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

Umm, I gave up on the Cluedo character really, as I am not quite sure I know the characters but the first one I read was Colonel Mustard and a sentence to describe him was: Often considered to be the "alpha male" of Cluedo, SO, it kinda made sense.... What with somehow being BOTH the alpha male and the mother of flat ten... supposedly. :S

So it has been party time- as my title indicates. Jews birthday was a success, I do believe! Even if it did rain on our hawaiian theme and literally piss on our parade...but to my shock, I had wet myself by standing out in the rain trying to fix up the decorations.... I feel like this may have been discussed when I was less sober. But yeah, that was the first celebration. [This was also my chubby brother's birthday so we did a few siblings things that evening 15th as Laura's surprise was the day before obvi because she went to a smelly festival on the 15th]

The day after Seb- the german exchange student who came back to visit for 10 days had his leaving meal. Which was a buffet [of course the boys spent the whole time proving how manly they are by piling up plate after plate until they felt sick]! And the stupid boys were fucking about furthermore because they have free texts and Martin was being an ass AS USUAL and started texting me from the other end of the table, ordering me to go get him some friggin icecream- the texts got increasingly ruder and so I just started ignoring him to which he kept blaring "Shipa, pay me attention!"

We've yet to make amends although I did endure the hug which he forced upon me when departing.

Oli glock's [bassist of the indigogoes/ friend who introduced me to James] birthday on Saturday which was a pub job as he was busy working in the day and he doesnt really spend any time with anyone except his girlfiend Megan.... Yeah- during that day I had a chat with GAURA [Yes Lax, you'll be happy to know I had some firm words with her concerning her attitude towards her friends and her boyfriend! Pfft, friggin Paniotta wannabe!] Then later that day I watched the OC and caught up with Jess. Does anyone like the OC?! It is quite awful... but not as awful as One tree hill?! Is it? Or One true hill?! I don't know! All I know is that the one episode of it that I have seen, ended in "I am going to change my name!" [THAT was meant to be a cliffhanger!]

Aaanyway, the pub was fun, but I enjoyed seeing baby heathy more! Who has GROWN since friggin January! :O No longer at the blob stage.... [not your blob, Alex!] Yeah, and there were exchanges of massages- it was niceee! Even though the blind dog that lives at the pub kept sniffing my bag and barking! It probably doesnt like curry, is what I figured!

Pfft, James is questioning my tarot cards interest! Alex, kick him! Or Christine, scare him away by shouting at him down the phone! [Heh, you know he eventually stopped ringing... and I only saw him ONCE on campus since you went back]

But yeah, Sunday! Sunday was Gaura's sister [kelly's] birthday BBQ. Which was epic in that I knew NOBODY as Gaura went off to work and wasnt due back until 9pm! Which meant I was surrounded by Gaura's family who I spoke to and Kellys friends. It was AWKWARD. And there were kids everywhere and pregnant mothers... and there are only so many questions you can ask about pregnancy before you get too scared to know anymore.... Ugh, there was this one bratty little girl who I wouldn't mind pushing over, she was bullying all the other kids, throwing tantrums and hitting the BBQ and my HEAD with a friggin ball. Seriously, I wouldnt have minded knocking her out and pouring water on her so that when she woke up she would think "But to my shock I had wet myself". And hopefully cry in embarrassment! But LUCKILY Chris Leee came to rescue me. I mean I became SERIOUSLY BORED... like I ACTUALLY discovered my phone has games on it- it has guitar hero!! [THAT'S HOW BORED I WAS] You should have seen the grin on my face and how I pounced on Chris when he walked through the door! Heh, then Laura got back from work and I pretty much had to leave an hour later...

TODAY It was James' birthday. This was fairly exciting for several reasons...

1. it is this day 2 years ago that I met Ruairidh.

2. I haven't been in James' house since September (10 months ago.) And it meant I had to face his MOTHER who knows I have hurt her golden child... but she was actually somewhat pleasant, perhaps she missed me like a bad headache? James' dad on the other had bestowed a warm hug and kiss on me as soon as he saw me... I literally ran into his open arms. Twas beautiful.

