Haven't dropped anything yet!
Been working loooooong hours, fairly sleepy. But enjoying the cash.
Still no interwebz :(
Breaking Dawn is out today! Havent got it yet, think Im going to this thing at Rachie's work tonight and getting it there. Must try and resist til then.
On a birthday present buying spree. Its my Kerry's on the 6th and the Boy's on the 15th. Not sure what im getting either of them.
Tom Waits concert was absolutely amazing! He's a crazy man. Be nice or he'll blind you with his sparkly hat!
Saw Dark Knight also. Maybe because Im not a massive Batman fan I didn't think it was oh em gee ttly AMAZING!!11!one!!1one!eleven. I felt it was slightly disjointed and there was just too much stuff going on. Also it could have been the most awesome film ever and I still would have laughed my way through it purely because of Batman's voice! Seriously, what was up with that? It was slightly silly in Batman Begins but not overly so. Im sure the voice effects people were just taking the piss.
Best thing in the film was definately Heath Ledger's performance. And Im not just saying that cause he's all dead and stuff. It was actually amazing. He managed to make it really quite menacing and was I the only one who noticed a hint of a Jack Nicholson accent in there? A tribute to the other Joker perhaps? I also really liked his last scene when he's hanging from the building. It was very disorientating and the speech was great. Anyway, it is a shame he popped his clogs cause I think he would've gone on to take other slightly odd roles and made them awesome. I think he was doing the Johnny Depp thing you know? Getting away from just being a pretty face in romantic teen comedies and actually taking on parts that others might not. Like Depp did when he took on Edward Scissorhands etc etc.
Will start taking pictures and stuff again soon.
Farewell

My head. Oh god. My head.
Went over to Ritsa's flat last night for a few drinks and then we went to a bar what was a boat! It was fun.
I don't know what it is about that girl but she always manages to get me so completely and utterly off my face. I really dont understand it. When we hang out I drink either the same amount or less than I do when Im out with other people yet I end up completely sozzled with an awful hangover and no memory of what we did.
Im starting to think it;s just a talent she has. She could make millions.
Nah, as far as I remember we had a pretty good night. She was in the mood to play barbies so I let her loose on my outfit, hair and make-up. I ended up with more make-up on my face than I've ever had before and very short shorts. Thank god I was drunk or I wouldnt've have even considered leaving the flat. That and if I let her do all that she was letting me wear her pretty Irregular Choice shoes :) I may not be a proper girl but I still love shoes!
Urgh, I think i'll be staying away from the alcohol for a while.
Im off to watch Lord of the Rings now. Im trying to convince the boys that they want to watch all 3 extended editions in a row. I think it can be done!

[16 Jul 2008|12:54am] |

So me and my friend Megan went on one of our H&M Adventures the other day. These usually just consist of me and Megan wandering about acting like planks. There's not a whole lot to do in Arbroath....
Meet me and Megan

Didn't really do much today. Im back in Arbroathia and I mostly sit about feeling guilty that Im not working. But there is NO WORK TO BE HAD!!!
Hmmm, im really starting to get fairly stressed out about how many things I need to pay for and how little work I had/am likely to have. Thinking of heading back to Edinburgh earlier than planned and just trying to get as much work from Ultimate as well as looking for other jobs. Grr argh.
Soooo today I caught up with Leonna. I think I've managed to cross off everyone from my People I Want To See List. Go me!
We went for a walk to the Vicky which was fine and dandy. We played on the swings until some little kids came over and we felt like we should let them have a turn. We're so selfless. Then we went to the shops and bought 5p ice poles cause we're retro like that.
I want my camera back. Silly Helen
Off to Galashiels tomorrow for Helen's graduation on Friday. I bet its gonna be really boring! :P
Should probably sleep now. Farewell!

So I've left Riego Street, it was fairly sad. Me and Sarah and Matt Lee have moved into our friend Jen's flat which is just round the corner. It's way nicer than student flats, I don't want to leave but we only have it til the 2nd July. Then Im either going back to Arbroath or invading Rory's flat. It kinda depends on whether I can get a job here or not and also on how Dad's feeling. He had his operation and it all went fine, its just normal recovering now. I saw him yesterday and he seemed fine, just a little bit weak and tired.
Speaking of yesterday it was really fun. Me and Susan went down to Galashiels for Helen's degree show. It was really cool to see the things she'd made and put so much effort into on display. Her's was definately the best display there. And Im not biased at all :P And she got her degree! A 2.1 which is way good. She's a clever one. I don't think she knows exactly what she's going to go on to do now but I bet she'll be fine.
Other than that I haven't been up to much at all. Was hoping I'd be working a lot more than I have been but there's just not enough hours. Soooo looking for some more temp work but if I dont find any then it'll be back to Arbroath and probably a beautiful orange polo shirt in Jumping Joeys. Joyous.
The PsychoExSituation is not exactly over but its just a vague irritation now. That is another reason I don't really want to go back to Arbroath, I don't want to be worried that Im going to bump into him every time I turn a corner or go into town. It could just be depressing for all concerned.
Boy still makes me smile, way more than PsychoEx did

