you might get no cards, you might get eight...

How's year 13...?

It is very much the same as last year, except I have found myself with ALOT of free time on my hand, which I guess would be good, if I felt as motivated to do my English and history work as I am with my theology in my free time, but I'm not. I've also become very bored, and found myself looking back to what I did last year when I had free periods: turns out that I spent the whole time smoking, and now I can't/don't want that small pleasure. I've resorted to Uno. (I being the remaining "JT" crew at BC - plus a few others.)

It's safe to say that since I last blogged, the think I have most excelled in within the walls of Blue Coat is Uno. Weather it is Uno, Retro Uno, H2 Uno,
or Speed Uno (SpUno) I have become a uno fanatic. It's the worst. It has got to the point, where I found an online Uno application for facebook and have been playing online Uno.
In addition to this, there has been a rule enforced now that Uno is banned from being played by those who have not finished there personal statement. So... It looks like I wont be playing for a while.

In other news, Theology this year is looking awesome. We're spending the whole year on Johns Gospel and really looking into the "I am" statements and some of the discourses'. I'm really excited, we're also doing about authorship, which has set off many arguments and questions on the authenticity (that's the word I want to use, but might not be right and I ceebz googling) of the bible. It's extreme.

Outside of Edgerton Street, life is actually on an up for once... Maybe I haven't done my personal statement, haven't got a job, haven't cleaned Issac's tank for a while and haven't read any of my lit texts for this year but, I'm not particularity sad. I think I'm finding (slowly though it may be) a part of myself that can be comfortable with my family, and also with God, and with God in relation to my friends... I'm still considerably bored when I'm home, and much to my disappointment recently found out I've nearly completed my Gilmore Girls 6 series run through (which took up at least a hour of my day and consists of 145 episodes) but I'm not as sad as I have been, and was on my last post when I was dreading the year ahead.

Nothing really much has gone on this week... but Friday saw Amy Hughes' 18th Birthday party in Grains Bar, sadly, Amy found herself in the awful position of having tonsillitis and so though her antibiotics allowed her to drink (Dr Philip Trewinnard approved himself) she wasn't at her best.
However that did not hopefully stop her from having a mint time, and also defiantly didn't stop us from having a good time. It was a great evening, even if some nutter did take a tactical chunder all over my toilet after getting a bit to lashed; it was cleaned by the nutter however in a very sober manner.

Early Saturday morning a loud sneezing fit from dearest street pastor Ange (Mumma Trew) awoke a hungover Me, Katie Atkin and Amber "Bambi" Nikolich. I cant remember how long we were sat before one of us stood up to fetch the yogurt but it seemed like a life time, after we'd sat moaning when the electricity cut out on us for a hour and we had to actually make conversation with each other in such our disgusting states... The conversation of topic; which had obviously come out of the fact we had no electricity, was what would we do if we were the only 3 living beings left on earth. We soon realised how we couldn't ever possibly live without the Internet, - not only because of the lack of twitter for my sake, but actually, amber couldn't catch her usual 5 buses a day, and the meat would soon rot because the freezers at tesco would be dead, and as Katie pointed out, there would be no chance of us getting to the polar ice caps as amber suggested. It was a long start to the day, and even though physically, I hated life, it was actually rather good.

I then said goodbye to my best friend of 5 years Liz as she today ventured of to uni to study dietetics at Nottingham... It was sad, and I found myself in a rather awkward position with her grandfather who seems to keep cats in cages and take them with him wherever he goes... fascinating, peculiarly, weird, freakish sort of man... but lovely all the same.

Sunday, after camping out at the Piekos' household for a night of Romdroms (laura's suggested name for romantic dramas) saw a day of Church, McDonalds, She's the Man (a hilarious take on Shakespeare's 12th Knight), Reach and leafleting... All of which pretty much speak for themselves other than the leafleting, which was for Christ Church Manchester's student outreach meetings where we were out giving people, students, freshers of Manchester Uni and Manchester Met the following..

So. That has been my week... I'm sure there's more, which is more interesting but I always forget by the time I get to sit down on a computer. If at any point I remember... I'll get on it like a hot rash.


God bless, L x
