    the festive spirit
    I realise I am procrastinating to avoid the mountains of work I am missing OTC to catch up on, but I went shopping earlier (to get materials for my project before you ask!) I was in The Ridings shopping centre and there was a primary school big band playing christmas songs and people in costumes collecting for charity and entertaining the children there, and I just felt really happy and festive and I couldn't keep from smiling.

    I know I always complaining about the commercialisation of Christmas and the fact that it starts earlier and earlier every year, but it really is the only time of year when at least a few people feel they should be more giving what with it being the season to be jolly etc. I'll bet that those charity collectors got more money today than they would in June, because somehow Christmas just seems to bring out the giving side of people. Maybe it is because they feel guilty that they are spending so much money on their family and on christmas food, or maybe the sight of a snowman on stilts in the shopping centre just makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Whatever, it works!

    Anyway, I'm now really looking forward to Christmas. It is a time of parties, getting drunk and spending far too much money on presents and new outfits for said parties, but I think there is nothing better than my whole family sitting down together for a meal (and getting drunk together, but hey!) when we don't do it enough! Its the one day of the year where we all know where we will be and who we will be with. And its all about my Grandma cheating horrifically at Articulate and singing stupid songs and playing stupid games all together.

    In short, roll on Christmas!

    play fighting
    Here is a random revelation I had today...

    OK, so I was play fighting with Kieran this morning and it struck me just how strong he was. Maybe its because I don't have a sibling that I've had play fights with or whatever, but I suddenly realised that I was completely helpless at several points. Even when I put all my strength into what I was doing I just couldn't do anything that made any form of difference. Anyway, I just always thought if anyone ever attacked me that I would be strong enough to fight them off and run away or whatever, and this made me realise that I was very mistaken in that assumption. I was completely powerless and defenceless and that scared me, because I have never felt like that before. It reminded me that I'm not invincible, if Kieran had been an attacker or wanted to do something to hurt me I would have been at his mercy, and that when people tell me not to walk places alone at night or whatever that actually they are right, and that I am really in no position to be so cocky as to assume that I would be alright. I wouldn't be.

    So girlies (and guys too, for that matter)basically I'm trying to say look after each other and let people look after you (I know most of us do anyway, but I just had to say it) and don't over estimate yourself in that way, it is better to be safe than sorry after all!

    Women's mentality
    Ok, all guys have basically said that they will never understand women. Well I'm sorry to say it but I have come to the conclusion that I will never understand me either, so god knows how the rest of you cope.

    To put it this way, I was in a medative mood in the gym earlier as i pounded along next to two other women. The one on my left was (to put it kindly) a little overweight and really struggling and she gave up after five mins running, but I seriously commended her for getting into the gym and actively doing something about it, rather than sitting at home crying with yet another pie or raiding her savings to pay for plastic surgery for a quick fix. The woman on my right was a skinny rake, you could see every bone in her body, she had no breasts whatsoever, and she had been running for about half an hour by this point. i commend her wanting to stay in shape and whatever, but she was the absolute extreme and had clearly taken fitness way too far.

    I came to the conclusion that no matter what the media portray as the perfect body, so woman will ever be happy with her figure. As an example, I was 'dieting' a lot before going to uni, losing weight and then just putting it back on again, I don't think I was ever particularly happy with my figure. I went to uni at my heaviest ever and decided to give up on watching what I ate because it made me miserable. A year on I've actually lost a stopne and a half and I find it so iroinic that i did it without consciously trying. But now I'm lighter than i've been since I was 16 or 17, and i think I'm more conscious about my body, in fact I would say i hate the worst parts more now than i did when they were bigger. Is this body image really thanks to the media's preoccupation with the skeletal model? Because while I think that this image plays a role, it really is down to your own perceptions and opinions right? I don't give a flying ferret how much Kate Moss weighs or whatever, but I do know that my thighs look big in those jeans blah blah blah.