3. We were going to watch a performance by a GOSPEL CHOIR in the evening to celebrate.

The BBQ was brilliant [because James' dad cooked!] And everyone was great fun... I managed to get into a bit of a tough situation.... Laura mentioned this festival where there is a tent in which you can dance for 24 hours... to which Ollie Guffawed and said "WHO would dance for that long?" which I CLEARLY gathered to be a silly thing to say... so I had to prove to him that I COULD dance for 24 hours- this resulted in my struggling to gather food as my feet had to constantly be doing some sort of wild jig... I was told I looked like I had "dancing tourettes or something". [That ended, I am not still dancing] as James said I was ruining his birthday! [In a jokey way... but he did repeat it several times and claim it was what he wished for when he blew out the candles... so I decided to give in.] Later, the choir was bloody awesome! I particularly liked the cover of "beggin" but that was JUST for us... this is them [the choreography is pretty awful- please excuse it, Gabi and Lax!]Oh and the guy who conducts is pretty hot, tell me what you think! Oh and we decided that one of the guys in it looks like the guy that used to be in my family but is now on the telephone/internet adverts?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVBOiJCojq8&feature=channel

Oh, and we got them to sing happy birthday to James, by being rowdy youths in the audience! And by "we" I mean.. myself with the help of Mel. [We jumped at the opportunity- when the guy asked if there were any birthdays in the house] :D Oh, there was icecream consumed too, it was quite lovelyyy!

Umm, the other birthdays and weddings are yet to occur. I shall let you know of them next week. And Laura is being an ass and won't upload the fortune cookie pics! So... here is what I remember them vaguely saying:

Laura: You shall half wealth in the month of....

Shipa: You are very attached to your friends and family. [Like I didn't know, pfft!]

Chris Lee!: British Gas have made a mistake, you should be getting a rebate.

Oh and yeah, Harry Potter- day after tomorrow!! :D soooo excited even if people aren't appreciating it! AAAAAAND Catherine comes back that day- so YAYSERS!! :D

And I got my results: Poetry 2.2 [sad times, 1 mark off a friggin 2.1], Lits in time [yawn] 2.1, Reading, theory and interpretation 2.1 and Shakespeare 2.1! So overall, 2.1. I am content. :)

P.S I think Ruairidh may read these blogs... so please don't embarass me anymore than I have already embarrassed myself guys... AND can you all present me with altered lyrics of a song of your choice and make it relate to QUEEN MARY somehow. You can just do a verse if you wish. :) And Gab, you can't take "Gabi, is poiisooooooon!" ;)

And on that note, I shall bid you all goodnight! :D I miss you all. Very much.

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

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!

"You will make many changes before settling down happily"

There you go Kel...The obvious stated :-P

Well I won't hide my disappointment at Gabi and Sharon but I am sure there is a valid reason for them not blogging...maybe the stole my tea towel!!! As neither of them posted I shall have the choice of Laxmi's challenge.

Laxmi wants everyone to tell her what Cludo (Clue for the Americans) character you believe you are, post a piccy of them and give her a reason why you think you should be that character...Well Laxmi I believe I'm Professor Plum...'cause I'm ever so clever :-P.

I would like everyone to do one thing for my challenge...each of you must include the sentence "...but, to my shock, I had wet myself" and it MUST make some sort of sense :-P.

Speak to you soon smexy people :-)

P.S don't forget Mr. Black for Laxmi's challenge!

2 Days Late and a Dollar Short...

Ya'll hey!!! weekend exciting and busy my in up caught got just I time on posting of intention every have I but late posting for sorry so. it about all you tell to wait can't I! confusing hella is it because writing backwards this in it about you te

Mmkay after that breif craziness I can continue on with my story of my wild and crazy weekend...the rest of the week was boring :( I quit my vacu

um job and attempted another job selling random ish to people at work only to quit that job today i can't stand any job that the words "door-to-door" are involved in LOL.

