I can't believe it's the first of september, where does the time go? My aches are all gone from the weekend, and my sunburn has gone too, along with the sun shine that we were having. I guess this is probably the end of summer, and as usual we didn't get a lot of it.
Soon it'll be winter again and we'll all be whinging about how cold it is, rather than how hot it is. We'll be scraping our windscreens in the morning and having to do the whole christmas thing again. I don't really know where i'll be come xmas, i should have sold my apartment and moved somewhere. At least if all goes well i'll be able to afford xmas presents this year. This seems odd talking about xmas when it's only september, but i bet the shops will have the stuff out soon.

Weather is just crazy. Spent a lot of the weekend in the hot sunshine - beer, bbq, trying not to get burnt. Then last night it just cooked up a storm, i love a storm, what made it even better was that Jaws was on!
I had a drive in my uncles new car yesterday. It's a nearly new Peugeot 307cc 180. It's comfortable, all leather, but it's quite heavy so it's not my kinda car. I'd never driven a convertable, we drove a couple of miles and put the roof down, got on the motorway and put it back up - man, that was windy.
I'm pretty sure i'm starting to get RSI in my left wrist. I'll wait for the jokes.

Why they have to put the late Hollyoaks on so late i can't understand, all they do is through in a few swear words and shots of the girls in their underwear - i'm not complaining, by the way. But couldn't it just be on at 9? Ah well, i'm sure a bit of missed sleep every night this week won't kill me.
Although, last night i had this dream where i got set up for something i didn't do. I'm not one to believe in much meaning in dreams but i guess if you're interested you can look that up for me. From what i remember, there was some sort of robbery and the guys that did it somehow managed to make me look like a getaway driver - but i had an aliby, only it meant saying i was with someone that i shouldn't of been... yeah, that was interesting, huh?

So this week another 3 people i know have created blogs. Pretty soon no one will have to talk to anyone else ever again, we can just read all the billions of blogs out there and know everything about everyone!!! Well, that is if we actually all write exactly what we're thinking. I, for one, hold back a lot of things writing on here, knowing a little about who reads it. Not just to protect myself but to protect others too.
I don't think you could get to know someone by reading their blog anyway. I mean, everything i write on here could be complete lies, could just be an image that i would like to portray to my readers. I feel that I'm always honest on here though and really should spend more time on my posts. Trouble is, i'll think of something that i want to post, but by the time i get to a computer it's gone.
A part of me looks forward to reading all of what i've written when i'm older, the good and the bad. That's just one reason i do this, but it does make me wonder why other people do the same. Who are they trying to reach out to, or is it just a way of venting out what we can't say anywhere else.

