Thursday's Terribly Tricky Tasteless Tears
Wednesday, 29 July 2009
what? when? wednesday? where? who? fuck.
I PASSED MY ROAD TEST WITH FLYING MOTHERFUCKING COLORS.
I was so nervous going into the test. I was first in line and totally freaking out. The guy was proper rude. It was raining and my windows were fogging up, I couldn't see a fucking thing. So, at a red light I turned on the defroster thingy-whatever so the windows would get un-foggy. The examiner guy was all, "MAKE THE RIGHT!" and I was all, "The light is RED" and then he reminded me of the "right on red" rule. In all fairness to me, that rule doesn't apply to every red light, and I really couldn't see, I needed to stop anyways to get my shit together so I could see through the fucking windshield. But alas, I passed and all is well with the world.
So besides that ... 10 days left of work! =] Work has been pretty good the passed week or so. I've been working in the same classroom, so the kids and routine doesn't switch on me everyday, which is really nice. I'm hoping to spend my last 10 days of work in that room and go out on a pleasant note. Haha. The kids are younger, ages 3-5. Oh! I quit my night job. Fucking UGH. They cut back my pay because of the "economy" but forgot to tell me until I brought it up as an issue when they were paying me. They responded, "You work for us for that amount, or not at all" and I was feeling extra surly that day and I told them to "FUCK OFF" because I'm worth my wages and if they're not going to pay me what I want, I'll find people that will. I'm feeling the hits from the economy too. FUCK THAT SHIT.
Gabi, I would totally bang Johnny Depp. That's your challenge right? We're supposed to openly admit that? Haha. Yeah, J.Depp or Josh Hartnett. Johnny first though, hands down.
Summer pic ... I call this one the "awkward turtle" -- just for you Alex.
I like these picture challenges. I want to see the most ridiculous picture of you, really, show me something crazy. I know all of you have done something nutty.
love from the newest licensed driver,

Monday's Child...
So today has been awesome! I went to the pub with Lucy and Jessica who live over the road from me, and then Jess's friend Tim turned up and we had a really good laugh...plus got invited to a lock in.
Last week was tiring...I worked 40.5 hours...am only supposed to be doing 12-16 so 40 is a little extreme!! But that works out at about £200 for 1 week so woo hoo for money! Plus I got my deposit back from Uni!!! I was charged £14 for a sticker that wasn't even there when i moved in AND £2 for removing a fuse that we never removed! However we weren't charged for the 3 microwaves, 2 freezer handles, cooker or hob that we, as a flat, broke! Whoopy.
I went out on yesterday for my Nan's birthday...and ended up having a huge row with my mother (who by the way is in crutches as she fell over and really hurt her leg!) But we're all made up now.
CHALLENGE TIME!
Christine my strange city memory has to be in Worcester when I was on a red cross duty with my mate Fraz and this weird old dude came over and started asking if he could have all the bandages and stuff...and then he touched our legs...like proper groped us and when he smiled I swear I could see maggots in his teeth!
Shipa my lyrics come from Angels by Robbie Williams
Kelly I have asked Jess AND Lucy if they would follow us...but i only asked today so you'll need to wait for them to sign up and watch ;)
Gabi my celeb has got to be Tom Cruise and I'm going to take his money off of him!!!
Sharon you didn't leave a challenge lol so i won't do one ;)
And Finally Laxmi you didn't even post...I checked on your day but, to my shock, I had wet myself!
Finally my Challenge is that your blog title must:
1) Include the day that you have been allotted to blog on (not the actual day you blog on since no-one actually blogs on their day!!)
2)Contain 5 words (including the day you were allotted)
3)Have all 5 words starting with the same letter
4)MAKE SENSE!!!

