I think I'm coming down with a cold- my throat feels ready to throb, and I can tell the snot is just aching to start pouring. I'm coughing up quite a lot of mucus now and my neck feels swollen. This is especially bad as I FUCKING HATE SORE THROATS! You get no time off school, you get no sympathy, and everyone looks all wounded when you get grumpy ( Read more... )

Looking in the news today, I see that we may be on the verge of a deadly outbreak of 'super flu'; one which we have little or no means of protecting ourselves against, caused by a deadly strain of bird flu apparrently about to become able to jump to humans. If this happens, what with the current vaccine shortage in places like America, we could ( Read more... )

I've just realised, having been reading back entery's of this journal, and others, that Livejournals are actually very, very boring things. We all witter about our lives and the entertainment factor is just non existant for the general public. Or indeed, anyone.

Well, another day, another driving lesson, as the old saying goes. I'm getting better now- I'm also starting to enjoy it more, and I can now happily drive (albeit slowly) down a road without my instructor having to clutch the wheel in a death grip and scream instrcutions at me as I slowly drift into the path of an oncoming 14 wheeler, which is ( Read more... )

Well, two hours of driving today... I've been told that, although my clutch control is good, I can't steer for shit. I have a mildly suicidal approach to driving, I freely admit: when faced with a long stretch of road I just get the urge to hammer down it as fast as I can and hope, with the help of some rather erratic steering, to avoid any ( Read more... )

Well, I'm only one and a quater hours away from my first ever driving lesson: 2 hours on the roads around newton, I guess, with me actually behind the wheel of a real car! (those who have seen me play Grand Theft Auto may not be too thrilled about the prospect (I'm known for my disregard for traffic laws and/or public and my own personal saftey on ( Read more... )

It's raining again. It's always raining, plus I still feel so fucking tired. And I haven't actually bothered to meet up with anyone this half term (too much effort I guess). I'm sooooo fucking lazy sometimes. And bored. Hence this entery. Well, that killed five seconds, more complete update next time, folks.

Just saw another episoide of Seinfeld; I beleive I enjoyed it more than last time, yup, I can feel my enjoyment kicking up a notch with each episoide: I'm definetly getting the DVD ( Read more... )

For some reason, my parent were discussing my mother's underwear at the dinner table today; there was nothing I could do except sit there and hope it didn't get too raunchy. Luckily it didn't, but as they began to debate on the possibilities of frilly and bulky underwear I lowered my head into my pasta ready to drown myself in it were they to take ( Read more... )
