Well, looking at everybody else blogs, it looks like I should sum up the year, so, here goes.

So very much has happened this year, its difficult to know where to start!

I started the year hoping that it would be easier than the one before, all in all it was, but it was still a toughie!

I moved to London in February and started a new job within 48 hours of getting here. Leaving the place you call home is so difficult, especially leaving all your best friends! But I brought my very best friend, Dave, with me and the girls (George and Charlie) and to be honest I don't find it too hard to make friends with people. When I was most homesick and finding friendships at work superficial an angel extended the hand of friendship even though she had reservations for certain reasons and looked after me (if she ever reads this she'll know who she is and how much it meant). Nevertheless, now that I'm at the end of the year I can happily say that I've made lovely and special new friends in London, resurrected friendships with friends that moved from Glasgow to London too and met some people from C4 that are lovely. Nevertheless, I still had my PhD hanging over my head all year and that made life so hard.

All in all, I did make friends, the jobs going well and the PhD is finally FINISHED!!!!!!! So a pretty successful year.

It's been a difficult past two years for me and Dave to be honest, lots of ups and downs for whatever reasons but I don't think many couples would have come through what we have as well as we have (well done us), we are still very much together, I love him more than ever and the future looks bright. Bring on 2004.

You know what ... the most important thing ... I'M HAPPY!!! :D

p.s. twineo, where would I be without you too (especially Sunday mornings), so thank you, your welcome, congratulations, OO R YA!?!?! etc. :)

-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
placed. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.


What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

Ello ello

Its been a while and everyone is moaning at me so I suppose I had better update ;).

Anyho0o0o0o, where should I start - last things first!!!!

DAVE HAS A NEW JOB!!! WOOHOOO!!! He's going to be working near to where he does now and its the same sort of pay BUT he's paid monthly, he has set hours and I'm going to get to see him SO much more!!! I'm really pleased for him, even if it isn't a perfect job it can't be worse that where he is, things can only get better :D

I've been working really hard on my pursuit to cure AIDS and finishing up my damned thesis, and I'm getting there (touch wood). Should be finished thesis by this time next week (fingers crossed). Went out for dinner with workmates on Friday night; had a good laugh in a Lebanese restaurant and smoked apple shishas.

Went to a colleagues wedding last weekend. It was a Jewish wedding so, as well as being sweet and lovely and stuff, it was really interesting: I've never been to a synagogue before let alone a Jewish wedding. The bride and groom seemed on top of the world. At the reception they had traditional Israeli dancing followed by a disco. The brides dress was fantastic, it had all the usual white netting under it but when she danced and hitched it up a bit it had red netting under it. Hehe, she also took her wedding shoes off and replaced them with bright pink trainers!!!

Oh yes, it was the C4 meet the day before the meet. There was a small turnout but it was a good day anyho0o0o. Me, Alien/Jalanterial/General Nuisance (:P), Fang and GayBoy were there for the whole meet and Mage turned up for about half an hour. We went for dinner at a thai restaurant, Busabe, which was YUMMY, then spent a few hours in The Blue Posts chatting away, followed by ice cream sundaes in the Haagen Daz cafe. It was lovely to see everyone and have a good old blether.

Hmmmm, let me see ... other than that its just been the usual ... working, bar at work, working, bar at work ... and I'm sure you can guess the rest.

I've been a bit Bah Humbug about Xmas to be honest but I'm starting to get into the swing of things. I can't wait for Claire, Steve and Jack (the dog) to come and stay and the parties at work should all be fun. I'll just need to get the flat decorated!

Well, I'm offski for now.

MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Soooooooo ... nearly two weeks since I wrote my blog. Do you want to hear how I've been working my butt off, getting pissed, getting my flu jab, having my Dad to visit etc etc.

OR

Do you want to hear:

This week I embarked on a lesbian relationship with a lady that works in the canteen at work ... she's got saggy tits but makes nice spotted dick and gives a good toe job. She dumped me for the siamese twins that work in the glassware section, but hey ... it was good while it lasted!

I won the lottery last Saturday, I forgot that I had promised half to my twin (digi) AND half to the canteen lady so thats me skint again.

I also won the World Table Tennis championships but got done for use of steroids ... it was only VICKS ffs, chuh.

Oh and I developed a cure for AIDS, unfortunately I slipped in the lab and dropped it in a batch of acid :S

So ... back to square one!

Hope you are all well ;)

Well, who would have guessed it, I went OUT tonight! Had a couple of drinks and dinner with a mate! Also did some celeb spotting as I saw the lovely Mr Dermot O'Leary (PHWOARGH!!!!). Had a good night and a lovely sleep on the tube!

Decided positive action was required today on the 'corrections to thesis' front ... going to take a week off and blast it ... maybe after that I can stop working every hour of every day and start enjoying real life again (and stop being a moany cow).

Forgot to mention it before but thanks are necessary to Mr DDevil (no idea how to put a link to his blog but its on the list over there <---) for helping me set up my bootiful blog :)

Anyway, time to sleep for moi!

Night night

p.s. DD ... we love you too :)

p.p.s. Pops, my favourite and only twin ... rAaaAaaAAAAaaAaaaAAAaR

p.p.p.s. Foxy, link my blog on your blog or I'll kick your teen bintette butt

Hmmmm ... how fucked up is this ...

I'm at work (AGAIN) and I don't want to go home ... why don't I want to go home?

Because the sooner I go home the sooner I have to go to bed and the sooner I have to get up and come to work again ... *sighs*

This blog thing is starting to piss me off now :(

Ello dirtbag

Nothing much to report, just in from dinner and pub.

Went to the bar after work ... very interesting conversations were had involving

1. Brown wings
2. Whether you would have anal sex for a million pounds (mostly directed at the boys in the group although funnily it was the girls that seemed to be more 'open' about it
3. Matthew Kelly and Frank Skinner
4. Billy Connoly and Parkie
5. Multiracial policies and the development of a racially equal society

It was Michael at works leaving do, he's heading back to Germany :(. On the bright side though, he's going back to live with his wife and daughter and is very happy :D Anyway, we went for thai food YUM and then to the pub ... surprisingly undrunk!

Anyhoo, about to go to bed!

Night night my sweet

Hello stinker

You must be bored if you are reading this and I can't promise you that it'll be too entertaining.

I'm just trying this out for now, don't know how often I'll post or anything. Decided to copy my twin (digitalskittles).

Anyway, so far for today I have nothing exciting to talk about ... worked my ass off all day, hopefully with some success, played table tennis (I ROCK at TT these days btw) and went to the bar at work for a cheeky glass of vino.


Will try to update soon. (Can you update nothing?)


Bubye
