Ramblings of a Disorientated Mind

The ramblings, and occasional sanities, of a 20-something geekess from the UK

Busy like a Bumble Bee

Friday morning I went to a modern apprenticeships thing at B&P collage. The woman was quite enthusiastic that I would get a place, and she said [off the record] that I was the most likely candidate out of all the people who attended that morning.

At 1730h I went to the Broadstone Complimentary Medicine Clinic to have an allergy test done. Its quite cool, and tests the body’s resistance against the electrical signal of different food stuffs. Not only does it test for what one is allergic to, it tells one what one is deficient in and tells one which bits of ones body are screwed. Also the guy is a nutritionist and can give one examples of what one should eat to restore the balance in the body.
For me, it turned out that I’m deficient in Amylase [meaning I can't digest carbohydrates properly, leading to it entering the blood stream and causing allergy-type reactions], vitamins B12 and C and Magnesium [Meaning I get a lot of acid reflux because there is nothing to keep the acid levels right]. I’m really highly allergic to saccharine and aspartame, highly allergic to egg white, white wheat flour, instant and espresso coffee, caffeine [and therefore black tea], cream, peanuts, white sugar, coco powder and a bunch of sulphite E numbers, I’m slightly allergic to lactose and shell fish/ molluscs.
My organ check basically said that my nose and sinuses are screwed, I’m liable to get itchy eyes, my bronchi and trachea are really screwed, the adrenal gland [which I think is the immune system] is pretty crap, the bacteria on the gut wall isn’t right [see the stuff about amylase] and I need to keep an eye on my thyroid gland. He then gave me a list of things I really should be eating, like stuff high in the things I’m deficient in, different types of tea I can try, things that should be okay to re-introduce like meat, fish and goats milk and things I need to not go over board on,like Brassica [cabbage, broccoli etc] stuff, as it can aggravate the thyroid.

The weekend was mostly spent at home with Andy doing things to my computer, and me doing stuff with digital music. I now have a different desktop environment called Xfce, my comp is now called ‘Paragorn’ instead of ‘Ella’, and I have several new login themes. Owen has put three new hard drives on the server and I spent a long time moving and sorting out music. ‘sall good really :)
On Saturday my cousin Paul came down for my Nan’s funeral.

Monday, was Nan’s funeral. I put my sudden outburst of sobbing during the eulogy down to the fact that before the funeral, I made welsh cakes. They are ‘a kind of sweet cake cooked on a griddle, [and] were originally served to hungry travellers when they arrived at an inn for the night while they waited for their supper to be cooked.’ [according to the British Embassy].

Today Paul, my parents and I went for a drive all out around the Purbecks to take some money to Nan’s care home and to show him stuff. Its was very odd, cuz I feel asleep on the way back, and then slept for about 2 hours once we got home.

In other news: Apparently Spacefem is away this week, so I’m still not able to log on *jumps up and down in flustration*, I’m going RPGing tonight [yay], and I think I’m in heat [as in like female cats] so seeing andy should be interesting tonight, and tomorrow, hopefully, I am going to see shrek 2 with kitty and ryan.

Yeah, so I’ve had lots going on, and hopefully I should get a work placement very soon, which means money!
Anyway, love ya world *blows kiss* ;)

The adventures of Dru and Kitty, pt 2

Given that sometime during the night Friday the 2nd became Saturday the 3rd, I will resume from when we left the Lemmy:

Saturday 3rd. We left the Lemmy at about 2am. I think. I realised my timekeeping had become a little hazy when I thought it was 2300h and someone told me it was really 0100h. Anyway. Trevor [Kitty's best guy mate] had found a really nice girl, and she invited us [read: dragged unprotesting] back to hers for Vodka. Things start to get a little hazy thereon in, but I remember drinking more, Kitty getting more hammered and us having a nice drunken little chat. I think it got to 0330h and now things get really hazy. All I recall is Trevor telling me he had called a taxi, kitty coming out of the loo looking as delicate as a very drunk person on the verge of heaving, and Trevor trying to give me money for the taxi home which I successfully declined. The ride home was not fun, and the taxi man didn’t looked pleased with us for some reason as he told me that Trevor had already given him £1.50, so I only had to pay £3.50. As soon as we were inside Kitty headed for the loo and spent at least half an hour throwing up etc before I got her upstairs and into bed, where she quite happily fell asleep in the bucket I gave her to throw up in. I’m not sure how long I watched her for [to make sure she was okay], but it was 0500h before I got to bed and then I woke up at 1100h.
The rest of the day is pretty hazy as I think I was either still drunk or very tired. Some time around midday Alex #1 turned up as he was staying the night. He’s very cool, and sounds like he would make the prefect b/f if he wasn’t taken [he can tailor, cook, garden et al]. I think I spent most of Saturday on the sofa watching Charmed, talking and flirting with Alex:

Me [after hearing all the amazing talents Alex has]: Wow you must be an angel
Alex: :)
Me: Can you Orb?
Alex: Why don’t you kiss me and find out?

