5:44 pm	So, I haven't posted in a long, long time. And I don't plan to write regularly in here in the near future. I just don't have the free time anymore. Just and update then! Jas and I are still seeing each other after a year together, and I'm happy as Larry (he was a happy fellow)! We've had our ups and downs and I just love being with her. I feel completely at ease in her company. I can imagine myself being with her when I'm old and grey. But... Sometimes I worry about how she feels. I will go to Japan if I pass my interview next Tuesday for 7 months. And she can't take it. I can't tell her what she doesn't want to believe: that I'll come back and still want to be with her. And I do believe it. I can't tell her for certain; I don't know what the future will turn out like. But I know, more than I do about anything else in my future that I will come back and still want to be with her... As for my interview for Interac...I'm a bit nervous, but that's to be expected. A 3 hour interview; video-taped, a personality test, a grammar test, lots of forms and a 6 minute sample lesson. I don't get nervous in front of large crowds, but I do when the next year of my life depends on an hour of my time...  Wish me luck! Current Mood: Nervous as hell! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:18 pm	I was Troy, she my Achilles  I'm so moody right now. I'm in a general despondency with bouts of random anger and self-hate. I've been putting off having it out with Helen for too long, I needed to do this so that me and Jas could really be. She's special and I wouldn't have done it for anyone else. It'll hurt for a while, but I'm sure I'll wake up one day and it will barely hurt at all.  Current Music: Guns n Roses (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:21 pm	Damn it Ledger! I don't usually post to LiveJournal anymore...not enough time really these days. But this...Heath Ledger was one of my favourite actors. He died today. I mean, he wasn't a role model or anything to me...he was just a damn good actor, and I just wanted somewhere to say how much I'll miss his presence in the film world.

8:14 pm	It's a Star Trek Reunion!   Welcome to New Orleans! What the....?!  Eh? George?! Ahem...I mean Sulu...ah, I mean whatsisfaces dad...I thought you were dead! Now I is getting piece of the Heroes pie! Shut up you! I was so good, i'm coming back! ... At least to earn my acting stripes I didn't have to kiss a man named after a past-tense faecal expulsion who had just finished riding around on a pointy eared alien! Well, at least I didn't just sit there pushing one button! Well, screw you! You old hag! Aww, just like old times... I know.... Heyyyy! Shit...

4:33 pm	We're all a little Hero face  Suresh [Voiceover]: Some of us are born with special powers, we have evolved into something more than human. But how will these gifts manifest themselves? Some of us will have the power to instantaneously pull a face of such realistic constipation, they can bend time Some of us will be Dr Who, reborn, but invisible and with retarded self-hygiene Some of us will run away from someone who might kill us, even though we can't technically be killed  Some of us will give us hope...that there is life after a bit-part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer And some of us..perhaps the rarest of all- just won't be able to keep their cock in their pants  Current Mood: Scmuzzled Current Music: Brand New- Sowing Season (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:43 am	I don't usually do meme's, but this is quite interesting... Stolen from Yaz (for more details on how to do thislook at her journal) Interest Rank   1. Child and Youth Worker     2. Stuntperson     3. Outdoor Guide     4. Clergy     5. Marriage and Family Therapist     6. ESL Teacher     7. Humanitarian Aid Worker     8. Addictions Counselor     9. Community Worker     10. Religious Worker     11. Foreign Language Instructor     I included 11, because that's what I'd like to do right now. But I think that's all pretty accurate, I'd love to do 3, 5, 6 and 7 too. And it might be fun or interesting doing 1, 2 and 8. But clergy? What's all that about?! I mean, I'm sure I'd like the councilling/advice side of things, but isn't this thing missing out the small fact of my lack of any religion whatsoever?

1:11 pm	I'm leaving on JET plane...but it crashed before it got here. Yep, I didn't get into JET...again, this year. I don't know what makes me such a bad candidate, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. Damn! Now I have to decide what to do!

10:52 am	Random jiber-jabber I've just been thinking about what I find attractive in women. It all seems very complicated, but I eventually came to the idea that I like the idea of a woman. That sounds a bit shallow when I read it, but it's true. Firstly- anyone who says that looks don't matter is lying. They *always* do, but I always used to say that, because it's hard to describe what you really mean. I mean, I was lying in bed, as you do- and was thinking 'Yeah, I may be attracted to someone who I've never talked to, but I won't "like them', but inversely, I may think a person who isn't as attractive is far more beautiful. Does anyone get me? It's like those scientists said- we may be more attracted to people with perfect simmetrical faces, but we are far less likely to date or marry or truely love them. An attractive person without a personality would still be attractive- but a person you love without their personality becomes nothing; they lose all their attractiveness, and the reason you love them. Good-looks are created by fate. Beauty is created by you. So just remember I don't love you for your perfections, I love you for your flaws.  Ok...back to real life.

Staying in the Piccadilly Backpackers Hostel! Should be fun if I don't have a heart attack from all the excitement before then... ... ... OMG! Current Music: The constant screaming of OMG in my head!

3:06 pm	This is no time...to be arguing about time! Well, the time to write a journal entry hastily disappeared, along with many things after uni. But speaking of that, I'm off to olde Preston town tomorrow for some hardcore walking/drinking with the mountaineers. I'll show those young whipper-snappers how a *true* mountaineer hyperventilates and collapses from the effort of exercise, oh yes!  Ow! I just stabbed myself in the hand with a pen....

