The Train to Nowhere

So at the moment I'm blogging from the train which is currently stuck somewhere in between Newington and Rainham. The train is completly electrically dead and the actual rail line is currently being investigated. I as always look as this situation with child like wonder and curiosity...the idiot behind me just wants to sue British Rail for various imaginary infractions against him. He also feels the need to voice this opinion loudly to everyone else. He's worried he may lose his job if he's late but instead of phoning work to explain the situation he would rather burden the rest of us with his thoughts and opinions. What a tosspot. Well thats my little adventure for the day and I'll update either here or on my new YouTube channel SearchingForTwinkies about what has happened and what the future holds for us lost souls on this train to nowhere.

Post from the Break Room

I'm currently blogging from the break room on placement. This placement is okay but not fantastic. That's all I can really say about that. Other then placement and university not much has happened, I've had a couple of epic trips up to Preston to see Gina and she's coming home in just under 2 weeks for Christmas. This will be the first of a lifetimes worth of Christmases together and I cannot wait. That's all for now, just a quickie folks.

The Road Back to Preston

So here I sit in the university lecture theatre and as normal I'm lost in my own thoughts (because my lecture is that interesting) and as always those thoughts take me back to Preston. I've spent so much time up there recently (almost 2 weeks) that it became my home. Gina is up there and will be till she comes back for Christmas. I miss her everyday and right now I'm ready to give up everything and move up there to be with her. I also feel as though my balance of friends has shifted up there, I speak to Gina's flatmates and friends more then I do anyone down here, when I returned home Monday I felt like a stranger, like I dident belong and I still feel that way. Gina finishes her 1st year in May and I finish in August, by then I'm hoping that I'll have secured a job up there and me and Gina will be moving in together. Wherever she is thats my home and I cannot wait for that to start. For now though, the situation is what it is, Gina up north and me in the south.

All I See

On my way back from an amazing 7 days with Gina. This was not an arranged visit. This was a 'my fiancee is having a bad day so I'm gonna head up there' visit. I'll be back up on Friday for an arranged visit. We pretty much spent the whole time together hanging out or chilling with her various flatmates. I'm on the train from Preston now getting ready to get to Gillingham for my 1500 lecture...boring :-(. Anyway fellow readers just a quick update there on what I have been up to (and it's not much). Until next time my friends.

The Big News

So yesterday I blooged that there may be some big news being posted up here. Well here it is. Me and Gina are engaged!!!!!!. I knew from our very first moments together that she is my soulmate and the future and life with her is the only one I want. I love her, always and forever, no doubts and no regrets. So fellow readers there you have it and for the canny ones among you I did hint at this in an earlier post so if you picked up on that well done. Since I'm blogging off of my mobile I'm keeping this short. Until next time.

Time for a state of the union

i'm blogging from work right now so i'll keep this short. Things are amazing at the moment. I'm having a great time at uni and cannot wait till I qualify. I spent another perfect weekend with Gina, every moment is perfect with her. I love her, always and forever, no doubt's and no regrets. I'll be moving up north with her when I qualify and I cannot wait, it's going to be amazing, it's going to be perfect. I may possibly be blogging some great news soon...we shall see. For now I shall depart to blog another day.

Well...What Can I Say

It's been a while readers. So here's an update on whats happened since my last post. I have started my final year at uni and am not hating so far. Gina is all settled up in Preston. I'm missing her everyday, it's tough but come next year I'm moving up there and we're gonna be living together...I cannot wait...I wish it would start now. She finishes in May and will be moving home for the summer...which means we're gonna be rushing to find a flat together but I know we will be fine. I visited her last weekend and it was epic to see her again...had a tough time letting go of her at the train station...it's gonna be tough every time but the alternative would be worse. Seeing her again in 15 days for the weekend...wish I was able to stay longer but we both have university obligations to see too. That's really about it folks. With Gina gone I'm back to being just me in my box at home. My happy thoughts though...every visit and web cam session with Gina...I love you my darling, always and forever, no doubts and no regrets x x x x <3 <3

Peace

Everything

Just a quick update, Gina sent me a really great photo of me and her taken before she left. Missing her x x x x

No Sound But The Wind

So another update. It feels good to be back at university and see all of my friends and 3rd year will hopefully go well and fast. Missing Gina like crazy though and the best part of my day is getting home and seeing/talking to her on web cam, as previously mentioned I'm going up once a month (hopefully) to see her for the weekend...31 days till I visit, I hope they go quickly. Not much else is happening right now so I'll leave it at that.

