Just a Quickie

Because I feel like I haven't blogged enough...

Went to a wee party at the weekend, the best bit being of course me meeting The Fuhrer. His name is James and he's a Tory. See, all of this makes him seem like a bad person, but I actually really like him xD He's pretty funny, and best of all he's not afraid to ask for things. Like when we went into the kitchen (and I mean actually went in) of a posh restaurant at midnight and asked if there was any leftovers that they were willing to give us for free xD And guess what, it worked xD We got two massive tubs of potato *ahem* "Gratin Dauphinois" that were soooooo tasty xD

I'm sure I had something else to say but I can't remember what it is...


I think I'm going to see The Dark Knight tomorrow with Matthew, I forgot we'd planned to go xD It looks pretty good, and as long as dead people can act I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Suicide because he's usually pretty good. Even ask Jake Gyllenhaal xD


Got my jobseekers allowance interview tomorrow. Greg says that most of your time there is spent sitting doing nothing and only 10 minutes of it is actual interview, so looks like it'll iPod time.

I wish I'd started looking earlier though, all the shops in town seem to have just hired all their new employees after last year's students left to go on to greater things. The guy in Gamestation actually said that to me, it's not like I'm making this up as an excuse for them not liking me xD He pretty much just came out and said that all of the shops were already doing their interviews or had done them already (Gamestation did there's today, in case you needed to know).

Ah well, here's hoping that unlike Jodie the job centre will actually work for me and I'll get something out of it xD


Anyways, I'm away to bed now, I need to get up at like 2 for this stupid interview and It's already almost quarter to 3 xD

Niiiiiight

News... News... News...

Well it's not exactly news, but I do have a lot to write about xD It probably won't be as long as it could be though because I have 3 films to watch xD

So Friday night was Max's party, and it was damn good xD The boy has a maaaaassive house with 4 living rooms and a sauna... He's minted xD I didn't get that drunk, well I did at the start but I let myself sober up, for once I decided I didn't want to get so drunk I'd regret it the next day, a lesson a certain Ms. Rutherford might want to learn xD At least she didn't throw up :P

His house was soooooooooooooo messy the moring after... Me, Paul, Mhairi, Sarah, Steven and Michael all stayed to help him clean it up and even with all of us helping, when we left it was still a state xD There was about 6 or 7 bags just full of glass bottles and and a good few more bags full of normal rubbish xD I'm glad I helped though, otherwise I woulda felt sooooo bad.

That night me, Paul, Mhairi and Steven decided we'd go into town for our tea and got ourselves a Jimmy Chung's. Everyone made fun of me because I ate so much so quickly, but I was hungry so it was worth it xD Then that evening we all went to the good cinema because Sarah works there and got us all in for free. We went to see Hancock but I didn't mind seeing it again because it didn't cost me a penny xD


Not done much today though, I've just showered and ate something, that's all...

Well, something eventful did happen (as anyone on MSN just now will know xD)... I was in the shower with the radio on and Music from the Movies came on (it's a competition where the DJ plays a song from the movies and you text or email in what movie it's from). After a couple of clues I had worked out what movie it was from and decided that when I came out the shower I would email in just for the sake of it. So when I got out the shower I almost forgot about the whole thing because apparently the whole way through my shower I was flooding the bathroom and the whole floor had a layer of water on it xD I don't know how I managed it, but I cleaned the whole mess up without anyone in my house realising what I'd done, even with the carpet in the hall soaking up a fair amount of water as well xD

Well when I had cleaned it all up and got dressed I remembered about the competition and thought that I might as well just enter it, so I did. The song was Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six by the way, and the clue that put the nail in the coffin (I am loving that phrase right now xD) was "the movie starred Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore". So I emailed the manny saying something like "And the answer iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis... Charlie Angels 2: Full Throttle! Or at least I hope it is xD" and my details, and then a few minutes later on the radio comes "And well done to Iain MacKinnon from Barnhill who is today's winner from Music from the Movies!" xD

I was soooooo happy xD Woulda be slightly happier if I could find someone else who heard him say it, but winning was good enough xD Apparently I've won Ultrabeat's album and Sam Sparro (that's how Amazon spells it...)'s album. Not exactly amazing prizes but that won't ruin my moment :P

So there ya go folks, go listen to your radioboxxes and enter the competitions, because real people do actually win the prizes xD


I'm away to go watch the From Dawn Till Dusk trilogy now so I'm ending this blog on a high :D

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Afternoon tea, pubs, podcasts and more

The Narnia books are a lot better when you don't know what's going to happen in them. I read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and then Prince Caspian and yes they were good books, but I knew what was going to happen and for me, a book is never as good when you know how it ends. That's why I usually like reading the book before watching the film or TV series that's based on it. This evening I started on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and already I like it more, and that's completely because I don't know what happens in the end (or the middle or the beginning for that matter).

So yesterday me, Paul, Catherine and Greg went round to Mhairi's and had a spot of afternoon tea. She had made scones and a carrot cake, and although the carrot cake didn't quite live up to mine, it was still really good :D We had tea, coffee and Pimms as well. Pimms o'clock! xD

Then Mhairi had to do some cleaning and Catherine had to go to work for a couple of hours so me, Paul and Greg decided we'd go down to the Birkhill Inn for a few pints. It was good fun, especially when we were recording ourselves a podcast (our second, if you want me to send you either/both of them then email me - personalidiot@hotmail.com). Mhairi and Catherine came and joined us later and then we all decided to go stay at Paul's because he had an empty house. That is all of us except Greg, who chose to stay at home and try take sunrise photos instead xD

Paul's was good, I bought myself a 70cl of Gordon's gin and 2 bottles of tonic water, so it was tonic water for me. Paul had himself some beer and Mhairi and Catherine were drinking vodka. It all started well with us watching St Trinians (damn good movie, it was at least the fourth time I'd seen it) and then some TV, but then Mhairi decided that the contents of her stomach would have a better time in Paul's sink than where they were supposed to be and prompty evacuated the lot of them. Once more I was the one holding back her hair... not that she hasn't had to do it for me often enough xD

Didn't do as much today, the 4 of us just lounged about Paul's house until we had to drop of Mhairi and Catherine and Mhairi's mum's work so she could give her a lift home. Paul came back to mine's afterwards and we had a Chinese for tea. It was good, and I once more had two starters ^^

Tomorrow I'm going to a wee, although actually quite big, perty at Max's house so that should be good, especially as I'm told he has a rather large house which even has a sauna... Can't wait for that xD

So I'll see you all some time later... And hopefully tell you the tales of the party xD


Oh, and PS (see Paul, it goes at the end): Good luck Paul! xD
