Day 007 - 25/09/2009

Dammit. My phone battery died in the middle of the night, and the alarm didn't go off this morning. Result? I missed the coach for the field trip to London today.

To do list:
-Buy a wall-socket alarm clock
-Find a job - Working for Jessops on a 4 hour contract is not sufficient.

You've gotta love students though, haven't you? You know, the people who come to live in your town/city for 3-4 years, make all the pubs "theirs", turn speed limit signs (and other road signs) around for a giggle, move temporary traffic light into the middle of the road, throw up all over the high street, cr@p in doorways, pee wherever they want, park wherever they feel like (although the traffic wardens (or whatever they're called now) are making a fortune at the moment. :) ), drive like aerosols (including when too p155ed to walk), leave rubbish out whenever they feel like it for the seagulls, rats etc, take garden gates, wheelie bins and anything else not bolted down for a walk and leave it anywhere, ideally in the middle of the road or someone's garden...

Rant over - at least there are some pretty girls among them for us old men to letch at while we wait for them to cross the road while the red man's telling them not to.

None in this thread. Get a move on, please, Sean!
 
That looks like something exploded in the microwave :lol: . . . I hope no one wanted to eat it after that accident :shrug:
 
All this talk of food is making me hungry.

Speaking of smoke, what of the fire alarm? Or, has that been sorted out :lol:!
 
ha ha. enjoying following this thread!!!
 
Day 009 - 27/09/2009

Last night involved absinthe.

Yesterday we washed EVERYTHING up. It felt great. I mean, I personally didn't wash anything, but I watched. You know, for moral support.

Had a good old chat with the parents today and I think my mum is feeling as fragile as I am due to a similarly heavy night last night.

Me and Jon chipped in £7.50 each and bought Madden 2008, NBA 2008 and NHL 2008 for Xbox so I doubt our roommates will see us for several weeks.

Today, we're making lasagne. I spoke with my girlfriend last night, too.
She said, "You're just not taking into consideration any of my feelings,"
and I replied, "And nor are you mine."

She was a little bit shocked that I was right, and she's said she's going to lay off a bit, allow me to breath because she understands I'm a massively social person and really need my mates around me, but I've said I'd make more effort to see her.

I think we're going to let it run its course. That's what's needed I think.

Its a bit messy :p

Looks like your having a good time. Well what you can remember of it anyways :lol:
 
Day 010 - 28/09/2009

Easily one of the nicest cocktails I've ever had - Skittles.
Much, much different to the widely known Skittles vodka, with Skittles you put in 1 part blue WKD, 1 part Smirnoff Ice, 1 part Orange and Passion Fruit J20 (could also be substituted with orange Bacardi Breezers). For a stronger cocktail, add in a double of vodka. It literally tastes like you're eating skittles. Strange!

I'm starting to lose track of days! I can't remember what I told you and what I didn't.
The night of absinthe was not all told.

I remembered why my back/shins hurt today. On the way to the other residence the other night, I thought it would be a fantastic idea to run up a bench, onto a bin and jump off. Alas, it was not.
I landed back first into the bushes which received a cheer and a round of applause from the local students.

Last night I stayed in the girlfriend's bed again.
I'm not sure how much longer I can pretend to enjoy sharing a bed with her. It is an extremely frustrating experience as she sleeps in the middle of the bed, and I try and ask her to move, she moves, 10 minutes later she's in the middle of the bed.

I survived the night, barely, and I'm off to my first day of proper work (edit: yes I am joking). A 1 hour workshop followed by a 2 hour seminar :)
Only 1 hour of lectures. All week. Ace.
I have 1 hour of workshops, 8 hours of seminars, 2 hours of IT Workshops and 1 hour of registration/tutorial - 13 hours in total. Tuesdays off.
<3 uni.

Do yourself a favour and invest in a double bed.
 
Don't come to me with your problems sean, come to me with your solutions. I had a very similar sized cupboard to live in when I was in the RAF and I too hated sharing a bed barely big enough for me. The answer was a double loft bed from Ikea. Double bed sleeping real estate with room underneath for your desk, sofa, xbox, porn stash, whatever. Now being 6ft up it made bedroom gymnastics slightly limited, the points on artex ceilings can draw blood from your head, however it does allow for enough shared sleeping space and thus one less thing your better half can nag you about.
 