Make This Go On Forever

So I thought it was time for another update. Since the last update Gina has left the island and is now settled in (mostly) in Preston. It's empty here without her, when I got home...it didn't feel like home...I know now that home is where she is and for the next three years (maybe 1 year if I get a job in Preston) we're gonna be using web cams and I'm gonna be travelling up there every month (as much as possible) to see her. She is my world, my everything, my darling, my boa bei, my love, my future, my best friend and my family.

In other news I'm back at uni from tomorrow onwards for my final year (EEEKKKKKK!!!!). The final hurdle in this crazy game of education...looking forward to it, have missed all of the guys and gals big time....there my other family and right now I need them.

Till later my friends.

Less Than Three

So here I am again and as always I apologise for the delay, had a busy summer of work and spending as much time as physically possible with Gina before she goes...which is in THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!. She's gonna love university life but I wish she dident have to be so far away....but....on the bright side....we have a me visiting her schedule made up, we now both have webcams and microphones so we can video chat as often as possible. Thats all for now, I'm back to university on Monday so I'll update around then with how 3rd year may play out until then my friends...

It's Been a While (Again)

Sorry guys for the delay in updating been busy busy busy these last few weeks. Finished my placement with the district nurses which was really good. Been spending most of my time with Gina just relaxing and other activities. Have officially made it into my third year at university and cannot wait for it to start, missing all of the guys and girls. Hmmmmmmm went to Summer in the City on Saturday which was awesome...met some great youtubers and had an awesome day out. Other then that not much has happened, update soonish.

Peace x

Question

Hey again world...sorry about the delay in updating...have been busy and then sick :(. I asked Gina a question on 29.7.11 and she said yes. I love her, I love her till the end of the world and then past this till the end of everything we know...and then I still love her. And now after asking her this question...She is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and will spend the rest of my life with.

Other then that...not much has happened.

Peace x x

A Good Time

So it's been a while since I last updated my blog. Things are amazing!!...My placements going great and I made it into my final year!!!...Things with Gina are amazing...I love her with all of my heart...in every way she is amazing to me...thats really all my news this time around guys.

O' Children

So I've had two amazing nights with my PG round her house....two nights where I wish I could have frozen time. Just lying there talking with her in my arms...it's a place I love being. As I said to her earlier...'the hardest part of my day is leaving her at night...the best...waking up knowing I get to see her'.

Peace x x

Keep Me In Your Heart

Im falling in love with her. Her every move, her every smile, her every word...PG Im falling in love with you...there's nothing in this world I would not do for you <3

Mario...How I Love Thee

I have an N64 in my possession....need I say anything else?!?!

So...spent the Day with Gina around mine playing Mario Kart 64, watching The Lord of The Rings (The Two Towers and The Return of the King) and partaking in general epic stuff.

All in all I think it's been an epic day....Video Games, LoTR, 'Stuff' and moments of epic legendariness with Gina.

Peace x x

Kiss From A Rose

So I had a good day on placement with the nurses....do not want to talk about that...it's boring.

Met Gina once I finished shift and it was an amazing night. We watched two epic movies (Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Shaun of the Dead) and listened to some music whilst nomming on some pizza. All in all it was a fantastic and well behaved night and I did not want her to go home at the end. On a brighter note....the same is happening again tomorrow...movies and nomming on food....so I will not have to wait long before I see my PG again.

Peace x x

California

So just spent an amazing hour or so on the beach with Gina. With her...I'm completely comfortable to be myself (the geek and all). She is an epic of epic legendariness.

Peace x x

Two Of The Lucky Ones

I'm back to song names for blog titles again (where possible). So far I have had the best week of my life and she is the reason. Meeting her for an evening on the beach since the weather is good and all, I want it to be time already.

