Three Awesome Things
1. The aforementioned party I went to last night. Great music provided by a nice combo of band/DJ along with fantastic company. Met some lovely new people as well as enjoying it with the stalwart party animals. Drinks were a little overpriced, but it could've been a lot worse.
2. McDonald's Drive Thru at 1 in the morning. Minus Car. Yup, two friends and I queued up behind the cars in a civilised manner and did what none of us thought possible. Ordered at the drive thru without a car. The magnificence of that moment made the double cheeseburger I had taste even better :D
3. LOVE by Angels & Airwaves. This was one of the things that really made my Valentine's Day. I won't go into a full scale rave review hear, but if you've liked what they've done in the past, you should really enjoy this. For those who don't or aren't aware of the band, give it a shot anyways - it won't cost you a penny. Here's where you can download it:

And if you don't like it, pass it along to someone else who might!
If procrastination prevails today, you can probably look forward to another post, if not, I'll be sure to update it at least once more this week. Maybe there's hope for this blog after all...

Happy Valentine's Day!
Yeah the blog's neglected, yada yada yada- you all knew that already.
In recent events...
A2 Drama exam went very well - no problems there.
Think I'm almost decided about which University I want to go to - lots of weight off my shoulders once that's sorted.
It's half term, which means hopefully lots of fun amidst coursework for Drama, English and History!
After 18 years of, shall we say, less than satisfactory Valentine's Days, I realised something. Sure, it's a day for those in happy relationships to celebrate what they've got and I've no problem with that at all (more power to 'em!)
The problem I have is this stigma that it's a day on which single people should be pissed off/depressed about/using it as a reason to complain against those who aren't single.
I for one have had a fantastic day which should get even better with a party I'm off to later. This is all in spite of what the majority of single people would have you believe I'm (and all other singles for that matter) capable of.
There's nothing wrong with being single and I don't see why there should be. If you want to have fun on Valentine's - go do it! If you want to do nothing but lie in bed all day and eat whilst watching movies - do that too! Hell, if you want to tell someone how you really feel about them, you can do that as well. Just like you can on every other day of the year.
I know it's not always that easy, but that's life for ya, and I am planning to try and enjoy each and every subsequent Valentine's Day, no matter whether I'm single or not.
Alright, time for me to stop ranting and get off to this party!
Hope you've all had a great day :)

Enjoyment > Disappointment
I've never really liked Argos. I like the (near) certainty of online shopping or actually seeing what you want on the shelf.
A code in a catalogue gives you nothing, as it did to me today. I rushed after work to see if they'd have what I wanted in stock. The computer I personally punched the number into said they did. I eagerly took the number to the counter to confirm this. No dice.
Thankfully I wasn't too certain that I actually wanted the item in question (a Transformer only just released here in the UK - Yes, I'm a geek). But still...
Anywho, mini rant over.
Work was finally a little more interesting today. Managed to make some progress in the last book I need to read for English - 1984 by George Orwell. After the slog of Frankenstein, it's a welcome relief.
Going out a little later on, which I can't wait for. Perfect chance to put all the rubbish of this week behind me (hopefully without a hangover in the morning!)
Make sure you all make the most of your weekends!

Short and Sweet
Not a lot to write home about really...
Failed my driving test, there's been some drama in drama (but everything should be ok).
University of Essex didn't really blow me away, but at least that's one I can kind of cross off in terms of my choices.
Parent's Evening tomorrow. Should be fun... - spot the sarcasm in that sentence.
Think that might be my shortest post ever. If so, yay me!
Stay classy people.

Let's rock it.
Motivation.
That's the name of the game for me at the moment. If I have it, I am generally in a good place. If I don't, then things tend to not go so well.
Prime example, my history retake exam this week. Honestly, I didn't revise nearly as much as I should've, so it kind've kicked my butt. No point moaning about it, just gotta make sure I work hard as in the rest of history this year.
I'm also getting quite pumped for my driving test now. All I can really do is try my best, since I doubt I'll ever be in a place where I'm truly 'ready' for it. There's just too many uncontrollable things about it. I'll let you know if I'll be able to offer you all lifts of course...
Going out for the first time in a while tomorrow night - should be a laugh.
As always, if you expect that I've posted, wait a day or two longer and you may be in luck.
