I've just noticed a typo in an old post of mine.
Excuse me, minions.

Epic Fail!
MY VOICE IS GONE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(
On a lighter note though, I am feeling much better now! I just don't sound an awful lot like it, however... :P Now, if I may continue with the negatives, or rather, funnier part of today, I completely and utterly embarrassed myself at work today. Unintentionally, I called one of the managers unattractive... :P Here's how it happened:
1. So, we have these new jumpers at work, and for some reason the managers have taken a liking to them over their suit jackets. Anyway...
2. One of the managers on duty, Aaron, came over to speak to my female colleague and I. She commented on how she liked the new jumpers, and I said that I wasn't overly keen... After all, I have a thing for men in suits! ;)
3. Aaron took that in the wrong way, and started to smile and laugh. In an attempt to cover my tracks, I foolishly dug myself into an even deeper hole by saying:
"Oh no, I didn't necessarily mean that I find any of the male managers here attractive!"
Ouch. That must have hurt. Seriously, you have NO idea how bad I felt after... Yet at the same time, it was hilarious! :P To make matters worse, he then decided to tell Adam, the other manager on duty. I honestly felt like going to hide behind a rock, and by the time my shift ended, I probably resembled nothing less than a beetroot. Ahem... :P
I don't think you need any further explanation, do you? No.
Good night grammar geeks! :D

ARGH!
Sooo, it was my first day back at university today... AND I WOKE UP FEELING INCREDIBLY ILL! :( nevertheless, I struggled through and still enjoyed my day... Ha! Take that, you weird cold thing! I WILL have victory! :D
I've spent my evening creating a new background for this blog. I hope you all noticed? ;) I simply LOVE playing around with Photoshop! It puts me in a good mood once I've got the end product. For example, when the lovely Rosie stayed at my place last week, we spent half of our night editing photos of James. Now he has his face plastered onto a picture of Harry Potter and we warped his face so it looked like Mario! :P in a seperate picture, of course; a Harry-Mario-Potter-James thing would look very scary indeed! ;)
Anyway, we now have to keep a weekly blog for one of our seminars. I'll probably just use this account, so don't be surprised if you see lots of posts which don't make a lot of sense... Haha! :P
In other news, I'm really into Robyn at the moment. She has the voice of a beautiful flower in my opinion! She's a very talented lady indeed! :) I'm actually listening to her as I'm writing this!
Enjoy my updates, my darling freaks! ;)

I'm in Luton, biatches!
Yeah, you heard me alright! This bird has flown the coop once again back to the land of university! I'm incredibly excited to see what the second year has in store for me... Hopefully it won't be too difficult ;)
It's been amazing to catch up with all of my Luton buddies, especially now the esteemed James (a.k.a. Hamez, Hazza P, Dr. Who... etc. :P) has joined me at the world of Cine! :D my new house is fabulous, although I have to admit, it was rather messy when I first arrived... Thanks, Ben & Kelly! xD But everything was soon fixed, and now I've settled in just fine! :D
I also have two brand new additions to my family - two absolutely gorgeous little Russian Dwarf hamsters! :D here they are, warming up to their new home:
Aren't they just the cutest things ever? The light grey one is called Otis, and the darker one is called Spud, courtesy of my lovely boyfriend! :P
Ugh, I've got work in about three hours. But I'm not complaining really - I'm actually looking forward to spending time with my work buddies! And then the awesomeness that is Rosie Khan is going to stay over at my new place tonight once I'm finished at work! It should be a good laugh! Although, I've failed to tell her that she's banned from drinking coffee while she's here. She's probably going to kill me now, the little caffeine addict that she is! :P mwahaha!
That's all from me for now. I'll keep you updated on my course over the next few weeks! :D yay!
Peace out, fellow freakazoids. <3

Never take life for granted.
That's something I've realised more than ever during the last couple of days.
The world lost a beautiful soul in Catie Glennon this weekend. She was such a bubbly, outgoing and fun person to be around, with so much potential. She was just going into her third year at UoB... such a waste of a young life. Although I wasn't an incredibly close friend of hers, I knew her well - not only did we attend the same university and share friends in common, but we also worked together for a number of months at Cineworld. It's crazy to think that we were often mixed up if people saw us from the back, yet now she's no longer among us. I've got a distinct memory of her from one evening at work - I'd taught Natalie, another fellow colleague, how to make origami cranes. As we made them together whilst sitting behind the box office, Catie and manager Adam Rose came over. After a few strange looks and remarks, we all ended up singing "The Bird is the Word" whilst dancing in true Peter Griffin fashion. The Catie in that particular moment is the Catie I'll always remember. Rest in peace, and I hope you're in a much better place now. xxx

