When shit happens...is it really shit?

Howdy! This is SO totally tomorrow from my last blog post, I didn't skip any days, I swear 0.0

I must say, I'm rather liking this...posting one blog per month when I get bored...really makes them seem special. However, unlike most of my other blog posts, this time something HAS happened! Not just SOMEthing, MANY things!! Hallelujah!

Where to start? Well for starters, we're on holiday now. 2 weeks of blissful sleeping in, gorging on food, hanging out with my sister at home and mates outside of said home. I must say I do enjoy these breaks as it does bring me and my sister closer together since...for want of a better way of putting it...we are left to our own devices. It's really fun andwe usually do something cool (making pancakes at 4 in the morning, trampolining for 3 hours, watching Aliens). Going to see the Krewe at PH's house tomorrow, should be a larf, though LM and AG won't be in attendance. I really feel that after the madness of the last couple of weeks, things are starting to get back into a normal rhythm.

OH YEAH! I forgot, the madness. To put it bluntly, the two relationships within the Krewe ended. HS and AG, and BC and LM. The latter I, and most others, were shocked at. There had been no prior indication at all and it came as a huge surprise, at least to us. After this, about a week later, the former split up. This was slightly less unexpected, but still something of a shock. I must admit he was a bit of a tit in the way he ended it, "we need to talk" and "It's not you, it's me" being to of the no-no's he insisted on using. But from the ashes of these two relationships have sprung the seeds of new ones, again within the Krewe. I have to admit I admire LM and AG for how they are going about things, not letting anything get to them and getting on with their lives. Good on ya guys.

OTHER BIG NEWS - I HAVE A CAR! That's right, I am now the proud owner of a 2001 Silver Peugeot 206. £1,800, every single penny of which i have to pay back by doing odd jobs around the house and hopefully getting a part-time job to help pay for it. It all started the other day when my provisional license arrived. Apparently mum had been texting and emailing me all day, though i hadn't recieved any of them. Got home to hear my name being shouted about 50 times with the license being shoved in front of my face. I didn't read much into it and thought "Great...now the long slug to May" before Dad, in his usual instantaneous way, decided we should go to a car auction in Northampton. The atmosphere there was exceedingly hectic, with a whole host of 30 year old wannabe-car salesman bidding on just about everything. After about an hour of searching and seeing cars going for ridiculous amounts, we headed to the in-building cafe. I went up to the counter with my brother and ordered some chips. When we returned to the table, mum told us dad had gone to the toilet. So we sat and ate. However, about 5 minutes later, we saw him coming back and through the window, we saw some paper in his hand. He rounded the corner and revealed that hehad just put in a bid for the peugeot worth about £5,000 and won with his first bid. I was stunned, and ever since i've been on a sort of fast track learning program as he tries to instill in me how a car works and how to drive them. The car is out on the drive and it is a beauty. Nearly no work needs being done to it, the fuel economy is fantastic, it did 5,000 miles in the last year...it's perfect.

Now the 2 1/2 month slog to my birthday...with the car sat there tantalizingly on the drive; mocking me.

So what else am I doing on my holiday I hear you type. The answer - tidying. Yesterday began Operation:Getthehousetidyoriwillbefuckingpissed. Mum and dad's new plan to get the house spick and span. We are re-moving dads office from the garage back into the dining room turned office turned games room. We've already cleared out the spare room/little office upstairs before refilling it with ebay'd stuff from in the games room, which til now has been used as a storage room for dad's...crap.

Hopefully that should be over soon and I'll be able to enjoy the holidays properly - the krewe meeting tomorrow and football on thursday with JH and HS should be fun and get things back to normal.

So other than this, not much is going on. School is ok, decided i have to pick up my act for next term having looked at entrance requirements for University, which i am absolutely crapping myself about. I've started listening to this band recently called Sabaton. They're a Swedish heavy metal band and while i don't usually listen to that sort of music, they sing about wars and stuff. I am REALLY interested in war, probably stemming from my grandad being in the RAF Police and my uncle being in the Royal Marines, and i find all their songs really interesting to listen to. They have songs about the 'Polish Thermopylae', the battle in world war two where 700 polish soldiers withstood an assault by 50,000 german troops for days, a song about the Panzer division - germany's tank division, and another about the falklands war.

So that's my recent history. I've decided im going to take the example of one of my friends and do a 'My day' blog every couple of days instead of these long ones every month or so, seems like a lot more fun to be honest.

Incidentally, i'm also going to start tagging posts, so enjoy that too ^_^

Yours
Me
