Myth - YOU DO NOT STAY CLOSE FRIENDS TO THE CLOSE FRIENDS YOU HAD IN FIRST YEAR AT UNI

Hmmm....interesting. I vote that that's true as I am still friends with the close friends I had but not as close. The people that I was acquianted (how do you spell that???) with in first year I now get on great with. But that could just be circumstancial about where people live and what circles people move in.

Verdict - A TRUTH OF SOMESORTS

Myth - GIRLS LIVING TOGETHER SYNCRONISE THEIR MENSTRUAL CYCLE

No need for details.

Verdict - TRUTH

Myth - DROWNING YOUR SORROWS NEVER HELPS

Well I was really down today and walked from uni to my favourite pub sobbing my heart out and then downed 3 VKs on my own. Then some guys I know walked in and cheered me up sooo much!!!! I then downed another 2 VKs and had to stumble home at 6.30pm. I drowned in booze and felt much better for it.

Verdict - FALSE

Myth - GIRLS ARE BITCHIER THAN GUYS

Thats a toughy... Well the I think that girls like to claim they are not bitchy but then bitch behind your back or do bitchy things whereas guys are bitchy to your face as they are stupid. But that doesn't mean that girls are bitchier, just sneakier.

Verdict - UNKNOWN

Myth - MEN ARE NOT IN TOUCH WITH THEIR EMOTIONS

Well personnally all my serious boyfriends have been much more emotional than me and had a habit of crying easily and always said 'You're the love of my life' so in my experience I think that there should be a WO in front of that myth.

Verdict - FALSE

Why Claire&I should not be left alone....

ME AND CLAIRE WRECKED AT REFLEX LAST WEEK.
ME, CLAIRE, PETE AND SOME RANDOM IN DV8 LAST NOVEMBER (PETE AND I KEEP GETTING PAPPED SNOGGING, VERY UNFAIR!! AND I'M SURE IT'S CLAIRE'S FAULT SOMEHOW).



1/ If there is no alcohol in the house and we can not be arsed to go to the shop, we will order pizza and then play SingStar very loudly till 2am and end up with a letter of complaint from the neighbours..







2/ If there is alcohol in the house we will drink it. Just for the hell of it.







3/ If we decide to go for pub grub in a normal and nice pub in the evening and only plan on having a bottle of wine with our food, we will get absolutely hammered and end up staying till they close. Plus we manage to scare the entire male population under 30 out of the pub and have the men over 30 scare us.







4/ We are both broke yet we decide to spend all our money on the game "Guess the Shot" where each one takes turns to buy shots and the other one has to guess what it is before we down it. Messy.







5/ We spontaniously decide just to go out cos we are bored and encourage her innocent friends to poll dance with me and drink copious amounts of alcohol.







6/ I believe I can poll dance like a stripper and allow Claire to take photos of me. Not good.







7/ If none of the above appeal we will just watch re-runs of Lost, or Stardust, and cry. And order pizza/chinese and eat lots of chocolate.











There are more reasons but unfortunately the ridiculous amount of alcohol we consumed last night is playing silly buggers with my brain.

So The Years Move On.... Holiday! Celebrate!!

Thats actually a Kristian Leontiou song title, lets hope no-one notices.... And fuck the Madonna reference!

Yep its been two years and I forgot which email and password I had used for this, most annoying as I could REALLY have used it last year to get my emotions out etc...

*Thanks to Row who reminded me about blogging.

Anyhow, lets do the after shots of me and dim (later when I can be arsed and its 3am).

So he and I are no longer a couple, I have a date with a guy called Roman who is Russian (mum from Kazakhstan and dad from Afghanistan, fucked up) on Thursday, Claire is coming and he's bringing his friend to set them up! Should be fricking hilarious!!! I don't think anything will come of it, and I'm not even interested in kissing him or anything but I just want to get out there again and get my confidence up about living after having coped with so much crap over the past 12 months.
Must remember though not to mention the war or Borat.....Fuck it, after a few cocktails, which we expect them to buy, I'll be saying all sorts of shit lol!


Adam is also coming to visit me for a day this week which'll be cool as he really helped me over the summer and he makes me smile :o)

Its so bad though as I can't tell Dimitris as it would really hurt him (he would go mental over Adam), my feelings for Dimitris haven't changed but I can't just drop my life just as it's starting again.