Socialism, capitalsim, the environment, Bernie Ecclestone, animal cruelty, price of beer, women, the list goes on;)
 
He's in halls which the existing bed stays, and its his gf's room.....not his room...
 
Well I thought his GF was at the same university but in different halls:shrug: She won't want to stay at his because girls are:

A:Shy
B:Lazy
C:Adverse to doing the walk of shame in the morning.

At the minute they both have single beds so she has no benefit in staying at Sean's. If Sean buys a double then suddenly the balance shifts in his favour;) If it's that bad buy her the double bed.
 
Day 011 - 29/09/2009

Yesterday was the fresher's ball. The biggest night of fresher's week. Tickets were £15. At one of the biggest, if not THE biggest club in southampton. Got all dressed up, spent £7 on a taxi, drank a lot of Jack Daniels before hand, spent £10 on drinks in there.

I saw my girlfriend in there. She came over to me and sat with me and all my friends. I'd already introduced her to all of my friends several nights before. She made no attempt to talk to me, even though I was trying to be all boyfriendy by talking to her, hand on the leg/round the shoulder etc etc.

She was texting me to talk to me, so I assumed she felt intimidated by all my friends so to comfort her I was texting her back. I assumed that's what she wanted.

Then we had a massive row in the club. She said I wasn't making an effort, and that I hadn't introduced my friends, and we literally just argued about stuff we had sorted out the night before. It was ridiculous to be honest.
As the saying goes, she was actually making a mountain out of a molehill.

I was very drunk but still able to string a sentence together. I told her exactly how I felt and that she needed to stop messing with my head and implying everything is my fault, because it isn't. I've made much more of an effort recently, doing everything she asked for. Popping down to see her before uni, staying at hers despite the pain it causes (:p), just spending time with her even if it's just a 2 minute kiss and a cuddle 5 times a day.

She said she was going to get a taxi home and that I should go and find my friends but I couldn't. It was too late and the night was ruined. I decided to go home. As I was walking out of the club I felt a hand on my shoulder and Jon, April and Andie were there (my room mates) to see if I was okay as they saw me walking towards the exit. It was all a bit much and I burst into tears outside the club on April's shoulder. I made sure Sophie got a taxi home okay and then had a walk home with everyone which cheered me up a bit.

This morning I went down to see sophie at half 7. I didn't have lectures today so fully didn't intend on getting up until gone 12. I explained to her what I thought and I think it's all sorted. I hope this stuff doesn't happen again though. Several of my nights out have been ruined by her being completely paranoid and irrational despite having had countless conversations and discussions about it. We made sure we were both cool about stuff but alas, I guess things weren't. I don't really know what else to say.

There is toilet roll all down our halls.

That's girlfriends for you, my girlfriend used to get jealous when i was chatting to HER friends who are girls in the pub while she was having a natter with her guy mates because i wasnt paying attention to her!

So she's expecting me to sit there and just look at her talking instead of being social?

Well now i know why she was so jealous and paranoid about me cheating.. (Nuff said)

Besides that I hope you get everything sorted out, one of my best mates girlfriends is at uni and he's finding it hard
 
Day 012 - 30/09/2009

I didn't go out last night, just watched family guy with the roomies.
Made a corned beef hash, pretty impressed at myself!
Had my first digital media lecture today, it looks like it's going to be my favourite part of the course. Started at 9am and finished at 9:50am. Now I'm finished for the day, once again with nothing to do.

I got paid today from Jessops, including a month and a half of overtime - £760. Now my bank balance is £2070 :D My loan has been put in as well but I won't have to pay my maintenance fees until 1st November. Don't worry guys! I won't rinse it and buy a 17-40L!

Had a big long chat with my Dad yesterday about stuff, he's concerned about me and sophie, especially as he knows I'm an emotional and sensitive guy - he doesn't want a break up to occur during important parts of my course as breaking up with a fiance is the reason he thinks he failed his degree.

Cancelled my car insurance and didn't read the small print when signing up so I had a payment due tomorrow which they've taken, plus the charge of £26 to cancel my insurance. Thankfully they've refunded my £50 though so I guess I'll live and learn!