But one of my best friend's bday was last week and she flew in from New York to celebrate it this weekend so of course we had to do it big. We baked her a cake and had a small gathering at my house since my Mama was outta town woo!! but we ended up turning this gather into a TOTAL PISS TAKE of my friend LMAO. My friends and I tricked her into believe that there was a wild and crazy drunken game of strip poker going on at m

y house in which i was in my Vickys (Victoria Secret underwear for the Brits) and my two guy friends (one of which she likes) were naked and the other was stripping GOSH DARN!!. Can you say TOO FUNNY! so in her mayhem of anxiety she called one of our other friends and had her come over to make sure this game was really going on, which it wasn't but at this time we were tore back and decided to go out to eat and act really wild and crazy at Steak 'n' Shake....amazing night lol...well at least to us who know what really happened lol

Saturday I headed out for Cedar Point 2 hours late with the tickets for me, my friend, and some people that we were meeting there. Of course we got there late and the folks that were meeting us there were highly upset...so was I!!!! These heffas

didn't book the hotel we were suppose to stay in and were mad at me because I was late with their tickets that they coulda brought them self!!! WOOOSAB!!!! lol I worked myself into weezing and had to take 3 puffs of my inhaler! :( but while at the park I got my fortune cookie (sorry no pic) that told me: You always know how to conquer the big problems in life i.e Millennium Force the roller coaster that i complelty skipped because I was too scared LOL

Check out this video clip of the ride and u'll see why i didn't ride it:

so maybe I don't know how to conquor them (sorry my ish is acting up right now...so confused)

but that was pretty much my weekend with out the crazy driver I had to follow back to one of my Frat's house

that almost killed me, or my fake friends on Sunday that I must not talk about or I will get highly upset!!!

For a favorite Flat 10 moment 1 word is all I need: EARSWABS! LMAO I must admit I will never look at one

Harry Potter thought: THE SHIT!! and the sexy Slytherin Blaise Zabini was the best eyecandy ever throughtout

Swine Flu-ey Friday

Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm Laxmi, 19 years old and the size of a foot stool! This is my first blogging thing yet! Sorry that I couldnt do it last week, the internet was down, and I was in Stratford all day, luckily the weather wasn't like it is today......shit! I gotta keep this brief as I'm at work and on my break! The whole town is like having a bit of a scare because swine flu has hit home =( and my village has a very small population! ARRGHHHH!!!

I'm really missing America!! I can't wait to go back next year! Kelly, Christine, Sharon and Gabi I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOU!! And I miss Taco Bell so much too haha! I'm so bored out of my arse at work today! I've been working in like frezzing conditions to the point where my toes actually feel as though they are stuck togetherǃ I'm supposed to be waiting on some guy today to check for pests! The other day we found this rat at the back helping itself to some cheese! The rat also felt comfortable to fall into labour too!! So we had rat shit everywhere!! fun times!!

Anyways I'm sorry I'm not being really creative at the moment and creating a challenge, I'm being yelled at now to get back to work!! Anyones welcome to set the challenege on my behalf!!! beyweeeeeee x x x x x

pussy/cunt

.riot a possibly or/and boycott a start may and christines joined has my brain, backwardness with challenges more no please so. one hot very a indeed yes. minute hot a in about all you tell shall i who kim friend lovely my is list my on first yet. this for you murder to want and you like don't really really really I but word strong a is hate, alex dear.

ALright so I apologize for the late post, but due to the fact I started my third job I haven't had time all day to get on and type this up. So I got switched to hotel front desk/night auditor for Darien Lake overnights and I still do a few days on the gate as well checking people in. I love the overnight job/shift/people. It's really fun and I am learning so much about hotels and getting some great customer service experience. I was thinking of searching for a night audit job in london for when i get back! So I had 1 hour of sleep since yesterday, needless to say I am going a bit insane and very tired. I was at work for most of today then went to the mall ( shopping centre) with my friend Bailey in which I bought a zip up pink plaid sweatshirt, a black button up vest thing, a pack of new tongue rings, bright pink nail polish, and twilight heart candys! Then I went back to work and my Close Friends Sticki, Kim, Mel, and I went to chinese buffet! On the way out Melissa walked/accidentally pushed me into a curb in which I practically tumbled over. This was not fun. After we went to walmart to get car chalk and then we headed to Tim Hortons and I got a large hot apple cider. So on the way back we were talking and the word pussy came up. I don't know how anyone else feels about the word, but when in reference to female genitalia, it quite frankly gives me the heebie geebies. I, however, have no problem ( and actually prefer) one to say cunt. I just think the "p" word is disgusting ESPECIALLY when said by males. Anyone else feel this way? So anyways we drop my friend Mel off and I had to get out to let her out of the car and Kim has to move to the front seat so i get out and they call my friends hot brother out to say pussy I attempting to hide try to enter the car but KIM pushes me back making me spill my full glass of cider over me and the sidewalk AND embarassed me in front of hot brother who just goes back inside probably thinking we were idiots. Needless to say, they never got him to say the word and I know they will not get anyone to do so!

