Fuck all has happened :/ I'm just plodding along, work, tv, sleep pretty much.
About the only drama I've had is losing my favourite (and only) lip bar. Just ordered a new one so hopefully it will arrive soon so my piercing doesn't close over.
Ermmmmm.. also Korn Again at the Krazyhouse was beyond epic. First time i've actually seen them and felt like I was at an actual gig and not just there to see my boyfriends band :) Good stuff.
2 days ago Korn Again played Gasworks Bradford again which was great as usual. The crowd wasn't amazing but I think it has something to do with it costing £4 to get in when last time it was free.. plus people could see and hear the band from upstairs anyway haha Then we stayed out for Wizzzzzzs birthday which was cool. Lots of drinks and strobes in a random place :P
Oh and can I just say, I love my baby Dean :) When i came home from work this morning at 6am, there was a big plate of Spagetti Bolognese waiting for me. IT WAS AWESOMMMMME. ♥♥♥
Oh and we're going to Chester Zoo on Thursday for Riks Birthday which should be cool. Can't wait to see Trav n Daisys faces when they see the Elephants and Giraffes XD

I'm a fucking machine!
Well... I've worked 2 nights in Asda so far. Its not too bad, but my whole body is aching! lol It actually hurts to walk cause my legs are so sore :(
Being the 'health & beauty' colleague is a pain in the ass, sorting out all the little fiddly boxes kills my knees lol Although last night my manager put me on the hair dyes and said its the worst one to do but I need to know it and then the person I was working with agreed that its awful pretty much, ....but I loved it haha. Sorting out the boxes and looking at all the colours, its my kinda job :P
Anyway, now to address the title of this blog post.. I'm a fucking machine! :D..
My first night in Asda, 10pm-6am.. and I had a telephone interview at 9.30am on the Thursday morning lol
So basically this is how it went... my first night in Asda was Wednesday, and I'd been up all day cause I couldn't sleep, and did my first 10pm-6am shift.. needless to say I was absolutely dead. So I got home anyways at about 7am, got into bed cuddled up to Dean and fell asleep, alarm goes off at 9.25am 5 mins before my interview lol. So theres me, barely 2 hours sleep aching all over half dead, phone messing up (I had to do the interview in Deans back garden cause the signal was so bad!!) and I managed to pass my Shop Direct telephone interview :D Lunacy! So I have a proper interview on Tuesday lol
Anywho, I'm pretty lonely right now :( Deans got a gig in Exeter with Korn Again and is staying over and I'm all alone in my house.. the night before Easter :( We're actually going to miss Easter this year cause he won't be back until about 6pm :( We're having an Easter week instead though so its ok :)
Bored now lol byeeee

Blerhhh
So I've got a new layout up properly now with a side bar :) Looking snazzy w00pw00p haha I'm in the process of updating the links and stuff. I'm making a complete gig history which is fun, just going through each gig starting in 2003, with the help of Dean ofcourse since my memory is so bad lol
Oh and also, I've ordered some craft stuff as a treat since I had some ebay vouchers :) Got lots of Hama Beads, Ball chain for necklaces and shrink plastic although I thought it'd be A4 but the sheets are tiny lol oh well I'll have fun anyways :P
Oh and what else, ermmm.. I can't go to the Bournemouth gig which sucks :/ Was looking forward to the trip and seeing the Sound Circus as it looks like an awesome venue. Ahh well nevermind, I've been to loads of Korn Again gigs I knew I wouldn't be able to go eventually haha.
Just a bit worried about Dean to be honest :/ Hes back on his meds and last time he got a bit depressed especially when he got cramps n stuff, and usually i'd be the one to comfort him. Also hes been living in mine for ages now so we're not used to being apart. Its not usually a big deal but with it being overnight and him sleeping in the van aswell, I'm just concerned he might need to toilet or something will happen:/ Just have to wait and see I guess, I really hope it goes well for him though :) I also hope Dan actually makes it to the gig in time or the whole thing will go tits up :S lol
Anywhoooo.. ROLL ON MONDAY FOR A NIGHT OUT :) ...I'm going to play with my crafty stuff now :) Traaa laaaaa lol
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to say! I've had a break through. Deans actually read my blog! LOL first time for everything eh :) He said he read all of 2011 so far and 2002 haha Yeah a little tip: Don't read 2002.. I was 12 so you can imagine the hilarity of it haha :P

Uni, Jobs, and other poo
Well, its official.. I've left Uni :/ Not something I want to do obviously, I'm actually quite upset about it but I think its best for me in the long run.
