My first guests

I had people come round today! :D
Its the first time anybody has come into my room exept my mum and my sister (and university accommodation staff people) so that was pretty cool. It was my student small group thing (part of the CU), and luckly my room was amazingly tidy. Extreamly luckly, I don't think my room has been this tidy on a Thursday ever. (The cleaner people come on Wednesdays but I swear its good atm even for that)
I mean when people say a bomb site they just mean messy, but often enough my room really looks like a metaphorical bomb went off in here. But yeah, good times all round.
As I had an abundance of spare time this week, I also drew a picture for my brother, because he's pretty awesome and he needed a picture. I thought it turned out pretty good. You should go check it out, if only to prove you you actually can.
I also finished kickassia this week. :) that was a pretty epic aniversary vid. Did you know (for all of you who know what I'm talking about - TGWTG ) that that is the real President of Molasia in the video, acting himself?! Apparently he's a fan of TGWTG and said they could do a film in his nation. Anyway, yeah, it was pretty good. And it gave me yet another potential film to add to my 'to watch' list, although I'm not sure yet.
yeah, sorry that this isn't the most epic of blogs, its just not muchhas been up atm. I've slept a lot more and done less work. I finally managed to beat two other newbies at fencing (although I got wiped out by the next guy, and the next person cheated by being left handed)
And I'm nearly out of bacon, which is very sad.

Best... Weekend... In-a-long-time!!

Sorry for the overly long post today.... I've done much stuff.

(Also, as a header, I'm serious about the molemen thing, there have got to be more. If you know what I'm talking about read on.)

I was Gonna give you a structured-ish list of what I did this weekend, in a sort of relevance/importance order or something, but forget it. I can't do that because I did so much and it was mostly all so cool. Also, sorry if Gonna comes up with a capital G, its just my "Global AutoCorrect" software refuses to allow it without one, on the grounds that it is not a real word, but it's what I say and I want to keep it that way so there. Who says "going to" anyways.

•Anyways this week end I got a bit battered up but managed to win both matches that I played in an event which must never be spoken of out side of the CU weekend away is basically something involving fighting people. Only cooler. I have a grazed elbow.
•I also went through the top hole in a giant spiders web without touching it and alerting the spider to our teams existence,
•Watched the fairly awesomeness called Avatar, (ok so that was on Thurs, but it was still this week) [Deviation which was a good all round film, but as an after thought, it really didn't match the hype. The Bum (Chester A Bum, look him up ☺) was right, pretty pictures don't make a great movie. Nevertheless it was still cool, and another win for the "SPOILER" team. :) good times],
•Stayed in a Gilwell Scout lodge thingy with the Loughborough CU guys.
•Found 'the nostalgia chick' via watching the nostalgia critic reviews ferngully.(yes that was also during the week, so this is now things I did this week. Deal with it.)
•Helped in guiding and extremely over-crowded ship (that mostly resembled 3 planks of wood) with very weird steering( it could only ever move at 90° to itself) to a treasure island, whilst avoiding the shark infested waters. I was going to (Ok I said it. I'm sorry for being a hypocrite)
•Saw a massive pyramid of chairs that someone has stacked up during the night in the dining/meeting hall. It was quite impressive.
•Of course I did not help stack most of the chairs into a massive pyramid at 3am in the dining hall.
•Found the awesomeness called Linkara via Tv Tropes. (Under 'a wizard did it' aka when something inexplicable is explained as magic, so it needs no explanation. One of his video's was down as an example of this. He has a very cool hat♥)[yes, I only did that because I wanted to include a link] Although seriously I'd say we have another contender for the cool people who's hats make them cooler list.
On that note, I also started compiling a list of molemen and was surprised to only find about 4. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has any other suggestions than Auron, The guy from Atlantis, The professor and Mole, then please let me know I am interested.
•Found out about Dr Insano, from linkara's vids. LOL
•Had good Bible teaching/seminars/worship/ect at the CU weekend away!
•Played much ninja. That game is win.
•Played signs. Likewise but ninja is probably a little more win, as it involves hitting people.
•Had a movie night in the chaplaincy.
•Played Mafia, and was the mafia. (:S I didn't do so good)
•Won a game of cheat.
•Met/got to know loads of really cool people, a lot of which I can actually name.
•Found someone else who likes the Princess Bride.
And most recently
•Watched the truly epicness of epic called "Toy Story 3", If you haven't seen it, go and see it now. It was good. T~T
Well I'm supposed to be getting an early night. (which didn't really happen) and I have lectures and shopping to do tomorrow (I've mostly run out of food, happily for me the CU weekend away had bread going spare, so I can eat sandwiches :D )
'Till next time
DFTBA.
On the grounds that I really nearly said it of my own accord in different letters. Seriously thought, keep being awesome and have a great week.

