Home alone

Most 19 year olds would be ecstatic that their parents are on holiday and have the house to themselves. I'm pretty sure that most of them would have had a party by now. But then again, im not most 19 year olds.

When i finished work yesterday i found myself alone in the house, except for my dog that i'm looking after. After i took of my coat on put my bag down i found myself unsure with what to do with myself. I decided to watch a film - and then realised ive watched all of my dvds about 5 times already. So i decided i'd read a book - but im still waiting for The Sparhawk series to arrive and i had my heart set on reading that. Therefore, i went downstairs to play on my nintendo wii - which decided not to work...great. So i switched my laptop on, and found myself bored; i checked my emails, facebook and if the manga series im reading was updated. It was't. So i sat down on my leather reclining sofa's (which i always manage to brag about - even on livejournal) and resigned myself to watch the telly. I don't watch telly. So i flicked through the channels and , surprise surprise, nothing took my fancy.

At this point i decided that some alcohol was needed to get me through the night. So off i went to Morrisons which i bout some malabu (coconut rum) and some ice cream. When i got in i switched the telly on, again, and decided to rent a movie of virgin on demand. Which took me about an hour. I finally settled on a comedy called 'How to loose friends and alienate people' with simon pegg in. It was surprisingly good, and for 2 hours i forgot i was bored. Untill it finished.

I ended up in bed at 11 0'clock on a saturday night. I just really hope its not like this for the rest of the week. I'll end up killing myself with boredom.

rainy days

2009-05-15T13:13:22Z

Yet another rainy day in Jarrow. I guess it was a bit too much to ask for a few more days of sunshine...I hope it comes back for June when im off to download!!!! coz it would mega suck if was all wet nd muddy.

Going to see john barrowman at concert today!! im really curious to see how he does 'I am what I am'. It's gonna be really good.

I really need to stop eating chocolate and sweets - i just bought a pick & mix nd ate it all. nd i bought dome chocolate last night. URGGG!!! i really wish i dint have a sweet tooth - it would make me loose weight so much quicker lol

Another Poem

2007-07-22T10:30:50Z

Home

At Hogwarts

Family and friends

Hold the same feelings –

It's a bond they all share

Strong friendships are made there

Inner battles are overcome

A second chance is given freely

And protection for all

A place where the old

Teaches the young

And in return

They learn some new lessons

Where the first leaves their marks

For the next to discover

And the new will experience

And aspire to be better

Dreams are fulfilled

Love is experienced

Along with its counterparts

Of Heartache and guilt

Where the bravery dwells in all

And legends are made

Happy moments and sorrow

It's a bond that is shared

. . . at home.

Mr Padfoot and Mr Moony

2007-06-30T13:20:58Z

Mr Padfoot, the marauder that he is, decided to pull a most disagreeable prank on Mr Moony. Mr Moony, unfortunately, was not amused with Mr Padfoot’s antics and has consequently said so.

"Mr Padfoot would like to inform that Mr Moony acts too old for his age and that he should learn to have a sense of humour"

"Mr Moony would like to notify Mr Padfoot that Mr Moony is not old and Mr Padfoot should keep such disagreeable comments to himself if he has nothing nice to say."

"Mr Padfoot would like to comment that what Mr Moony had just said proves that he needs to lighten up"

"Mr Moony would like to announce that he does not need to lighten up as he has got a sense of humour, and would like to inform that Mr Padfoot is an adult and should act like one"

"Mr Padfoot would like to inform that Mr Moony is a hypocrite as he is also and adult and should not act like an old fart"

"Mr Moony would like to comment that he is deeply insulted by Mr Padfoot’s remark and would like to advice that is Mr Padfoot likes his face the way it is then he should refrain from commenting on Mr Moony’s age."

"Mr Padfoot would like to inform that he does like his face as he believes it if very handsome, thank you very much. Mr Padfoot would also like to comment that his face is much more agreeable to the eye than that of Mr Mooney as Mr Padfoot does not have wrinkles and grey hair"

. . .

"Mr Padfoot would like to enquire as to why Mr Moony has now in his possession a frying pan in his hand"

"Mr Moony is deeply insulted by M Padfoot’s comments and would like to inform that in the near future this frying pan will connect with Mr Padfoot’s head to the satisfaction of Mr Moony"

*WHACK*

A pride and Prejudice fan fiction

2007-06-30T13:19:16Z

This is my version of how the Netherfield Ball should have went between Lizzy and Mr Darcy, hope you like :D:D

The dance at Netherfield Park

When the dances were over Lizzy returned to Charlotte Lucas, and was in conversation with her, when she found herself suddenly addressed by Mr Darcy, who took her so much by surprise in his application for her, that, withought knowing what she did, she accepted him. He walked away immediately and she was left to fret over her own want of presence of mind. Her heart jumped – what was that, she thought, and put it down to nervousness.

The current dance was over, and her dance began. They stood for sometime withought speaking a word. Her nerves increased the longer his hand toughed hers, his closeness, his smell; it made her surprisingly uneasy, which she tried to ease by talking. A slight observation of the dance was made by her, a brief reply on his part. Talking ceased, drawn out by the lack of possible topics. Her nervousness grew, her heart pounded. What does this mean? she thought. She looked up into his eyes to acquire an answer.

And everything changed

Her world narrowed; Charlotte, Jane, even Mr Wickham left her mind. Her only thoughts were of Mr Darcy, everyone else were of no comparison.

They fitted perfectly together whilst they glided across the floor, an extension of one another, one mind. One Soul. Social status mattered nothing to her, of rich and poor – merely two individuals blending together. Admirers looked on. The feeling in her heart began to build, corrupting her very being. It shattered her senses until the dance was her sole concentration, nothing mattered but Mr Darcy.

Then suddenly it disappeared, the dance finished, the moment gone. Lost forever. Disappointment seeped out her skin, a sense of loss overpowered her, half of her soul ripped away. She felt breathless, her gaze transfixed on Mr Darcy, her mind blurred.

Hands clapped. A bow. And he was gone, the slap of boots on the hard floor, unaware of the pain he caused. Her senses rejoined her, people were seen: the laughter and gossip filtered through her ears once more.

Her mind raced – what just happened? Her legs felt like jelly, yet she walked away. What was that feeling? What does this mean? She pondered these questions, afraid of an answer. Someone was talking – Charlotte Lucas, her mind told her. I must be myself again; she thought, and consequently composed herself. She was again Lizzy Bennet who was delighted with anything ridiculous and having a lively, playful disposition, and the precious memory was stored In the back of her mind, as a ball, she recalled, was not a time to reflect and ponder.

the ending

2007-01-31T18:53:17Z

The Ending

The childern, the students, the teachers,
filling with laughter,
life.
I crave a way out.

My hearts feels like a diamond
precious and beautiful
cold and abstract
the sharp edges thawing away

A being of nothingness
and end of a living
hurts to think, to feel...
to be.

Glittering steel against my chest
plunging deep into my heart
cut out the pain, the memories,
the overwhelming ache that he is gone...

I only want an end.
