s something nice about a vampire comedy though, as rubbish as it may be.

I want to get drawing damnit! But Im in pishybishy.

BWAHAHA, the vampire just ate a rat, and it was like “CRUNCH… squish..” And it wasn’t a sappy “I musn;t eat humans becuase thats bad and so i’ll eat rats and wallow in my sorrow instead”
it was a “Im fooking STARVING…. oooh a rat…”

First off I would like to formally thank, and also apologize to every tax-paying citizen in of our country whose council are buying extra Christmas lights instead of building wheelchair ramps into librarys because they can’t afford ti due to the government throwing the money at emotionally irregular students instead.
I know it’s a corrupt system, and I’d rant about it endlessly but the facts are that I was awarded just over £2000, yes, thousand, to buy a new laptop.

Also, Clares b-day last night was rather awsome =D shame Lynsey couldn’t stay longer, but we are troopers and had order-in food and watched Mock the week and made it a party worthy only of the nearest n dearest ;D

So.. easter…

It was all good, spent time with both repective families, got together with Judy and Fio aswell <3!

Went with Judy to see Sean Lock and Russel Howard at the Glasgow Comedy Festival, it was AMAZING. There are actually no words, I’ll just need to post that photo of Sean Lock in his Riddler Costume and that’ll sum it all up.

Uni’s a big gay baby.

So is SAAS.

And I’ve discovered the cure to all pains in infact to search “Bunny” on youtube.

Myself and Bry watched The Mighty Boosh in it’s entirety over the last week or so. It’s one of these things that never appealed to me, not my kinda thing and I’d just not get into it. But actully, it’s brilliant! And I will turn my back on anyone who doesn’t think so too!
