ok. so this is well overdue i know, but at least i'm finally getting round to posting. since last i posted, loads has happened, and im not quite sure where to start.

easter went as expected, argument after argument with my parents about jobs and money, the only one actually giving a damn about how i was doing was my brother. as a consequence of all the shit i've been through with my parents this year, i have, perhaps for the time being, cut all ties with my parents, which has unfortunately left me without the ability to contact my brother until term starts again and i can get hold of him at his semi-boarding school.

for those of you who don't know, i went through some problems with my health between november and february (i'm not going to get into what, but it was not fun), combined of course with the incessant drinking and general laziness when it comes to work, i have done badly this year. having failed to get at least half my assignments in, i now have a month to sort it all out, or i'll fail the year, which kinda scares me.

currently, i am still in lampeter, but am homeless, jobless and moneyless; as for my love life, that also went through the rocks, as i finally gave up with ben and went through some shit with a couple of guys, but as my life seems determined not to entirely screw me over: for nearly the past month now, i have been blissfully happy (apart from the weekend i spent moping, for which i apologise to everyone i saw in london), courtesy of the wonderful greco-londoner now in my life, without whom i would not still be afloat. i did spend the weekend in london recently, and took the chance to see friends, but not everyone i am afraid, to those of you i didn't get the chance to see, i'm sorry, to those of you i did, but was kinda distant with, it was good to see you all, next time i'll try not to be so depressing.

don't really know what else to say but yeah, that's what's happening in a nut shell really, if you want to know details, give me a bell, the only thing i don't wanna talk about is the health issue.

peace out,

vicki

ok, so i've been away a while, as i often am but the last thing i expected to see was thati'd reached 1000 pageviews...i NEVER post art anymore, and when i do it's shite, although i am working on my drawing, maybe if i think it's good enough, i'll post some at some point

My god St. Patrick's Day was AMAZING this year. If you were to ask me what I did that made the day so good, I would say that I basically drank alcohol copiously. I was in the bar since it opened at noon, starting off with the usual, vodka with some soft drink, and drank non-stop ALL DAY. At 4 o'clock, I ordered the first guiness of my day, and although I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, I managed to force 4 pints of the stuff down my throat within an hour, thus earning myself a funky Guiness/St. Patrick's Day Hat which increases my height by about 5 inches. By the time it came to dinnertime, I had managed to spend in the region of £25 on alcohol, whilst buying about half my drinks. Upon reaching my flat, instead of stopping my alcohol consumption, I went to my store, where I found what remained of my birthday gin and proceeded to drink it...the bummer was the fact that I was out of tonic water and had a 30 min time limit to cook, eat and get dressed, ready for the union elections/cocktail/jamesbond-themed party in the campus club. Therefore, I decided to drink said gin straight, finding no suitable mixers in my flat whatsoever. At approximately 20.00 I was back out, and ready to continue. The drinking cvommenced, and was sustained throughout the night until about 5 am, when I had run out of both money and alcohol. All in all it was a good day/night, and despite spending a ludicrous amount of money, and an even more ludicrous amount of alcohol (not to mention the mixing...some of you know all to well what mixing does, or rather did, to me), I was only tipsy, if that by the end of the night, and woke up with no hangover in the morning (or afternoon, rather). Now I get to wait for next year, where I intend to do much the same thing, although I will be earning my Guiness t-shirt instead...roll on 2007!

P.S. If anyone wants a detailed list of precisely what I drank, let me knoe and I shall attempt to dredge it out of my memory

and here's the one with people from back home in london
