When I go up to Stoke-on-trent I always feel refreshed and clean. I think it because I go to a place where I don’t care what people judgements of me are or that I meet people I don’t meet often slash never again. But also when I go up there, I have more thinking space. I sometimes don’t have anyone to chat to, so I have a brainstorm to myself.

As part of one of the many hard thinking sessions I had whilst up in Stoke, I realise that there some things that I used to do no longer fit in with my new lifestyle I now seem to be changing to. My college grades are doing alright but I’m not putting as much effort as I could be putting into it. I realised now that the effort I’m putting in to writing blog posts could be better used with writing essays and the such.

The other thing which I thought about which scared me is that the information I’m handing out on this blog isn’t safe and also means that random people I don’t want anything to be involved with is reading about my life. That isn’t good.

Yet another point is that my mates read this blog which isn’t bad but it has gotten to the point that I can’t mention things as part of a conversation as they already read it on line. I don’t feel secure that people read my life as a book anymore and I want to close that open door.

I don’t know what this means for this blog then. I suppose what this means is that it won’t get regularly updated as it once did. This could also mean that the content may change to something different. I just think that when it gotten to the point where you are upset when you viewership for the day has dropped by one that it isn’t no longer a healthy activity to do.

This blog isn’t all negative though. I changed as a person reflecting on the past and being able to see what I did wrong. It improved my writing skills which has helped with college. If the 2006 posts wasn’t deleted, you would see a very noticeable difference. It has also meant that i was able to tell people things I would of never had the guts to say in real life.

This isn’t the end of the blog. It just the end of what the current content is. I haven’t got the time or effort to be active blogger or webmaster anymore. It doesn’t appeal to me now. I loved blogging and to a point i still do but I don’t love what the current effects of the blog is.

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. :|

I woke up atiny bit earlier that morning as we found that we didn’t allow enough time last morning to get up. However it took me to have a shower first again to encourage Adam and Sam to get up. Breakfast was more easy as I knew the ranks of it all now. I had orange juice plenty of times and I was drinking it just I after I poured it from the machine. The glasses was really small though. I had my useal of hot chocolate and bread rolls aswell.

I went around the park with slightly different people and started in the studio park for a change. I started on Aerosmith and went on it like five times after each other. Each time moving slightly more to the front of it. It much more better at the front of it. I worn my glasses this time as James told me that you could and was strange how you didn’t loose or break your glasses on it.

I was feeling really ill at lunchtime and just wanted a drink but Sam encouraged me to have a meal. At first he thought I didn’t have the money and offered to pay which I thought was nice of him. However I said I just didn’t feel good and paid for it myself.

I had my group photo shoot at 2pm and the group found me and Jessica. We ended up going on this ride where you drive a lawnmower car around a fixed track. I had a faster car than the car in front of me which was annoying as I wanted to go flat out.

At the end of the day I managed to lose both of the group and panicked catching the bus to the hotel. I met up with some people I knew there though. After doing this quiz and the photo shoots outside, we hanged about waiting for the bus. I was on the floor facing the other way and when I dashed for it, I managed to damage my neck and back. I didn’t feel the pain at the time.

At the station, it took ages for check in to open. I was the first person in to it though but ended up having to line my bag up and waiting for a sniffer dog to smell all the bags. This meant that everyone else in the trip went on and I was stuck there till the dog was happy.

The jounary back home is when I noticed I injuryed myself when I sat in my train seat. I couldn’t be as social as I wanted to be as I couldn’t move very much. I went to the cafe though as standing up felt better. I had the last chocolate brownie, a bottle of water and a hot choccie. I loved that brownie when I ate it.

The coach was waiting for us within the Eurostar station and jounary to the college was alright. My mom was already at the college when I got there and got home quickly thankfully.

Everyone alarms in the room went off at 8am like planned and I even programmed the hotel phone to wake us up. I had the shower first then Adam managed to steal it before Sam. Sam had to rush as he only had 5 mins to shower and get out to the meeting point. I was one of the first to walk to the breakfast place and it was alright. I had acouple of bread rolls and lots of hot chocolate. I wanted more but couldn’t be arsed.

Found the group I went around yesterday and catched the bus. I can’t be bothered to type about the rides but I had a good day in the parks. (I will add more at a later point) I had lunch in the park and had a nugget meal, notice how it doesn’t mention chicken. Well it defo didn’t taste like chicken. I enjoyed it though..

In the late afternoon, people gathered into my room and began pissing about. I get all worried when people behave like that as part of my autism I think and didn’t want to pay if they broke the fan. Then the subject of shaving James eyebrowns came up and at first they wanted to do it on the top bunk of the bed in the room. I made it clear to do it somewhere else so they moved into next door which was linked.

I was getting worried when they joked about doing it to someone else and I felt unsafe from the point they said that. When I saw that they did one of James eye browns and was what I thought forcing into it, I panicked and told one of the tutors about it. They was pissed that I dubbed them in and had ago at me. I’m a honest person and I don’t make up stuff for whatever the reason. So when Beci asked me what I was worried about, it just flowed out of my month.

I went to my room and secretly cried to myself. I wanted to just go to sleep but ended up slapping water over my face to try to hide the fact I was upset and went with the group to the bus feeling awkward what happened. When I arrived in the village I saw my proper mates Bradley, Tiffany, and Kay and they asked if I wanted to go back to the hotel with them as they sensed that I wasn’t happy. I ended not having dinner and snacking on Crisps and Coke.

I watched Disney channel in their room whilst we stayed up for the late meeting time. When everyone was late for this meeting, they was drunk. Kiraon kept telling everyone that ‘Big men have big willies’ and somebody kept asking me if I liked their hat. It was funny though.

It took ages for me to get to sleep as everyone in my room and the linking one was hyped up from the night out in the bar. This really pissed me off and Sam sensed that I wanted to sleep. He was great as he kept hinting to James to go back to his room. But still, they all mucked about till like 2am.
