My Day, Part 2

Yeah so that first part was just so I could say I still blogged every day for x number of days. As long as I do a Part 2 and actually put something in part 2, I'm counting that...

So today was slow again.

Got up around 2pm, I wanted to stay in bed and try sleep some more to make the last of the food last because we wouldn't be getting our weekly food delivery till the next day instead. Nice timing, pain in the ass...

I had 4 slices of bread left, 4 slices of bacon. I had a marmite sandwich, as usual. And waited till around dinner time before I cooked the bacon and had it as a sandwich.

4 slices, may sound like a lot, but do consider how much the things shrink... It's like half the length in the end... Still wasn't all that filling anyway...

So I got a text from Graham, he said he was going to nandos!

We both love nandos, Graham was a nando-virgin till not too long ago. Dan and I were like "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Seriously, Nandos is freaking amazing.

Anyhoo, I would have come if I had money. But turned out Zoe has a nice side. When she's not being mean to be in some way or another, she offered to buy me a meal as long as I pay her back.

I may be a lot of things, but I always pay someone back in the end. When I have the money, I'm paying back my dad, a lot of money, for all that he wasted on me... Bus passes that ended up being useless, money I stole from him or mum in the past.

Many of my friends know I stole money from them. So what? Unfortunately, my mother was an easy target... I wish I had the chance to truly apologise and pay her back... I miss her very much.

My dad was never an easy target though... A while ago, and Graham has enjoyed recounting this story, I stole £20 from my dad's wallet and went to the shops with Graham. I bought us a lot of crap and we were enjoying some of it in the park when I got a call from dad. I pretty much shat myself and dumped the stuff on Graham to hide, while I ran or cycled back home to face the storm.

In the end, I think my dad is actually a push over... Don't get me wrong, he's a crazy man, but he's also a push over. I don't quite know how and I can't begin to work out how... Either way, I do love my dad very much. As much as an oblivious blithering idiot that he can be. He's my father, my single -although he married again- parent.

Don't get me started on Carol though... She's my step mother and I'm sure in future, if I can keep this going, I will rant A LOT about her and her idiocy...

One thing I'll say real quick, she lectured me about how she brought up her kids. I'm not mean enough to say she brought them up wrongly then because of her table manners... Seriously, at a family meal, like Christmas lunch, you don't start eating as soon as it's in front of you... Even the most dimwitted of people, knows to wait for everyone... For instance, CRACKERS! You pull them before eating. Not Carol. She just dives right in.

Anyway!

So Zoe offered to buy me a meal, or Graham pulled her leg hard enough, I'm not sure, but I don't care.

We went to Nandos and I had a chicken burger this time. Medium as usual. Next time (thursday) I'm planning to up my chicken to hot though. Maybe double breast too in the burger because it was a bit too small for me... Or maybe it was the lack of much food that was why I was still hungry after a burger and chips...

Bottomless drinks are always win though. Nandos is lovely. If you have the chance, go there. If you don't know how hot your food can be for you, just go with medium at best. Dan loves to get extra hot... I don't actually know why he can handle it... he was brought up with spicy food? I'll have to ask him again at some point because I forgot again... If his reason is "Because I'm South African" -Wow all capitals and it's actually meant to be like that- Then I WILL punch him... Then he'll punch me back... or punch Graham. Who will punch him, and then he'll punch me. And I'll punch him, and you get the point... We punch each other like morons.

So I had a lovely Nandos Chicken Burger, Medium with chips and ketchup-chup, and I owe Zoe £10 (rounded up) and Graham £4 for a chocolate cake desert I wanted to try last Thursday. I didn't have money at the time and he was going to be getting a free 1/4 chicken so I stole it!

I should say, between eating my marmite sammich at around 2pm and then eating the bacon sammich at like 7pm then going to Nandos not long after. I played Half Life 2 for most of that gap.

I'm not going to lie, I never played Half Life 2 properly until a couple days ago.

I have tried in the past -I'm playing it on The Orange Box by the way- And I got so fed up with it that I rage-quit. It's a sort of puzzle game I guess and at times I just got so bored trying to work it out or what ever that I gave up. Strangely, I've died A LOT less times than I did the first time I tried playing... Sure I got lost, a lot, but I found my way easily enough. I think my first death in the game with this new playthrough was a stupid thing I did... There was a container I had to explode barrels in to open up to drive my boat through. I threw a grenade in, nothing happened. That alone was just frustrating... so I went up to it, a bit too close and shot... I died.

The grenade worked the second time though! Dumb game...

So yeah, I've not played Half Life either actually, I've watched Freeman's Mind on Machinima. It's an awesome series, I got very confused at one point. I can't be bothered trying to explain what was going on, but all I'll say is, he's progressing through, I think I missed some episodes? But then he's suddenly like, back at the start? Maybe there's an episode one, two thing going on with it too... I think once I get a good PC set up and good internet, I'll get Half Life and play it. 

For now, I'm somewhat enjoying Half Life 2 though. It's made me jump a little every so often. Dumb headcrabpeople... The faster ones are like "OH MY FUCKING GOD DIE DIE DIE" It's freaky.

