Never Should Go Shopping By Myself

OMG I finally got paid yesterday. £300+. So I went into town
I now have only about £140.
Should never go shopping in the sales.
The main sapper was going into HMV. They had a sale on. It was Godly(I spent about £64). I ended up with:
A Bigger Bang - The Rolling Stones (CD)
Collected - Massive Attack (Double Layer Vynal CD)
Placebo - Placebo (CD)
Black Market Music - Placebo (CD)
Once More With Feeling - Placebo (CD)
Parachutes - Coldplay (CD)
Gorrilaz - Gorrilaz (CD)
Howl's Moving Castle - Myazaki (DVD)
Once I had bought all this I went down to GamesWorld (Pauls). While I was there I got a few Magic Boosters and A new Tome for the D and D collection (OMG I think I am going blind with the studlynes of that book "Tome of Magic") which came to about £35.
I had already drawn out £60 so I now have about £20 left to pay for the Biology trip.

I did not realy need any of this stuff and I still things more than the things I bought. I need a new Jacket, as the one I bought before Chrimbo is a cheap suede and is going shiny where I put my bag. I will not throw it away I will try and get it more shiny and old before I do that. I also need a new Suit Jacket. It would have cost about £120 for one and all I need is the Jacket again. Luckly I am still owed money from work and that is about £140.

I can no longer go shopping by myself I spend too much and I never get what I need.
(I also bought a remote for my mp3 player £22 a bit much but cheaper than the carry case £25)

One Of The MOST Boring Weekends Ever 2

Well I had fun this weekend. No net. They are getting a new service provider and the net is down due to no broadband connection being present. I could still connect to Linksys but have no access to any of the amazing shite I normally look at.

I got a fair amount of coursework done because of it. I am now only stuck on the sql and have no example to work from. Looks like Wastel is gonna get leaned on and Bede too.
I also never got chance to talk to anyone on the net. I felt completly alone for the first time. I know I have a phone but I dont like to ring people just because I am bored. Could get annoying and also I never know what to talk about.

The most annoying thing about the weekend was my mam. She got a cold and by gum didnt we know it. She moped around and snapped at me all weekend. I think on sunday it was due to a lack of Mothers day card. I did not want to give it too her because she was snapping and ful;l of cold. I had nothing to give her either as I am in a bit of cash flow crisis (wont get paid until thurs) so I am going to postpone Mothers day until next weekend until she is better and I can get her something.
She has also decided that a bathroom visit as regular as clockwork is neccissary to help the day move along. This visit is at 6:15 am. She could not be any more loud and wakes me up every morning. She is like a herd of elephants on their way thorugh the jungle. Chipboard and plaster walls are very thin too.

The only LOL I had this weekend was that of going round and having a game of Magic with Ollie and Cral (both just done an all nighter) and the randomness of the Chuck Norris quotes of doom.
"Chuck Norris only has 2 speeds , Walk and Kill"

All in all a very poor weekend. Alone with my parents

V for Vegitarian

Over the past few months I have been getting more and more unhappy with eating meat. This has been a slow thing and I cannot figure out where it comes from. I think it was the only ever Beef Welington I have had. It was just a lump of animal muscle on my plate. I think this is what is starting to anoy me about it the fact that it is another animals flesh. It is not an annoyance just sadness for the poor animal that has been slaughtered for me to eat. In the 21st century do we realy need to eat that much meat?

It has taken me months to get the bottle to tell my parents the carnivores that they are that I am veggie in a way. They seem to have meat with every meal and never change to a healthier option (suasage, bacon, burger, chips and beans for tea anyone or perhaps the more healthy Kebab). They have taken it on board very well but are a bit noneplussed at the fact that I just don't want to eat meat anymore. They have asked my auntie for some recipies (she has only 45 cookery books) and Shirley (the veggie from around the corner).

When I said "in a way" I meant that I am not a fussy veggie like Matty (wont eat anything near, with any sort of animal product in it) I will eat the things with retin in and other animal based products in just as long as it is not obvious but no meat of any kind. So in short no Fish, Poultry, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Mutton, Game and any other that I have missed off the list.

I am not doing this to rebel I feel I am doing this to get a more healthy diet at home (school is controled by me) and also just because I hate the idea of me personally eating meat. I will not try and convert anyone to the cause and will not make any silly jokes at people shoving sausages into there gullet (as per usual at the games club).

I will keep you posted on how this goes and whether I lapse. It will not affect me just I will feel ashamed with myself.

