A birth of a song, a death of a dream...

Do you ever get urges (not dirty ones)? I was happily walking to the bus stop this morning when the overwhelming urge to watch Top Gun with Macaroni cheese occurred. I swear this is true and one night this week, I will do it because my parentals have abandoned me (again) and have gone for a jaunt 'caravaning' down south, leaving little old me home alone with a fur ball (but a loveable fur ball at that)!

Whilst on the bus, I put on 30 Seconds to Mars for the first time in ages and all day I have been listening to them. There's just something indescribable when it comes to that band. We just click! Again, there was no metro on the bus which to be honest, is getting beyond a joke. If you're going to provide a crappy, free newspaper at least make sure there is enough for everyone to go around! I stopped at Gregg's again for breakfast and sat down with it in George Square. I cannot lie, the Gregg's situation is getting beyond a joke, I really need to stop. I'm going to give up sausage rolls and eat those Breakfast biscuits Lisa Snowdon harks on about (really, I will). I then took a walk up the 90° hill and went into my first lecture, which was suprisingly interesting for once (and when I mean interesting, I mean I didn't fall asleep although there was one point when my eyes went in different directions but that's another story...). I then sat in Rottenrow gardens for a while, enjoying the rare sunshine Glasgow had to offer today and then went to my first entrepreneurship tutorial which was actually really good!

Seriously, look how blue that sky is...

Then, I decided to head to the cash machine at the union when I bumped into Lauren. We decided to go for a drink in the Gamezone (as you do) and then walked to the bookshop, where I bought a hoody and my HR book. I cannot describe the feeling when I handed over £70 worth of notes to the sales assistant, it was just horrible. I just hope it's worth the money! We then quickly hit Gregg's (I told you it was bad) and then Lauren ran off to her tutorial. But we're definitely gonna make it a weekly thing which is good fun! I then caught a bus (with the grumpiest bus driver ever) and the finally made it home at the ripe ol' time of half five.

I found this in the newsagents. I lol'd...

Must admit I'm not looking forward to tomorrow in all honesty. Having to get up at 6am and then working in the evening straight after university isn't going to be pleasant for sure! But I'll get through it!

Brotherly love (except with your sister instead)...

Here is a selection of the best webcam photos of Katie and moi. Like a 'Hall of Fame' but we're not famous (yet) so it's therefore the 'Hall of Lame'. Yeah.

We would make minty old men...

Yes, I am related to that...

A nice one, how shocking...

Through the looking glass (or the goldfish bowl)...

Fucking class...

Well Hello there....

Paha...

Surprised?

Sums up our relationship...

Tee heee...

She looks like a right paedophile in this one...

Heeeeeeeey...

You look like a Platypus!

Ehhh ayee!

Simpleton look...

Ch-ch-changes...

I have decided upon a change of scene. The other layout didn't have the professional edge I was going for (although that monkey was awesome)!

So what happened today in the world of Amy? Fuck all. But, for all you guys, I shall try to make it as exciting as possible! (Emphasis on try).

I woke up today at the ripe ol' time of 11:52am and watched snippets of Willy Wonka and Edward Scissorhands (the latter which always tugs at my heartstrings). I then got ready drearily for work and clocked in at around 2pm. It was a nice quick shift, especially when Rebecca and Nicole came in. We had some beast quotes and here is a list:

• "Scabby Aggie is Al Queda, without the turban"
• "You can fart in the chill because you can blame it on the fish" - John
• "If I waxed his legs, I'd make sure I'd get some sack an' all!"
•  "Dirty Witch!"

It was rather excellent. And this man decided to start chatting to me and towards the end went "I'm in here all the time, my name's Dave and I work at the local Swimming Pool!" Okay Dave, nice to know! Oh and also, during Rebecca and mine's break, we watched the X Factor, belting out Opera, 'We Built this city on Rock N Roll" and Rebecca shouting, 'There's been a murder!'. But aye, it was a good wee shift although the fact I'm doing the same tomorrow is just a teeny weeny bit soul - destroying. I have been described as crazy but I will be a rich eccetntric at that! Hopefully, I'll have something more exciting to tell you over the next few days!

