zomg nearly the end of the year.

a whole lot has changed since i last posted lol.

well i am eighteen now, i don't look it but thats okay. i got my danelectro for my birthday. i came home from uni on the thursday (which was my birthday) hungover from the night before at fat sams. i went to see frightened rabbit the night before and sally and her pals came through. it was really good. then they all went home and i went to fat sams nightclub but had to wait an hour before i was 18 cause the bouncers were being mega wide. so when i was inside i actually got so drunk because people kept buying me drinks. i met the lead singer, kyle, from the view too and then i spewed. anyways. on my birthday i went to my brothers awards night and then took my grandad for a pint. then on the friday we went to edinburgh and i bought this sweet vox amp. then on saturday my family came and visited me and i got loadsa money and things.

i've been spending my time being 18 going up town and getting drunk a lot (or so it seems for my family). so recently i went up the town with my cousin scott and calum martin from work. we went to rileys and then to pjs. it was a good night. hannie took me and showed me her chickens lol. on xmas eve i also went up town with some people. it was a good night as well. i ended up going home and watching 'the notebook' with sally (:

xmas was really good. i was pretty hungover haha. i got my titp ticket though and a tent, a sleeping bag and also a bottle of sambuca. it was really good seeing everyone at work too and my family. aw well. on boxing day we went to the garvock again for my grandads bday, then to edin where we went xmas sale shopping.

i am still working at the halfway though. i seriously need a payrise or i am going to have to quit cause i'm not on enough cash. new topic: i totally miss school. well not school but i miss the people. i haven't seen leroy in ages and everytime i talk to him, it seems we fall out. i seldom see natalie and when i did, i made an arse of myself by telling her ''i don't know who you are''. then i never see kieran anymore cause he's at glasgow. it just sucks. so much has changed now just because we never see each other. i didnt think this would happen but looks like i was wrong.

soon i get to go back and read everything that happened in 2009.
can't wait.

well, what can i say? i'm at university now. literally enjoying it so much. i have settled in perfectly and made a great bunch of people already: elliot, angus, cori, blair, stuart, bryce, rhys, andy, adam etc. freshers week was amazing to be honest. i drank so much, socialised so much and just partied myself out. freshers week was tits: i didn't think i'd actually enjoy a silent disco as much as i did. the first night i got to uni actually, flat fourteen were having a party and that is how i managed to make friends with everyone in the flat below (just so i don't forget). i remember bryce took the piss outta me for ages. now i am getting right into my course and for once, i am enjoying the education side of life. uni isn't really what i expected to be honest, i haven't seen many girls that take my fancy or there aren't many people will similar interests as me either but this has changed my perspective on the way i judged people and everyone seems to have great personalities anyway. i have still been coming home every weekend to work and do some driving lessons, i have my test next month (27th november). i am also seeing arctic monkeys next month, the 24th which i cannot express how much i am looking forward too. i have been going swimming every monday at uni so far with robbie which has been quite fun, tommorow we're going to play badminton though. i am missing so many people from back home and it's really crap. i feel like i haven't seen natalie or leroy for infinity years although i saw them last saturday. so this blog was just a quick update to ensure everyone that i'm doing good at uni and remember the things i have done so far. goodnight. x

subject: my dad.

my dad is probably the most tempermental person in the world, seriously. about half an hour ago, i was watching television and he storms into the room. he looks down at me, seeing i am eating a packet of crisps, then says, ''what a surprise, mark hasn't asked for a packet of crisps again'' and then i replied ''well actually, i bought these at the shop''. then i thought his snap at me was over, it wasn't. the next thing i hear from the kitchen is, ''who left the milk here?''. then he comes storming into the living room telling me to wipe it up, claiming i am so messy, when i didn't even realise that i had made the mess. then he continues on his rage when i retreated to my room, he came into the bathroom and sighed. then, again, choosing me as his victim, claims that i made the bathroom a mess and that i had to empty the bin, even though i have my own bin so i use that and not the bathrooms. so he's going completely mental by this point, he's shouting at me and exclaiming how i never do any housework for him, even though yesterday, i did my mums washing, hung out the clothes to dry, the dishes and cut his grass! i'm not even joking, my dad does nothing around the house. i have never ever seen him lift up the hoover, i went into his room ten seconds ago and his bin was full, he doesn't do the dishes or lift up a cloth and wash things. he is the definition of lazy, i admit that i am sometimes lazy and that i'd rather jump off a cliff than do housework but i do a hell of a lot more than him.

i cannot wait to go to uni to escape his tempermental attitudes!

