What i’ve being up to =]

August 13, 2008 at 9:13 pm (Uncategorized)

The past two weeks of my summer holidays have being truly breathtaking you could say. I’ve recently got involved with my local radio station, which reaches a couple of hundred people in the surrounding area and worldwide through the web. I’ve being trained in using all the equipment and have my own mid-morning shows 10am – 1pm weekdays and a Thursday night 9-10pm. However nerve raking doing the shows are, I’m really enjoying it… I’ve had lots of positive remarks on my voice and presenting skills and overall it’ll look great on my CV!
Also while working with the station I’ve being taught the basics to advertising, which … I admit was quite dull, but again.. Another thing I can put on my CV and knowledge I could possibly use in the future!

So yeah, that’s the first thing that I’ve being doing. The second thing was travelling to great Yarmouth to go stay with Ben. Lots of people think there is “something” going on between me and him. I’ll put it straight right now, we’re just friends… in-fact I consider him to be one of my best friends.
As you all know I’ve being having a lot of problems recently, ie/ my dad etc.. by going to Bens house and spending a whole 5 days with him… I’d like to say he’s helped me through a majority of the difficulties I was going through. So yayy to him! (<3 ya Ben)
Well anyhoo, what did we both get up to I hear you ask!
(I will actually be making a vlog on my youtube VERY soon about this… but I guess on here I can be a bit more personal as I know there are less people reading my blog than watching my vlogs)
So basically on the Monday my mother drove me into peterbouragh (I don’t actually know how to spell it =/) We went straight to the bus station, which was pretty run down and I thought some chavs on their bikes were going to stab me! 0_0 but apart from that the area seemed …. Alright. But yeah, I got on the bus and the journey took me 3 hours to get to Great Yarmouth costing only £6, “BARGIN!” ahaha. The journey was really nice, I took some pictures of the country side, because im obviously cool like that and I listened a lot to my music. Which mainly consisted of sara bariellus. Ahaha. Love that girl!
Anyhoo, here are some of those pictures!

Upon first arriving in Great Yarmouth I was very nervous, it has being a long long time since id visited anybody and stayed at their house for more than one night let alone 4 nights! Eeek! The bus stopped outside some scaffolding and roadworks. So that wasn’t a very good first impression of GY to be honest, and my mum had told me the area was a bit of a dump … from past experience when she went their about 18 years ago. Sooo I got off the coach and walked over to Ben who was stood on the other side of the street, that was so awkward… like, an awkward silence… but not, and instead more of an awkward walk. But yeah, we caught a service bus back to his house and he pointed out the “sites” to me… hehe, in other words, “heres our power plant… houses… houses”

Hehe. So I met his sister, she was outside on a bike and she seemed really sweet. Bens so lucky to have a wee sis’ I’d love to have one! (Trade Ben?)
Met his mum, who again was lovely! Then we went up to bens room in which we locked the door and had mad sex for hours! …. That’s obviously a JOKE. So don’t go messaging me on msn asking if me and Ben got THAT close, because we didn’t. But yeah, Bens room is actually HUGE to what I thought it was going to be! And on my bed Beth (bens little sister) had made me a card saying she hoped I had a great time staying with them (I can tell you now, I REALLY did!)
That evening we just spent hours and hours talking. I can’t quite remember what it was we spoke about, but I know I discovered a whole new person in Ben. His less funny side and more sensitive side, was nice =] We also went live on blogTV that night, but hardly anybody joined the live… apart from the legend that is Mr Barry Aldridge!

So the next day, which would be Tuesday for those who don’t know their days of the week XD, we basically did…..nothing. absolutely sod all. Ahaha, we woke up about 2 in the afternoon, because we’re both lazy and the weather was bad so we stayed in his room having mad sex for hours! ….. again JOKE ¬_¬ We watched youtube clips, and talked. Ohhhh and also Beth came in and we played a high school musical card game for ages, I lost… ben was better at this game than I was, I questioned him a lot on the matter =/ … and yeah, that was about it! Ahaha, we’re that cool. Ben looked sexy that day.

