in General Ravings Tags: Boys, update
So I have mentioned that I have a boyfriend, we have now confessed to each other that we love each other. In all fairness we were both drunk, at a house party and it’s completely true. I nearly said it to him a few days before this happened but managed to stop myself in case he didn’t feel the same way. But boy does he feel the same way! We ended up alone in a random room of the house party and we went to hug each other and he whispered “I love you”, I replied with “really”, he said “yeah” and I said “I love you too”. It was romantic in it’s own way. But nevermore have I wanted to cry out of happiness, it’s ridiculous. And now because we are “madly in love” I can’t stop thinking about him, he drives me nuts, but in a good way. Now and then we get all soppy with each other by text saying how much we love each other etc etc. But I’m not without my insecurities (because that would be too much to ask for wouldn’t it) and I keep worrying that I will scare him off or this is all a big practical joke with me as the punchline, because I care for him so much and because I find our relationship so amazing and him to be so amazing that surely this is too good to be true. It’s what any sane person would think (I think, who knows?) and so I have literally laid open my past to him and let him know all about me, even the little things just so he knows what he’s getting himself into, but even after all of that and including my overemotional side he still loves me and wants to be with me and misses me. We have made some plans together like I will be going to his for new year (so I need to be on my best behaviour and not drink too much), and we are planning on going to Athens next year for a holiday (which I can’t wait for), and omg at one point I suggested that he could move in with me next year when I move out of my parents, if he wanted to that is, honest to god I thought I had scared him off then, but he said it sounded good and he will see what happens next year as he may be going to afghan with the TA, but it would be amazing and would make me happy beyond belief. We are going to the Lumiere festival in Durham for our birthday, I haven’t mentioned this before but we actually have the same birthday only a year apart, now that is some crazy shit right there. I just want to see him all the time, I really do love him.
I didn’t honestly think I would fall in love this quick or at all for that matter, just didn’t think it was going to happen for me, I hope me and him do stay together for a good while if not for the rest of our lives, I could honestly see myself marrying him (not going to mention it to him or even go there with him though, he can get into that subject in his own time, I’m in no rush) in the future, we are a good match is what I mean overall though and I hate to think that we would ever split up, it saddens me deeply. Hell! It makes me want to cry.
That pretty much sums up the rest of my october

Well my cold has gone Yay! and things are on the up, apart from money which as usual is on the down. I’m really sticking at it in Jitsu and boxing conditioning, had some awesome social nights out and got a Boyfriend, Christ on a bike I’ve been busy! I have been thinking of what to wear/go as for Halloween, I really want to go as Kate Beckinsales’ character from Underworld but that requires buying some very tight wet look leggings and it will be cold, so I think I will just go for the bog-standard vampire: Corset, Black Skinny Jeans and either black heels or boots, probably boots to save my feet but I can’t dance that well in flat shoes. Anyways we will see.
The boyfriend thing is going rather well, we are seeing quite a bit of each other, and he doesn’t know it yet but it’s my friends’ engagement party at the end of this month and if he isn’t busy he’s totally getting dragged along : ) He’ll forgive me in the end but he’s gonna get a grilling off some of the girls from the uni group, it’ll be funny or at least from where I will be standing it will be.
Full of cold and bloody miserable!

in General Ravings Tags: cold, spending, whining
I have a cold! I’m very unamused by this, I believe I know the source of it, Joanne and Ceinwyn gave it to me, who in turn got it off the freshers, Damn those Freshers! My poor nose can’t decide whether it’s bunged up or running away from me, my throat is sore and I keep getting coughing fits. Basically I’m having a good whinge, because I can and I need to, so there! Jitsu tomorrow night though, it can be a bit like chest physio, or so I’m told, anyways looking forward to it.
I’m having a trip to the metrocentre tomorrow with mum (for any American readers, it’s a huge mall nearby), I’m looking forward to that also, there’s a chance I might get some Yo! Sushi, if I’m really lucky that is. I do however really need to take a pair of trainers back to Schuh, I bought them on a whim (big oops!) and really it was only so I could try to win an i-pad (obviously didn’t work), I only ended up with a £5 money off voucher, and I can’t afford them really so I’m taking them back. At some point.
Really need to stop impulse buying. Had any guilty spends or bought anything you probably shouldn’t have?
I should cut back on drinking. Probably.

