Horny Horny Horny...

ARG!!!!!
8:00 in the bloody morning on the first 'official' day of my holiday and I don't need this, some idiot outside thinks it's clever to have a novelty horn on their car which plays La Cucaracha at a million decibels and someone else keeps replying by sounding his horn too, just please let me sleep!

He’s Got A Brand New(ish) Car…

I’ve forgotten to update this thing yet again so here’s a quick recap of the past week or so.

Last Sunday we did the pub quiz at the Fieldhouse again, this time with 9 people in our team and after a bit of cheating we came 2nd which is an all time record for us.

On Monday Adam got a new car, keeping in mind I don’t know much about cars it was an 18 month old Fiesta with a 1.4 thingy and it was red. In the evening we all went to Carl’s house and played on the computer. It was boring.

Tuesday I had college, I couldn’t seem to wake up properly and after realizing that I couldn’t do my photo shoot due to there being no macro lens so I decided to help everyone else with theirs. Just before I went home Jazz managed to cut her hand on a pair of scissors in the film loading room, it looked quite deep and really nasty.

As soon as I got home I fell asleep in the chair, a couple of hours later when I woke up I quickly had my tea and went round Gemma’s house, we then caught a bus into town. On the bus there were some sharons singing along to their Destiny’s Child ring tone and then it got worse as one of them had an MC Hammer ring tone and starting to sing along to that.

When we got into town we walked down the piss steps to Bar Academy, it was £2.70 a pint in there which is a bit of a cheek seeing as it’s almost half that price next door at the Academy, although it could be because Danniella Westbrook served us and she has to earn money somehow seeing as she isn’t in Eastenders anymore.

As we were leaving Bar Academy the security bloke came up to Gemma and started chatting her up, he asked her where she goes on a Saturday night and if she comes here often, but as nice as it was to see true love blossoming I was hungry so Gemma and her security bloke had to say their farewells and we went for a McDonalds.

For some stupid reason though after McDonalds we couldn’t get in anywhere and the Sputnik Bar that we wanted to go to had blasted off into orbit and doesn’t exist so we spent the rest of the night walking around town, we did spot Helen’s car as we were walking round, for some strange reason she had flyers under her windscreen wipers.

On Thursday me and Adam went to Carl’s house again, but this time I took some photos, after everyone getting very annoyed with me taking their photo we went home.


On our way to Carl's house.


Still on our way to Carl's house.


Nearly there.


It's Carl! Check the hair!


It's Adam!


I came 3rd place.

On Friday I went to Adam’s house, he had rented out Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind which was very strange and Finding Nemo which…wasn’t, when I got back my mum and my sister were both asleep, I don’t think they even noticed I’d been out.

I was watching the local news on Saturday and the local post office round the corner from me had been held up by armed robbers...scarey!

Today I was going to take some photos of Adam’s new car for my project but I left it too late and the weather was crap so I left it. I doubt we’ll be going to the pub quiz later as Adam cant be bothered and I cant get there easily…oh well.

Wash In the Rain...

I found the skeleton!

I wanted a skeleton to photograph as part of an anti-smoking thing on Tuesday, however I didn't know where to get one. When I got to college I did a bit of asking round and eventually managed to get hold of this skeleton of a Bangladeshi woman. It…sorry 'she' was very wobbly and I was worried her arm would fall off, eventually though she kept still and I took the photos, there was quite a funny moment halfway through though when my tutor managed to fire a flash off in his own face.



After college I walked into Solihull in the rain and got Gemma’s Kerrang for her as she was feeling too ill to go out, after a quick bacon cheeseburger I walked down to Gemma’s house and got soaked along the way, Gemma gave me this wristband which says ‘www.letskilltheothers.org Midlands 853’ apparently the 853 is some sort of fan club for The Others.

I then went home for my tea and then went to Carl’s house but I had to walk from Solihull in the rain so I was soaking again, Ralph’s just bought himself an X-Box so he hooked his X-Box up with Carl’s and we had a team game with one team upstairs and the other team downstairs, after about half an hour though I was too tired and couldn’t keep awake so we lost.

