Clearing up.

I have worked so much more today than I have in the past couple of months off. The whole task today was to clear my front garden which had junk that was in the garage. And to help complete this task my dad took the day off.. I haven’t got a driving license yet after all.

But I wasn’t too keen spending a day with him. I regret thinking that now as I ended up doing fine with him. Well after I said I couldn’t talk much due to my throat which was partly true. Me and dad have good moments with each other sometimes but he a complete dick sometimes. By that I mean that he overreacts and argues with me when he is pissed off with something unrelated.  I can’t complain though, we all are sometimes I guess. But going back on the subject, I didn’t want to talk much with him as it normally end up being annoying. I feel bad feeling like that though as least he is trying.

The day worked out like this. I got up more early than I needed to (not on purpose I must say, illness) and spent loads of time catching up with various blogs. I do admit some of these blogs I wouldn’t want anyone walking into the room when I’m on them. But I’m a teenager, what do you expect. :P Anyway, I wasn’t able to read them the past couple of days as I didn’t feel like reading much and was being sick way too often. When I noticed my dad was ready to do the task, I was quick to start it or it wouldn’t of happened.

I totally had fun murdering these chairs to little pieces. I wasn’t doing this just for the fun of it though, they wouldn’t fitted in the car unless I smashed them to bits. One word of advice though. Watch out for bits of flying wood. My arms has got all these cuts on it now. Oh well.. it was totality worth it.The other thing that was verging on the unsafe side is that I was trusted with a circular saw to make scrap wood that was oversized to fit the car. There was some dodgy moments when I thought something bad was about to happen. I had dust in my eyes aswell.

Oh yeah, so we managed to get all that junk to the skip in five car journeys. I shouldn’t call it the skip as its the recycling centre.  You can tell that by the fifth visit to the ’skip’ that I recognised the guys working there and they recognised me and my dad. I started to have a crush on one of them by the end of the day I had to admit. It was raining and whilst in a rush to throw the junk, I got detracted looking at him and walked past the pile I needed to put it on and put it on the wrong heap. I said sorry to the guy and he smiled. That was strange..

This morning was thirlling. Driving 60 miles an hour down some nearby country roads that had curves. I loved every moment of that lesson. It was the most fun I had since Disneyland Paris. Well in thrill sense. The only boring part was doing some hill starts. I used all the gears during the lesson aswell. Big thumbs up to the driving instructor to trust me to do some of that stuff.

My dad brought me a Sub today from Subway of course. I had the Sub of the day which was the Meatballs with melted cheese. I have to say that was the nicest sub that I have had in awhile though I never had one which has dripped. Once I finished the sub I discovered that there was cheese all over my jeans! It was a pain to clear with the one tissue left in the store. Oh well. Good times. :)

Contact lenses and Bolt 3D

Shot of a signpost in Abingdon town centre.

The photo is one I took when I was doing angles and viewpoints as part of my photography lessons. I finally managed to email some of the photos I took to post here when I’m lacking a photo. You guys love my photos it seems.

After having to get other people to put them in for me, I finally managed to put contact lenses in myself. Not panicking is one skill you have to learn to do, just stay calm and allow enough time to fail afew times. The first one I managed to put in my left one had to be took out as I got it too mucky. The right one is always a struggle but I managed it for once. I’m alright about my contact lenses check up appointment now.

Today was good fun. I went to the bus stop waiting for ages for the 35a and it reminded me of how many hours I must of waited for this bus when I went to school. I was about to call my Dad for a lift into Didcot but as I was going down my contact list, the bus arrived. As I got into Didcot, I noticed how much more windy it was and had a look in Next hoping to see one of my sister mates working in there. It seemed not.

After feeling awkward coming out of Next, I went in the direction of the cinema but ended up looking around Broadstreet which is a street mainly fulled with charity shops and more importantly, has a Subway. I glaced at the prices to make sure I have enough money left to have lunch there.

I looked at the time and wondered if the cinema would be open yet but thought I give it another few moments. So I headed to WHSmiths hoping to get a drink. Well that was till I looked at the price which was something like £1.79. I thought to myself this place is going to be next Woolworths disaster if they don’t lower their prices. I ended up getting a drink at Wilkinsons that was a only 89 pence to get the same drink of Diet Coke.

Bolt the Dog (C) Disney animation

It was ten to midday and therefore I thought as Bolt 3D started at ten past that it might be open. I really should of looked at the opening time before walking into the door. That hurt badly and I felt like a idiot. I recovered the situation by looking at the opening times and sighing. What to do for ten minutes I pondered to myself and then thought when I went into Argos with Dan for some reason.

The memory was when I finished my mock GCSE exam and did it in a different room to most of the year that had Dan and MJ among others. I left my phone on their desk as for once handed it over like you meant to but I forgot to pick it up. So I dashed back to the school and then chased back to Dan as I wanted to say goodbye properly. He asked when my bus was and said I could help him look at pool table stuff in the Argos till it came. Anyway back to the post, it ended up that I spent ten minutes acting like I was looking for stuff in Argos as it was warm place to wait.

When Cineworld did open up, I was first in and got my ticket with some rather expensive popcorn. I was expecting some cardboard glasses for the 3D movie however I had some neat ones which look like the safety glasses they have at schools. I rather enjoyed Bolt 3D and the effects was okay. Amazing would be over doing things but I can understand why Disney want the rest of their animations to be in 3D. I say be at least three rows back from the screen to benefit the most.

When I got out, I headed straight to the bus stop to check how long it will take for the bus to arrive. I had enough time to buy a Sub and therefore ate one whilst waiting for the bus. The bus was late but I wasn’t complaining because I had times when it never arrived before. On the way back in bus I saw a nasty crash with a ambulance and police that was sad to see.

Overall I had good time today. I didn’t feel so bad about being alone after all and it felt good that I could feel my independence. I’m hoping to go to gym soon but it all depending if my mom can give me a lift. :|

The replacement laptop charger is arriving tomorrow. Only problem about this is that I won’t be in to collect it from the UPS guy. I like how speedy Dell was on getting it to me but its shame they couldn’t waited to a day to send it. They will try again on Wednesday if I am to believe the email which is good. I don’t know if they looked at the laptop yet but the guy on the phone said it would be back within 4 days which means it will arrive when I’m in Disney. Fantastic, my dad will be too keen and fiddle with it meaning he mess up the first boot setup thing.

ZoomI helped out interviewing a assietent director today which meant I held a Zoom in the middle of the table cause the stand didn’t work. It was for the interview feature of the radio show I shall be doing when I’m back from Disneyland. I’ll need to make sure I’ve done all the paperwork and check with the others.

I am really excited about going to Disneyland Paris now. My bag is all packed with the new clothing I got because the other stuff I already had didn’t have the right pockets to keep my valuables such as my mobile phone or wallet in if I go on a roller-coaster or to keep the pickpockets out. I just hope the weather won’t drench me too much in France though I do realise that it won’t be hot. I love trains (not as sad as a train-spotter), so catching the Eurostar is a whole excitement in it self. :P

Oh, I nearly forgot: Please do the latest poll in the sidebar.. I just wondered how many of my readers are into theme parks.
