Delayed Happy Christmas to all...

sarah_jay — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 23:36:31 GMT

Happy Christmas to everyone, sorry it's a couple of days late tho!

I had a pretty good one, I have to admit.

Yesterday was good, got up, which was probably the hardest part of the day, was naughty and drank way too much the night before. Then went visiting rellies and had mums gorgeous roast. Cheers justjessanne! And finally I fell asleep in front of either Shrek or Toy Story 2!

Got some lovely pressies, Friends dvds, Simpsons dvds, a hugh jewelry box, Jonny Depp Calendar and stacks more.

Today I had to work which was not so good, but my boss was in a very good mood so that when my friends came in she let me just stand there and talk! She also let us out 15 mins early so that was great! Then it was over to my grandparents house for another big roast.

Now I'm tired and should go to bed but for some reason I had the urge to update, maybe it's the Christmas mood!

Oh in other news, I finally have another car, after mine was stolen about 5 days after I had passed my test. really hope they find the sods that stole it and justice is done. very pissed off with the police as they seem to be doing nothing to find them.

Must go to bed I think!

Woooo!

sarah_jay — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 21:30:58 GMT

Yay, I did it. I finally passed my driving test! Thanks to all who have congratulated me, *thank you hugs* to all. Oh and only 8 minors, so not bad I think.

Also, first day back at uni today which wasn't too bad as I only did one hour. They have moved our lessons already so instead of shorthand 1-3 it was 12-2 and i turned up at 1 and had already missed the first part but managed to turn up just in time for a well earned break. heehee.

Did some retail therapy and bought myself some dvds before the test in the hope to distract my very nervous mind. I got Phantom of the Opera and the Xander, from the Buffy collection. Damn HMV having yet another sale!

Updating...

sarah_jay — Wed, 11 May 2005 22:42:37 GMT

I’ve been badgered into updating so here goes;

Yet again the convention (Serenity – not that people wont know what I’m talking about!) was absolutely amazing, even though it was well over a week ago!

Nathan Fillion was so funny as per usual, and this time no gay shirts! His chemistry on stage with all the other cast members was great, and as they all said many a times they really do resemble a family! So sweet. Having my picture taken with him was just …drool!

Alan Tudyk looked so shocked to see so many people cheering and applauding him when he came out at the opening ceremony. It was great to have had him there. At least he gave Nathan a run for the funniest guest! Oh and he did a line from I, Robot as well which was pretty cool. Having my picture taken with him was just …extra drool!

The surprise guests, Ron Glass, Chris Buchanan and Mark Sheppard were a great laugh and really nice to see. Had my picture with Ron too; great guy.

Had to laugh, had a conversation with Mark when he was signing, about children, and he actually asked if I had kids!?

Summer Glau, Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin were all beautiful, as per usual. So nice to see them again. Although I was shocked to find out that Summer is older than Jewel! Am I the only one who didn’t know this?

It was so nice to see people again.
scourgeoe, fallen_wiccan, helygen, great to see you all. Big *hugs* to you all. Can't wait till Quort'toth, or possible Serenity2!

And just a little thank you to crazy_dolphin for driving us up and back to Heathrow.

Oh can’t forget to mention the ‘cute guy’ who for the record spoke to me first! Yay that never happens will hopefully see him at Quor'toth and I may even ask for his name...

As for the now, damn Uni exams. Done two so far and I’ve definitely failed my shorthand exam! Got another one on Friday, and three more spread over the next few weeks!

But on the plus side I now have a car of my own!! Yay. It’s a Nova Swing! And ok, it’s a fair few years old, but when it gets going it’s pretty cool!

Poop

sarah_jay — Thu, 04 Nov 2004 01:43:12 GMT

See I do have one of these. I just don't use it all that often.

Just had to go on about the wonderful weekend that has just past. Had the best time ever. The guests were great, and the fact that I got to see some friendly faces again, was also a bonus.

I had my picture taken with Christian Kane, with his Lindsey tattoos, who for the record smelt really nice. J. August, who is very tall, I only just come up to his shoulder. And Jonathan Woodward, who I can only describe as huggable. To celebrate the whole Halloween thing I decided to wear my devil horns hair band, and was told that I should wear it through the photos as well, so I did!