hehehehe

Wednesday; me, Ben, Beth and Bens mother and farther all headed into Great Yarmouth where we went for some lunch. Was a sweet wee’ place we went called, “The continental” if you ever go, have some of their chilli, it was tastehhhh! After that we broke up from the family and Ben set about proving Great Yarmouth is really a nice place, and he succeeded. There are lots of nice shops and things to do, the atmosphere seemed really nice…. Fair enough it was mostly people on their summer holidays, but it was still quite nice! He walked me along the seafront and I went on my first ever pier… well that was different I can give you that! If I was a kid I would of being in heaven, what with all the kid stuff Great Yarmouth has to offer *makes not to self… when I have children take them to great Yarmouth* He then walked me over to.. pleasure beach (I think that’s what it was called) where we sat and watched the log flumes. Now, im aware this sounds pretty lame but let me explain! Theres this one point where there is this sign saying, “Splash Zone!” where kids were standing trying to get soaked by the flumes coming down… but it was even more amusing when random families walked past and didn’t notice the sign, just to end up getting soaked… the look of utter shock on their face was orgasmic.
So yeah, that’s about all we did in great Yarmouth. We walked back to the bus stop where we bumped into Beth and his mum. Beth brought me a high school musical phone holder thing! Which I still use a week later ^_^ hehe.
When we got back to Bens house, we then watched youtube clips of Peter Kay, (in the middle of typing this sentence I got a text from Ben asking me to ring him… so I did. He’s at some fireworks night… which im about to explain cuz I did it with him last week…. That sounded kinda wrong for those who have a dirty mind, and didn’t intend to sound like that…..MOVING ON) we watched lots of comedy clips then me and Ben got a lift into Great Yarmouth town once more from Donner, a work college of bens … who was quite frankly one of the most friendly and chattiest people you’ll ever meet. So yeah, that night was fireworks night in great Yarmouth. (Every Wednesday 10pm … if your near GY, go down to see this display, as it is a really decent firework show!!!) However I’m scared of fireworks… and as Ben was working on the barriers that night I was sat right at the front … when the fireworks went off… well, I was scared.
Thursday I went to Great Yarmouth Hippodrome circus. This was REALLY fun… like, really really really good! Ahaha. I use to work for a street performing brigade so some of the acts I was a bit… meh at, but others I was over all impressed, especially the water act at the end. Again, if your ever in great Yarmouth you MUST go see the circus. =] Thursday night we just chilled out which was nice J
Friday we woke up early as we was going to travel down to London. In the car Beth sat between me and Ben… it was quite amusing at times… such as when I wanted to speak to Ben but I didn’t want his family to hear, I texted him and Beth kept looking from Ben to me to ben to me etc… Really made me giggle XD
It was sad saying goodbye to Bens family, as I feel I bonded very well with them all… such as his dad and I had a few things in common which we spoke about quite a bit. For example we both have a love for books and we both did/do drama… if you know what I mean. His mum made me feel very welcome all week in the household, asking if I wanted tea’s etc… and generally trying to keep me happy and Beth… well we just got on well. So yep, like I said it was quite sad saying goodbye to them.
So yeah.. after splitting up with them me and Ben headed to Hyde park.

Im not going to tell you anything about the Vlog in the park gathering we attended this day. Infact I’ll direct you to Benjys gathering video where I make various appearances and that basically explains Friday day time to you. =]

So Ben left early, once again.. I was really sad saying goodbye to him as I’d spent so much time with him and I was also sad he wasn’t coming back to have some fun at the hostel with us. But yeah… I said goodbye to Ben =[ =[ =[ We hung around a bit longer in Hyde park then walked about 20mins to our hostel… when I say we I mean; Me, Eddplant, BadM4ths, Calumrb22, Calums girlfriend, J0ames, Sophiebeard, Cashboxkeys and I think that was it. As soon as we got up to the hostel… I fell down the stairs and twisted my ankle. ¬_¬ (go on laugh! I know you wanna! …..wankers) but yeah, everybody went out to get pizza and I stayed in the hostel with ice on my foot.. sophie stayed with me though! Because she’s awesome like that… she started playing guitar and I rang Ben for about 40minutes, yep I missed him. Ahaha. When everybody got back we ate shite pizza then we made a song about … the hostel, I wont say much more about that as the video isn’t up yet and it is just… something you HAVE to see.
Didn’t do much more that night, tried going sleep… to which Ivens kept doing the NEW rick roll to us… which is basically the animal park theme tune.
Saturday me and Spencer (Bff!) split up with the rest of the group and headed to Victoria where we went to get tickets to see WICKED. We then travelled over to Leicester square and went in the trocardo to meet up with the hostellers for a few hours and saw the most AMAZING ride ever with loads of animals on it… again no more said on that matter as there will be a video some day showing the ride. Hehe.
After that me and spencer went to watch WICKED…. I would just like to say, that musical is absolutely breathtaking. I really, really enjoyed it and I’ve not being able to get the soundtrack out of my head since seeing it.
For those who don’t know,

“Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Their friendship struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, their reactions to the Wizard‘s corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba’s public fall from grace. The plot is set mostly before Dorothy‘s arrival from Kansas, and includes several references to well-known scenes and dialogue in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.”

(I love Wikipedia)

After this we got the tube to Edgeware where I met up with my motherrrrrr and we got a lift home =] I had a shower and went bed. Ahaha.
Spencer went home early on Saturday and I made my way home to go work.

SO YEAH… that’s basically it, if you’ve actually read ALL of the above thankyou so much and I love you for doing so. If you’ve skipped right to the bottom *gives you the evil eyes*