'Awwwww, Football Fwiend'...

I'm actually finding it quite difficult to construct a blog right now, so bare with me (and no, it's not alcohol)!

For once in my life today, I acted on impulse. Anyone who really knows me will probably understand I have a need for a concrete plan and that 'winging it' is not an option I feel comfortable. I have my whole life planned out in all honesty and that's what makes me feel secure. I'm probably bigging this up but it is a very rare act indeed for me to act impulsively so I want to celebrate my stray from the norm! I was chatting away to Devon on MSN when we both collectively decided to go to the town centre and meet for half an hours time. Yes, that people, is an act of impulse because I could not be arsed in all honesty. We got to the Westwood Square and disappointingly found that the Deli was closed (or for you dramatic folk, I collapsed to the floor in heartfelt agony, sobbed and looked to the sky asking whyyyyyy, Devon can verify that for you). Alas, without a nommy baguette in our hand, we headed to the town centre and then met up with Jill. They proceeded to Friday Football whilst I bought a shitload of new make-up and toiletries all whilst losing my bus pass and regaining it. Heart attack avoided.

A ned's point of view, fascinating insight...

I got home, showered, ate dinner and then went to the local public house, Shenanigans to watch the football, Scotland vs. Czechoslovakia game. The game was absolutely shite. The formation was wrong, there were no strikers on the field when we needed them and the Czech's scored, probably putting us out of Euro 2012. An abysmal game overall but a good night with great company in all. Although I do regret spending about £3 on the quiz machine (Fuck you, Raphael Clarke whoever the hell you are)! Lauren and me left around 11 and got a wee chip-peh and then taxi'd it back to our respective abodes. A good night all in all but sadly no pictures of the night so I shall leave you with another picture of the day!

If I saw this I would think the world was exploding...

Picture of the Day

The comet, 'Hartley 2'

Do they have Llamas in North America? ...

I really need to get up earlier. Everything (for once) went perfectly this morning. However, I have the sneaky suspicion that the bus may have turned up a few minutes earlier (it's obviously not my fault, nothing ever is...) so I had to get the (ahem, 'Jakey') number 20 to George Square. I really dislike that bus with a passion, it's like an insight into the world of junkies, benefit frauds and knife-wielding neds (I so don't belong in that world, in case you hadn't of guessed).

I was late to my first lecture, which actually upset me because it was Hospitality and Tourism but even if I had wanted to go in, I wasn't feeling great and had to take a stroll up to Sainsburys and buy some paracetamol (which did the trick, thankfully)! I then ate my breakfast in the middle of George Square, which would actually be nice if it wasn't for the silly lady who decides to feed the pigeons. I don't particularly have a problem with pigeons (seagulls and geese, however, are a very different story) but it disrupted my nice breakfast and as the lady walked away, I burned a hole in her back with my imaginary laser vision. I then made it up the hill to HR Management, which again, was incredibly boring but it was all good because Marketing came and I metaphorically woke up again. In my blog, I have decided to include 'Harker's Joke of the Day' (I will put it in quotation marks to adhere to referencing rules'.

"Has anyone ever been Skydiving before? Ahhh, no hands? That explains all the empty seats"

I was all in settled in for management when the dastardly fire alarm went off. We were out for ten minutes though (still doesn't beat the four fire alarms in a day at school that time). Then once let back in, we had a mediocre lecture (just because mediocre is my word of the day). At 1pm, I met up with Fraser, where I finally got my hands on books and we had a nice wee chat outside the union! I headed to the library where I had a spot of lunch and rang 'Vatti' (pronounced 'Fatty' which amused me to no-end) which takes me to the here and now! I have completed a page of my entrepreneurship assignment which is pretty good going for me! I'm bloody freezing though...

Just like the white-winged Dove sings a song...

Argh, I feel like I'm in a cage right now.

However, it is probably the best place for me to be right now because I am in a right filthy mood and some poor sod will get the brunt of my annoyance if I'm let out.

Eurgh, I can't even type what I want to say, hopefully my mood will have improved by tonight.