    I so admire women who say they are happy with their body shape, because it really shouldnt be something to hung up about. But just like nobody ever likes their own hair (its too thin, too thick, its curly, its too straight etc) I don't think that anyone can ever be totally happy with their own figure. I mean come on, if someone asked you about your body i bet you would say 'I'd like to be taller / thinner / more muscley' etc.

    I dunno where this rant is going. I just got a bit freaked out being between these two women in the gym and seeing these two extremes and wondering how they got there, and then realising how easy it would be to become one of them. And I think this made me realise that I worry too much.

    Now I'm worried that I should worry less...

    Thus I have unintentionally explained why people smoke!

    And bored you all to death in the process.

    And confused myself.

    Does anyone remember what I was talking about?

    why have everything the same?
    right, having been wokring in my pub for nearly three weeks now, it confuses me that regulars come in and have exactly the same drink, every single time, no exception.

    i really hope i never get into the mindset where i do this. i mean, there is so much more to try! why not push the boat out and try a lager rather than an ale once in a while? Its like, why go on holiday to the same place every year when there is a whole world out there to explore? OK, now and again doing something you have done before is safe because you know will enjoy it or whatever, but what if there is something out there that is even better but you are too scared or narrow-minded to try it?

    who knows, baileys and lager might actually taste quite nice! ;P

    long time no type
    Hello!

    Ok, so i just realised that I really have not written in LJ for ageeeees. I still read all your posts, but I guess I've just been obsessed with facebook, among other things. My last proper post was when I crashed my car and this upsets me, so here is an update on pretty much the last 6 months of my life, but shortened!

    January - Well, as many of you know this was when the new year was starting out crap for me, I crashed car, so had to do the whole insurance company thing and buy a new car. Then it was back to unimaversity and sorting out our house for next year. I'm living in Wakefield with six other girls in a lovely townhouse, it will be so much fun even if we do all end up getting PMT at the same time!

    Feb - Well, two days after spending yet anopther Valentine's day being bitter and twisted because once again I'm single and everyone else in the world seems to be in love or whatever, the guy I've been after since about October asked me out. Yay. Lovely fit army guy, I won't say too much about Kieran here because no doubt you will hear me blathering on about him at some point and be so totally sick of it that you will throw me from the nearest window...!

    Mar - ya know, thinking back, I really don't think anything happened in March. how sad am I? It probably consisted of going out in Leeds a lot, not doing any work etc. Good times!

    April - I went skiing with OTc (Officer Training Army Thing) in France. It was the craziest holiday ever. Skiing all day and drinking all night with a hundred other cadets for a week. It was amazing. Such antics ensued such as me waking up at 3am on the night that I didn't go out to find three very drunken and semi naked men in my bed (none of them my boyfriend I might add!) That was amusing. And yes, there are pictures. Partway through the week my face went pink and swelled up like a balloon because I was allergic to my suncream, lovely. Was on 11 pills a day for three days just to get rid of it! And then guess what, got back from Skiing and came down with a horrible chest infection, was ill for three weeks and didn't get to make it up to watford to see you all (which was very upsetting and annoying!)

    May - Well, I had my one and only written exam which was super-duper fun, then had my practical exam where I had to work with the actors (NEVER AGAIN!) and my design presentation, both of which I worked stupidly long hours to finish. Honestly, I was in uni from 9am every morning until 10pm in the evening, and then stayed up until 2am at home working. I also did the very scary thing of 'meeting the parents'. Took a trip to Alsager for Kieran's dad's 50th and it was actually really fun, and apparently I was 'approved of'. The poor boy has yet to meet my family....oh dear.

    June - Well I had all of finished my course apart from a few end of year tutorials, so spent the days enjoying BBQs, playing rounders and generally dossing around. Went on a trip to Alton Towers and a road-trip to Scarborough which was ace, I love Scarborough. Also had the OTC Summer Ball, which was amazing. Mandy, laura and Nicole came up and stayed with me for the weekend and we went to the ball on saturday night, which we all enjoyed very much and got extremely drunk on cheap alcohol.