hi creepy stalkers who want to know everything about me. recently i have been feeling up's and downs. the other night, for example was a down. i went to velocity up the town, i was hopeful for a good night though. i wrote on my twitter that i was maybe going but i had noone to go with, so then eve left me a reply saying i should come cause quite a few people were going, so i did. what made the night so dissapointing was that i was sober, for starters. everyone i was with had been drinking before so i was the only sober one. i was also kindof isolated because everyone that i had initially wen't up with split up into little groups and i wasn't sure who to go with or sometimes i couldn't find anyone so i had to stand and watch some of the bands by myself which was terrible. another thing which lowered my expectations of the night was i was surrounded by drunk, out of control neds, which made me feel scared and unsafe. especially the creep who kept shredding daggers at me all night. crayons (shock i have talked about them again in a blog) were quite good though, they played a new song which was good. i ended up going home early because the rest of the bands made my ears sick.

anyways. today was quite good though, i got a lot done. in the morning, my dad made me walk to robbie's house so i could give him a piece of paper which had details about his leeds ticket on it so i had to do that. then i came home, sorted out some online banking stuff i had to do. then i began writing some cv's as well. at one o clock, i had a driving lesson, which was okay i suppose. i really enjoyed my night best. i went on a massive cycle, all the way through to kingseat and around the loch fitty and it was just a fun, nice night. i also bought humbug yesterday at two minutes past twelve. i was awaiting the night team at asda to bring it out, although i had downloaded it illegally i still bought it. probably the best album of 2009, so far.

just a catch up.

hello again (if anyone reads this). recently i have done quite a lot so i suppose i better jot it down before i forget it all. i was in florida last week which was quite fun. me, my dad, my brother and hayley all flew over on a seperate day from my mum cause she went earlier or something like that, too confusing. the flight on the way there was fine, i just slept, listened to my ipod and watched some family guy with my brother. i stayed with my auntie in a place called kissimee. i can't remember all the things we did so i will just write about some of them. we got passes for universal studios // islands of adventure so all my family went there one day. the highlight of this day was when i went on the rollercoaster 'dualing dragons' and managed to make my ears bleed cause my head banged about so much. another day when i was there, we went to the beach. this was one of the best days. me and liam kinda were together the whole time and we wandered away from everyone so we could go on a walk. on this walk, we discovered a little patch of sand (like an island) in the sea which we waddled out too and the water was so warm. then we found these crabs which lived in grass away from the beach which only had one claw and there were hundreds of them. then we saw a massive turtle (quite possibly the coolest animal in the world). then we went back to our family, to where they were batheing. i went golfing a few times on this holiday, thinking i'd be crap but i ended up hitting the ball quite far and by the third game i had hit a total score of 89, which is the best i have ever hit, even better than my dad did [maybe]. the crap thing about florida in the summer is that at night time, there are frequent thunderstorms and you can't go in the pool so there isn't much to do at night times. lucky enough or sad enough for me, i brought my laptop so i chilled on the internet but the time difference sucked cause everyone was usually in bed. another day, me stephanie and liam all went to universal on our own. this was the best day of the holiday i reckon. we were standing next to the most hilarious man in the world going into the terminator ride and he was getting all excited saying things like ''omg i feel like i'm in my favourite movie'' or ''omg spynet, this is so cool'' or my all time favourite ''i'm such a nerd but i know it''. he was a genious, he was a walking talking reality family guy sketch. so i can't be bothered to write anymore about florida but it was a good holiday and my last one with my parents. moving on to my exam results, i didn't do as well as i had intended but i still managed to get into university. my mum was very dissapointed in my grades and she fell out with me for a bit. i don't want to talk about this because i'm in a good mood atm and bringing it up will only make me sad. so me and robbie have been on a very many good cycle recently also, we cycled to crossford and through limekilns one night. i loved the scenery. last night, me and robbie were out on our bikes again and robbie got a text asking if he wanted to go up the glen so me and him cycled up. we found some of our friends at the top of king malcolms tower all drinking and having a good time, so we joined them. me, sally, anna and ally walker played a drinking game called '21' i lost. oh oh oh, we saw a meteor shower which was so cool and amazing to see. hannie brought her dog along and it just made me jelous that i dont have one, when i seriously would kill for one (she also has the biggest house ever but i'm not going to talk about that cuz again, i'll just get jelous). we managed to lose fiona and katie, which was scary as fcuk. robbie found fionas bag and we couldnt find them so we thought they had fallen or been murdered or something but it just so happens that they went into 'life'. me and sally went to asda after which was good too. we bought 9p tiger roll bagguettes which were yummy and sally told me all about the film 'the notebook' and all i could offer was a story about how declan and me once killed a rabbit by mistake. then when i was walking sally home, there was a complete creep sitting in the bus stop who popped his head out when we walked past. then when i had to go home, he started walking towards me, i was shitting my breeks so sally phoned me to take away from the thought the man was going to kill me, then she got scared cuz she thought he was coming for he lolz!

now we're up to date and i'm going camping tommorow (hopefully). so i might have some juicy gossip from that and also maybe some photos as i bought a disposible camera. yay.
note to self: look at your twitter if you want more information on your time in florida mark, cause you used that everyday.