11:05 am	The Saints are Coming? *Strange images* Some day I'll actually devote some time to writing an entry again. Suffice to say that I've had laser eye surgery (my eyes are fine/didn't drop out/ was really uncomfortable procedure/ have to wear silly looking goggles at night/have to put milk in my eye etc.  And I saw the new bond movie last night. It was good, but I kept forgetting it was a bond movie. Needs time to settle on both mine and Daniel Craig's sides I think. Good ending, but very long...my ass was grass by the end... Maybe I'll devote a good sess to writing a better entry next week. Oh the life of a corporate slave! p.s. My Jet application is now in the works hopefully (again) so wish me luck!

9:42 am	We have ourselves a merry Hoedown! Well, I haven't updated for ages...mainly because I've been hard at work, and because I don't like posting without pictures. Damn no home internet connection! Anyhoo, still plodding away at work, taking control like the laeather-clad dominator I am...I guess I'm kinda like this picture I took in Preston before I left Yes, just like this gun-nun, people may think I look like a "vegetarian-pacifist" (Keith Cuncarr 2006), but in fact I can kick serious arse when the moment arises... A bit off kilter there, but hey... But, on a complete tangent, I was casually talking to a patient before her taxi arrived at the hospital; the usual "Ah yes, you boy did English Literature? But you boy! Ahaahaaa! I did the world of literature in Stockholm! Ahaha, taxi, bye! [skip]" and next thing you know - Viv, the consultant comes in and casually proclaims "Nathan, was that woman trying to chat you up? You did realise she's a prostitute. right?"...

2:35 pm	Meh... Good lord it's humid here, it's sooo tiring....  8 hours later and I finally get out of work, now only another 36 hours in the next three days :S Well, Yaz's party was good, and I liked having fruit, but I must say that the Persian food did not agree with me at all. But still, it was good seeing everyone again before heading back to the grindstone... At least work is good though, with everyone taking the piss out of one another, it's like a family...awww. Shame so many people are leaving though; Becky, Adam, Shawn, Greta, Dalia. By the end of September I'll probably be head porter though, once Shawn leaves -  and then I can set my own hours. Suck on that...erm...whom it may concern! Oh, and I'm currently applying for the JET scheme again, so wish me luck! I'll get you Japan, even if I have to bomb every major landmass between you and I! ... Although I don't really know what good that would do, but hey, it would have to prove *something*...right?

9:58 am	Quickly, my pretties! Just a quick entry, as, much in the manner of the Muse song, my Time is Running Out. Anyhoo, I started my Job at the Manchester Lifestyle Hospital on Monday, and I love it! I get to run around all day carting patients around and chatting to them, and making sure everything is in order and working. Yep, that makes me a porter! And I have A BEEPER! How cool is that?!  Not only do I get to move around and chat to people, but I set my own schedule, doing things in the order I want to, all of the other staff are really nice, lots of my friends work there in the kitchen (so I get food far easier), and nobody tells me what to do. But probably the best thing is that I sometimes get to go in the labs to sign as a witness to some of the IVF procedures. Working at Kerry Foods in the labs kinda dispelled the 'mad scientist laboratory' image you have of labs, but the ones where I work actually are mad scientist labs, dark places with bubbly colourful liquids, and people creating life through microscopes. Occasionally they let me watch as they put sperm into an egg! ...plus I have A BEEPER!   Current Mood: happy chappy Current Music: 'Standard Break' - Alkaline Trio (1 Comment |Comment on this)

Alas poor Preton I knew thee well, but I shall return soon enough.... And Yaz... clean? Clean! What do you call this I collected up from the common room?! I don't know! Kids eh? Yes wax!

12:34 pm	This ain't no Tutu baby... Reports of my LJ death have been greatly exaggerated! I'm still here, reading your entries and making pointless comments as always! I haven't been making many (any) entries since I left Uni as I now only have 1 hour a day on the library internet! And no loading of my beautiful pictures! Fortunately, I'll soon be back to Preston for a day to see my results and hand my flat keys in (sniff), at which time I'll go on the library computers for a bit of an update! Huzzah! I suppose the biggest news in the world of me is that I got a 2:1 on my degree! Hurrah! Rach told me about an hour ago! and all my coursemates did well too. I'm two for two! Plus! Plus! I got the job at New Look, which, contrary to what some people (Yaz) think, is not the popular womens clothing chain, but the private cosmetic surgery clinic owned by the British Healthcare Group. It's only a porter, but the pay is okay. The bad thing is I need to get a CRB check first...whcih means I can't start for up to 6 weeks! Added to that is the fact that the CRB form I had to fill out went a bit like this... "A pen...a pen I seek...aha! [Finds lovely fountain pen]. Birthdate? ...27/3...[Pen explodes]" So now, I have to ask for a new form...how embarrasing. But props to Justin for cheering me up with his better story of his Eton application form...  Things are alright here apart from that...a bit bored... all alone in the house for 2 weeks... but at least I'm going to a 21st tommorrow in...well, Glossop, but I'm sure it's gonna be good anyway. And all of you keep writing your entries to relieve me from my boredom [poke] Who knows, I may even run a little competition for 'Entry of the Week' Although, I doubt any would beat sinju for the sheer mass of her cool photos this week.... The question is...how bored am I? And I would answer, a lot.... Current Mood: Ecstatic! Current Music: Heart Disease - Obsessive Compulsive (13 Comments |Comment on this)