    I'm back home now, trying to find a job and generally doing nothing. On Thursday (tomorrow in fact) I'm heading back up to Leeds to pack up my room properly and then on friday I'm off on OTC Summer Camp for 2 weeks (my friends have been calling it Boot camp, which it kinda is). I'm so excited and yet terrified at the same time. I shall come back from that bruised, bitten, tired, sore etc and then go off to Morocco for a week avec laura and Mandy, so will look uber sexy in a bikini covered in bruises and looking like a victim of domestic violence. Will hopefully be spending the last week of july in Watford to see you all, Haven't seen most of you for 6 months because I was ill at easter. Miss you so much.

    Oh yeah, and hopefully my parents will be going away for a bit at the end of aug, meaning I have a house to myself. I'm thinking major house party week! yay. will let you all know! you can come stay with me! yay.

    I think that's all. Miss you lots. See you all soon. Hope you are having good summers!

    hey guys, i need your help

    I'm looking to go camping in summer with some friends from Uni, we want to go somewhere near a beach (wales possibly, or cornwall area, but we arent bothered) but we can't find a campsite that isnt 'quiet' or 'families'. basically we are looking for somewhere where they wont mind a group of 8 or so of us getting drunk and being loud in the small wee hours etc.

    anyone been anywhere or know of somewhere that fits the bill?

    Ladies and gentleman, this weekend I shall be doing FISH, Fighting In Someones House! It is what I have looked forward to since joining OTC! I get to run around going 'grrrr, fear me' and will mosyt probably be killed at least twice, seeing as the mortality rate when fighting in built up areas is about 90%.

    On the bright side I will probably die of hypothermia rather than bullet wounds, we are sleeping outside this weekend......

    Miss you all so much! Can't wait until Easter! Really wanna see you all! I'm hoping to come up to Watford to coincide with Emma's party, so please please please organise lots of fun stuff around then and then offer me shelter for the nights because I have so much to be organising at the moment that I can't think that far ahead!

    random madness
    hey, i realise it has been a long time since i updated, however i find this story very amusing and thought you could all laugh at my stupidity.

    ok, so I'm seeing this guy from OTC (army) training called Kieran, and the other day I received a picture message on my phone. It was not from a number I recognised, but it was of a guy, wearing an army shirt and Kieran's gas mask and holding his bayonet. I texted back the number asking who it was. Here is when the mystery began.

    The mystery texter, henceforth known as X, would not tell me who it was, however I guessed that it was Nick, one of Kieran's flatmates. However a bit later I get a message from another number and it is Nick, so X can not be Nick.

    Over the next few days X keeps texting me, saying things like 'I love you' and 'you have pretty eyes'. I asked Kieran about it and he said he knew nothing, but I could tell he was lying and that he knew something.

    Anyway, I was in a pub with Kieran and Nick on Nick's birthday and I get a text from X saying 'i like ur pretty white top'.....I actually am wearing white. This kinda freaked me out a bit, because I could not see anyone else I knew in the pub.

    X kept texting me asking to meet up for a drink. I told him (I knew it was a him cos I called the number with a 141 in front and didnt recognise the male voice that answered) that i was not going to meet up with a random person texting me who i didnt know and wouldnt tell me their name. So X confessed that his name was Brendan.

    Great!

    I don't know ANYONE called Brendan.

    I don't even know a BRENDA!

    I asked Brendan how he got my number, and he said he got it off Kieran and that he had seen me around and really liked me, and wanted to meet up for lunch. I told him I was not going to meet him, especially if he was a friend of Kieran's, as common sense told me that it would not go down well to be seeing a guy and then meet his friend for lunch!

    Anyway, Brendan then adds me on msn. This kinda freaks me out and I start having a massive go at Kieran asking why he is giving my details out to his friends, and saying that if he doesn't like me he just has to say, rather than setting me up with random stalker-friends.

