its been ages since i wrote here.
i saw Iron Man earlier on today. it gave me the same butterflies in my stomach that Transformers did.
i loved it like woah! it was a very sexy movie.

well minor news, i got my wii. it's great. i play warcraft too much... oh well. i have been very emo and weird the last few days. i'm hoping its going to be over soon cause can't function right.

i just ordered myself a nintendo wii. woo! i am such a copycat.

i am also doing well on my diet. one week and i can feel the difference not eating junk food.

also, i am really bad at replying to comments and whatnot. sorry. i shall catch up with everyon who omments when i get in from work!

sometimes you have to ignore your own suspicions, paranoia and even logic and just take what someone says at face value. especially when it makes you feel good about yourself. and right now, i am a happy bunny.

well anyway. yesterday the swansea college was pretty much closed and most of our lecturers were on strike. of course we were told to come in as usual, and then told oh, no lesson today, your teacher is out on the picket line. grr. so i got up early for nothing.
however... :) i am damned glad i did.
i decided to go into town and pass the time until the afternoon (when we would have had a lesson cause our other lecturer was not striking cause she belonged to a different union). i was texting michelle when a guy from the Phones4u shop asked me if i wanted to see if i was eligible for an upgrade. i figured it'd be a way to pass some time. well it turns out that my contract is just ending anyway, and they found me a new better contract that costs me less and gives me more, and i get a new phone free to boot. so now i am the proud owner of a samsung u600. i kind of miss my old moto v3 with its big keypad for the following reason..

for the first time in my life i have nail extensions. it's impossible to text, type quietly, undo my own piercings, apply makeup without making a mess, or pick money up off a flat surface. but ooh so worth it. i think if i have the money, i'll have some nail art done.

i also had a brilliant phone call with michelle. we really really need to text eachother more often.
i can't wait to move to portsmouth. michelle has said i can stay with her while i job hunt (yay). and when i have found my own place i can get my doggie. i hope i can afford to live on my own. finding a flatmate would be alright i guess. but... to me on my own. it would be new and different.

okay in warcraft news (cause you know i have no life) i have done a major big purge of all alt toons i just don't play. got rid of about 10 i think. three off my main server, two off the pvp server, two off the other radon pve server i played on for about 5 seconds, two off the backup pve server i dump all my toon that i just can't delete but don't actually want and one off the rp server. mad.
on my main server i was going to delete my paladin, then i logged in to get all the stuff out of her bank etc and i was reminded of why i hadn't already deleted it. so yeah, i might level that toon a little.

so i started back at college after two weeks off. eeek!
my assignments are done except for one two week diary, which i am writing for these next two weeks. phew. thats a massive weight gone.
now its just practical stuff. one of my lecturers has written a list of the things i need to get signed off for now. so it doesn't seem so daunting, but theres still a lot of stuff i need to do in the next two months.
i know i have a client today so hopefully there'll be something else i can get signed off.

i worked loads over the easter holidays that last week i did 10 days without a day off. doesn't bother me though cause i did get lazy mornings still. so i am hoping for a yummy big paycheque in two weeks. the bank never got back to me about a loan so i'll have to call them again.

warcrafty ramblings
i have rediscovered my undead priest. i think horde side i have tried every race/class combination that even vaguely appeals to me and i can't get along with any of them. i 'want' to have a mage. but deep down the thought of a toon with no heals is scary. so i am back to my dead girl priest. although i have discovered that elemental shamans are totally op i took my 32 taruen shaman (recently respec'ed) to stv and was taking out the level 36 orges easy.
but yes. i am back to my priest i think i am just going to stick with her although one my shaman hits 40 and i can respec back to enh and get two daggers maybe i'll have a change of heart. at this popint though. i am seriously considering just deleting all my toons under level 10. and freeing up space on the server again for 'new' toons.
oh and i transfered my hunter to runetotem. i don't want to play that toon, but i don't really want to delete her either, so that seemed the best option. she had 19g on her and i considered taking that, but i have alts on that server too, so i figured at least they have a bit of funding.

this was on the wow_ladies comm (and was deleted pretty quick - not exactly wow related is it)

so far today i have eaten a bowl of special k, a glass of apple juice (not from concentrate) and a cup of tea.
for lunch i had eggy bread with cheese in it. the bread was wholemeal granary, and it was cooked without extra fat. i also had a muller rice pudding and 3 slices of chicken ham (not ham cause it was all chicken, but you know what i mean).
for dinner i ate another three slices of chicken ham, with a couscous salad and another muller rice thing and another glass of juice.
throughout the day i had 3 cups of coffee and 3 cups of tea and i'm about to make myself another tea and an options hot chocolate... and a bagel.

thats terrible. i started so well.
on the other hand. i waled to the bank and back again this morning, and then this afternoon i went on a walk with my dogs.

i guess it could have been much worse.

yes i obsess over food.