UPDATE 23/03/06
Will have to start next monday to give my parents time to adjust. so far this week I have had
Roast beef (first night and the excuse was it was nearly out of date and too much for them),
Sweet and Sour Chicken (ready meals piss me off anyway),
And A KFC tower meal (ow realy nutritious for a tea).
All these were at home and I now think that my parents are gonna try and push me into eating meat dilliberatly. I hate it when they do this. They think they are right to govern what I do so long as I am under there roof. I am 18 and they treat my like I am 5. My mam still thinks I dont like certain foods (tomato's, Spinach, Kidney beans, caulliflower, e.t.c) and wont do them because she thinks I dont like them. Why wont she listen to me! aarrgggggg
I understand it is there job to feed in there eyes and support me. But too much support will make me very annoyed like not being able to stay out after 11:30 without getting a phonecall. That realy does piss me off.

The Loss Of Kittens

We have to give the kittens up. Donna gave us the kittens to look after until her new house was built. I thought great at first but then I remembered doing a favour for one of dads family never gets anything good to come of it. So far we have spent about £120 on them and not got a penny back and I dont think we will.

The main reason for giving the cats back is my dads allergys. He is slightly allergic to them and is getting worse. He is now wheezing on a night and snoring in his sleep. Mam cannot stand seeing my dad fill himself with drugs and inhalor steriods. This is her reason for getting rid of them.
The secondary reason is because mam cannot get away with them. The cats prat her about somet chronic. They never go in the kitchen when mam is going to work and my mam fretts and panics and that makes everything worse. They also go for her (scratch) more than me and dad.

So now when we get rid of the cats I will be alone in my house agian. I will go crazy and miss them sommet chronic as the house again desends into its old and forboding silence. Cats bring the house to life and without them the tention in the house is unbearable. I hopefully will only the there for another 5 months but that is too long to be one your own.

All hail the slow depression of Adam McConnell again from lack of company.

S for Shit

Well this should be on the R for Revolution but it is a film reveiw and does not fit with the criteria for that site.

Yesterday I managed to arrange a trip to the cinema. The film was V for Vendetta. Well lets just say I nearly got the shit kicked out of me. It was a bad film to say the least.

Natalie Portman as (the not Prostitute) Evey Hammond, she had the worst english accent ever. All she needed to say was "Cor blimey guv, Did you do tha'?" and the film would have been a comedy. Her acting was bad and she looked rough as and a bit strange in the pedo dress (when she sees the Bishop).
V was even worse. He never takes off the mask but thank fuck for that. I never knew you could act badly in a mask. They never show that he is faster in the comic or different from hormone testing at Larkhill. They also give him a weapon and a dry sence of wit not in the comic. He is not the same character as he is in the book and his veiw of vengance in the film is one of uncaring and neccisary. They have changed him too much to be recognisable from the comic book crazy terrorist wuth a dark edge.
The main bitch though is gonna be about the plot. Nothing like the comic. No mention of the facist govenment in full, instead a viral outbreak created to control the masses. Nothing to do with the plot of the original. I am disgusted with it soooooo much I cannot put it down in words. Even the murders were different. He blows up Big Ben at the beggining of the comic if I remeber rightly and Downing Street with his train. Not in this film its Big Ben as a Finaly. Ow and what a finally. Loads of poeple dressed in V masks protesting against the government. No one other than Evey gets a mask in the comic and she then becomes V not in this one she becomes a nobody with the cop by her side. The film has none of the dark grittyness of the comic and suffers because of the sensors fingers probing at the material contianed in it.

All in all a toned down film with no merits for acting or plot. A desicration to Alan Moore and if I was in his place I would take my name off the film credits too. A shite movie for comic readers and also for people who want to see a good yarn.

As you can tell I am seriously pissed off at the crapness of the film and it had soo much promise. If I ever find a Wachowski brother I will murder him in cold blood while wearing a V mask so he knows that he has done bad.