It's also quite interesting to notice some things that are in other Valve games, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, Portal. Mainly sound effects really. But if you've played Portal 2, the guy, I've forgotten his name already... he mentions "Black Mesa can kiss my ass" something like that.

I was amusing myself earlier by thinking, Half Life 3 or 2: Episode 3, or what ever people go on about, maybe Gordon Freeman will find a portal gun! Now that'd be fun!

So that's about all that's happened to me today... Maybe I'll manage to finish all the unfinished games I have, before I get a job at last... I don't know, but the lack of real money is a pain in the ass!

I applied for a Ticket Services Assistant position, I don't know if I've said this in a previous blog, I must have actually... Screw it, I'm going to put on my old person cap!#

BACK IN MY DAY- no.

So the job is from March 5th to September 2nd, pretty good space filler between, well March 4th and the start of college, which by the way, I'm freaking out over applying... I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY TO APPLY! I realise It's like 2 days at this point, but for god sake, I want to apply now and get it out of the way! Anyway,

The job would pay me £5500 in the end. It's pretty good really, and I'll probably end up spending half of that on a Macbook and Canon 550D camera. I really want a better camera for YouTube stuff and the course I'll hopefully be doing, and a Mac would be such a nice upgrade from this shitty HP laptop... Graham likes to say "it's a shitty windows laptop" Honestly, I want to just tell Graham, he knows pretty much nothing about computers... Graham is one of these guys who is basically like "everything is shit unless I actually like it" He used to think Dubstep is shit, some of you probably do too -look at me, talking to readers as if there's more than like one...- But he grew into it. It probably helped that at least 3 people he hangs out with, love dubstep. Myself, Yasmin and Callum, although Callum has been to this flat like, once... So I don't think he gets much credit.

But yeah, my laptop has windows vista. Yes, it's vista. Cry me a river, I like it. But the laptop is made by HP.

HP products are pretty shitty honestly... This laptop is HP, suuuuucks. The printer I have in my room back in Dalgety Bay. SUUUUUCKS. It tries to take the whole stack of paper in the tray when printing... I have to feed in one page at a time...

My dad likes to say "HP Paid for this house!" I don't give a fuck dad... HP is the reason we came to Scotland, now you've quit and go back to London most of the week to work. Glad it's too late to move down south but I will do that one day anyway. I'll drag Dan and Graham, kicking and screaming. Dan will probably drag Nicky and Sam (his dog) and Graham will try drag Smudge (his dog) and I will actually kick Smudge into the middle of a motorway... I don't like him, at all... Pain in the fucking ass. NEUTER HIM ALREADY!

Blahblahblah words and things and stuff *pictures Peter Griffin's reaction since I've said the title of this blog in the blog itself* Although that image was about saying movie/tv show titles in the film... Anyhoo! I think that's me for the night.. it's 3:31am and I want to do a bit more Half Life 2 and reply to peoples on facebook. Then get depressed about my life.

Actually about that, (WHEN WILL IT END?!) I was listening to Michael McIntyre's audio book, again, lastnight and earlier (I fell asleep with it on). His life seems quite a lot like mine at the start. He lost his dad in in his early 50s at the age of 17. I lost my mum when I was 17 and she was early 50s. We both hadn't pulled a girl for a longlong time, I'm still a virgin in that sense, and we both hadn't had sex for a longlong time, again, still a virgin here -It's the curse of being a Virgo!- No shame in it honestly. I'm proud to have seperated myself from like, every guy ever... I'd rather have sex with a girl who I would have a future with. I don't care how long the relationship would be, as long as it was more than like a month or two... Anyway!

So Michael's story basically made me think, He didn't have much luck finding anyone until he was in University. And he was doing a course he didn't much care for.

I am looking into getting into film related stuff, and I'll no doubt, thoroughly enjoy it and make a few new friends. Maybe that's where I've been messing up. Maybe I'll finally find someone, when I'm on the right bloody course.

It may just be my idiocy going to a new level. But I want to cheer up and maybe this is how I do it.

In any case, I want to do well in this damn course. I don't see myself doing anything that isn't related to video. Eventually, I won't have to be working like that because my YouTube stardom would arrive and take me away!

Anyway... For now, I want to find a job so I can earn money to buy a Mac and Canon 550D. Go to College and do this NQ Media Technologies, maybe apply for the HND Audio Visual course too in case I'm able to do that instead, jumping right into it. Although I'd rather do the NQ still so I can be pointed in the absolute right direction.

Hope I get a job soon, and I hope I'm able to take a few days off in early May. My Cousin, Captain Olly Osborne of the Royal Marines, is getting married on May 4th to a lovely woman. Gorgie, she's a police officer. I feel sorry for their child! Actually, I still wonder what that'd make her to me though. Cousin in-law? Nothing? Meh... She's lovely and she has such a nice dog, Bowser. Cross breed dog, forgot what kind, but she's so freaking cute!

Also, my dad likes to make the same awful joke, "May the forth, be with you" Just terrible... Senile old fool!

Right! I think that's about it from me... Judge me all you like, I am a potato.

Good night!

Heh 3:43 again, like yesterday night. Makes me think of Halo. Can't wait for Halo 4! OK I'll stop. NIGHT!