Monday again! I've got tons to do this week, things to sort out, people to call. I've written everything down that i need to do so that i can mark them all off as i do them.
Weekend was good. I got woken up by Jennifer Saturday morning, she needed help finding a car 'cause her courtesy car had to go back saturday morning. We did about 100 miles looking around garages but the best we found was a 106 which was 2 miles down the road from Jenns house. Then we went back to hers and flicked through the Exchange and Mart, but still nothing. We took her dog, Chloe, for a walk around the fields - i hadn't worn wellington boots for a long time!
And yesterday I was well lazy.
Wednesday 14th September 2005
It's been a while since we've had a getting to work story! I just got in to work, only just over an hour late, but i left work over 2 and a half hours ago... First, i needed petrol, and what with the apparant fuel protests starting today i knew it was gonna be a little busy - so i left a bit earlier. Over 20 minutes waiting in a queue for that and on my way. Then i get to be behind a bunch of rubber neckers looking at a car that's flipped on the otherside of the a41. I get to my turn off and have to queue again for a couple of miles to get off.
I got to my dads eventually and we head off again, already late of course. Get on the M10, and bam! another traffic jam. Eventually, here i am. Once i move this hopefully won't happen that often, i shouldn't have far to go!
Now, work.
Thursday 15th September 2005
I don't feel so good today. Was getting a headache earlier and now i'm just feeling like crap, I haven't had a migraine for a long time and this feels like one. I've downed 2 solphadine so hopefully that'll help. I think my monitor at work isn't helping. About 2 inches down each side is all blurry and it's starting to hurt my eyes - that'll teach them for buying cheap big monitors.
Friday already tomorrow, i can't believe i haven't done all the things i wanted to do this week, just been so busy and so tired when i get home. I'm going to have to sort things out tomorrow.
Monday 19th September 2005
I am friggin' knackered this morning, i just can't wake up. I think if i closed my eyes right now for more then 5 seconds they wouldn't open again. Had a busy weekend, worked saturday morning and Barry arrived in the afternoon.
We went out for a few drinks up town, Dave joined us a few too. It's starting to feel like winter too, walking home it was damn cold. Then yesterday we did the family rounds and dinner at Dads.
I don't really know why i'm so tired, i guess i did get up quite early yesterday after a late night. Then went to sleep after Bedazzled last night - but wasn't really that late. I could so just fall asleep right now.
Wednesday 21st September 2005
So far this week's been quite different. Odd having someone around the house all the time. I'm just about starting to wake up now, yes, still from monday. I think I'd probably caught something, a few of the people here have been feeling the same way. Either that or they've poisoned us with the air-con or something.
I spoke to the estate agents the other day, i'd gotten annoyed that they hadn't contacted me for weeks. They said that interest is picking up a lot now and that they sold a few places over the weekend - so fingers crossed that my place gets some viewings soon!
Looks like the fish and chip shop across the road from me is under new management. We went in there the other night and it's been slightly redecorated and all new people. They do need some practice at cooking chips though, perhaps leave them cooking for a bit longer.
I could still do with some sleep.
Thursday 22nd September 2005
I almost didn't get up this morning, not just because i was extra tired or anything but because my phone alarm snooze messed up. Looks like i hit snooze plus another button that brought up a menu. Luckily i woke up 20 minutes late and looked at my phone, it was just sat there saying that the alarm was going off, but no noise... awesome.
It's the first day of autumn and I'm almost certainly coming down with a cold or something, the tiredness and all stuffed up. Today even looks like autumn this morning, thick fog, although when it clears it'll probably be quite a nice day i think.
I'm hungry
Friday 23rd September 2005
I was supposed to be getting my hair cut last night but me and Barry went to Dads for dinner. So, wednesday i popped in to the hairdressers to move my appointment. The newish, extremely hot girl is at the desk. I pick my jaw up off the ground and say that i won't be able to make it the next night - for the hair appointment... The only appointment they have for a week is on saturday, at 8.45. Somehow she manages to talk me in to it, so i told her that if i'm not up she needs to ring my bell - and she said that's cool. Awesome. Bell ringing is booked in for 8.45 tomorrow morning then.
Only a few more hours till the weekend!
Monday 26th September 2005
Barry went back up home over the weekend, and i spent far too much time sat at my computer. I just fancied a quiet day yesterday doing nothing, so that's what i did!
Just spoke to a mate who's in Sydney right now on IM, he's about to go on a booze cruise around the harbour and i'm not at all jealous. I'd like to visit there one day, along with a lot of other places. He's going across to New Zealand too, i wouldn't be looking forward to the flights, but i'm sure it'd all be worth it.
Today we followed a car with probably the most amazing bumper sticker ever, it was deep, thoughtful, insightful and connects on so many different levels. It said "Don't be a dick". True that.
Wednesday 28th September 2005
There's nothing like sitting through traffic on the M25 with the sun burning in your face after only getting 5 hours sleep to start a day off. I'm tired, again, but just proper sleep deprevation tired today - which i can handle.
Went to a pub quiz last night, hadn't done one for a while. Just the 4 of us, but we won by 3 points. Shame no one knew the radius of the moon, we woulda been a few hundred quid richer... I had a brilliant night, really needed it too. Walked in to Chicago's - yeah, i know - and i thought i'd walked in to butlins. They were doing some sort of xfactor rip off and were in the semi-finals, and to be honest, they were not so good.