So here’s the run down (not that you haven’t already heard this I’m sure):

J. August Richards; was I believe such a gentleman, especially when he was on stage with Summer. He kept pouring her a glass of water, very sweet I thought. Just a generally great person.

Christian Kane; so very gorgeous. He has a brilliant singing voice, and wonderful music talent. Same goes for Steve Carlson. The acoustic set on Saturday was well worth the wait, but their album is even better.

Nathan Fillion; amusing as ever. Although he did tell me ‘nice glasses’ which is odd as they are about five years old!

Stephanie Romanov; nice, amusing person. She has a really good singing voice, even if she only sang two lines. Although I still can’t figure out why she burst into laughter when my program was passed to her to be signed. Strange!

Morena Baccarin; is so pretty. I love the way that she can take any comments Nathan throws at her in her stride.

Summer Glau; third time I’ve seen her, and you can tell she’s got a lot more confident in herself. Really great guest to see.

David Denmen; who I didn’t realise was in Big Fish until this weekend. Loved that film. Got to talk to David briefly about Tim Burton, who is a great director, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory which I am looking forward to seeing when it comes out. David and Jonathan were so good with the whole auction thing. I found them hilarious.

Dayne Johnson; was great also. Just a pity I missed it when he showed everyone how to put on tattoos, but then again I was having my pic taken with J at the time.

Carrie Grace (costume chic); brilliant hair colour. She too was highly amusing, especially when she dropped the apple (was it??) on the ground during the auction. Oh and she makes a great couple with Jonathan, those two just look so sweet together.

Jonathan Woodward; was probably the highlight of the weekend for me. I adore this guy. I found him and David so funny when they were doing the auction; I even had cheek pains because I was laughing so much. And I got a small conversation with him at the autograph table. As I had had my photograph with him earlier in the day, with my devil hair band on, he thought my name was Cat, which of course it isn’t. As he was signing he stopped, and I asked him if he had forgotten how to spell his own name! So he went through his whole name letter by letter. This actually made my day, sad, I know.

So I had a really great time.

Now on more general terms, uni is getting harder. There is so much work to do, it is unbelievable. And it's only the start of the second year, so who knows what it will be like in the third. And they have taken away our reading week/half term or whatever you want to call it. No fair, as I have so much work that I really need some more time to do it in.

Oh well, just had a phone call from work asking if I could work 11-2, and I actually have a driving lesson 11-1, how convenient, but I did say that I would go in for a bit afterwards. Yay driving lesson, my first in about four weeks. Right must get going, lots to do. Before I forget:

Happy Birthday littlexander!

sarah_jay — Mon, 20 Sep 2004 09:29:00 GMT

Wahoo...

Happy Birthday crazy_dolphin!!

I'm going to be shot for this!

Hi and hugs to all.

Bored...

sarah_jay — Thu, 17 Jun 2004 02:54:24 GMT

The holiday to North Devon (Woolacombe Bay) was brilliant. It's a pity that it wasn't for longer than just the one week. We managed to fit in three games of crazy golf (I lost at all three of them), bowling (lost both games! Are you seeing a pattern here?) lots of swimming and shopping. I also got to ride a lovely horse called Toby, who was more interested in eating the grass or overhead branches than actually moving, which was fine by me. On one of the days we went down to this adventure park type thing, which had a few rides and a victorian village. So I had a fun packed week, but I'm now back to crappy old work.

Off to sunny sunny Devon

sarah_jay — Fri, 04 Jun 2004 10:34:03 GMT

Well it may not be sunny but I am off to Woolacombe Bay tomorrow, for a whole week with Mike and his family. Oh this could be fun.

Haven't been up to all that much recently except work.

Had fun on Monday, The Day After Tomorrow was really good.

Went and saw Harry Potter 3 yesterday. I have spent so long waiting for that film to come out so that I can go and see it, and I was disappointed in what I saw. I'm a massive Harry fan and the third book has got to be my favourite, but they missed out most of the good parts in the film. I felt as though it jumped a lot, or maybe that's just because I knew the story well. The film missed out a lot of the explanations of what happened and why it happened, which I enjoyed reading. Although I can't diss the graphics that was used, as that was amazing, and the acting was also really good. I'm glad I saw it, I just wished they had included some of the bits I enjoyed the most from the book.

