Welcome to the kinda good life!

Sorry I haven't written here in ages but I've not really had much to talk about and also I've been busy with stuff. I started working at the hotel as a chef now, I do weekends for the moment, and the odd weekday here and there - come the 16th of June though I will be there full time and I honestly cannot wait a single bit for it! College is awesome too at the moment, I have a reduced timetable so the only time I have to come in is on Thursdays and Fridays. Which means the rest of the week ends up bumming around my friends house, and then drinking with other peeps. Money is a bit tight at the moment too. Well, I say tight, its non-existent really. My own fault.. if I hadn't of brought a ton of stuff in Game then I wouldn't have been so short on money. I get paid tomorrow, and I have to again use it all! I have a cheque for £40 in my back pocket which I am yet to cash in, when I do that will be a bit of money extra on the side. But even so, that takes a week to process through my bank.

I  met this amazing girl at work the other week, she's beautiful, funny, outgoing and everything I like in a girl.. I asked her one night after work if I could go round her flat (as she has her own flat.. she's 20 by the way) and she said yes. Then we spent about 4 hours straight talking about everything and everything. That same night we decided we both wanted to go and see the new Indiana Jones film, and because we're cheap we used orange Wednesdays to get 2 for 1 tickets haha. Now, I'm taking her out for dinner tomorrow night to a nice restaurant called  wagamama's which I've been to, and it is very very nice - check the link back there! I miss her already and I only saw her last night....

"the kinda good life" a life with hardly any money, hardly any college, but that special girl in your life to make everything else not matter. 

Woo, I almost pulled!

Yay, no more of my monday night practical!

Woo I went to college today and got told that we don't have any more Monday night practical lessons! Usually we would finish at about 8:30pm - 9pm but now we finish at 4! Yay! So today instead of working hard me and my best friend and everyone else went down the beach. I didn't wanna get burnt again so I just hopped straight in the water with my friends and we swam about for a bit as always. The water was dead calm today so we could swim about without getting battered by waves - even though those waves are great fun! Then I decided to jump off the pier and so I jumped off it, right towards the end of it as well where it would be most deep.



Yeah, so I jumped off here (see above picture) and as I landed in the water I dived in too close to the edge. Later on when I got out both my legs, and foot, and nipple (weird I know) were all cut up and bloody. God knows what happened I can't really remember, all I remember was jumping in, then attempting to swim back to shore, with the help of my friends dingy. I'm not a very strong swimmer see. I can swim, just not very strongly. 

So, last time I wrote here I said I was going to quit smoking. Yeah that's gone out of the window now really. Just brought a pack of 40 B&H Silver today. I'll quit at a later date.. whenever that is. 

The weekend was pretty fun as well actually. Every year there's this big food festival called the Christchurch Food Festival and I went to it and got some really yummy stuff. Basically small food companies from all over England come down and sell their top notch products. I got a range of cheeses, some fresh lemonade, a smoothie made with tons of home-grown fruit, some organic meat, some tomatoes, non-dried garlic, some bread, some dips and other stuff which I can't remember. I blew £150 somehow though. Well, my parents did, not I personally though. Saw a ton of college lectures there too and Karl, who used to be on my course but quit. He was working in a hot dog stand and I said hi. 

More fun on the beach!

Today was another hot day, so me and my whole college group went down the beach for a couple of hours. I needed a pair of swim/beach shorts really badly because I keep going in the water in my jeans, which them gets sand all over them. So, me and my friend popped over to JJB sports and we got a pair of beach shorts. They are black with a white stripe down the middle, pretty sweet actually, especially for the price. Anyway, then we headed down for the beach and as always we sunbathed, swam in the sea and had a laugh. I'm still red as hell though, and I can feel my face tightening up and my arms are beginning to sting alot.

Turns out I didn't have to do that ICT Exam in the end, I went there, sat down and then they said that apparently I didn't have to do it. I'm going to double check it over with some people at college but at least I didn't have to do it! Wooo!

I really need to quit smoking, I started back in late October time and I've just been smoking ever since. Its terrible and I need to quit. I was running around Bournemouth today, I ran from college to JJB Sports in the middle of town, and then from JJB to the beach and the whole time I was out of breath and seriously unfit. I had 5 today, which is bad enough as it is, its not the highest I've ever had in a day but 5 for me is pretty high, usually its only 2 maybe 3 a day. I wanna quit and get fit again. I would love to start going swimming every morning down at the gym with my stepdad (because he likes doing that, and hes done it before) but he doesn't seem to wanna go at the moment even though I keep asking him to. Saying that though, he has been acting a bit strange lately.. me and my councilor talked quite a bit about it, all private though. If worse comes to the worse though and my stepdad doesn't wanna go full stop then I will just go on my own even though I would rather go with someone - makes it more fun that way.. have little competitions to see who can swim the furthest.. etc. Its just something to do to get back to a fit state again, and also its something to do with him seeing as we never do anything together anymore.

