Hey people...
a sad-ish blog today...so if you don't feel like it...stop reading now.

I'm really missing my car,
she was good to me poor thing, and although she had a bit of problems once in a while, it was fun to fix her, it was a rare chance for my dad and I to bond a bit.
What's irritating about the whole thing is that I crashed through no fault of my own...
I'll admit I did have a habit of driving a bit too fast, as fast as her poor little engine could take me, but this day was not one of them: I was really relaxed, just finished exams, was in a slow mood, listening to the radio with speed being the last thing on my mind...bloody road slipped...
Any way...
with the loss of the car, I realised this evening, I have lost a lot independance. I now am in the possition of looking and checking for lifts again before i agree to go anywhere...bussing it again afer even such a short time (reletavely speaking) is not a pleasant experiance.
I feel dependant again.
well...
not fun.
not happy.
But I'm looking forward to the future with a bit of excitment...I'm curious to see how God's gonna get me out of this situation.
I have a few idea's but with God, who knows?
Guys pray Joni and I get a few adverts we pitched our idea for.
until then...I'll guess I'll start walking again...I need to start getting fit agin...maybe I'll stop feeling old...
that's about it...
I'm now gonna go start the forth book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
I know, I'm a geek....but that's why you all love me.

Hey
Well, I finished exams, yey!
We celebrated Tine's birthday at Chapelancy...got creative with the candels yey!
And crashed my car boo!
I was driving along tower road just after exiles-ish. The road was wet...it had drizzled a bit.
The woman driving infront of me stopped at the zebra crossing and i pressed my breaks to no effect. the car kept the same speed, and the stirring wheel wasn't having any effect either.
i crashed.
no car for a while, the engine isnt running and i dont know how much it can be fixed.

the beginning of another week
Hi,
So last night, dru and I felt the urge to go out...we were both at home and feel like we're getting old too quickly...so some randomness was needed...
everybody being at home studying and it being 10 at night, our only plausible idea was a film...
so we headed off to st julians to watch the 11.30 showing of Defiance.
It's a gd film, enjoyed it.
But what the hell? you study film for one semester and you cant help but notice the monatge style and editing and filming techniques used in a film.
fun granted...but sometimes u just wanna relax.
anyway...slept at 4am and loved it.
today went for a driving lesson with Angie and i must say she is getting better...hopefully she'll be going up for the test soon.
erm...
last exam tomorrow...yey me...and then i got some design work to get done for miguel and chiara (hello to them) got a video to make (hope i manage this one actually :S) and practise needs to begion for the talent show at the coming community weekend.. (excited)(thanks kai)
erm....
thats all
ah no!
one last thing:
dunno if you noticed, but everyday at the bottom of the page there is a new Terry Pratchett quote, from one of his discworld books...
for those who've read his work, it's funny remembering the story and specific moments...for those who haven't, it gives a gd idea of what you're missing.

Google verb Meme!
I know i already posted today...but just read Achie's blog and I was tagged so how could I not answer?
So quick explanation for those who don't read her blog:
A meme is something passed around the internet that you tag people in for them to carry it on.
The questions are:
Q: Type in "[your name] needs" in the Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] looks like" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] says" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] wants" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] does" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] hates" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] asks" in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] likes " in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] eats " in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] wears " in Google search.
Q: Type in "[your name] was arrested for" in Google Search.
Q: Type in "[your name] loves" in Google Search.
and my answers:
Simon needs to go suck his own nuts, but he’s too short to reach. (i don't think that makes sense but still)
Simon looks like he wants to gouge his eyeballs out and stuff them in his ears so he can experience total sensory deprivation (lol)
Simon says, touch your ears (HAHAHA it was describing the world famous game)
Simon wants to get Britney back on track. (it's funny cause it's a lie)
Simon does a "flip" (poor simon got injured)
Simon Hates Balloons
Simon asks "what is the dirtiest thing there is?". (no really...what is the dirtiest thing there is?)
Simon likes the way David Hernandez stripped it (I have no idea who he is or what he stripped and not really sure i wanna find out)
Simon eats a giant piece of watermelon in 8 bites! (this one's a video on youtube in case you're intersted)
Simon wears an overcoat (...he doesn't own)
Simon was arrested for wearing anti-Iraq T-Shirt
SIMON LOVES PIES (not loves per se...but i dont mind them i guess)
And I'm tagging:

