Oh my it's been a while. But that's because I didn't have a lot to write home about 8D

It was my 18th birthday last Thursday. I can now vote, buy alcohol, buy cigarettes, get into 18 movies, buy 18 movies, get a credit card and a whole ton of other stuff. I got some nice things too. I got Dollhouse and My So-Called Life DVDs, A really warm hoodie, £110 and a 1 Terabyte External Hard Drive. Plus, my brother took me out to London (his treat) on Saturday and bought me a few things. I got from that trip Fight Club and an 8 disc set of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog on DVD, A hugeass Japanese Dictionary, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, 30 Seconds to Mars' first album and THE MARAUDERS MAP! It's massive and really detailed and even smells like old parchment I had an awesome birthday and we went to dinner (the most hilarious moment was when my Nan tells everyone she'd like to see a male pole dancing stripper ) and my friend Jacqueline got to come along too (we finished off this massive dessert @.@). My brother bought me this drink called the Brain Haemorrhage which didn't kick in until ten minutes after I'd drunk it. Took the day off of college after because I honestly was bothered to go in (plus I was a bit hungover and throwy-uppy ). This coming weekend I'm having a party with some friends which will be great I hope

In November, I'm going to see 30 Seconds to Mars play in London with my friend Sophie which is going to be EPIC! I'm hoping she's gotten standing tickets so we can push our way to the front and maybe Jared Leto will touch us It would be like a dream come true!!!! Sophie is an epic, amazing person who was one of the people who got me into My So-Called Life and renewed my love of 30 Seconds to Mars . I may just skip college that day... depending on when we're meeting up etc. (will save about £30 so I can pay her back for the ticket and get to London)

Recently, I've been listening to this British singer whose act is IAMX and he is very good. Look him up!! His music is talks about "sex, death, narcotic intoxication, bisexuality, decadence, religion, alienation and allusions to politics" according to Wikipedia

College is JDKBDBDFKSBF at the moment. Film ad English are going fine but Media and Japanese are a bit hinky >.< I have to do all this stuff for my essay in Media which is driving me nuts (the final draft is before half term and I haven't yet completed my first draft of my new essay as my original one was "good but wouldn't get marked as it didn't fit into any of the three key concepts" *eyeroll*). Japanese is so much right now. We're getting so much Kanji and I can't revise them all in time and my head is going all @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ERROR#######~#~#^&*%&%\"(\"$}~@}\":$?> [shut down]. If I just go back and put all the Kanji's onto post-its and put them on my wall then I'll be fine (I did that as revision for the hirogana and katakana and it worked wonders). Plus, I still need to finish my UCAS profile AND write my personal statement @.@ BOOOOO! I need time to freeze >.<

Writing is slow at the moment. I missed my deadline for finishing First Love bcause chapter 17 was giving me trouble... so I skipped onto chapter 18 and I'll go back to it later. Chapter 18 is half written in my Media Studies notebook (which I then spilt water on the margin of @.@). But hopefully soon I'll be able to flex my creative writing skills in English (hopefully! We're studying James Joyce's Dubliners at the moment and then we'll be looking at some poems (you can hear the my groan of false happiness from there can't you?))

I do have a job interview on saturday!! After about three-four months of job hunting, I finally find a opening for the new Sainsbury's supermarket that's opening in town soon. We already have a Sainsbury's... but they're building a new, bigger, better one. The total number of supermarkets in My area (Farnborough, Camberley, Frimley (I don't count Aldershot )) to about 7 within a 5 mile radius, but possibly 8 if you count the big Marks and Spencer but that's more of a department store that a supermarket... I'm applying for a checkout job (although it's only temporary, it'll look good on my CV) which works Monday's after college and good hours on the weekend which let me have fun I'm hoping they might offer me a permanent position when my contract is up but if not, I can use them to find another job (people won't hire me as I have the equivalent of about 2 weeks experience in a retail environment >:3). Hopefully that'll go well and then I'll be earning £6.44 an hour, 17 hours a week ^_^

Anywho, it's late and I need to get up earlier tomorrow to do English homework. Good night!!