Basically, this year alot of shit has happened and I've been a bag of stress and worry, and my main priority has been making sure Dean is ok, but in the process of that I was so distracted from Uni that I got behind with the lectures and work. I thought I was going to be ok at first, until I assessed the situation and realised I had 4 courseworks (2 group ones) due in less than 3 months, followed by numerous exams, AND I had to find a work placement in that time as well.
So, I had to really think about what I wanted in life and I've came to the conclusion that, yeah I probably could have scraped through the coursework, and possibly got an extremely shit mark for the year. Whats that going to get me? The games industry is extremely hard to get in to, and although there are companies in Liverpool, its pretty clear that I'd need to move away to get a job. And then theres that question, who the fuck in the right mind would hire someone who hasnt got a clue about anything? Yeah I'd scrape by, doesn't mean I know it. I've missed the lectures I don't know what I'm doing. I know bare essentials of the programming languages, the placements require someone with a grasp on them, which isn't me right now.
Looking at the bigger picture here, I'd waste 4 years of my life costing approx 25k, to then get a job in a supermarket or a barmaid or something with a degree which means nothing. No thanks.
My situation now is, I don't have as much debt, and I've only wasted 2 years instead of 4. But to be honest, its not 2 years wasted because I've learnt alot about computers/gates etc and about myself. I'm glad I took the route I have, and anyways, I have the credits from the first year.. maybe in the future when the time is right, I could go back. Barry and Anita have both done it, aged 30+ so why can't I?
And looking at the even bigger picture, me and Dean NEED to move out in the next few months. We need a stable environment and we need money. Thats not something I can give in Uni, especially when its in the back of my mind that I could be working instead of scrounging off Deans Asda wages. Dean in Asda, and me in uni, we wouldn't get benefits and my student loans would be reduced because I'd be living away from parents, so its almost impossible.
I just wish people would see it from my perspective for a change, instead of seeing me as a failure. I feel like a failure enough without people reminding me every time they look at me. I wish I'd realised this a year ago I really do, but unfortunately a year ago I didn't, because a year ago me and Dean were fine. Dean was well and we wern't looking for a flat back then.
The way people need to look at this is, I didn't CHOOSE to lose my job with Littlewoods, I got made redundant. Everyone around me (Except Dean) kept telling me to go to Uni and I thought it'd be a good idea. It didn't work out, its not for everyone and right now its just not for me in my current situation. But as I said, maybe in the future.
So, now after clearing that up, what next? Well.. Littlewoods are looking for people again, I've rang and am waiting for a reply. Asda are also taking on, so maybe just maybe. Theres a few others, but non really worth mentioning. I'd be happy with Littlewoods or Asda. But haha I'm clearly living in a dreamworld if I think I'll get either of them jobs in this climate. Leahs been looking for months with no glory. Dean has an appointment with ASDA on friday, so hopefully he'll be set up at least. I've also *reluctantly* got in touch with the job centre too so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon.
Erm so thats me at the moment, oh and my Blackberry died. Piece of shit lol Gonna havta reboot it, which I should be able to do myself *fingers crossed*
Aaaaand, oh yeah, Korn Agains gig yesterday was interesting. In Newcastle upon Lyme, in the daytime. Think they had about 7/8 people other than us who they brought with them lol They were great though non the less, and were told by the manager that they'd go down a treat in the night time :)
Then theres Bournemouth on friday and possibly a gig on Saturday. Hope I can go to them, I like going as its a break away from reality if that makes sence. No stress, no money/job/uni worries, nothing.. just me being a tag along haha or would the word be 'groupie' lol. I know it can't last forever but its a nice break away and I'm lucky to be able to go to some of them. I love road trips, I love gigs, I love KoRn, I love the lads from Korn Again, I love photography, and I love seeing Dean on stage. So, yeah, the gigs are epic haha.
