I forgot to say that I am a owner of a Acer one since late September. It is a Christmas present for me but in the spirit of how Christmas comes early in shops, I was allowed to have it early. I had many woes with Tescos as the first one we got didn’t boot up, so it had to been brought back and replaced. I was also disappointed as it doesn’t have a sleeve in the box like in photos that it been reviewed in.

I didn’t like the Linux that came with in. I was way too simple and I felt like they didn’t trust me and that it was like something that RM had fiddled with as it was so restricted with right click menu being turn off and stuff. I knew I can turn that on but still, it didn’t feel right.

So long story short, I managed to get Ubuntu on a USB stick. I did managed to get it working with the stable version but I had problems with sound and the wifi. however I discovered that the beta version fixes all the problems and I only had to unclick something and reboot to get the wifi working. Good times.

I’m rather confused by my lesbian sister of mine as I recently discovered her blog by typing her username in to Google like you do. Whilst I won’t mention her real name, she calls herself Jay on this blog [not related to the one in the blogroll] and I really can’t understand why as she links to her Facebook which contains her proper name. I would never link to any of my profiles myself as I don’t want to encourage random strangers visitors.

I managed to get myself wet today as I was searching for a trolley at Tescos and it took awhile for some more to arrive. For a change I went to their Cafe which isn’t amazing place but I was upset as their coffee machine wasn’t working.

Since the 2007 flooding that happened I was worried since when it rained but today the heavy rain didn’t really fraze me much. I don’t like the rain but it not that bad I suppose.. at least I don’t live a country where there is volcanoes or earthquakes which damage places. I don’t think this country is that crap as it made out to be as there is much worse places to be at.

The college has treated me yet again even though I haven’t even had a full week yet. Media department has decided that their media students are going to go to the cinema. Maybe we will go behind the scenes? I’m quite excited about Thursday.

I thought I couldn’t post today as it took lots of trys to get Firefox working. I refuse to use Internet Explorer.

I really really want some at the moment.. I will do nearly anything to get some. I have forgotten plenty of stuff that I should of brought at Tescos. I wanted some chocolate, more crisps, and various other stuff that things such as my heart will really love me for. I eat all this stuff and I don’t get fat though.

Does anybody listen back to their voice and cringe? I know that I do. It something I will have to get over with as I’m doing Media for hopefully three years if it goes all well. I really hope I get a C in English this time round. I hope the saying ‘third time lucky’ is true. My parents will pay to get all the tuition I need to get this C!

16072008 I’m sorry that I’m posting the day after it happened yet again but here I go. Yesterday something which I was dreading throughout my childhood happened, my mum had a massive argument with my dad then drove off only to return to get changed into her work uniform.

I suppose I had it lucky as a child as some people I know have parents that have divorced or something like their Dad dying though their childhood and I didn’t even have my parents arguing till last night. I knew something wasn’t right about my parent relationship though, I never seen them hugging much, holding hands or even gross.. kissing! This is what I lead to believe of what parents should be doing in movies such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

I was kind of fazed this morning as when I went downstairs, I thought that my parents would still be fallen out with each other but they was perfectly happy eating breakfast. Maybe its down to my mum night shift and my dad having a snooze. Yeah, I happy for it to be that way but I didn’t quite recover from feeling poop last night, so I was frustrated that it was just being ignored completely.

I’m feeling fine now, I’m just bored as I’m normally am. I can’t wait until I can move out of this place but I feel that my mum never wants to let me go. I also feel that she would go completely bonkers if I left her alone with my dad.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that I went to Waitroses and Tescos looking for a job but they didn’t have anything suitable for me. I need temporary but everything temporary been taken up at June. I couldn’t of got a job in June as I went on holiday then.. Where is the free newspaper? :P