    Then Brendan phones me and, guess what, it was NICK all along. When he had texted me from 'his' phone, it had actually been his friends! I could not believe I had been taken in!!!! I had been getting so freaked out about this weird stalker who knew me and was declaring his love for me, and it was Nick and Kieran having a laugh all along.

    Men!

    You are all pathetic!

    (Its funny to look back on though!)

    things ARE looking up
    well guys, after my year started so crap I didn't hold out much hope, but things are getting better.

    Firstly the woman who hit me, despite doing all she could 2 avoid it, has accepted liability for the accident which makes everything ten times easier.

    Then my insurance company told me that because of my new (safer!) address and postcode, I'm owed a £90 rebate on my insurance.

    AND

    I won a makeover worth £150 with Gloss Makeovers in London. I get hair, makeup, facial etc and then a photoshoot, with no obligation to buy the photos. How cool is that???

    Feeling so much happier now!

    2006, not a good year so far
    well I have decided that 2006 is not going to be my good year. I may as well curl up in a cupboard now and just emerge in 2007, hopefully unharmed.

    let me explain. as many of you know i spent new year in laura harpins bathroom, being rather ill. i shall gloss over the details, but lets just say I thought at midnight, 'oh well, things can only get better from here.' i was very wrong.

    yesterday, driving home from watford, i was in a car crash and wrote off my car.

    luckily i'm ok, just very stiff and bruised. got mild whiplash and im pretty shaken up, as you can imagine, but no lasting damage.

    bascially what happened was i was doing 70 on the motorway, in the slow lane. it was dark and wet. the car in front of me suddenly slammed on its brakes cos he was about 2 miss his exit. i slammed on my brakes 2 and skidded across the wet ground, bracing myself 2 go up the bumper of a people carrier (who would have come off worse i wonder???). luckily i missed the car in front by inches. However, the car behind me was not so lucky.

    the driver slammed into the back of me and i skidded off the road, fortunately into a well placed layby. Managed 2 miraculously stop the car and got out to survey the damage. i nearly fainted when i saw it.

    my back windscreen was shattered, by bumper and boot folded in almost halfway, my boot had flown open and the bumper was hanging off. my right back wheel was jammed by the crumpled metal (although somehow my hazard lights were still working).

    the scariest thing was what had happened 2 my seat. It had gone off the rollers and the back had been flung towards the back seat on the impact, and was jammed down in the horizontal position. apparently the fact that i had been clinging on to the steering wheel bracing for impact is what stopped me being thrown back with the seat. I didnt think much of it until i heard the guy in the recovery vehicle talking to the police man in the car that showed up, assuming that 'the ambulance had already taken the citroen driver 2 hospital'.....

    anyway, the woman who crashed in2 me was really lovely. although it wasnt really her fault, she did all she could 2 avoid me, technically she was travelling 2 close and she basically admitted liability. we had a great chat whilst we waited 4 my dad 2 come pick me up, she told me all about the fact that she wanted 2 leave her husband...nice.

    so my car got carted off 2 a ploice depot. i had 2 take a breathaliser test, which i passed and got 2 keep the blowy tube thing (!). the police recommended i went 2 A and E so my parents took me. They put a collar on me and i had three xrays because of the speed i was possibly doing on impact they had 2 make sure there was no damage. the docotr who saw me was so so so so fit and i was like 'omg this is so embarrasing, i have mascara marks under my eyes from where ive been crying!'

    anyway, everything checked out fine so i just have 2 take painkillers. my back and neck r really stiff and i hav some bruising from my seatbelt, but the worst thing is the shock. I was so lucky that i was on my own in the car, if i had had anyone sitting behind my seat...

    i guess thats the worst thing, i keep thinking 'what if...', which i know i shouldnt but it is still really scary.

    so now i have the wonderful task of insurance claims and finding a new car. jolly good.

    as i said before, hopefully from now this year can only get better!!!