in General Ravings Tags: drinking, hangover cures, hangover remedies
I’m a little hungover today, not as bad as some hangovers I’ve had but I’m not exactly ‘Perky‘ today. The story behind my hangover is that I was out for a friends birthday meal, and then somehow we ended up going clubbing til 3 in the morning. My feet are simply trashed, no other words for it really. I picked up my perfect hangover cure this morning: MacDonalds cheeseburger, large fries and a medium coke, full fat of course. This will sort me out every time, no questions asked, on occasion I have been partial to a fried egg sandwich, but then the egg has to be exactly right, and there are only a few places that I know of that can do a perfect fried egg (in my eyes anyway).
But what does it for you? What is your hangover remedy that will sort you out every time without fail? comment below to let me know, I may even try some (if it’s not too gross!)
HELLO, THIS IS YOUR CONSCIENCE SPEAKING (p.s. drink wine and eat desserts!)

in General Ravings Tags: cake, wine
I rather enjoyed a night in with my two closest team-mates from Jitsu, Joanne and Ceinwyn. Joanne and I went round Ceinwyns for a wine and cake night. It was a hilarious night, we shared stories, I kept confusing the word “wine” with “coffee” which Joanne immediately posted on facebook and I quote “lauren thinks our wine is coffee, Ceinwyn has sticky stuff on her jeans and the cats are asleep, now all we need is bubble bath”.
We found this hilarious and apparantly so did some of the Jitsu team. Joanne and I thought it would be funny to prank text her friend, so I got his number and texted him saying it was his conscience, he took it all in good spirit and thought it was funny, I have to admit that if he did take offense I would have told him who it was. But all is well, still continuing my hunt for men, but whats new with that eh?
I’m currently at Abigails house listening to music on the TV and waiting to go out later on, already we have worked our way through a bottle and a half of wine :O oops! Tonight will be. . . Messy . . . I think is the most appropriate word for it, to be honest she is turning 21 on monday so its more like a right of passage.
jitsu was good again today, i’m hurting less which is great, and so far I’m managing to reach each session, my lungs did feel like I had put them through a shredder. So obviously my fitness does need a lot of work, but hey its a start isnt it?
YO! I love sushi and restyles!

in General Ravings Tags: style, sushi
Omg! I discovered Yo! Sushi last week and I instantly fell in love with it. I always wanted to go in but didn’t want to do it alone or risk looking like a fool, however Joanne and Ceinwyn from Jitsu took me there and truly educated me on good and fast eating. One thing I particularly loved more than anything else was the Chicken Gyoza, fried dumplings with chicken and fragrant spices. I have also introduced these to my mum and she also fell in love with it, I then took Emma (my friend from my class) to Yo! Sushi and she also loved some of the food. So I have been spreading the Yo! Love this week.
Emma (the same aforementioned Emma) has also been trying to restyle me, which is quite funny because I’m a bit hopeless when it comes to fashion. She decided that I suit high-waisted skirts and trousers and more amazingly I agree with her because unfortunately for me I have a well rounded bum and the high waisted look really accentuates the better features of it and doesn’t just make it look massive. This has made me thoughtful on the subject of my wardrobe and makes me want to be more experimental with what I wear.
New Term, New Assignments

in General Ravings Tags: essays, socialising, uni
Back to University and I can say I’m really happy to be back, even though I have barely been back a week and already I have three essays! Absolutely ridiculous, but such is the way of my life. I’m happy mainly because I get to see all my friends again and be sociable once more, next week I’m helping my Jiu-jitsu team out with the sports fair during welcome week, plus theres the chance for loads of freebies on the plus side I get to see all or most of them again. Jackson is still pissing me off by picking on me and my temper is going to start getting shorter with him if he keeps on at it. But otherwise everything is great 
Pink Shorts!

I just saw the best thing ever and it made my day, Rugby players (the big burly type) in bright pink shorts, couldn’t help but laugh at them, the poor buggers!
Stupid Body Clock!

in General Ravings Tags: insomnia, sleep
My body clock is all screwed up, I’m not sleeping all that much during the night, and when I do sleep I have some crazy ass dreams. For example last night I dreamt I got stuck inside a claw machine, you know the ones where you use a moving claw to get the cuddly toy, well I climbed in the window of one of those and simply sat in it, it was a bit wierd to be honest. But mainly I think my lack of sleeping is due to doing nightshifts and having to sleep during the day, so I guess I never got out of that pattern. Back to Uni tomorrow though so hopefully I will sleep well tonight or I’ll be sleeping through my lectures 
Working nine til five, aye only in your lifetime Dolly!

in General Ravings Tags: shifts, work
Seen as I have finished placement and Uni until September I’m now working extra shifts to get on top of my bills, predominantly nightshifts. A) because the money is canny, B) I don’t have to put too much effort in it, and C) I can still do stuff during the day. Mind I sleep during the day more than the night at the minute, partially because I’m reading a new series about a female bounty hunter and it’s hilarious so I can’t put it down, well at least not until about four in the morning and then because my black out blind is so effective I don’t know what time of day it is when I wake up and tend to go back to sleep. That pretty much sums up my life at the minute.