HA!
Now he's got the message. And maybe it was a harsh way of giving it to him but at least he'll leave me alone now.
He's probably still sitting there on his own like a big mopey emo dipshit.
I actually don't give a monkies..how awesome is that? :)
Im sure about stuff now. Its a good feeling

Had my first exam yesterday. I revised for crazy ages on Sunday for it so I felt pretty prepared. I think it went ok. The third question I just sort of rambled but I think I picked up a few marks.
Tomorrow I have my second (and last) exam so I really should be revising. Buuuuuuut Im not :) Ah well, I'll bluff my way through it.
I can't believe my first year at uni is pretty much over. It really doesn't feel like Ive been here for 8 months. Does this mean that after the summer I actually have to work? naaaah, second year is still for messing around. And I really need to mess around after summer because I have been a RUBBISH student this year. Its actually been shocking. But now I have a job and I have pennies so I can afford to get drunk lots and lots and lots. Cause that's the sensible thing to do kids ;)
In other news my Dad got us tickets to go see Tom Waits in July. Im so excited! it's only 12 days after we see Leonard Cohen so Julys gonna be a fun month! We're not sure where the seats are but its in the Playhouse so it's not a huge venue which is grooooovy.
Dad finally heard from the hospital. Operation Day is June 2nd. I won't be able to go up to the hospital with him but he'll be in for 6-8 days after so hopefully someone will take me up. It sucks that its all the way up in Aberdeen, it would've been waaaay simpler if he'd had to come to Edinburghland.
Anyways, I better go off and do some more revision now. Bleurgh :)

| Birthdayness |
[22 Apr 2008|01:44am] |
Today was Papa Spacemonkey's birthday. (yes 21 again). Started with us both getting up stupidly early and going to the doctor's. He went to get a sick note and I got some drugs to get rid of this crazily persistent cold I've had for the last 5 weeks. Then I bought him breakfast cause Im a nice daughter like that.
At home Joan and the baby arrived. And then more children and various siblings. It was quite a busyful day. I think thats the only reason Dad had so many kids, just so he could get loads of presents on his birthday.
Dad got a nice surprise in the evening when Helen arrived cause she'd told him she wouldn't make it home for his birthday. It was fun keeping it secret all day cause I knew he'd be chuffed to see her. She also brought a rather oddly shaped cake for him ;)
Then we played Balderdash. As you do. And I learned a new word which Im going to try and use as often as possible. Ever heard of a 'whisterpoop'? Appaarantly its 'swift smack to the side of the head'. So if you meet me in the next few days I may be forced to give you a whisterpoop. Just for the banter really.
( This way for pictures )

| I Can has Flat? |
[20 Apr 2008|02:06am] |
Yes I can has flat!
Me and Mr Muir and Liamy Liam and Lovely Lauren and Miss Rosie have a new home. We just need to make a lease signing appointment and its ours :)
Its a nice flat. Not majorly huge but big enough. I like my room. Liamy Liam pretty much just has a cupboard with a bed in it but he doesn't mind. The living room is really big and bright, I can see us hanging out there a lot. And I timed it the other day, its only 8 minutes away from uni. Which is good cause we're lazy buggers.
I think I shall miss Reigo cause there's a fun atmosphere seeing as its all students but it will be nice to live somewhere else.
In other news I've been working lots lately. Its nice getting a paycheck every week again. I forgot how much I liked earning my own money. It makes me feel like im actually doing something, rather than just living off my loan and bursary. And everyone I work with is fun. And I get to wear a bow tie. Doesn't get much better does it?!
I decided today that I really dislike rude people. I accidentally hit a man with my suitcase today when I was trying to get out of the way as he was walking down the bus. And I said 'sorry sir' and he just ignored me and shoved past me like I'd done it on purpose. And it wasn't like he was in a big hurry, the bus wasn't even at the stop yet. People like that are mean. On the plus side when I got to Arbroath I got on the bus for free cause my friend was the conductor AND I only missed 5 minutes of Dr Who. Got my priorities right there ;)
Mmmmmm, rock.