Well that's my ranting done for the day, now I'd better go and pack.

Long time, no update

sarah_jay — Wed, 26 May 2004 17:23:57 GMT

I can't believe how busy I have been recently. Haven't had time to do a proper read of other entries, so if I have missed anything important, sorry.

Last week I had a lovely time up in Bristol, and I did not want to kill my best mate by the end of it, which was also a bonus! We went out on all three of the nights, and got far too drunk, I ended up being sick in a club toilet. We also got to visit the Zoo, and it was great to see all the adorable animals. Made me feel like a kid again. Also got to lounge in the sun for a day.

Went up to Guildford for the last half of last week, and managed to see Troy. Up till now I have never seen the fascination that so many people have with Brad Pitt, but after that film I'm definitely a fan. Eric Bana, who plays Hector is also very good looking. The film wasn't bad either, and is definitely worth a watch.

This week I have finally managed to clear some junk off my floor, so that now I can see the colour of my carpet again. I can also take more than two steps in my bedroom, which is impressive. I have been meaning to do this for some time, it's not tidy but it's a start.

The Evanescence concert that I went to on the Monday was amazing. Amy has such a strong and powerful voice.

I'm sure theres more I can go on about, but I'm really tired, and my bed calls, so I'm off.

sarah_jay — Sun, 16 May 2004 05:02:45 GMT

Wow, It's been a whole week already? It feels like I haven't had time to come on here, but when I think about it I haven't been all that busy.

Ok, quick update of my lovely week. Monday I managed to hand-in the last bits of my work at Uni. Then as it was such a lovely day I went and sat in the park and watched my friend attempt to fly a kite, but as there was no wind he failed and gave-up.

Tuesday I went all the way into Uni for a five min interview to decide what pathway I want to take next year; print or broadcast. I've chosen print. After the interview I went for a big shop and bought a lot of birthday pressies for various people who happen to have a birthday soon. Oh I also got Scissor Sisters album,which is pretty good. In the evening I went and saw Van Helsing, which I loved. Not only is Hugh Jackman absolutely gorgeous but he has such a fit body!

Wednesday, work. Brothers Birthday, so we had pizza.

Thursday, went round Mikes and failed to make omelettes, so we ended up with scrabbled egg on toast. In the evening we met up with some friends and went to pizza hut, yep more pizza.

Friday, had a driving lesson and got to play with 3 point turns, although I can only do them in 5. Work. Went out for the eve with my mates from Uni as a fare-well for the summer. It's going to be weird not seeing them everyday for the next four months. Had a pretty good night out. Went to four pubs and then we tried this newly opened fast food place called Mammas. Rather pricey, and to be honest the food was not all that nice.

Saturday more work and then went to a friends 18th party.

Today I'm off to Bristol for a few days to visit a friend. Although she's my closest mate, I can guarantee you that we will want to kill each other by the end! We just have a way of getting on each others nerves.

Better go and get my stuff ready.

I'm bored..

sarah_jay — Sun, 09 May 2004 11:12:32 GMT

Well I'm sitting at the computer, and I've got little to do. Just got to put together a portfolio with about five months worth of work, which is pretty much done anyway, for tomorrow. Then I'm finished uni for four and a half months.

The wedding yesterday wasn't all that bad. There wasn't that many rellies that I had to meet of Mikes, just his cousin, who was the one getting married and his parents (Mikes Auntie and Uncle). They all seemed like nice people.

The day wasn't too bad either. Nice service. Gorgeous dress. Had a lovely three course meal, and a nice buffet and disco in the evening. It was a very long and tiering day, pity it was cold and wet, we had to stand outside the church for ages. Went back to Mikes afterwards to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but I fell asleep, so missed most of it!

I did manage to watch Shawshank Redemption for the first time on Friday. It's a really good film, just the right amount of characters and plot. Also based on a true story, always a good.

Damn HMV for having an offer on this week. Three DVD's for £20, so I bought some good old girly films, (Sorry scourgeoe). I got Bring It On, Save The Last Dance, and My Best Friends Wedding. All good films, or so I've been told. Haven't actually seen Save The Last Dance, but I will, one day.

sarah_jay — Fri, 07 May 2004 12:23:36 GMT

Agh I've got a wedding to go to tomorrow, and I can't figure out what to wear. It's one of Mike's cousins and he said he's going to introduce me to his rellies! Oh this could get scary.