SO this girl I work with was talking about her husband and she was like yeah we visited his home town, BANGLADESH!! and I immediately told her I knew someone from Bangladesh. Next I will test her to see if she can find out what chudies are and where she can get them serviced! Brr I just got a summer shudder from my open window .

flat 10 memory== id have to say n.w. no lol um new years eve learning to salsa and drunken fun.

Harry Potter thoughts -- i will wait for you to come on watch-movies-links.net I am really not willing to spend money on it.. I just dont care that much for it..sorry I am more interested in watching Bruno!!! Ish bruno!!

alright so i have the fortune cookie pic but I am dead tired so i will just edit my post and add it later


.

nigth i am passong out now




EDIT::


fortune cookie challenge example because everyone else is not doing it right lol
"be direct, usually one can accomplish more that way...IN BED"

you stupid bitch.

Wow, Shipa, you left me with a tough act to follow. Sorry, guys, I'm sober this week. I think Shipa was drunk enough for the both of us. Yes, I'm lovingly making fun of you and your inability to handle booze as much as the rest of us and our strong livers. I love drunk Shipa, she's hilarious. (Shipa, this is my completion of your challenge, taking a piss out of you when you're in a good mood <3)>

I'm sending a request out to Alex ... please, can you not post such difficult challenges? Come on, you know my brain, do you really think it could handle that?

?that handle could it think really you do, brain my know you, on come ?challenges difficult such post not you can, please ... Alex to out request a sending I'm.

That's the best I can do, I know you'll love me anyway.

So ... what's new in New York? Eh, I have 19 days left of work, that's pretty fucking awesome. I'm totally ready to NOT have to work anymore. The kids are cute, and I really like being in a school, near teaching and learning, but I feel like I never get a break from it. I'm in school to be a teacher, so I'm learning a lot about teaching and learning ... I don't really want to have to think about it on my summer vacation. I need a break from the field, so hope that the next 19 work days fly by for me.

I am heading to Connecticut this weekend to go see my friend and future roommate, Corey. For all you Brits, Connecticut is north of New York and it's one of the New England states. It's a pretty state, and I usually make my way up there a couple times of year. It's a lot like where I live in New York, except a little more north. We're going to see the new Harry Potter film and I'm so excited!!

I got my grades back from summer school ... A+ (firsts, for all you Brits). I got a 99 on my final exam. A FUCKING 99. It bothers me so much that I was so close to perfection, yet so far away. Oh! My ROADTEST is in two weeks from today ... send me good driving vibes, I'm going to need it. Haha. & I am very sorry to report that I have been in contact with a certain douchebag recently. (That's all I've got to say about that!)


As for Sharon's challenge ... my favorite flat ten moment. Well, if I had to pick one ... it involved drunk Sharon and a very tired group of flatmates. The flat10ers come home from a night of heavy drinking, all ready to snuggle and passout in bed. Simon innocently goes to the kitchen for a glass of water. Sharon, is still very drunk and lively, hops down the hall to Simon, chanting "Simon! Simon! Simon!" and knocks his glass of water out of his hand. The glass shatters into a million pieces. Sharon thinks this is hilarious and wakes up all the flatmates. The only question Alex could think to ask was, "Whos pint glass was it?!"and goes back to bed. Myself and Shipa, begin to clean the mess while drunk Sharon tries to assist. Simon, looks at Sharon and says, quite simply, "you. stupid. bitch."

My challenge this week for all of you: discuss your thoughts on the new Harry Potter film, I haven't seen it yet, but it's supposed to be the best one yet. So yeah, get off your ass, and go see it. =]


love from NY,
xtine
