Cooke for the first time in the kitchen before I went out yesterday- made tomato and butterbean soup.  My mum says I need a meat meal cos I told her I'm going to cook veggie pasta tonight.  At the moment can't be bothered to cook anything. Last night was quite boring to be honest.  The bencraft party was half dead, no-one danced, and my flatmates left.   Talked to a few people i'd met  the night before and one boy who only arrived yesterday.  Managed a more interesting conversation tha the usual what are you studying, where do you come from etc.  After he left it just got emptier and emptier so I ended up leaving at bout 11, so at least I got a good nights sleep!

Today we all went into campus to register with a doctors and stood in a queue for AGES to not get my freshers tickets :(  Will try again tomorrow.

Tonight seems abit up in the air, with everyone giving different info.  Theres a comedy night on at the union which some people say u need tickets for, but some say you can pay on the door.  And the times keep changing.  Then some people are going to a club after that.  Most of my flatmates didn't get in til about 7 this morning so some people don't want to come out at all.  May end up not going out so I don't end up with hardcore partyers!  Would like to go to the comedy night, tho i've never heard of any of the comedians.

We went to see HP on Friday and I liked it, tho I don't think it was better than the book.  The romantic bits were so much better than in the book, and they kept Hermione's birds which I always enjoy!  Probably because of all those bits it was more of a comedy film for most of the middle- and it was good comedy but you did kind of forget the looming threat of Voldemort that the book had.  Well, until the end anyway.  The Inferi were scary!  But I did miss the big fight after Dumbledore was killed with the DA and the Order of the Phoenix - cos noone other than Harry seemed to do anything in the film.  Still the end was good, and I liked how the whole school raised their wands and it got rid of the Dark Mark-  that was sweet.

I need some more icons, specifically Harry Potter ones!

At the moment I'm trying to clear some space on my bookshelves as I'm getting to the 'piles on any free surface stage' and so I'm trying to figure out which books I can give to the charity shop.  It's harder than you'd think!

My grandma is the best!  I got home and she'd sent me one hundred pounds!!!  Apparently for any unexpected expenses when I get to uni.  Isn't she lovely?!  I think I'm going to save it for books/freshers tickets if they're expensive, although I am tempted to go on another shopping spree. ;)

Also today my bank sent me my debit card, but not my chequebook.  Which is the one that I need!  I have to send money to southampton and pay money into another account, which I can't do.  Still!

I'm looking forward to (hopefully) seeing Harry Potter tomorrow, finally, cos I've heard good things about it.

I'm posting from my house! And I'm not carefully counting the minutes! We have broadband! *bounces*  Internet Exploer still won't work (it says that "access is denied by the access control list" or something like that anyway), but Elliot had Firefox on a disc he got from a games mag sooo we have firefox. Tabs and stuff! I like : ) I may have scared my mum tho' - sarted describing it and she was like so I'm going to have to learn how to use this new thing? Not good.  But really, it's not hard to use- I figured it out!

I did the personality test from Li's lj:

<a href="http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results/?oR=0.475&amp;cR=0.722&amp;eR=0.344&amp;aR=0.806&amp;nR=0.5">I'm a O7-C74-E15-A79-N43 Big Five!!</a>

 ( Edited: Meh, the html doesn't turn into a link, anyone know how to fix? The site just said to copy and paste and I did! :( I am so not computer literate)

I'm miffed that they reckon i'm close-minded! I like to go to new places, doesn't that count?  Still, it is quite accurate seeing as I also couldn't decide if i am calm or nervous.

Hi Suzal! And Li, when you get home and read this! (again after writing it!) Look, I'm finally updating! I am amazing. (thankyou) Despite having forgotten what my Livejournal looks like and being incapable of punctuating, properly or otherwise. Moo ha ha, I - as in Ali - have run out of things to say in my brackets.

I'm updating, cos I did the quiz from Li and I really don't think it's me. What do you think? I should be doing Geography right now but I got slightly diverted. I'm three quarters done anyway.