As for today, not bad. Had a lovely big meal for Dads Birthday, and I feel very full now, especially after I had a massive chocolate fudge pudding. Yum Yum.

Had a driving lesson this morning, and it feels like I'm getting nowhere. My instructor says I'm improving, so I must be doing something right. I suppose I didn't stall today, that's got to be a first!

Only two more days left of uni till the summer holidays, so not long left.

I had better go and decide what I'm going to wear tomorrow.

Wahoo all exams are now done!

sarah_jay — Wed, 05 May 2004 15:13:55 GMT

Had my last two exams today, yay. The question/material wasn't too bad, pity we had to do the test on computers. I would have been worried if everything had gone fine, so no surprise when in fact everything does go wrong! Computers always hate me, especially ones at uni.

The first exam was fine until it came to printing out the work. I printed to the wrong computer, then I ran out of printer credits, so had to waste money on topping it up. When I finally get printer credits, my computer didn't want to print, so I had to try another computer! Oh fun, but I did get there in the end.

Exam number two; This time round the computer screen felt like freezing on me, and in the end I had to change computer as I lost all the icons at the top of my page. Then the second computer wouldn't take my disk, so onto the third computer, which luckily enough worked.

Why can nothing ever be simple for me? Although I am surprised to say that my lecturer said that he was impressed that i had managed to keep my cool! I don't know if that's a good thing or not!?

After the exams we all decided to go to the pub, where i almost beat Mike at pool, now this is shocking, coz if you've ever seen me play pool, you'll know that I'm rubbish at it. Both games I managed to get down to the black, and both games I managed to miss the black! I'm not sure if I'm improving or if Mike just had a bad day!

Ok, I'm off now.

Fusion...

sarah_jay — Tue, 04 May 2004 13:18:59 GMT

Hello….
Anyone remember me?
Would you believe it I haven’t been on here since last August!
Yer ok, so you would believe it.
That’s really bad. Since then I’ve had more or less my whole year at uni, almost into the summer holidays now, got just over a week left. What am I going to do for nearly four and a half months? I’m going to be bored!

I just thought that my LJ really needed an entry, and when better to do one than straight after a brilliant weekend up in Blackpool, and what a fabulous weekend it was.

One of the best things about the weekend was of course seeing Max and Dor again. *hugs* to you guys.

Thursday: Well not much of Thursday was spent actually up in Blackpool, more like the immense amount of hours spent trying to get there! Just for the record, I really do hate trains, especially ones that decide to always be late.

Friday: Friday was a much better day. I got my lovely photo with Nick, swoon and sooo much drool!!!! Mum, Max and I got to queue in the extremely hot greenhouse, waiting for autographs with Juliet Landau, Tom Lenk and Sarah Hagan, who are all very nice and amusing people especially Tom. Got to listen to some of the guests (can’t remember which ones, all the days kinda merged into one), talk on the stage. At this point I have decided that my new fav person has got to be James Leary, who is not only very nice looking, but incredibly funny. Visited the dealer’s room…evil! Too many things that I wanted to buy, and damn that willow key ring.

Saturday: Another day full of nice-ish weather. That wind was cold when it wanted to be! Got another lovely photo, this time with the all-amazing James (more swooning and lots more drool). Got autographs from Elizabeth Anne Allen and James. Fancy dress party in the evening, and the guy who dressed up as smile time angel should have got first place!

Sunday: Mad rush as we were determined to get autographs from Clare Kramer and Nickalous Brown in the morning and then Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau and Jewel Staite, just after lunch. And we made it for all of them; I also managed to listen to Tom and Sarah in the hall.

Hilarious moments during the weekend:
Trams
“Pooh on the windscreen”
Pillow fight with Max, now that was fun.
Saying silly or rather stupid things that I knew would get a reaction, and if you’ve read Max’s entry you would know what half of them are!
And half a dozen other things that I really can’t think of at the moment, and besides I don’t want to repeat what has already been said!
I would love to put my pics on here, but to be honest I really don’t know how!
Oh well, I think that will do for one of my first entries in a very long while, but I will make sure its not my last.

