Thorpe Park stuff

I finally like Merlin Entertainments. It's taken 3 yrs but finally i see that they r gd for the Thorpe Park. For those of u who don't know Merlin entertainments took over Tussauds in 2007. Tussauds owned Thorpe park, Alton Towers, Chessington, the London dungeons and of course Madame Tussauds. Most of u probably haven't noticed that Thorpe Park has changed since it was overtaken by Merlin but I have. They are v different to Tussauds. Firstly, they care much more about scenery. Thorpe was always going to have a new coaster in 2009 but under Tussauds it was going to be a flying coaster that went close to the water. A bit like Manta at Sea World just smaller (I loved this idea hence i was upset it never happened). When Merlin took over they decided to go for a cheaper coaster that would have tons of scenery and hence we got saw. But saw was surprisingly amazing. Also Saw alive i hear has a ton of scenery and so does thirteen at Alton Towers. Though it does seem that they are trying to make Britain into the scariest place in the world. We have Saw, Saw alive and 13 all designed to scare u. Secondly, their upkeep of the park seems to be better. they have done quite a few paint jobs over the winter periods. Thirdly (the bad part), their map are awful. I think I ranted to Alex once about how much I hated their maps. Most of the rides are in the wrong place. The layout of the rides and sometimes the colour is wrong. Logger's Leap is going in the complete wrong direction. It's disgraceful. However, I do like their 2010 map. The layout is still wrong but it's funny to look at. So now that they have fixed their maps, kind of, i now have nothing against Merlin. (u can view all of Thorpe Park's old maps here which dates all the way back to 1981)

Anyway, I've replied to my uni offers. Cardiff is my firm. Greenwich is insurance. Hadley a surprise.

This week has been quite a boring one though Thursday was Jared's birthday. For reasons i don't understand, me and Jared have become v gd friends recently. He enjoyed most of his day but I think by the end he was a bit depressed.

This weekend i will spend finishing off my physics coursework which is in for Tuesday. After that I'm done with all A2 coursework :).

That be it

Derren Brown is one scary guy

Hello

So Derren Brown was awesome. I'm not going to talk about it too much as i don't want to spoil it for u lot. This is because, although he is no longer performing at the Mayflower he is in other places. Also he normally does the same show two yrs in a row. So i won't spoil the big finally because, like always, it was epic and it had me in hysterics. But i can say he put me and Katie into a trance making me stand up. It felt weird and v relaxing when i came back into the real world. Katie was apparently more into the trance than me. I'm glad i wasn't fully into the trance as the two people who where most in the trace were put on stage. One drank vinegar and the other was suspended over two chairs. Katie also went up for a trick after getting the Frisbee. It was a game of guess who. There were pics of people in the stalls. Katie had to choose someone. She then put her hand on his shoulder. Derren would ask her questions to eliminate some people but she would only think her answers and not say them out loud. I'm still astounded by his trick involving the box covered by wool in a glass in a box in a box. His also made some spirits visit the Mayflower (like always). Basically if u get a change to see this show then go ahead.

When i got up on thursday morning i felt so relaxed and calm even though i had only had around 6 hrs sleep. It was the same sort of feeling i got when i got out of the trance just not as intense. So Derren Brown was messing with my body even after the show was over so I'm quite scared.

So skins series 4 is over and it was awful. The final episode was one of the worst yet. It resolved hardly any of the stories and I still have no idea why the phycologist killed Freedie. The stories that were resolved were done v quickly like emily suddenly forgiving Naomi and Pandora forgiving Thomas. This series was awful but it had a few good eps. I enjoyed the one focused on JJ and the one focused around Katie. The show somehow made me like Katie even though I hated her in series 3. I have one big problem with skins that i really noticed in Freedie's ep. His was riding around on a bike but last time i checked he was an awesome skateboarder who could do some amazing tricks. Or was that just to make the first ep of series 3 seem current. This also came up in JJ's ep. He's a magician (nothing new there) who plays the uke (since when). And since when could Thomas run that fast. oh right he couldn't run fast but now he can just so it looks like he is actually going to do something with his life. What i also didn't understand is how most of them did well in their exams though they never go to college. Sure Effy's results were faked but the others weren't. This series was so bad. Well weather u like it or not there will be a series 5 but with none of the cast returning. But I've had enough of skins and if I wanted to watch a load of teenagers addicted to sex and drugs then i would watch Misfits which was awesome.

Thursday lunchtime was weird so lets pretend it never happen.

I forgot to talk about the F1 in my last post. Maybe because it was boring and the new rules make overtaking basically non existent. Still Lewis came 3rd but that was due to Vettel (who should have won) having some problem in the exhaust. So i was disappointed but the first race of the season and I'm not the only one.

That be about all.