After the fight

Some of you may have been wondering 'so what was the outcome of that truly epic fight you were going to have with that calculus test?'. [Ok I don't think any of you atcually are...]
This is what really and truly happerned last weekend (with alot of poetic license):

Boss Fight

Well this is it guys, tonight I don the knuckledusters of last minute cramming and attempt to beat the everloving snot out of the online calculus test.
It feels like the whole fortnight has been building up to this one event, its the boss at the end of the level. Tonight one us is going to get thoroughly beat, and I'm really hoping its gonna be Calculus.
Admittedly if it were right now, I would be out for good in under a minute but that can all change. right?
I'm gonna use the fact that atm I can't do a thing to lull him into a false sense of security, and when he least expects i-BAAAAM! I hit him with 5 hours of solid cramming. He's not gonna know what just happened.
That's what I want to happen.
Although I have a tiny sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind that calculus is going to wipe the floor with me. But hey.
At least you (would) get a cool training montage (if this were a movie).
On the other hand, win or lose I am going home tomorrow!
2:42
I can't wait. Its a great way to mark the end of the whole fortnight, where I can bask in my success/ slink off to nurse my wounds. Its gonna be good.
Anyways, wish me luck guys!

And in case on that small off chance, I don't make it;
I just want to say,
y'know, we've been through alot together... good times... dull times... but we were always a team. I... I love you text box! Ok? Don't forget me man. Keep on textboxing for always. T-T

*********update 1*******
Round one goes to calculus.
This just got serious guys. The MidLifeCrisisJacket is out.

*********update 2*******
Alas! I was distracted by the skype call! This does not look good!

********update 3********
I am gonna get so creamed. It's half one, I'm still only on limits and this stuff is real hard. :(
I started out so well as well. Its half two and Calculus sucks.

Wednesday, 10 November 2010

No post today. I'm not distracted. I am working.

Yeah sorry Guy(s) this is a bit of a chaotic work fortnight. Not much updates for the whiles.
If I get time I'll edit this, but really I'm just being distracted from 'death by overload of work'.
Or I might just continue to be really distractable and forget all the work.
Yeah.
work.
A small update, as I'm getting really bored. I've done 'well its got to be at least half' of my work in Excel 2010, and then I read the instructions saying:
"The submitted work must be in Excel 2007 format"
"earlier versions will be penalised"
I guess I'm just too cool for them. Still its a bit of a downer. Added to the fact that the questions keep asking me to do weird things I haven't come across before. I don't want to risk all my courswork on the word 'earlier' so I guess its an early morn' trip to le bibliotheque tormorrow to convert my work. Bleh.
The moral of this? Never start your coursework the night before its due in, because then you can't ask people about what they did. And read the instructions I guess, because apparently they do say stuff you don't know.

Its not that I don't want to talk to you today, its just if I start talking not about work, I'll feel like I'm well and truly distracted, and I really need to finish this work....
Nearly there! Man it feels good when it suddenly clicks what you're supposed to do.
Only 2 'clicks' left to go.....