every guest leaves happy
ok i'm trying to write down the challenges quickly so i don't forget them.
clue
city
followers
something about wetting myself?
shit i cant remember anything else except for the fortune cookie from last week which i missed even though i did actually get chinese food for the cookie. it said something like "confidence isnt something you have it's something you are" i dont really get it. i might just be remembering wrong...
ok so i'm really sorry for not blogging last week (also for waiting til after midnight to blog tonight) it's just i was so busy with work and i was so tired when i got home sunday night and didn't even remember that i was supposed to have blogged until i was in bed monday night. monday was my first day off in like 2 weeks so i went to the beach (atlantic city) and after that i went back to my mums house for a couple of days because i didnt have work again until FRIDAY! also, my mom and brother have been painting my old bedroom so the only furniture in there is my old bunk bed which is now in the middle of the room like an island and covered in blankets to avoid getting paint on it. it was kind of like a fort which was good because my mom took the door off to paint and i hadnt brought any clothes with me so i was sleeping naked in my fort (we all know how much i like sleeping naked) anyway, i was laying in my fort and remembered that i'd forgotten to blog and i felt really bad, but i didnt have access to my computer until thursday and by then i just figured id wait until this week. i also decided to make an alarm in my phone to go off every sunday so ill be forced to remember. (lets see how long that lasts)
clue/cluedo time:
damn i wish i was the only american on this blog so i could make up a character and just pretend the us and uk versions have different ones. mostly because kelly stole mine! i am always ms scarlett!
my crazy city story ive got a few but since christine used new york already, and since my new york story is not that crazy considering it's new york, so i'll use montreal. I was driving with my friends trying to get to the casino and apparently montreal is made up of more than one piece of land, so theres this island and you need to take a bridge to get to the casino but you have to get off like halfway across the bridge. its pretty messed up. anyway, we were not having any luck, we kept having to turn around. we must've gone across the bridge atleast 3 or 4 times and we finally exited toward the casino. so we kept driving because we could now see the casino and it wasnt too far away. then, we ended up driving past the casino, like around it, because there was no way to get off the road we were on. turns out this "road" was actually the montreal racetrack. its a closed course for formula 1 racers and i have no idea how we got on, but we had to turn around and drive the racetrack BACKWARDS to get out. then we found signs pointing to the casino. also one time in toronto i saw a drunk man laying on the sidewalk. he pulled out his penis and started peeing while laying down. <-- that counts as my wetting myself quote 'cept that i dont remember the actual quote. (i heart canada)
ps. im really mad at christine for not being able to go visit kelly! is there another time when we could all get together? kelly would you be able to come round here that weekend? since martin will be coming in and we could all hang out in new york?
as for followers, i have enough trouble following myself in this thing so i dont know how thats gonna work...
much love homies! this is actually way long. i figure its 2 weeks worth
kisses!

Duck, duck, transvestite.
Alex - I am Ms. Peacock, because peacocks are my favorite birds & she kills people. Awesome.
Shipa - That fucking ting tings song. Haha. Thats all I can think of.
Kelly - You suck for not doing my challenge. =P
So my trip up to New England was a lot of fun. We went shopping, to the beach and played mini-golf. We also saw the new Harry Potter, which I thought was well done. I'm very disappointed that they did not include the House Of Gaunt and some of the other memories of Voldemort, but other than that, I liked it. I really liked the beginning, I think that was my favorite part of the film. ALSO! I'm really growing to like Bellatrix, shes a fucking evil bitch, but theres something about her character that I like. I mostly like that shes a fucking evil bitch who doesn't give a fuck.
I have 14 days of work left! Yaaayy!! I'm super excited to not have to go to work everyday. Haha. I need a break, yo. ONE WEEK UNTIL MY ROAD TEST!!! Ahhhh, guys wish me luck. This shit is serious, I need to pass on the first try, or else I'm kind of fucked over. Really, pray for me. Hopefully, I will pass, and buy a car as soon as I can. That's my non-educational short term goal of the summer/early fall. Let's hope I can achieve at least half of it. Haha, no seriously.
I spend a lot of time in New York City, and I see some pretty crazy shit. Sometimes, it's just fucking ridiculous, besides Amsterdam, New York is the most eccentric city I've ever been to. This past Friday, I was walking in Midtown Manhattan and I see a man carrying a live duck around, like it's a fucking lap dog. It was one of those white ducks, with the yellow beaks. I'm obviously staring at this man and his duck and I mindlessly walk into a transvestite. I immediately apologized profusely to which the tranny laughed at my awkwardness. A transvestite, laughed at me, fuckmylife?! This all happened on the same block, 34th street between 6th and 7th. For this week, my challenge is to share a memory of the strangest thing you've seen/encountered in a city, any city.
I think I forgot to tell ya'll this but: I saw an eyeball pop out of someones head. Hahahaha. It was a fake eye, of one of the kids I work with. The student learned how to pop out his fake eye, and whoaaa does it go flying across the room when he gets it just right. It doesn't hurt him, if thats what you're concerned about. He laughs, and is jolly the rest of the day. I have pretty much seen everything that could/has gone wrong in the special education field, but this, really put the icing on the cake for me. It was kind of awesome & I feel as though now I can say that I've seen everything. Just thought I should share that story. Ha.
With that, I'm closing up this post.
Miss you kids, a lot.
I kind of love you as well. =]