Derren brown

I just saw derren brown live with katie and emily. 5 words: my mind has been raped :(

I'm a celebrity

It's true. I'm famous as I'm on google street view :). Sure my face has been blurred but u can still tell it's me. So I think on Thursday Google uploaded street view of all of England. I learnt from tom that i appeared in street view waiting for the bus with bass. This must of happened about last February. I was waiting for the no. 5 bus from the train station as I was going to Bass' place. Not sure how I didn't notice a big van taking pictures of me. So here is me on google street view.

Anyway on Saturday I went to Sussex uni to look round the engineering department. It was up to the standard of Cardiff's facilities. Also for the first time ever i saw someone I knew. By knew i mean a boy in my physics class who I have probably spoken to like once which meant during the day we spoke like twice. Anyway it's a nice place and it v near Brighton which has Brighton pier which looks amazing due to all the rides.

Today was mother's day. I didn't get her much as she didn't want chocolate and she didn't want any music. She never wants anything so I was extra nice to her instead.

That be it.

One year :)

It started of with a post called it starts. Since then I've been doing posts about my weird and fairly uneventful life. Somehow u people find it interesting. I'm glad I started this blog as I get all happy inside the moment I find out a friend of mine reads this. It makes me feel special especially when it's someone i hardly know. So thanks to everyone who reads this. Life has been a bit depressing over the last few wks but I'm fine now. I'm happy with where my life is going. I have three groups of friends and all are amazing. I spend most of my life in the UPW group. We have a laugh and we have the sun. Sure we probably belong in varley but we want to keep r street cred, no matter how low it already is.

This current background on this blog is quite me. The guy on the laptop could looks like me and he looks childish like me. Also my fave colours are green and brown.

So results. One surprising + one bad but I expected it + one disappointing. Makes me all v neutral. I managed to still get a b in maths (by a mark) even though I found the paper hard :). Physics I failed but I've handed in my resit form and I'll do better in the summer.

So life. I was watching skins. I was like WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I think I may soon do another guess a person thing. I may include a prize but I can't be bothered right now.

So a year ago I started this blog but when and how will it end? No one knows but it's not ending any time soon.

barn dancing :)

Hello there.

Barn dancing on Saturday was amazing like always. Sadly this may be the last barn dance for quite some time. This is because Twyford normally has a barn dancing night once a month but Katy H, who is the main organizer in making all of our group go, is away so we probably won't end up going. Also Twyford has no barn dancing after the April one till September. Sure we may make this one but it's ages away and there will be no tom :'( (cries inside).

Anyway, I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow due to results and things. I think the physics re-sit went well and the maths paper was ok but i really struggled with the second physics paper. I may need some hugs.

On Friday i would of had this blog for a whole year :O

Saturday I'm off to Sussex for my final uni visit day. So after Saturday i can finally reply to my offers.

That's about it. Gd luck everyone for 2morrow. I hope ur results are what u want them to be.

DofE Certificate

I just got back from a presentation evening where i was awarded with my silver duke of edinburgh award. I think i may have embarrassed myself throughout the evening but i don't care. Me and 2 others helped out with the presentation. Our leader said we were just going to hand out the certificates when each of them came up to collect their award. We soon relished we were actually the announcers meaning we had to talk :O. We had to read out everyone's names and a bit about their experience of doing DofE. I was quite nervous when i found out we had been given this job but it didn't go that bad. Sure some bits I said wrong but this was the first time I had read any of this stuff. Also some people have some really annoying surnames. The person next to me made more mistakes but they weren't his fault. One of the experience bits said the person was a he when it was a she. silly typo. Anyway i got a gift for all my effort. A box of Cadbury's Milk tray and of course my certificate :) . It was a fun evening.

BYE

I completed the task

Today I tried to get to get my life in order. I finally completed the task that I've been trying to do for a few months but the outcome was one I didn't expect. It took a lot of confidence for me to complete this task. Me completing this task should have changed everything and my life would have be amazing. Sadly it didn't go that way. Hence right now I'm feeling neutral. Happy because I completed the task but sad as it didn't end the way I intended it to. I know this makes no sense but I like being cryptic.

I'm standing by the rules that I always stand by whenever I do a post on here. I will never lie but I can always hide. There is a lot of hiding in this post.

I'm feeling slightly better this week though i've been having depressive periods. On Wednesday, Jared as my witness, I had a massive mood swing at the end of lunch. I randomly got depressed for no reason. Soon I'll get my life in order.

Anyway back to life, I'm not looking forward to Thursday next wk as I don't think i did well in January. Also the buses will be packed as everyone, all of AS and A2, ave tutor in the morning.

Nothing interesting has been going on recently. I have barn dancing on Saturday which should be a gd laugh.

I really have nothing thing left to say. I'll soon fix my mood. sorry about this being so short. I've nearly had this blog for a year :)

Bye