Howdy ho!
Why must I always leave it so long in-between blog posts? Ah wait... that's it. I'm just so forgetful haha! :P
I've just noticed I finally have my first follower... Thank you Becca Taylor! :P it's nice to know someone is reading these, haha. So what's new with me? Well, for a start... I'm no longer a fresher at the University of Bedfordshire! :D I can't believe a whole academic year has passed already! Ok, so it's not as long as a school's academic year, but hey... it still counts! :D I've really enjoyed my first year as a journalist and I hope I continue to enjoy it in the next two years. :) I'm looking forward to going back to Ashford for the summer, but I'm really going to miss my Lutonian buddies from both uni and work! :(
I'm really excited about this weekend, though - I'm going to the Capital FM Summertime Ball with Lewis on Sunday! :D so many artists are playing throughout the day so it's all very exciting! I can't wait :D Speaking of Lewis, I'm waiting for him to arrive in Luton at the minute. He should be here soon... I hope :P
I handed in my last assignment for the year on Tuesday morning, which was a massive burden off of my shoulders to be honest! My sister came up to Luton for a few days to stay over too, which was lovely - we enjoyed our time together! "Who invited you?" :P
Tomorrow is my second to last shift at Cineworld Luton for four whole months :( although I love my buddies back in Ashford's Cineworld, I'm really going to miss the friends I've made up here! They're all so great to work with and so much fun :)
Hmm, I think Lewis should be here within about fifteen minutes. I'd better leave this one here for now :P
Until next time, fellow grammar freaks! ;)
(Although, maybe you aren't grammar freaks. In which case, I've just made myself look like a complete numpty. I'm just going to shut up now. :P)
...love you all ;)

Well well well...
Hasn't it been such a long time since I last blogged eh? Hmm... rather a lot has happened since November to be honest! So here I go. ;)
December came around and we had a little Christmas party here in Flat E. The emphasis being on "little", as not many people actually turned up. Ah well... there was more food for us, so I can't complain! :P Of course, I went back to Ashford for three weeks during the Christmas period, which was lovely - I got to catch up with all my family, friends and old work colleagues! Although I must say, the journey home and the journey back to Luton in January were not at all fun... the heavy snowfall in the UK just happened to occur over BOTH of my travelling dates. Argh! I survived though. Just. ;)
And then we move on to January... ugh, possibly one of the worst months of my life so far! I came down with glandular fever as soon as I got back to Luton and was ill throughout the whole month. I even had to go back home for two weeks while I recovered - consequently, I missed out on quite a bit of university work and ended up having to live on £85 for a whole month due to my absence at work. Boo! :(
Fortunately, I recovered just in time for my 19th birthday, and travelled back to Luton that evening... but not before celebrating a little with my family, of course! :P I received loads of lovely cards and prezzies from everyone, and Lewy got me tickets for a day out in London and to go on the London Eye - something I've always wanted to do but never have done! I can't wait until the summer when we can finally use them! :D thank you everyone! :D
February was really a hectic month by my standards. I had a lot of work to catch up on, and I was in a race to get back to work so I could actually earn some money. Living off £85 for a whole month proved to be extremely difficult, but I managed it! It also occured to me a few weeks ago that I actually really like living in Luton. Sure, the place has its rough edges, but what towns and cities don't? I've got so many great friends here, I love my university course (shorthand and all :P), my work colleagues make my working days fun... I could go on, but I'm not about to sit here and bore you all. :P
One more exciting thing happened this month... I managed to get a house for next year with Ben and Kelly! :D I can't wait to move in, it's really spacious for three people and we've all got double beds... which is something I really miss from home! It also means that I won't have to suffer the damned fire alarm going off at unsavoury hours of the night anymore... YAY :D
Right, I think that's everything covered. Hope to speak to you all again soon! :D