Im at home again :) Its mucho goods. I should probably be doing some work but I never seem to be able to concentrate on uni stuff when Im here. So I'll worry about it next week instead :) I say worry...I actually mean 'give a passing thought to'.
Ive had a nice few days at home. Sunday was the best cause we went for our Easter picnic. I love having such a big family cause it meant we could have a decent game of rounders and football. We also had egg and spoon races and 3-legged races. It was all very silly :)
Went for a drive with Killoh yesterday which was lovely cause I haven't seen him for aaaaaaaaaaaaages. He took me to Lunan Bay and it snowed. It was way pretty. Kinda tiring though cause we climbed up this massive sand dune and I kept slipping. Got some pretty pictures though. Killoh's fun, he reminds me of when James was here.
Today I hung out with Lorna which was fun, she talked about her new boy...a lot! It was ok though, I kinda just nodded along. Its nice she's all happyful.
We went for a walk through town and ended up meeting my Kerry which was way good cause I was going to try and see her today anyways. So I followed her home in a non-stalker way and chatted with her mum. And then Mike came round and I haven't seen him for months and months! He has long hair now....its weird but kinda suits him.
One think I dont like about coming home is the that fact that not all my friends here really speak to each other anymore. I miss everyone hanging around in a big group and going out dancing together. Its a big effort to get more than 3 of them together which kinda sucks. But I guess its silly to expect everything to be exactly the same when I come back, it'd just be nice if it was.
Ive been in a weird mood the last few days. I might have done something silly. Its ok though, nothing major.
Its funny, I love Edinburgh and all the people I have there. But when Im home I find it really hard to leave. Which is very strange considering I've been desperate to leave for the last couple of years. Hmm
Im off to the pub tonight :) banter shall be had woopwoop

| Entry what isnt Movie Review |
[15 Feb 2008|09:45pm] |
|
Heather is pretty happy at the moment.
Dont worry Im not going to do the whole entry in the third person cause thats just weird. But stuff and junk is going well at this point in time and I am glad of that cause its rare that so many things go well at the same time.
Back at uni and this semester I actually have interesting modules so Im really enjoying it. Reassurred that I made the right choice in course.
Have decided to be organised this semester and so far its going well
Flatland is still all good. Everyone is pretty much getting on with each other and banter is being had.
Creme Eggs and butterflies make me smile like this ----> :)
Mmmm tea
Possibility of job, woopwoop!
Ok so there is a bit of rubbishness but im dealing with it cause Im refusing to let things worry me. No thinking the worst and letting things get me down.
The money situation for example. its pretty dire but if Im careful and patient I'll manage. There are people worse off than me who've managed. And its teaching me a good lesson about looking after money which I think I needed to learn!
The worst thing at the moment would be Papa Spacemonkey. Because im away for a while and then coming back its easier to see when he looks more ill than before.....if that made sense. Hes not looking too great and im a bit worried about him. Not just his heart but his mind as well. I think hes very bored and starting to feel a bit useless. And im worried about him cash wise too. Hes talking about cashing in his insurance policy so he can afford his medication. Which he should not have to do. He's got four kids who should be able to look after him. Unfortunately we are all either poor students, divorcees with kids or planning a wedding with a new baby. Not in the best shape to help out in the finance department. We should be there for him though, he's helped us out so many times that its not fair when we cant help him out too.
Ok so maybe not everything is going right. But its definitely more things that usual and that makes me happy. So nyah :P

[15 Feb 2008|09:43pm] |
I do so love pretending Im a film critic :)
Ok everyone put aside the 'I love Johnny Depp so anything he's in has to be wonderful' opinion. And also your 'Tim Burton is a genius and can do no wrong' mindset. They're just going to blind you to the fact that this film isn't actually all that amazing and could have been so so much better.
I think my main problem with it is that I was so looking foward to it that I was bound to be disappointed. I just found the story too.....simple. I found it very easy to predict what was going to happen and I kept waiting for the plot twists or the suspense but it never came. It just seemed to be a bit...flat. Most of the characeters were a but undeveloped as well like the daughter and her fancy man.
I did like the singing although in my opinion there was a but too much of it and it was occasionally hard to understand the words which took away from it. And some of the girls sang very high pitched which irritated me. Not that I could have done any better though so I can't really judge.
But ok, lets put our 'We love Johnny Depp' hats back on. He's excellent as usual. Aside from looking great he is genuinely menacing with a great hint of insanity. His accent slips a bit during singing but we can forgive him that cause he's good at it. Probably the best thing in the film.
Nows time to get your 'We love Tim Burton' hats back out of the corner. You can tell its a Burton cause it looks dark, menacing and very stylish. As usual sets, lighting and shots are perfect. It would definitely be worse without Burton in charge.
And I do like gore. And blood. Especially when it spurts :) Thats always fun.
Although im not a Sacha Baron Cohen fan he did amuse me in this. As did the boy in the wig. But boys in wigs are pretty much always amusing.
Soooooo yeah. Definitely go and see it. Especially if you're a Depp or Burton fan. Don't expect it to be as good as previous collaborations but you dont want to miss out on a thoroughly decent film. I think its better if you go in with slightly lower expectations than I did though.