7 Birthdays, 1 farewell and 1 wedding in 11 days + Laura's blog!
Okaay, so I realised I was never very good an introducing myself... Hi, I am Shipa. I am NOT an alcoholic, but I lived in flat 1o Pooley last year and met all these lovely people! I quite love them to pieces, simply because only us lot would think to do something extra cheesy like this! :D
Why hello there blog readers and fellow semi-flatmates!
Welcome to the first instalment of Laura’s contribution to the blog.
Now, I know I’m not an official member of flat 10, but I figure as a part time resident I can be a part time blogger?!?!
It’s funny; a big group of us used to all write diaries on diaryland.com, I guess this is similar but a more communal thing!
I want to tell you new and exciting things that have happened in my life…but there aren’t too many. It’s weird being home, everybody’s changed… and EVERYBODY is poor!! I’ve just got back from the Larmer Tree festival; I went on my birthday (after pubbing with everybody in the morning) and had possibly the most boring birthday day/evening EVER!! I had to work with pretty much the dumbest girl on earth who thought SKA was a BAND, and got confused when I told her it was a genre of music. She then hadn’t a clue who Madness were and proceeded to tell me that she didn’t really like music very much…whilst we were WORKING at a MUSIC festival!!
Then I watched Jools Holland who was pretty damn boring!!
The weekend in general was quite good though, despite it pissing down with rain for 95% of it!
On Friday night I was sexually harassed by a guy in an anorak.
We were in the club at the festival (which was really amazing, spent every night drunkenly dancing on the stage to fantastic music!!!) and he came up behind me and started dancing with me…. At this point I thought he was normal, he was about my age…and vaguely attractive…so it seemed like a good idea. THEN he started getting a little frisky and kissing my face, I was very drunk and found the whole thing hilarious!! But THEN he whispered in my ear ‘I want to suck your tits’. I just turned around to him and screeched ‘whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww’, turned around, grabbed my friend Harry and told him not to let go until the guy was gone!!!!
Why do I always attract the creepers??!?!?
Oh, and another guy..who was about 50 came up to me and my friend Emily, told us we looked similar and then asked if we were sisters or lovers. Like those are the only two options!! He then turned to me and said ‘nice cleavage, innit’.
What a chat up line.
Anyway, this blog was pretty pointless...but I hope you will allow me to write things now and then.
I didn’t do any of the challenges, but I want to make sure I’m accepted as a part time blogger before committing myself to anything difficult!!
It’s 2am, and I’m logging out!
Love you all!!!!!
Jewish Laura xx
I realise I posted this fairly early. I totally didn't get my days confused AT ALL. :S

Monday Mania
!!!news some for gagging everyone's bet I post a without days Two
WOW!
I may as well complete Christine's challenge while I'm talking about work :) I haven't watched Hairy Pothead myself but I was on side-stand the other day (the food counter next to the screens) from 2pm to 10pm and witnessed about 12 lots of people go in and out and being opposite the lady's toilet I managed to have a chat with quite a few blokes waiting for their Mrs' and a few of the women too...by common consensus from these random people's opinions I dub the new Harry Potter film boring and overall crap!
I'll complete Kelly's challenge now too!