    Current Mood: shocked

    merry xmas
    hey guys

    i would like 2 take this opportunity of thanking edd 4 his hospitality when i visited last weekend, he took me in and gave me a bed for a night (ditto dom btw, but we just kinda crashed in his pool room).

    anyway, i hav been crap and not sent cards this year, so i would like to wish u all a very merry xmas. i hope u all get excessively drunk, eat far 2 much food and spend the day watchin lame but entertaining films on tv.

    love u all

    Laura

    p.s. i have just rediscovered the magic of 'my little pony' - however i may not be saying this in a weeks time when i am sick of my sister constantly playing ONLY that on the DVD player. That and Jimbo....oh god, kill me now!

    guess hu is back????
    hey guys

    ok, i fianlly have internet! woot! so here is an update on what is ahpp-enin 2 me in the last 3 - 4 months!

    went 2 uni

    am loving uni

    joined the army

    am loving the army

    i actually have joined the army btw, im in Leeds University Officer Training Corps. I can now fire rifles, survive in the great outdoors with very little, sleep under a piece of fabric, ambush the enemy, patrol the area, walk 2 miles in 1/2 hour with a 35lb bergan on my back and a rifle in my hands, secure a platoon harbour and drink beer like a man! it rocks. The drama diva has gone hardcore, lol.

    i was wondering the other day, have i changed since being at uni? i can't really tel. I don't think you can change when u r at uni, just circumstances make your persaonality evolve. I mean, essentially, you are the same person, and goin 2 uni doesnt alter the experiences u hav had before uni, so do you really change?

    anyway, that is, essentially, months of thought and experiences in a few select lines. Obviously more has actually happened 2 me, and i hope i have thought about more than just this. I just thought i would let you all know that i am still alivbe and have not been struck down by a renegade scally. lol.

    OK people, I am officially moving! My room is taken up by two boxes, one for stuff I am also taking to Uni and one for Non - Uni stuff. It is so hard to decide what I wanna take.

    Anyway, I shall be moving to a place far far away called Wiltshire, and I am very near StoneHenge. So anyway, I shall expect you all to phone me saying "Hey, I really wanna see that historic monument known as Stone Henge, could I possibly come and stay with you in the holidays as well?"

    In return, expect a phonecall form me saying "Please, i really need to hang out with friends other than my cousins. Can I come to Watford and sleep at your house for a night?"

    So there we go. I shall be moving to 32 Stone Close, Winterslow on friday. This road shall henceforth be known as Wisteria Lane, because like in Desperate Housewives it is perfect, with neatly trimmed lawns, immaculate hedges, clean cars, good little children playing football in the street and housewives dressed in two-pieces and pearls arranging coffee mornings.

    I wish I was joking.

    They are gonna get a shock when we move in. My dirty car. An enormous and noisy dog. My sometimes very vocal sister. My Dad "Pruning" the bushes then leaving the debris on the lawn for days...

    We shall be popular.

    OMG I just saw Team America and it was hilarious! "Rumpleteazer held me down and I was raped by Mister Mistofoless" i nearly died laughing! The doorbell rang in the middle though so I missed the sex scene (I rented it on Front Row), how typical is that!?

    I can't believe it took me so long to see the film!

    I have been renting films like every night because my rents are away. Have so far watched 'National Treasure' - entertaining, I only actually rented it to watch Sean Bean though, and Vanity Fair - really rather strange and a bit pants. Next on my list is Dear Freddie - it looks quite sad but has Gerrard Butler in it (aka The phantom of the opera - swoon)....how shallow am I?

    Off to see Charlie and the Chocolate factory tomorrow. I would say just for Johnny Depp but he looks freaky in it, so I'm actually just watching it for the chocolate. Mmm, chocolate...I may go and make myself some of the hot variety.

    I wish I owned a hot chocolate fountain...but REAL chocolate!

    How fat would I be?