Going to shit

This morning everthing went to shit. When I mean went to Shit I mean it in a way that makes you pissed off at people for the rest of the day.
I set my alarm for 8:15 so I could get to work on time. Woken up before then due to my parents stomping around. Woke up at 8:15 when my alram went off just to hear my mam go to the loo. So click snoze for 8 mins and slowly drift back off. Trying to stay awake for when my mam comes out of the batroom. Fall asleep.
Wake up to alarm again this time its my dad going for a shit hit snooze.
Wake up again Mam goes in closely followed by my dad straight after her. Now its 8:45 have to be at work for 9:30.
Wait for dad to finnish on the loo at 8:53. Go in the shower for 10 mins (dont have long so being mindfull of the time). In the middle of brushing my teeth when I hear "Can I use the loo". I snap I have been in the shower for 10 mins and have been getting dry and brushing my teeth 4 mins. This is my mams 3rd trip to the loo alone since she got up at 7:45 (heard her flush the loo). As you can now tell its 9.10 ish. I still need to get dry so I relent spit out my mouth in the sink wipe my face and take a towel into my bedroom. Mam goes on the loo (10 mins).
As I am getting dry Biscuit (One of Donna's cats) apears from behind the curtain.
I have my wardrobe open at this point so he make a b-line stright for it. On the way I pick him up (all the shirts are clean and void of cat hairs). Now this being the agressive of the two cats goes right for my eyes luck me I mangaed to close them (not waring my glasses) he gashes open my nose screams and jumps away to quick as I drop him. The gash is about 4 mm but enough to bleed perfusly. Now I wear glasses and the little bastard manages to get me where the bridge rests. So now its 9:15.
My parents are downstaris mam fretting and dad getting ready to drop mam of at the Nufield and go to college. They heard the cats into the kitchen and lock up. At this point I am getting dry and drying my hair and getting changed.
My parents shout up they have locked the cats in the kitchen and are going. Shout down ok at this point. 9:20 need to be at work in 10 mins. Tummy rumbles a loud and disturbing chant of pain.
Go down to see if theres anything possible to eat qickly. Only thing is a sandwich. Ok so I get the bread out and start to look for a knife to spread on the sandwich filler (egg and bacon). No fucking clean knives. They are all dirty not a single one in the draw and low and behold the dishwasher has not been put on overnight. 9:25 anger levels at maximum. Cannot have a sandwich and cats constantly trying to escape the kitchen (no sensors for the alarm and they have food and litter tray there). Leave the kitchen in search of cash, my wallet has a mighty £1.50 in it. Need a drink think on so I go upstairs (all locked up but my bag for work in in the hallway) to find the change draw with about £4 in. As I get to the draw my phone goes off (hitman theme so an unkown number). Its the woman from work asking that did I know that the group was in this morning. Meaning "where the fuck are you?" (9.26) So I throw away the money knowing I dont have time to go and get some scran and start to close up again. I leave the house and head to work (2min walk). As I get to work expecting someone to be there no one. I open up and make sure everything is OK. Go back to door to see the bloke there with his bike waiting to come in. 9:36

All this for £5 an hour is it worth the hastle sometimes.
I should be doing coursework but I am too pissed to do it and my and=ger levels are maximum.
This has been one of those days where you think why did I bother?

Top Ten CARs

I did the list of the top ten women in my life and then realised what a mistake it was putting on the olsen twins. I know realise they are not that good looking. This means a change to the list to now have the very sexy and never needing a bag. Eva Longoria
This is a picture of her in all her niceness. You would and you cannot say you wouldnt(unless your a girl and then if you still do think that, email me lol).

And another one to add is the amazing Jennifer Morrison. She is the doctor under House. A great show and if you have not seen it then check this out.

This means the list has now changed to
1. Kelly Brook
2. Fern Cotton
3. Eva Longoria
4. Kate Beckinsdale
5. Jennifer Morrison
6. Millia Jovovich
7. Evangaline Lilly
8. Avril Lavigne
9. Kristin Kreuk
10. Liv Tyler
I know some fairly drastic changes but hey I can swap and change. Liv Tyler is way better than Kate Blancette. Im sorry but younger and better looking but still with the intense blue eyes.

Anyway back to the car thingy. I am trying to compile a list of cars that I would buy given all the money in the world and goven a choice of only having 10 cars (thats right only 10 cars). They can be any type or make or age but at the moment. I have a few favs.
The Ariel, The Koeningseigg CCR, Jaguar XK and the new Farrari. And not forgetting the Mercadese Kompressor. The winner at the moment though is the Jaguar.

So compile a list and post. All you lasses do it to. I know you want ot help me with this one. It is not dirty or filthy unless you mention Carbon Fiber (*Jism*) or the new Alpha Romeo (*goes Blind*)

Happy Posting

Summer

Ow nose it is summer.
Tonight is the first time in ages I have regretted wanting to work. At the moment Terry is off on holliday (first time in three years) and I am at work on a night for the next 2 weeks everyday. I will get paid quite a lot (about £300) but just for tonight I wished I was free to go out and have a go again on my skateboard. It would be the first time since I broke my ribs and craked a joint. They are healed now and I dont regrett doing it.

I have an aim for this summer. Get good at everything I am not at the moment. I want to be a better skater, healthier man and better bloke. I am already a great bloke so that wont be to hard. At the moment my body mass index is about 27.8 and it should be about 20 - 25. This means I am classed as too heavy. My aim is to be fitter but weight more because of muscle.
At the mo though I am bogged down with coursework it should all be done with by the easter hollidays. I will save up for those two weeks so i can have a whale of a time.

Update on kittens
The cats that we have got of Donna are settling nicely. They are letting us stroke them and seem a bit bolder. Biscuit is still constantly wanting to kill one of us (it will be me). The cardboard in front of the chimeny has stopped them going up it. Soon we will be getting double glazing so that should be a good laugh. Keeping two fast cats from escaping.
