Being On The Moon Must Be So Cool

So after Top Gear finished (which I only watched to see who The Stig was and chances are it was staged as I'm sure it's not Michael Schumacher) I saw the James guy from Top Gear in a documentary about the moon and space. I found it interesting learning about who went to the moon first, the problems they faced, how it's possible and many more answers to questions I have always wondered were revealed to me.

Eventually James got to go up not in to space but double or so the height of what a traditional aeroplane will take you when you go on holiday somewhere. The view he films on a camcorder is amazing, you can see the blackness of space and then far below are little white blotches, these were the clouds. When he lands he goes on to explain how he can understand the new sense of perspective you get on life and earth after experiencing what it's like to be on the outskirts of it.

It makes me want to go to the moon. Chances are I never will but no gravity skateboarding sure would kick arse.

I Hurt My Neck :(

It was all Taylor's fault! I was already happy for learning some weird martial arts backflip thing on my trampoline and then proud of myself for doing 2 back to back backflips first try and then when I was relishing the moment she told me to do a double front flip, calling me chicken if I didn't!

If you know me then you'd know I hate being called "chicken" or any other terminology that hints at me secretly being afraid to do something. The reality is that it isn't true, I just didn't want to try a double front flip because I can not get the height on the crappy Argos trampolines (which mine is).

First attempt I didn't land on feet but didn't get hurt, was satisfied but then decided I needed to try again on film otherwise I'd never get the guts again to get one on camera. This was a bad idea as this time I hurt my neck and it's been stiff and sore for the past couple of days *sobs*.

I Have a New Follower!

Well not properly, but kinda. My amazing beautiful girlfriend finally decided to watch my blog in case I mention anything about her, ha! Bit gay of her to not sign up properly and follow but with her having my blog page open in Firefox everytime she goes on the Internet she is sure to not miss any blog posts I make. :D

That's all for now, hope you've enjoyed me dedicating a whole post about you Tay Tay, I love you :P xxx <3

Half Term Again + Kitten Soon

So It's come really quickly, half term is here and I have a week off which I was hoping would be spent getting my assignments near to completition. Chances of this happening is slim though because A) I always get lazy and cba and B) my brother will be here hogging my bedroom. But on the college side of things it's overall going good. I'm aiming at 6 distinctions and potentially 8 out of 9 which really will give me a headstart into next year as I aim to get DDD overall and 360 ucast points. I still have a bit of work to do but it can be done.

Other news is I have another driving lesson in an hour or so (which I do look forward to but don't at same time) and my parents are going away to a wedding for a weekend. Taylor will probably nag to sleep round tonight but I'm not sure if I should let her because she did last night! It's archer's 18th birthday party tonight so I am probably going to be going to Tesco's after I've finished skating later to go get some alcopops for the gf otherwise she'll be on straight vodka tonight lol. I have some fosters but I may buy some more, don't wanna be short.

Finally the kitten I'm getting will be arriving on Monday, how cool!

Am I Over Illness?

So I fell ill on Wednesday and didn't feel properly back to normal until Monday but then later on in the day and for a bit on Tuesday I felt ill again! I seem to be alright today though (Wednesday) but am not looking forward to getting the bus to go college in 20 minutes time grr.

In other news my college is slowly coming towards the end. I've been signed off for Programming and Computer Systems which is 2 of the 8 done (was 9 but I did one in January). I'm slightly worried about getting it all done in time but I'm just going to keep going through the assignments getting the work done and hope for the best.

Finally I've now had 2 driving lessons (total of 4 hours) and I am quite enjoying it. It's going to be a shame in a few weeks time when it's finished as I'm sure I won't have learnt enough to be able to pass a test so I'll need to book more lessons which will most likely come out of my money.

Starting to Drive

Felt like I needed to write a post but don't have much to say so I'll blab a bit about me and driving.

Being 18 hasn't made any changes to my life as of yet because I haven't tried using ID to buy anything (apart from on my birthday night) but the present I got from my parents was driving lessons, which commence tomorrow. I'm not scared and am only slightly excited, as I've never drove before I'm not too sure what to expect so I'm just putting it to the side of my mind for now and waiting to see what happens. My first lesson is tomorrow at 11AM, my instructor (Denise) is coming to pick me up and a 2 hour long lesson will begin. It should be good, I'll just have to wait and see.

Watched the film Scar last night with Taylor where this Bishop guy used to murder people for fun, telling them to make a decision between killing their friend or pain inflicted upon themselves. The film seemed really cheap, like the blood and gore just didn't look right and there was this feeling surrounding the film that it was thrown together really quickly and was unpolished. Nevertheless it was alright and did keep me entertained so I'm glad I watched it, I'd recommend watching it as it has a few scares and jumps but it's not a film I'll be re-watching any time soon (more like ever).

I Have Become a Man

As of 1:23 AM on the May 2nd of 2009 I am now officially considered a man, turning 18 years of age. I have been given driving lessons as my present from my Dad and his girlfriend which also gifted me with ID which enabled me to go into Tesco and buy alcohol for the first time woo! My girlfriend got me bits and pieces as well as GTA IV which she wants to play with me (cool gf huh!) and £300 from my Mother will go along way in ensuring I have enough money to get my driving licence.

Other than my birthday I haven't done much in the past few days. I'm currently on the3rd day of my four day weekend and am hoping to actually go out and skate now after spending the majority of my time in doors on Xbox/with girlfriend or out in town to celebrate my birthday.

I've also been keeping up this blog for 4 months which I'm quite proud of. I really can't be bothered to type this now (mainly because no one reads it :() but I'm determined to continue for at least a year as I want to finish a New Year's Resolution for a change.