The Best Saturday of the WEEK!
lol...it sounded funny in my head: the title i mean
well...
last night:
started off with youth mass, which was very nice, a shout out to Sam who is really getting better every time i hear him.
first up...milling around after the mass trying to see what were going to be the plan for the evening.
the result: kareoke.
well before we left in search of a bar which provides this entertainment...of coure giving steve loads of embaresment before he left for his coudategh...it was commented that me and matt were deprerssing as we were all in black, after pointing out that i was infact in a brown top with a black jacket, and matt was in a black top with a brown jacket, it was obvious to us what needed to be done....I look good in matts jacket and he looks great in mine...lol
MOVING ON!
Our search for a kareoke bar was unsuccesful, as the only one we found wasn't givving us the right vibe...if ya know what i mean...so we headed off to O'Cassey's as they sometimes do Kareoke...
they weren't but the dj said they will later...
pick a table,
order drinks
sit down...
and then the fun music began...
they weren't good 'hip' songs or anything, actually some of them were rather old, and we went through, aproximately 45 minutes of early 80's disco music, but we went crazy...
we banging the beat on the table, dancing wierdly in our places, acting out some of the songs...it was, for those of you who know us, Matt and I in one of our moods...but spread over the whole group: Matt, Mig, Krissie, Angie, G, (we had the honour of having the company of) Tine, and myself. Later joined by John, and after he said good bye to his coudategh, Steve.
I think the waiters and barpeople thought we were shit faced before walking into the place, hilarious...
thinking about it, my fingers are hurting from the table drumming...
anyway...i'm trying to portray the message that
IT WAS GREAT FUN
really wish i had my camera on me, i really do...
ah well...it will have to be remembered by those who were there without the visual aid.
I go do some work now....

Oh Thank God!
Seriously, I really have a reason to thank Him.
Right..
this evening i had my 7th exam, which was an oral or Organizational Communication. Now this subject so so vast and jam packed with detail that we're expected to know, it says it in part of the notes.
the second part of this same subject is Human Communications, which is rather more common sense to me...and I was so scared that some detailed question would come out, my heart i was racing.
As the person before me came out i was on my way in when he opened the door asking who's next...he found me with his face.
"me" i said.
"you" he replied,
and i couldn't resist "and you too",
"yes me too" he said smiling.
well, the atmosphere was relaxed from then on and when i sat down and picked the question...I smiled.
A good communicator is born not made. Discuss.
waaaa.....i'm sure anyone with a bit of a brain could answer that one...and having read some of the notes from the seminar (which i only did roughly as i remmebered most of it)...it was brilliant.
i got out of the office and leapt for joy, literally.
well
a bitch exam tomorrow morning,
and the last one on tuesday the 27th.
i'm going to the praise of community today...cause He deserves it...definitely!
some random fun:
thanks to matt
ally had mentioned them too:

Hey people.
First to all those studying inside and haven't been out all day: It's raining.
Second, I got very wet.
Third, I finished another two exams today.
Communications Overview, went ok i guess...with a multiple choice exam it's difficult to say how you went, right or wrong, no grey areas, so...but i should have gone ok.
Judaism was fun...Went in and said all I had to say, and the lecturer was actually interested in it, he even said "very interesting". He asked me one question that I knew the answer to and told me i can leave.
Miskina the person who had to go in after me was unlucky though, as by some wierd chance she had picked the same topic I did to speak about....ah well.
Well...got more wet on my way to the car and I'm home.
Exhausted and in no mood to study for tomorrow.
But at least I'm almost half way there...
so...
its raining
*no video today*