I really need more icons.

So, I was going to do a HUGE post about west wing, but I’m too lazy, so I will just say the following: OMG Toby! Why? And would he really do that? And, just randomly - I want Donna back. And Danny!

Now I will revise. Maths is stupid.

And I have seen no Disney movies. But I knew that anyway!

Yes it's STILL not the other ones but ... I'l get round to it eventually. Probably. I'm too lazy to update properly.

Something I got from Li:

Leave a comment here and I'll:

1. Tell you why I friended you
2. Associate you with a song/movie
3. Tell a random fact about you
4. Tell a first memory about you
5. Associate you with an animal/fruit
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
7. In response, you MUST spread this disease in your LJ

And to answer Li's question: It's just me and my dislike of too much noise. Also the fact that I feel bad if someone's trying to say something and not being heard.

It’s not any of the memes I promised I’d do but it’s still an update! A very important one that Li should read and agree with!

Why Duncan is evil!

1. He ignored V for a year.
2. He got all jealous over Troy.
3. He didn’t break up with her properly- just started ignoring her.
4. He didn’t tell her that she was his sister, when he thought she was.
5. He raped her.
6. Super Stalker!

I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of them at the moment.

And this is a blogthing I got from Gina:

You Should Paint Your Room Yellow

Bright and bold, yellow is truly the color of inspiration. Your yellow room will drive you to think clearly, develop new ideas, and be organized. Yellow is also energizing and very powerful. So don't expect to rest in there!

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Saturday I gave zee_the_wolf a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). In January I helped gingersuzal hide a body (-173 points). In August I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). Last Monday I pulled over and changed milliethepotter's flat tire (15 points). In September I bought porn for gina9_5 (-10 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-99 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich! Sincerely, alsi_o

Gina sent me a "livejournal nudge" so i decided to post. I watched a Veronica Mars eposodes 10 and 11 today. 11 was so sad... I also have Studio 60 to watch now!

Need VM icons!

Hey, it’s me! I’m actually on LJ! And I’ve changed my layout- it all purple and pretty. Exams have finished- yay! *bounces on chair* Well really they finished yesterday for me, but I was too lazy to update. I did try to make the linky thing work for my icons but it STILL doesn’t work, and I’m sure I got it right. *sigh*

I finally watched the Doctor Who from last weekend and it was good, but the end creeped me out. It was kinda freaky him being in love with half a face that’s stuck to a stone slab.

Snagged from (gave up on the linky thing) in_purple_skies:

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like/love/adore you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

My Mum is a teacher. That might be pretty obvious to everyone, but it is really apparent when she moans at my brother for not sticking sheets into his books. It is one of the most teacherish things she could do!

We went to the vets, with Millie, today. She didn’t enjoy it much- she had an injection. When we came out though we saw a mini Millie! She was sooo small and cute, and totally hyper.

I finished reading The City of Flowers today. It was really good although at one point I was totally going to kill Nick/Falco. I actually felt sorry for the Duke and some of the di Chimici at parts.

Today I had my first Physics lesson, supposedly, with Mrs. Jones. She was away *cheers* so we had lots, and lots of notes. Kind of deja vu from Mrs Caulfield’s lessons really.

I spent most of today persuading Li that I did NOT want to go and see Harry Potter again (just in case you’re reading this Li: I’ve already seen it- don’t wanna see it again). I saw it on Saturday and, yes, it was good, but not good enough to warrant seeing again in such a short time. They condensed it so much that you had a lot of action and not much explanation. For instance, WHY did Barty Crouch (Senior) die? Who killed him? Anyone who has only seen the film will not know why and who. Percy didn’t appear in the film- there was no mention of Barty (Snr) being under the Imperius Curse, Winky doesn’t exist in HP film world and neither does SPEW (tch). The second challenge was good; as was the Yule Ball and I liked Hermione’s line- “I’m not an owl” (in context it sounds less weird!).