Im back from the beyond ;)

sarah_jay — Tue, 04 May 2004 02:15:24 GMT

wow, can't believe im back on here after so long...now all ive got to do is figure out how to work this!

AAGH! Results!!!

sarah_jay — Wed, 13 Aug 2003 12:07:30 GMT

Feeling very nervous now!

Good luck to all that are collecting any type of results tomorrow.

Wow! I havent been on here for months!!!

P.S Thanks Mum!

oh I forgot....

sarah_jay — Sun, 30 Mar 2003 12:34:32 GMT

Check out my icon...

I'm still drooling...

Mums still drooling...

Too much drool!! *g*

sarah_jay — Sun, 30 Mar 2003 12:31:24 GMT

Yay I'm now 18!!!

No more not being able to get served! *g*

Been drinking most of the weekend and lots of fun has been had!

Thanks goes out to all that wished me a happy birthday!

And double thanks to my personal taxi - mum made me say that! *cyeg*

Oh and Amy - Nightmare Before Christmas is great on this edition too! Chris just does not have good taste, thats all! *eg*

sarah_jay — Sun, 12 Jan 2003 03:31:25 GMT

I haven't been on here since december!

I have been soo busy, working every hour i can and not getting my college work done. Now I only have one piece of coursework to be getting on with.

So ive got a lazy day planned. Watching TV, well after a quick visit to the dump. Oh yay!

Have however got a lovely exam, but not until the end of the month, so I'm not worrying about that.

I was going to Cornwall Uni on tuesday to see what its like, but found out that ut would take about six hours to get there and about ten to get home, so I've decided to give that a miss.

sarah_jay — Sun, 01 Dec 2002 01:37:47 GMT

AGH! I start work in 25 mins! just found out that as it's a sunday there are no buses at 9! So I had to phone my grandfather for a lift!

We had our staff party yesterday, which was very funny, because I can't dance, unless I've had a few drinks, which I did and I was dancing - which is a bad thing!

Now I'm tired coz I got home early this morn and have to go to work!

sarah_jay — Fri, 29 Nov 2002 09:35:20 GMT

Where Did Your Soul Originate?
brought to you by Quizilla

You come from an Ancient Civilization. Egypt, China, Rome... a piece of all the greatest civilizations of their time can be found in you.

Ok, not quite what i would have expected....

Update

sarah_jay — Fri, 29 Nov 2002 09:20:00 GMT

What a week, been kinda busy....

Boring staff meeting on monday, telling us that it was in our job descriptions to get some customers to purchase a New Look Account Card, and that I have to get three in the next week otherwise I'm in deep trouble.

Thursday...went for an interview at Highbury, which I mucked up. I took so long to answer one question, that I doubt they will accept me!

Today i got a letter saying that I am accepted to Camborne College in Cornwall! Which I'm extremely happy about.

Tomorrow I've got a christmas work party at 7.30 and I finish work at 6. So I won't have much time to get home and ready and get there again!

Yay! Got payed yesterday, but barely enough to get xmas pressies, let alone go out anywhere! I've got to try and scrape some money together to go and see Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers when it comes out! Can't wait, the first one was amazing!

Now I'm going to get myself something to eat as I'm really hungry!

sarah_jay — Thu, 14 Nov 2002 08:54:31 GMT

Just got in from going shopping with, wait for it, three males!

How did I survive? I really don't know!

I even managed to get one of them into Newlook, to look at some coats! And he gave me an opnion!

Now I'm bored again as college has given us today and tomorrow off, so we get a long weekend. Only prob is that everyone is either broke or busy which means that I'm stuck in to do some homework, which I'm procracinating in doing!

OH MY GOD!!!

sarah_jay — Wed, 13 Nov 2002 11:47:10 GMT

Yay!!! Ive just got a letter from Highbury college in Portsmouth saying that i have an interview in two thursdays time!!

Yay!! Journalism here I come!

Ok...calm now :)

I'm here!!!

sarah_jay — Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:25:35 GMT

Hey all, I've managed to put in an entry at long last. I've heard that some of you have been waiting for me to do this all day *g*

It's gonna be a very short entry I'm afraid, as I'm knackered and on my way to bed. Just seen Orange County, which is very funny but predictable in parts.

We were gonna see xXx but it started too late :(

As I'm falling asleep over the keyboard, I'm gonna leave now!