    Tim Boardman would have a field day...I would soooo love to ahve lost loads of weight when I next see him so he has to eat his stupid arrogant comments the bastard!

    There, I feel much better now!

    Put your hands together for Mr Pilgrim please
    I would just like to express my congratulations to the cleverest person I know. Ben Pilgrim. (Turn to Page 20 on the free Watford Observer for more info). Basically he did really well at this international chemistry competition, and sat a five hour theory exam and a five hour practical exam, and got a bronze medal. The guy really is a genius!

    On a different note the Edi preview went well, despite Jess allowing half the audience to see me getting changed, so wiv my skirt around my ankles.... Part from that it was great!

    I won't be around for a while now....cos I'm off to Edi land early saturday morning! Yay!

    Love you all, please phone us on results day so we can chat etc. Missing you all!

    Guess who is back...
    Blondie is back! I am once again blonde, curtesy of Dom's Dad. He wanted me to be blonde for my aprt in the play so I now have short blonde hair and I love it!

    Seriously though, it was amazing. I went to this posh salon in St Albans with Niki and Caroline and we had our hair and nails done (for a huge discount cos basically we have this deal with the salon and newspapers that advertises the salon and the show....looong story but you get the idea, like a sponsorship deal). ANYWAY.

    So I'm sitting having my hair done by TWO people, and then a third is doing my nails. I'm brought fresh juice on a silver palter with biscuits and offered wine! I had a french manicure, hair restyle, full head of foil highlights, wash, cut and blow dry, then some amazing hair products (ALTERNA - they cost like £30 a bottle!) all for FREE!!!!!

    It was wicked. I felt like a star!

    Got the preview tonight...wish me luck. I have to repeatedly kiss a guy on stage, agree to sex on a chair and swear til I'm blue in the face in front of my parents. I'm not nervous in the slightest...ahem!

    Current Mood: It is tonight!

    Hey guys, I though I would advertise a really wonderful event taking palce in St. Albans on 3rd August.

    It is the one...

    The only...

    YES! The preview of 'The Reality Checker'.

    OK, sorry if that was a let down, 'TRC' is the play Niki and I are in during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Niki is also the all singing all dancing Stage Manager, and Jess is ASM, Dom is lighting....so EVERYONE you know who MATTERS!)

    Anyway, as it is far easier for many of you to see the St Albans show rather than visiting us in Edinburgh (but please do!) I wish to cordially invite you to see it. It is a pretty good show and entertaining (I play a super-bitch-whore, with emphasis on the whore...but you will have to see it to find out!)

    So anyway. 7.00pm at New Place, St Albans (V near to Dom's), then drinks in town afterwards?

    Please come, we need an audience!

    Love you all!

    Water Fighting Randomness
    Hello everyone.

    Well, that was random. I just had a waterfight....

    With my mum and dad.

    You see, it all started when my muma nd I both needed the loo. See, we only have one toilet in our house so it was a mad scramble up the stairs which Mum won. She then proceeded to pee very loudly making lots of loud sighs to rub it in. So i got a flannel and soaked it and when she came out I flicked the water onto her.

    I go into the loo and before I come out I hear whispering. I peer around the corner to see my Mum and Dad with full glasses of water hiding around the corner. I retreat into the bathroom and lock the door, Mum throws her water and misses.

    Then ensues a "sitting it out" contest between my dad and I. Finally I come out and he threatens me with the water. I am forced to go down on my knees and beg for mercy. However when Mum comes upstairs to see I knock the water out of Dad's ahnds...all over Mum.

    Dad refills his glass and chases me out into the garden. I run to the trampoline only to find that Dad and Mum have the hose.

    Much bouncing and water follows. (For the guys out there - I was wearing a white t-shirt...happy now?)

    Anyway, to cut a long story short I got drench, from head to foot, and am now contemplating pneumonia. Lol, jokes, it was actually such good fun.

    Random.

    But fun.

    Current Mood: how random
