Slightly Insane - because everyone is....

I told you that we were to see Bill Bailey last months.

It was quite fun, and now we can laugh about the situation, but it was very annoying at the time, and I wasn't such a happy bunny!

We had had it arranged for around half a year but that didn't seem to help!

Adam was at work, and so as soon as he got back, we set off to Birmingham, picking up a friend on the way. It only took us 2 hours to get there, which on a Friday night is very good! We arrived at 5.30 pm, and had until 8pm until we were to get there so we were happy.

We had something to eat (though basically it was a burger without the Bun as our friend said he'd have food ready, and he didn't!)

We waited around for a while, I tidied up his living room (it was a tip!) He went to pick up a friend that was coming too, and finally it was about 7.30 and My friend gave us our tickets and said we were going. I looked down at the ticket and said "The doors opened at 6.30, not 8! It STARTS at 8" to which he replied "yeah I know, we have enough time"

We all rushed around getting ready. He told me he'd preordered a taxi, but Adam then told me, he'd only done it as I'd ran out of the room to get changed. We waited until after 8 for the taxi but it didn't arrive, so we went in the car. He didn't even know here the NIA was, so we drove around, looked for signs and then followed them.

The parking was HORRENDOUS. Really very bad. It took us half an hour to park, and in the end we did so illegally. Looking back, we should have waited for taxi's, as we may have been late but wouldn't have had to find parking spaces.

We got into the NIA at 8:50. 10 minutes later Bill finished his first set, and his second set was only around 30-45 mins long, so we missed basically the whole of the first half, and the majority of the thing. We were all very stressed.

When we got back to the car, we found parking tickets on them, thus Adam had to pay a £30 fine. (he didn't look happy at all)

Then My friend didn't even know the way back to his own flat as he doesn't drive. I couldn't have cared since I'd printed off doirection there and back just in case anything happened, but he'd told me the NEC not the NIA. He tried to use the sat nav on his phone (which he pays extra for, though I'm not sure why since he doesn't drive) so we spent an hour or more driving around aimlessly trying to find where we were supposed to be going. Then the two cars got split up, but thankfully we got back together.

Then we were all starving due to the fact the food he'd promised had been shit when we first got there. So then we ordered pizza, and were given an hours waiting time. Then he'd knocked his phone off so when the pizza delivery turned up (at about 1pm) they phoned him, couldn't get through and thus went back. Finally after 2 hours we got the pizza. It was actually horrible, thus nobody ate much.

I decided I'd had enough and went to sleep all curled up to Adam, eager to go home the next day.

Even though it was stressfull, it was actually quite fun really, now we look back on it and laugh. I know from now on, that I should never leave any organising to anyone else as it always falls down around us!

Anyway, that's about it. I think I'll go and put some washing on, as I'm fast running out of clothes!

I said in my last blog that I would post a blog about the stupid things that some of the girls in some of my classes have said over the past few months. Some made me bite my lip so I didn't laugh, and others made me want to put my head in my hands and sob openly about the stupidity and the ignorance of these people.

I'm not always sure they always are as dumb as they play up to be, but these things were said in earnest.

Enjoy

In Pyschology:
Girl 1 - Neurotic; doesn't that have something to do with porn and sex?
Girl 2 - No you mean erotic. I'm sure neurotic people enjoy sex too though.

Prof - Because often we hold back our inner thoughts, and personal information about ourselves when we first meet people....
Girl 1 - I love talking about myself to everyone

Girl 1 - Even if Milgram explained that we can all obey and do like, majorly bad stuff to people, I still think Germans obviously have problems. Have you heard them talk English? It's horrible.

English:
Girl 1 - So we have a prime minister and his name is Tony Brown right, and he lost some disks with peoples details on it. I don't care, why does everyone else?

Girl 1 - I want to be in parliament when I'm older. I think I'd be good at talking n stuff. I really care about issues, I even put 20p in an oxfam collection box.
(Later in same lesson) So what do people in Parliament do? Do they write the newspapers?

When asked why one girl said Wuthering Heights seemed unrealistic, one girl replied:
Girl 1 - Cathy would not love Heathcliffe because he's ugly. I cannot love someone who is ugly, it just doesn't happen. That is why it's unrealistic.

During break talking about breast size
Girl 1 - would you rather have really big boobs, or small boobs?
Girl 2 - really big boobs, it's just better and those girls have more fun, and boys like them
Girl 1 - yeah, you get better boyfriends who are hot and have cars when you have big boobs, otherwise you get ones that just work and are brainy and boring
Girl-with-brains - I'd prefer to have small boobs, as then you know that boys want you for your personality and who you are rather than your breast size. Also People with big breats can get back problems and stuff so It's not worth it.
Girl 1 - Right...... (when girl with brains had gone) Oh My God was she stupid or what?

There are more but I can't think of them at the moment!

I'm sorry that I haven't been very good at writing my blog. A lot has been happening at the moment and so each time I thought that I would come on and write a new blog, I decided against it, as then I get addicted and the million and one things that I should be doing get pushed out of the way. I promise to be better (I can remember saying this a few months ago too..... not good!)

Anyway, to bring you swiftly up to date:
When my my Aunt's wedding and it was very lovely. Nice family get together. It was the first time my boyfriend Adam had met my family, and he survived it very well! I was told that I wouldn't have to make a speech even though I was the best woman as it were, but I was pushed up to talk. I stood up, said I wished them well, told Raymond that he had made my aunt so happy, and burst into tears and had to sit down.
I was rather embarressed but was told it was a very nice speech and many of the peple there had begun crying with me, so well done me Unintentional but good non-the-less!

I carried on with my studies. I seem to be doing quite well. I'm hoping that this time around I shall do much better. I still don't know many people at the college as they seem to have split off into their gtroups quite quickly, but I'm not truly bothered. Most of them seem to be too intent about looks and bitch behind their "best friends" back anyway, so I'm better off out of it. I laughed loudly the other day when I'd spoken about my boyfriend with a friend called Rhi, and one of the girls said "Oh My God, she actually has a boyfriend." I obviously don't cut my hair enough, wear enough revealing cloths, and too often wear the same jeans too days in a row to be considered as "hot" or "fashionable" by those girls.... I think I might have to post a blog on the stuid things I have heard them say which makes me either laugh or want to shoot them for their idiocy!

I had my 19th Birthday Party which was rather fun. Played such games as musical statues (for a laugh to remind us what it was like when we were 5) and got quite tipsy. One friend jumped out of the ground floor window and managed to twist his ankle and so another friend mum picked him up and took him to AnE Thankfully he was ok but it was stupid. It's because he was trying to show off to Rhi. She wasn't particularly impressed!
We also kept doing a lot of shots so everyone bar myself ended up being ill. My house only has one bathroom, yet thankfull there were black bin liners and green plastic garden waste bags for everyone to use Highly handy when there is only one room. Other than that there wasn't really any misshap except for the Biro on the cream leather suite, don't know how it got there and there was a lot of it.
After my boyfriend rushed out early on Sunday morning to get some £40 biro remover, and some cheap hairspray (My Aunt had suggested that. She's always handy to phone in an emergency!) we managed to get it off of the sofa, much to my relief as my mum is a lovely person, except when faced with something like that! In the end the hairspray for 20p worked better than the actualy remover. oh well! it was off and that is all that mattered!

At the end of november we went to birmingham to see Bill Bailey. Oh that was a very stressfull trip. Needless to say a lot of stuff happened, so I will have to write another blog about it. But looking back now we laugh but at the time it was so stressfull!

Anyway, this was just a quick blog to get everything up to date.
Now I'll go and see what everyone else has been doing in my absence!