So, as of tonight I am quitting smoking, and will keep you updated on how it goes. Its just a dirty habbit at the end of the day, and as much as I enjoy doing it, its really not good for me at all.

Ow, I'm sun burnt

Well, Bournemouth is having a few very very hot days lately. So yesterday me and my mates went down the beach for a couple of hours. We sunbathed, then swam about in the sea for a while. It was great fun because there were these huge waves and everyone was out in the sea jumping up and getting pushed along by them, it was great fun! I think I swallowed a bit too much sea water though lol, but its all cool.

But then I got home and as I was leaving to go to my best mates house I looked in the mirror and sure enough, my face and arms are red and burnt. And now it hurts.

So now I've gotta do some crummy ICT exam, with my skin feeling tight and hot. Oh well! 

Wow, alot to catch up on.

Okay so its been a week since I last updated this. What a week its been!!! Yeah obviously my weeks and weekends aren't as fun as some (going out getting drunk, smoking weed and seeing naked girls haha) but its still pretty fun.

Firstly, I got this game about 2 weeks ago for my Wii called "bully" and I've pretty much completed it (how sad I know). I have 89% completion on it, I've done all the bike races, go-kart races and even unlocked the go-kart and BMX helmet. I've done all my lessons, unlocked all the extras, found all the rubber bands, D&G cards, gnomes, brought all the stuff from the towns carnival, done all the extra missions.. *babbles on* so yeah I've done it all. So, I was wondering what this last 11% was and so I looked online, apparently theres this secret area once you've done everything which you can do extra secret missions. But I'm yet to find it. 

More news about my job. I quit last weekend, but didn't tell anyone. Yeah basically I got told to go in the fridge to get some pre-cooked tomatoes out for the full English breakfast and the tomatoes had mould all over them. I went to throw them away, got shouted at, then watched in horror as they shoved them in the microwave for 30seconds then served them. I wasn't going to let it happen so I walked out into the restaurant and found the people, I took their plates and explained what had happened. My boss was not happy lets just say that much, and she shouted at me, alot, and said they would probably get health and safety inspectors round. So I just said "okay, well I quit. sorry". Got my wages, walked out. But then just by pure luck I got a phone call from the head chef at the hotel I'm going to for my work placement (come June) and he wanted to know If I wanted to do some weekend work for some cash. So, my first shift was the other day. I know I won't be quitting this any time soon. At all, the kitchen is amazing, food is lush and the chefs are awesome. I know the head chef, hes called Ken, hes a part time lecturer at my college who has taught me before so he knows me quite well. Sorry for quitting I know it gets me nowhere, but It was fucking disgusting to be honest, horrible and vile and I don't think i've ever seen anything so bad in my life. 

Ages ago, I knew this girl called Abi. Anyway, to cut the whole story short she had somehow met this 40 year old guy. She was only 16 (I feel harsh for saying this next bit) but she was young and naive, she had issues with the way she looked (even though she was beautiful) and thought that she was ugly and would never get a boyfriend. Somehow she managed to get with this 40 year old guy, much to my disagreement. The last time we spoke she was moving in with him in his flat, and they were having sex. I explained to her that he was probably some creep only in it for the sex, I mean he was only enough to be her father and yet he was just taking the piss and leading her on. I was right in the end, I contacted her the other day after reading something about them breaking up. Turns out he got back together with his ex and left her to fend for herself. I feel really bad for her, obviously anyone would. I mean she now has no home because she got kicked outta her house by her parents, then she quit 6th form, she has no job and is currently living in a hostel. So, we've been talking and stuff, I wanna meet up with her soon if she gets the chance, and see if she needs any help with anything, or if she needs a place to stay for a bit. Shes cool with it. 

So, now I got a crappy week to look forward to. I gotta do 3 assignments by Thursday. 1 of which I've not even started yet, the other 2 I'm only a little way in. OH and I forgot. I failed my car theory test. But, I'm not too pissed off about that, I knew I was gona fail because I didn't practice enough, my own fault really. I'm just gona re-book is ASAP and then actually practice tons for it. I only practiced for about 5 hours total. I shoulda done alot more.