Anyway, we will have our goodbye and tears soon as he's coming back from Greece at the beginning of March and probably staying till May (even though I'll be in Istanbul from 25th March to 8th April!! WOOHOO!!!).
Plus me and Claire are going to Greece after our exams in June for two weeks!!! We're prob gonna stay at Dimitris' mates family hotel for cheapness and the fact that it's in south Greece in a GORGEOUS location :-D
Downside is Dimitris will prob go with us too and I don't want to act like a couple when we're not and he will be hurt if I flirt (only flirt though, it's a girlie holiday not a pulling fest!) and I want to have fun with Claire and Dimitris my friend, not Dimitris the piner who makes Claire feel uncomfortable.

The long hard road to fitness.....

Today Dimitris and I completed our first gym session (after a break of several years of slobbing)! I was very impressed that I was able to last 45 minutes, albeit 45 minutes of excessive sweating, drooling and groaning!!! Poor Dimitris fared less well though, being surrounded by highly muscular toned men hardly breaking a sweat kinda dented his ego (and reminded him of his *cutely* rounded tum).

Neither of us could believe how unfit we are, we stood out so badly! Everyone else in the gym were cycling and running as if it were a walk in the park whilst we were dying after 2 minutes of warm up!! Plus the women were so perfect with immaculate makeup and ridiculously pert boobs (some with extra help methinks), then there was me with my baggy clothes, streaky mascara and jelly belly....

We are determined though to endure the hardship and humiliation... though with a lot of grumbling....

Preparing for University!

Finally I am getting over the nasty cold that I have had for the past week (probably caused by heavy drinking in Farnham). Although I'm not admitting it to my Greek (at left) who is now busy cooking for me mwahahaha! ;o)

So now I am turning all my attention to getting ready for Uni! Leaving work and my house in Surrey and being at college was wierd enough, but the thought of moving into halls, studying full-time and being a hard-up, hard-drinking student is terrifying! But I can't wait!

After working for 3 years at Surrey University, it is going to be very strange to be on the other side of the *office*door! But, irrationally, my main worry is how I will fit in with the other students as I will be 6years older than most of them. Though I did 'shadow' a current student on tuesday and everyone thought I was 19 so maybe I won't stick out so much. Plus, I expect I will give most of them a run for their money when it comes to drinking and dancing!

I am just so glad that I am doing this now, any earlier and I would have probably chosen the wrong course and achieved poor grades, any later and I would have been graduating in my 30s!!

I really wonder how students fresh from college manage to cope with the stress of sorting out accommodation, finances and living away from home. I've lived independently for 6 years yet I'm still freaking a bit over the finances (but then I do have the typical store/credit card debts that are inevitably picked up in the working world to add to my worries!). I'm even freaking out that I haven't yet had an official offer from the Uni (although unofficially it looks good)!!!

Oh well, now I guess I had better practice being a student by eating my fella's dinner (if you can call heated-up-day-old pizza that...) and beating him on the Playstation.....

Forgive and Forget (renamed)...

In Defence of A Great Guy! (and a warning to all other men...)

Now, as all hetero men know, women can be difficult at the best of times (although we are worth it!).
My good friend Simon (Goldy to his friends) is an amazing guy, kind-hearted and incredibly patient man. Yet even a gem such as he gets targeted by nut-jobs; such as ***** who has written blog posts (completely made up ones) slating him.

This is my defence of him (comments were disabled on her site);

I don't know you and you don't know me (although Im sure you've heard about me) but I can't believe the pathetic slander that you are posting about Simon. Especially calling him fat and a pervert.
Its sad that you broke up and you must have both been hurt but ripping into him (and then posting the links on the websites that him and his mates use)like this is wrong.
I dated and lived with him for 2 years and he is one of the most kind-hearted, funny, gentle and well-balanced men that I have ever known.
Its a shame that you are showing how shallow you are to slate his figure (especially when your looks arent exactly at their prime) and that you and your friends laugh at him.
You never deserved him and he is much better off without you. I just hope that one day you shake off your self-deluded, bitter and self-obsessed dreamworld that you live in.


Note (04/03/06); I have removed the link to her blog as she has had her say and it seems wrong and unfair to keep it going. Its true that people do do mean and uncharacteristic things at times of emotional strain (even fantastic moi has been known to be a total grade A ****).