Golden Syrup

Seriously, the work here never ends!
I was waiting the whole of last week to get to this week, and now this week comes and it turns out this week is going to be worse, and I have coursework (which I haven't started yet) due in tomorrow. That's tomorrow as in Tuesday the 9-6 when do I even have time to hand this stuff in tomorrow. I'm a gonna have ta take a pack-lunch or something.
On a different note, Chicken with ham and melted cheese inside it is pure awesome in taste. yes, I went shopping today, so now I have FOOD! I had kind of run out of food (except for pasta and rice and stuff, but it gets pretty boring on its own after a while) and breakfast cereal. Combined with the fact that having to cook you're own food takes effort, this meant that I had started not really eating so much. As in plain ol' pretty much not eating. Or at least only twice a day, but as a diabetic I'm aware that I'm really not supposed to do that. Sorry to everyone out there who tries to make me into a good little diabetic person. It didn't really work out like that last week.
And sorry for the lack of kindof crazy convo's ever here. I dunno what's up.
I was going to talk about how a good ol' tin of Lyles Golden Syrup would make a pretty good murder weapon in terms of discreteness, added to the fact that its rather heavy, but in reality it wouldn't really work. Its too stubby to get any good momentum when you went in for the swing, unless you had a handbag or something. In which case you might as well stuff it with rocks. Also although it doesn't look that unusual walking round with a tin of syrup, (compared to, say, a gun) its not the most discreet thing either. People might ask questions. Thus I conclude that a tin of golden syrup would only make a good murder weapon if it was spur of the moment, and you had a good handbag. Otherwise I would have to say that Mr Dahl had a pretty awesome idea with the frozen leg of lamb. Genius.
May I also say "Please don't kill anyone with Golden Syrup as an experiment, you'll make me feel bad."





Although apparently Golden Syrup would make a pretty good "weapon" if you can bring it to life.

(I feel really bad for calling it a 'weapon' now. T~T you can't call the toffee monster a weapon, its not his fault! He just wants to be loved!!!)

i have work to do today.

A bit tired, and having done no revision for my upcoming tests yet, now feels like a good time to do more 'not revision' and blog some.
As a breif update for any of you who know 'adventure man', (and that would be at most about 3 of you, in the unlikley event that all 3 people who know about him will be reading this, unless in the future he becomes a really big thing. I doubt that) It appears his battle with RevisionClockOfDoom is nearly at its end. What will happern next? Will it all be plain sailing from here?
I don't even know. It wouldn't really work to make a 3rd RCOD, as it feels about as unlikley as John McClane ending up in another 3 terrorist based situations after already saving everyone from one in 'die hard'. I mean I think everyone's going to make sure that RCOD is pretty dead this time, if and when he dies. I'm assuming he does, because otherwise adventureman would have lost. And that can't happern. That guy is too cool.
I also ach a little bit because I have just started fencing. It was pretty good. I died quiet alot in the first lesson, but the more you practise, the more you can not die. That would be cool. *imagining epic sword/fencing fights*
anyways, I don't really have time for any hypothetial convo's or anything today as I have work to do.
bye.

Introductions

Hello. My name is Ruth, its probably nice to meet you.
Not really, as in I may never meet you, and if I haven't met you already, I probably don't want to either. Its just the polite thing to say and all.
In case you hadn't noticed, this is a blog, and this is the first post.
Thanks for reading it. Even though I'm not exactly trying to attract a kabillion people, its nice to think that somone has read this, and that they even looked at the first post (if I have written more that one that is) so thank you.
I didn't get much sleep last night, and I have alot of tests coming up this week, so yeah. I don't know if that affects anything but I'm shattered, and slightly stressed at upcoming tests I have.
Anyway, content and stuff. I think most of this is going to end up with all the things I want to say, but there's never a good time to say it in a conversation.
Like what it would be like to name your child after letters in the Greek alphabete and stuff like that, but I'll probably end up complaining abit as well,because its nice to chat to you're friendly neiborhood textbox when you're feeling a bit down.
So if I start talking to the text box, you'll know what I'm saying. If it makes you feel better then that can be you're nickname. So if I say "Textbox" that's you ok?
Good times.
I should probably go and find some more coffee or something. Blegh. i just got all the biscuit crumbs that reside in the bottom of the coffee cup. I'm pretty sure that no one likes them. If you are strange and you do, leave a comment or something, because I would be interested to know if anyone does. Weirdo's.
So yeah. Bye.

[listening to Jack Johnson, drinking coffee, feeling tired and stressed. Life is good eh. :) Coffee and JJ makes the tireness and stress feel kinda fuzzy, and less sickly.]