Wednesday and Thursday were pretty boring really, today I went into college, I was almost late because I overslept but managed to get there on time, so far since we went back after the summer holidays I haven’t been late yet…touch wood!

Picture This…

Oops! I’ve been meaning to update this damn thing for days now, so I'm going to be quick and get it all over with.

2 Fridays ago I went to see Saw with Adam, Carl and Jo - who had come back for the weekend - I was expecting the film to be a big steaming pile of horse poo but it was actually really good and if you haven’t seen it yet I advise you do so. After the film we went back to Jo’s house and watched Raising Arizona, it was a really good film and I’m thinking of buying the DVD of it, I loved this one line in it where this bloke goes into the shop to hold it up and says to the man working there:

“do these balloons blow up into those funny shapes?”
“not unless there’s something funny about a circle”

…well I found it funny!

The next day I went to the Flapper and then onto the Academy with Carl, Gemma and Helen, on the way to the Flapper this weird and possibly drunk Irish bloke started harassing me for money, I gave my usual ‘I need to use a cash machine’ excuse before he pointed out that I was stood right next to one, in the end after fearing losing an eye or something worse I gave him £1 just to leave me alone, he then got less threatening and started saying I was a good man and something about heaven or Devon or something and then he moved onto Carl and tried the same thing on him.

The Flapper was full of the usual underage CKY fans, and even had a decorative puddle of vomit by the downstairs toilet, after a while we decided to move on to the Academy, when we were leaving the Flapper we heard several bangs which we just assumed were fireworks, the next day on the news I found out that they were gunshots.

I got into the Academy for free because it was my birthday weekend, by the time we got there I was already exhausted and really wanted a sit down, it must be my old age.

On the way back we had a retard of a taxi driver, I’m sure he was drunk, he kept talking crap in a foreign language and clapping his hands, he then drove us to Selly Oak which he thought was Solihull, after redirecting him towards Solihull he tuned to Gemma and said “Zobba?”, Gemma then says “I’m sorry but I don’t know what that is!”. When we finally got back to Solihull he tried to charge us about £20 but we paid £15 and said we weren’t paying any more than that.

Last Monday was my 23rd birthday I got woken up very early because my mum wanted to say happy birthday to me, after a strong black coffee and a few minutes to refocus I opened my presents and cards, my sister got me some expensive shower gel, my mum and dad got me a digital camera (which came with a free APS camera) and some chocolates.

I spent the whole day wandering around the house trying to photograph my cats before giving up and photographing my CDs instead, in the evening I was going to see the Holiday Plan at Bar Academy but I was so tired that I slept on the settee until late.

The next day I had college, it was ok, I decided for my next project that I’ll be doing band photography which should be fun, after college Ashley found a polystyrene head and a toilet and had an idea for her next photo shoot which I found rather funny.

Wednesday I went to the pub quiz at the Red Lion in Knowle with Adam, Bobby and Andy, Adam called the team ‘8 balls’ it took me a good few minutes to work out why but as soon as Andy worked it out he had to go and draw a vulgar diagram on the answer sheet.

Friday I had college again, I’ve had to start doing web design again which is a pain in the ass because I did a course in web design a few years ago, although Larrie - who is my tutor for both photography and web design - was studying web design on the same course as me a few years ago which is a bit weird.

After college I decided to spend a bit of my birthday money, I bought Blondie and Morrissey’s greatest hits albums from the sale in HMV and then had a bacon cheeseburger from McDonalds which was yummy!

Yesterday my dad came up for the day, we went for a meal at the ‘refurbished’ White Swan in Wythall, it looked exactly the same as before apart from a slightly different bar. In the evening I went to the pub quiz at the Fieldhouse with Adam, Carl, Ralph and Kirsty. We didn’t win even though Caroline was marking our answer sheets, I think Ralph’s idea of calling our team ’With Caroline marking the whole quiz has gone to pot’ maybe wasn’t such a good idea.

Today I’ve been rather lazy really, I came online to find that someone had added me to their MSN, I didn’t recognise the e mail address but I added them anyway, this afternoon they logged on, it turned out to be Ruth who’s phone number I had lost and hadn’t seen or spoken to for years.

College tomorrow…I need to find a skeleton!