On another note an associate is having a problem and I hope she finds her way and her man. It had me thinking about risks then I remembered this.

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.”

There is a cost to most things in life, it's not until we take risks that the cost is known...I say....Frak the cost...if the risk is worth it...well then... in Tallahassee's words.

Green Lantern, Zombieland, Herself and Pizza

This movie is epic. It has the perfect balance of drama, action, romance and comedy (expertly delivered by the fantastic and ever so Nom Nom Nom Ryan Reynolds). I went to see it with Gina and she's blogged about it too. Anyway...back to the movie....great effects, great soundtrack, great acting and stays true to the story of Green Lantern and the comic world.

After our little cinema adventure we headed back to mine....watched some Zombieland (Because let's face it...that film is a training manual for the real thing), ate some pizza and generally hung out.....yea was a good day...great day.

The Girl and the Train

So if it's not mentioned I met a girl on the train a few months ago. She was sketching me...I thought 'Hmmmmm wierd...but cute and pretty'. And now we're hanging out...she's smart, funny, geeky (in the very cute way), pretty and impulsive. Definately took me by surprise :P...more posts to come.

Adrenaline Tattoo

Somewhere A Clock is Ticking

So much university work to do at the moment and we're all in the same boat. The clock is ticking down to my deadlines and I'm trying to stay ahead of the tsunami sized shit-storm thats heading my way.

On a lighter note, I'm feeling alot better these days, not so much withdrawl from A&E although at times it's still difficult.

New thing for the blog as well, as well as song names, I'm gonna do reviews of games and movies I watch or play, so have fun with that fellow readers.

Peace x

Non-Believer

Sometimes I think I've seen far too much death for a 21 year old. I know it's a hazard of the job and I deal with it pretty well but once every so often there's a death that sticks with you and you never forget.

Im handling things quite well at the moment I think...slowly gettting on top of all my coursework (it's lucky I had no social life really because if I did that would be fucked right now).

I just do not wanna become so detached and alienated from what I do that I begin to hate it.


Peace x

Its Been A While

So it's been a while fellow bloggers and I apologise. Between university and coming off placement I've been tied up. My placement was amazing, A&E is where I belong, it had its tough times but they were outweighed but the good. Now Im back to daily lectures, decent food and coursework. A new thing Im trying...if I can...every blog will start with the name of a song, todays is...drumroll please...It's Been A While by Staind.

Thats all for now, I'll try and blog again soon..

Peace x x

More Beans on Toast and Smelly Drunks

A&E is awesome, hands down the best placement I have had and my mentor is amazing. Being in the midst of all the frontline action is eye opening to the negative and positive aspects of the NHS and the job I'm hoping to do. Really difficult to sum up my experience in words (without writing and essay that is) so I'll just sum it up with...A&E is epic!!!

Peace x x

Beans on Toast

So here I am again, sorry about the delay in posting I'm back on placement at the hospital for uni and getting the Internet here is difficult. I'm here for 8 weeks working A&E, its definitely different. It's much more fast-paced and chaotic (in an organized way) then what I'm use too. This is how I like it though so I'm diving straight into the deep end with it...I'll blog again when I next can...for now...

Peace x x

Simpler Times

I love music it's a massive part of who I am almost defining me. I found two very old albums on my PC tonight Avril Lavigne's 'Let Go' and Good Charlotte's 'The Young and the Hopeless'. Listening to these albums again reminds me of a time back in '02 til '06 where I didn't have the worries I do now. No exams, no assignment, no bills and no worries. It reminds me of a time when it was dossing in school during the weekdays and during the weekends it reminds me of being down the skate park or county hall or dossing in Brenchly Gardens with my friends. We would skateboard and just doss completely care free. A part of me so wants that simple life back. I love the nursing studies I'm doing, the helping people, the medicine, the biology but really my dream job would be...9 to 5 in HMV...weird right...I just think it would help me regain so much of the simple life I lost and maybe give it back to me. This nostalgia has been playing on my mind for a week or so now...exemplified by the music of those times and I've started looking out for a reunion round to get back there...that's my thought for this blog...I wonder how many people want the simple life back.