tomorrow i plan to eat juice and special k for breakfast again, i have smoked salmon to use up so maybe have that in a sandwich. and i'm not sure about dinner, i think its lasagna.
and while i am at work i will NOT buy any snacks or chocolate or anything liek that. dammit!

i have spent the last week or so eating junk food. and now i feel like crap. serves me right really.
but why? why the hell did i eat so much sugar and fatty food? i know it's bad for me. i know it gives me spots, makes me gain weight, makes me tired and lethargic. what is so hard about 'not' eating junk? my relationship with 'food' is so warped. logic, common sense, and reason have no place here.


in warcraft news. battlegrounds are fun. who knew. my shaman doesn't do 'too' badly. i die a lot, but i do fair damage, i'm usually about the middle on the ranking board thingie. whatever that means. i'm going to have to mess about with my UI again, since the new patch, i can't seem to see cooldowns anymore. so i have to click a lot. maybe, maube i should consider slinking back to the default ui for a but? i don't want to, i like my pretty interface. but if i can see my icons clearer and will be better at fighting/healing. then it might be worth it..

i have been playing on my old druid (the first toon ever) on a pvp realm, and you know what, its fun! i fixed her talents, ran a few dungeons, healed (oh my gosh druid healing is love! HoT heals are fab and combat rez *drool*), earned some gold, and started fixing her gear. i plan to level her to outland then maybe, maybe transfer her to my main server to be with my shaman.. maybe i should try tanking with my druid too? i better read up on that cause i have noooo idea.

ok. time to make myself a cup if tea and go read.

you know what really annoys me. when your reading something and the author or writer blames any nonsense, bad spelling, and general crappyness on 'being ill' or the 'flu medication' or 'being feverish' and that they are sorry for what their mind might come up with while under the influence of said things.
no really! if your 'that' sick you need to get the hell off the internet.
if they said, 'i'm tired and sick and my typing is sloppy and i can't be bothered to correct it', then that would be ok, it's honest.
but really, it's not clever to write anything silly and then go blaming an illness like flu for giving you a delusional mind (their words not mine). if it was really the flu, you wouldn't even be able to sit at your computer.
what you have is a mild cold, and your medication is probably bog standard ibuprofen and being silly to show off that you're ill is not cool.

ok that's my bitchfest done.
also, wordpress is a pain in the ass. i wonder if movabletype is any easier?

oookay. change of plan. i'm 'not' leaving college. one term left. i need to work hard to finish my work on time.
i have homework to finish over the weekend then that's all the assignments out of the way. /cry

i have lots a bit of interest in playing warcraft. its the gold grind for my epic flying skill.
although that firefly vanity pet dropped for me today which is very nice. no i will not be keeping it. i'd rather have my little sporebat (that i don't have yet cause i am still working of my sporeggar rep)
warcraft wont let me log on again now. well thats ok. the server was having a hissy fit earlier on anyways.

oh dear. i have so little to say its not even funny.
i'm going to go back to reading now. i finished reading Feet of Clay (terry pratchett) pretty quick. i found that book really good but very sad. the whole golem situation was very tragic, and i know it was supposed to be kind of light hearted, but i couldn't help but get upset and certain parts of the story. well i have moved on to Men at Arms now. another 'Watch' related story which is a shame cause i'm not keen on the Vimes charatcer and when its about regular people Death isn't in it enough for my liking.

warcraft:
my respec to resto was short lived. you seriously can achieve nothing while resto. i was a squishy as hell and frankly i did not heal any more efficiently. i think a serious amount of practice is on order so i shall be leveling my baby shaman as elemental so i can get used to playing a shaman as a caster. then i'll go ahead with a respec. i enjoy healing, and i want to be resto. it's just not practical at the moment.
i have begun the long and painful gold grind for my epic flying skill. gah.

college:
on the verge of quitting. basically i am just waiting for my manager at work to say that i have have full time hours. i feel really crap about this and it's the source of my constant headaches.
college is a waste of my time because i will never use the qualification. oh i enjoy learing how to be a hairdresser but when it comes down to it. i don't actually like the idea of cutting or colouring a total strangers hair. but i would have liked to see it through anyways out of principal.
but i really really can't afford to. i have taken to not answering the phone because i know it's someone who wants money off me. i had wanted to go back to portsmouth over easter but there's no way that's going to happen.
besides if i am not at college i don't have to wait till half term/end of term to go anywhere which is a bonus i guess.
i know that leaving college is the right thing to do. hell i can always do that course again later on in my life if i must. but i feel like a quitter. like i messed up real bad with this one.

diet:
meh. i had pie and chocolate yesterday. but it was sunday and you gotta be naughty sometimes. other than that, it's ok. i'm still not exercising enough (... not at all...) whoch really would help things along. but the main point is really, i am not gaining weight and i am losing.. veeeery slowly. better than nothing.

web design:
later on this week i need to have a good look at my websites and figure out all the places where the code isn't valid. if i'm going to try to be a serious web designer i really need to work out the validation thing. /cry