Erm, nothing much else to say really. Oh, me and Dean successfully cut down the massive trees in my back garden :) They were about the touch the telephone wires which would have caused loads of shit, and plus the sun was hidden so we thought fuck it lets do it haha. Managed to cut them down to a nice size so they're still there but they're nice and neat :) Theres a massive pile of branches at the side of the house, which is actually bigger than the trees themself :') Gonna put them into garden bags today hopefully.
Oh and I made some RAINBOW DREADS :D They're gonna look amazing. Hopefully putting them in on wednesday or thursday :)
Peace. out.

Update :)
Wellllllll shits be up the wall lately :/ Deans not been too well so hes been living in my house for the past 2 weeks nearly. Need to get in touch with the hospital but they never ring back, the NHS is just a joke :/
I'm happy hes been with me though :) Its like being on holiday but being stuck at home haha The past 2 weeks have been spent watching lots of films, eating yummy food, playing games and cuddling. Can't complain really, and if i could i wouldn't because its been fucking awesome :) I love him so much, just hope things get better for him soon.
So, yeah, I've not been into uni much either. Got sooo much catching up to do, I just need to settle down and get in done before I fall too far behind. I have faith in my abilities though, just after xmas I realised I had maths coursework to hand in, with a week to learn what Vector and matricies are and do it, and got 100% :) and I had 2 days to write and do a presentation, and was in the top 4 highest marks out of everyone *proud* But yeah yeah, I know I can't keep doing it like that ...it'll come back and bite me on the ass eventually.
I've wrote out a massive action plan of what lectures I need to watch and the tutorials I'm gonna do, so Its just a case of doing it now.
But anyways, enough moaning haha. Today is a momentus occasion... RUNESCAPE WILDY AND FREE TRADE ARE BACK!! ♥♥☺♥♥
I haven't signed in yet, I'm waiting for Dean to wake up to see if he wants to come on. Then gonna buy my members back and plaaaayyyyy. I'm so excited hehe I'm such a geek I know, I love it though.
Oh and also, in more awesome news, KoЯn Again are awesome :D They played Revolver the other day, and it was truely epic. They've managed to find a promoter, and now have loads of gigs coming up around the UK! ☺
I went to Stes house the other day too with Dean while they had practise and then headed to The Hangman in Chester, but that was a disaster :') First of all, the organiser just wasnt around at all, and the sound guy told them they were in this reallllly small room where no1 would even see them, so reluctantly, they set up. No sound check, and the PA was smaller then a laptop haha :') Then, an hour before the doors were open, the organiser arrived n was like "why yous in here, I want yous on the dancefloor" SO, pack everything up, and move to the other side of the venue. By the time everything was set up, it was open and people were standing there watching them with confusion.
Then they did small soundcheck, and the sound was awful. So bad, it hurt our ears. After alot of fiddling, and the soundguy turning random knobs to see what happened, it was sorted (ish), and the band took a small break. About 45mins later they went on, performed 2 songs and then more problems started pouring in :')
First of all, the sound was different from the soundcheck anyways, Deans guitar strap kept falling off, and then Lewis broke a bass string, and then Deans amp kept switching on and off! After alot of fuddling about, they took a 20min break and the organiser got another 5string bass from someone he knew. So they continued to play, hoping Deans amp wouldn't go off during a song. They finished with 5 or so songs, and then people who worked in the place worked over randomly and starting picking up gear and moving it into the hall :') cause thats really safe... haha So yeah, thats it pretty much summed up haha So funny, not so funny for the band though understandably haha.
Right, I'm going to wake Dean up now.
OK Dean did'nt want waking up so I've found time to say this aswell..... Periphery gig tomorrow wooooooooo :)