Scott Pilgrim Tattoo

Just thought I would make a quick post with a better photo of the Scott Pilgrim tattoo on my left flank.

The Joys of Rain

So as normal it's raining here....a lot. Whenever it rains I always have this story in my head about a private detective in which the story takes place in constant rain...and for some reason starts off at Chatham train station...strange. Anyway I'm inside now planning to doss around and do nothing until my 1400 hrs lecture...what a fun life I have.

Peace x x

Ahhhhh...Sleep Deprevation

Holy crap...29 hours without sleep...I'm losing it a little. I got called into work for a night shift at 1700 hours yesterday after being awake since 0700 hours...and I'm still awake now doing uni work...been chattering to myself and speaking some random stuff apparently...it's getting fun...got to keep myself awake till at least 1900 hours so I sleep all night and feel refreshed for university tomorrow...between my jobs and university I've forgotten what a social life is.

Peace x x

Rejection Sucks

So I asked her or because I've got the guts of a guppy text her proposing a date...yea did not go well...easy, gentle and friendly letdown but still rejection sucks and hurts and a whole bunch of other crap. I mean seriously...I actually text her this...what is wrong with me am I defective or retarded in some way...'I know what would be really cool, I'll text the girl I like asking her on a date cos lets face it Michael your never gonna say it to her face'...so as you can see I'm in a bit of a shitty mood now...never mind she had her reasons (and they were disappointingly logical) so what can I do?...

Peace x x

Me, Myself and Uni

So here I sit in the university library trying to summon up the will to do some work...it's not coming easily. My relationship with uni is off and on as I struggle to maintain any semblance of a life whilst on this course. I love what I'm studying and loving being in the hospital but there are times where I think to myself 'Am I frakking insane!!!' so instead of working I choose to blog instead. Anyway I'm gonna go see if I can find a more silent area with less distractions...ooohhhhhh something shiny.....I'm back...see what I mean...very easily distracted.

Peace x x

The New Tattoo

So here it is my ultimate dedication to Scott Pilgrim:

This is the start of a larger design going up my entire left side and will contain all the character sprites from the game. Sorry about the crappy photo I will be uploading a better photo soon.

Peace x x

My Favourite Film and My Own Ramona Flowers

So my favourite film:

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

This film says everything about life for me in a really strange, whacky and in places 8 Bit way. It throws everything I love into one film the retro gaming edge, the geeky sense of humour, music and the leading lady Ramona Flowers.








Im single and I'm rubbish at it. The kind of girl I look for: smart, funny, quarky, geeky, a gamer, individual, wierd (the good kind not the 'lotion in the basket' kind) and pretty. So the real Ramona Flowers...if your out there...give me a bell.

Tattoo's

At the end of August 2010 I had my first tattoo done, since then I have had two more done and am now addicted to them with a 4th, 5th and 6th all in the design stages, here's some photo's of my present ink. x x

                                                 
                                                          Tattoo #1:

The Afterlight symbol on Right Mid-Forearm









Tattoo #2:

My Favourite Firefly Quote on Right Side of Torso









Tattoo #3:

Assassin's Creed Logo on Left Upper Arm










I don't know what it is about them that is addictive, I just enjoy having tattoo's done that represent my favourite things and represent little things about me.

A Little About Me

It's All About Me

I'm 21 and live in Kent, South East England. I'm a 2nd year Adult Nursing student and I love it, I also work part time as a flexi HCA and flexi CSW. My other loves (apart from nursing/medicine) include: movies, television, gaming (I'm a slave to the Xbox), guitar, music, reading, photography, day trips to new places, any kind of extreme sport and finding new and inventive ways to deafen myself with music. I wont list all my favourite films, TV shows, music etc. as it would take forever but they are some of my many passions. I'm single but always looking for someone to connect with...there kind of is someone but I'm a coward so yeah...not gonna do anything...anyhow there's a little about me...I'll update when I can or whenever some random thought floats into my head that I feel the need to share...anyway for now...goodnight and goodluck.

Peace
