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. :|

Freedom for Christmas

I have pretty much have started my Christmas break now which means I have more time for other things like urm lets think. Tidying, Tidying and some more Tidying of the house to get it to have a good state for everybody time off in this festive season. It very exciting as the Christmas tree is all ready to be decorated.

I have managed to bug O2 enough now for them to give me a phone back even though it been since early November I sent my phone off to them for repair. I called them up and pressed 1 to chase up my phone to suddenly getting straight though which shocked me a little as I was thinking I was going to have to wait on the line. It was really good though as the guy I spoke to understood and offered me a n95 as a replacement. I know this phone isn’t the latest  phone about but it better than the Orbit 2 for me and most certainly better than the buggy Nokia flip phone I’m currently using.

Another thing I am excited about is that I am planning to make my own server using a cheap old computer I brought for £26 on eBay. I am going to call this project Stephan Seabrook as I am a fan of Stephan fry which has a video supporting Linux and I love Seabrook crisps. The main thing about this project is trying to be cheaper than hosting I brought before. The hosting is not going to be a replacement for the blog though.. :)

Anyway I better wrap this post up as I got lots to do today. It is rather hard to blog if you don’t do it regularly..

You should just ride a bike and smile.

I really need to get back on to my bike and ride to my collage plenty throughout this week as it only a couple of weeks until I have enrolled in collage and handed 92 quid of cash over to them. I also want to get out of the house and do something. This could be something that I could do and it doesn’t cost me a penny.

Its getting really boring for me not having any mates nearby my house or not having Laura about now. Living with my parents is depressing sometimes when you haven’t met with your mates for weeks, I would of gone to Stoke if it wasn’t with results day, drop in days  and enrolment day clashing with that idea. Why do I have to live in a street that is filled with old granny’s and young families?

I just have to appect that most my school pals are bastards for not keeping in touch with me throughout the weeks of time off. I would appreciate them not keeping in contact if they didn’t have my mobile number or if they didn’t have me added on social networking sites but most of them have me on both. I could of had some good times hanging about and going places but they chosen to ignore me completely, just because there in Didcot and I’m in Abingdon. Its not like there isn’t a bus idiots or that my Dad isn’t on sick leave for weeks.

Mewh – I know that I have met people that I get along with in collage so I’m not that pissed off but its just sad as it would of been fun and would of improved my time off in a great deal. Oh well..

Gunman let lose nearby my school

Prisoner Photo, 1902 (NARA)There is one week of term left now until we break up for Christmas. Or one week until I will be drinking Strongbow as a regular thing..

On Friday, a dodgy driven VW car got followed by the police from Oxford, when it arrived into Didcot. This is when the man got out of the car with a gun and ran off. The police never see him since.. When I left the school on that day, I thought it would be like a Action movie outside as I was watching one in the classroom when the school went into lockdown.

I thought I would hearing someone shouting ‘Duck!’ running fast with everything be hide you exploding as you dive down, but that didn’t really happen. All that really happened is that there was lots of police with yellow jackets on the streets.

The only exciting thing was the stupid and unbelievable rumours like a few of the coppers getting killed or that the girls at DGS that was evacuated ‘told to go to their homes’, were going to their boyfriends entering the area that was meant to be closed!