At 2200h we started to watch Meet Joe Black, but Kitty left halfway through, and Alex went for a run, so I curled up on the sofa and promptly fell into this wyrd doze thing, were I would wake up at key moments and then fall back asleep. At around 0100 Alex woke me up and sent me up to bed, where I think i fell asleep in my clothes.

Sunday 4th Woke at 1000hish and wandered to Kitty’s room to ask how to operate the shower to find that sometime during the morning Alex #2 had arrived. After shower I watched Superman with Alex #1 until both Alex #1 and #2 left, with many hugs and Alex #1 gave me his MSN. I think we talked the rest of the day.

Monday 5th Kitty called up Brittania to have her car battery re-charged. We were quite surprised when a fit young man turned up instead of some grumpy old fart, but poor kitty was far to surprised to get his number. After he left we went for a drive here [along the black line]:

Which took about 1 1/2h, rather than the 15mins it was supposed to. It was fun though. I think the rest of the day was spent talking again.

Tuesday 6th It was a nice day! We spent most of the day gardening. Correction, I spent most of the day gardening and trying to cut her lawn with a strimmer and she spend most of the day wandering in and out of the kitchen cooking, and doing little bits of house work. When we were resting in the garden we saw some birds of prey, which was pretty cool. The afternoon we spent playing songs, talking and I did some more work on my story. Then in the evening we went ’round Paddy’s house, and I got slightly slaughtered on vodka and lemonade. Got back about 2300h then had a midnight snack of bacon and talked.

Wednesday 7th I cut the front hedge and provided much amusment. We did some errands that kitty had to do on campus, and I managed to get hit on the head by the car door. The evening was supposed to be spent with trevor and seeing shrek2, but some odd things happened. We did the trevor bit okay, but seeing shrek2 just didn’t happen, but the evening was fun anyway. Didn’t go to bed untill late again, but I was half asleep whilst kitty was talking.

Thursday 8th We talked and pissed around untill 1330h when we left to walk to the coach station. Coach arrived at 1410h, and some random guy sat next to me and we chatted most of the way home. Arrived in Poole about 1800h

I know it sounds like all we did was talk and mess about, but it was really good fun and I wish I could have been living with her and trevor and Andy all last year. I wuf Kitty :D

Holiday, best mate and getting drunk

Wow! I have had the best week evAr :D I love kitty :) Anyway, I bet you’re all dieing to know what I’ve been up too. Well, actually you probably couldn’t care less, but I’m gonna tell you anyway :P [NB, all times are in 24 hour clock. Just so you don't get confuzled ;) ]

Thurs 1st: Left Poole at 1100h, uneventful journey, arrived in Exeter at 1430h and was met by Kitty. We walked to her new digs. Oliver [aka Oli, one of her house-mates] was still there so we chatted to him for a while until he left in the late afternoon. Around 2000h we walked to a club called The Warehouse, but left soon after as I was tired, my legs were playing up and I really wasn’t enjoying myself. Walked home in the pouring rain. Drank Oxo and chatted until the wee small hours.

Fri 2nd: Talked most of the day, started to write a bit more of my current story and we went shopping for un-food for me. In the evening we walked to Exeter campus to a club called The Lemmy [I think]. It was nice in there, more pubby than clubby, which is what I like. I got Kitty and myself two free shots as soon as we arrived [somehow. Maybe it was the low top I was wearing, or maybe it was the see-thru top she was wearing...] So in total at the Lemmy I had two shots of blue Sourz, three Smirnoff Ices, a Weed Killer, a bag of hula-hoops and a bag of spicy McCoy’s. She had [I think] a Mudshake, 2 shots of blue Sourz, a Reef and 2 Weed Killers. Yeah. She was hammered and I was tired and pleasantly drunk. What I find the most amusing of that night was she [the singleton] didn’t get any attention whatsoever, but I [the very attached] had two guys come up to me, tell me I was fantastic and start talking at me. Yeah that was fun.

*Looks at the time* Humm, its 2256h now and I have a modern apprenticeship thingy at 0900h tomorrow, so I’ll finish off The Adventures of Dru and Kitty tommorow, where we see our intrepid heroines hungover, get lost on country backroads, and completly fail to see Shrek 2.

Love ya world, *blows kiss*
