Is it safe to dance? It's safe to dance...

A fun and productive day at Karen's ensued. Lots of giggling interspersed with a bit of reading. I am not tired after eating eggy bread which was AWESOME, but still didn't beat my cheese, bacon and chicken toasty that was consumed at lunch.

I am going to get another couple of chapters of reading done tonight and then play on Zelda I think.



Today's PhD comic made me smile and look forward to a summer (and a lifetime!) of laboratory based hilarity.

This story made me laugh as well. I want to name an ice berg!!!

I would also like to do this sometime too pleasethankyou!

This was the real deal - a massive tornado was tearing up power lines evidenced by blue flashes on the ground. As lightning cracked all around, we got fleeting glimpses of its giant conical shape lit up.

Stormchasing in Tornado Alley

Every little thing she does is magic...

Second exam. Palaeobiolgy. Much better. Feel OK about it.

Next up evolution on Tuesday.

I really really want my camera lens to get here so I can at least get a bit of practice before Portugal.

Pie and STP at Karen's tonight! Yay. I'm so lucky. ^_^

Also things are looking good for my summer job. Have finally heard a bit more info and should be talking to the head lawn geezer soon!

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain...

First exam today, Cell Signalling. Went OK hopefully will have surprised myself in a good way.

Really not into palaeo revision tonight. Just can't focus.

Can't wait until Tuesday for a bit of a breather.

Pens beat Redwings last night back in Pittsburgh, finally we have a series!

Loose lips may sink ships...

Miserable day today, torrential rain, stuck in a cloud.

This is how I wish it looked outside my window but it doesn't.

Wings @ Pens game 3 tonight, hopefully they'll win to make the finals more interesting.

Tomorrow is my first exam. BMS215 Cell Signalling. I am not looking forward to it.

Hopefully it will go well and I shall be able to concentrate on Friday and Tuesday.



This is cool.

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep...

I found this today which made me laugh.

Karen is feeling ill. I am going over later to apprentice and hug her better.

Now to get on with silly BMS revision.

Pens lost game two last night, 3-0. Its looking unlikely that Sid the Kid will lift Lord Stanley this year...

I know you know everything...

To blogging!

Today was fun, I revised at Karen's which was cool and productive!

I even got a book from the library before it was blown away in the storm.

What makes the one to shake you down...

A good day indeed, Church was fab I ate loads of biscuits and we played some fun games.

Revision is going pretty OK and I had a fun afternoon with Karen.

We talked more about next summer and upgrading our photo gear and moving on with stuff. I'm really happy.

The pens lost game 1 which isn't so hot but hopefully they will bounce back tomorrow and even the series up 1-1.

If you want to destroy my sweater...

Fun day revising at Karen's. More time spent planning Africa and various other expeditions involving camera's!

I am now looking at Stanley Cup stuff on t'internet and came across this which I think deserves a place here.



Go Pen's!

Hold me and tell me we'll burn like stars...

It is a dull and boring Friday today. Woke up late and did a lot of behaviour reading. Am getting closer to finishing Zelda, I want to catch the final fish type next.

Going to watch the new Indiana Jones film tonight with Kazz, which is rather super exciting. JB said it was excellent yesterday so I am looking forward to it.

Karen is going to do work experience back at home for a couple of weeks in the summer which is very good news as she should definitely have enough days to apply for Hallam come September. Huzzah!

I should hopefully find out more about my job in the summer next week and probably get my lens!

The monkey on your back is the latest trend...

I am so full of food! Karen's parents came and took us shopping and fed us which was nice. I spent too much shopping and still need to pay for my lens. They've also taken my Portugal cheque out (cry) so money is going down a bit too rapidly.

Rather excited about the prospect of going to Africa, can't stop thinking about it. ^_^

Shall be working in some science based position over the summer although not too sure what at the moment.



I'll probably end up being "everyone else". ;)

I bless the rains down in Africa...

We are going to Africa!!



This is exactly like the magician at the ball.

And in the sea there was a fish...

Cute pig! Obviously photoshopped but still cute.

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

All I Want Is You - Barry Louis Polisar

Hey Miss Murder...

Crap day.

So annoyed.

So now you'll love these screams...

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Anyone else but you; The Mouldy Peaches

Its so true!

Our only weapons are the guns of youth...

Went and saw Juno at the union. Really good film. Soundtrack was cool.

Feeling in such a good place at the moment. Am in love and am loved.

Can't believe the Stars beat the Wings in Detroit??

I'll stay with you...

We bought a mosquito net today! And I got the Silmarillion, which I am rather excited about.

I was thinking when I was meant to be revising about how much fun we have together. I really enjoyed shouting in the middle of town so we could hear each other over the noise of the dummers and generally being silly. Makes me so happy.

I only had one nap whilst reading this afternoon.

Walls will fall before we do...

I found out I have a paying job for the summer! 6 weeks in labs, playing with MALDI-TOF mass specs, w00t.

Hopefully this won't occur.

Kazz should be getting info on work experience and SAS super soon which I am even more thrilled about. We had an awesome chat last night, despite me being rather tired. Stuff is moving and its great. I love it.

^_^

Are you dizzy yet?

Printer ink has officially arrived and my mass wastage of the Amazon can occur.

Genomics WILL be finished today and revision WILL start very much in earnest.

I really want a mini pig.

Karen loves me. ^_^

Let the water come...

My little brother always used to do this to me on MarioKart.

Am currently writing up genomics stuff. Should hopefully finish second part today!

Gymmed this morning. Still same weight, which is good I suppose. Am going to try lifting more next week as my arms do feel stronger.

Apprentice time later, with white magnums and Wii if I am cheeky.

What a stressful life.

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue...

Revision time begins in earnest.


To cheer myself up!


Why hasn't my ink come? Or my lens? :(

Leave the lights down low...

Stupidly sunny today, really warm!

May be going to Leadmill tonight but first shall finish silly tutorial write up. Bleh.

Tutorial pretty much done, bit of reading also done.

Pasta and pesto for tea, yay.

Press your lips to the sculptures...

Lovely time at church this morning. Weather fantastic again. Stuck inside working.

Photo time on facebook from the ball.

I will wait for you...

Ball time. Lots of photos and wine. Good night for most.

Beauty will last...

Ball day! Much excitement and getting ready.

Hope the weather stays dry and that the food is good.

I promised you a heart...

Another sunny day. Roller disco was awesome, although my ankles are paying for it this morning!

Only 1 day to go until the ball. ^_^

I made more mars bar cake too! I shall put a photo of it up later.

Made me laugh.Also worth a mention.

Its in the blood...

Massive gym session. Shattered.

Lunch at church and then cake making! ^_^

Update: Gorgeous day, able to walk around in shorts and t-shirt and still feel hot!

Rather excited about roller disco later! =D

Love like winter...

Beautiful day, weather is stunning. So nice to be warm for a change.

Crookes Valley Park, Bank Holiday Monday.

Now to work on my project.

Ambition...

15:18: Project is finally finished!

This little guy is finally cute again. ^_^

Sugar and Ice...

Warn your warmth to turn away.
Here it's December every day (I like that).
Press your lips to the sculptures
and surely you'll stay (Love like winter)
for of sugar and ice, I am made, I am made.

It's in the blood, it's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love. I taste of blood.
He bit my lip and drank my war
from years before, from years before.

She exhales vanilla lace.
I barely dreamt her yesterday, yesterday.
Read the lines in the mirror
through the lipstick trace "Por Siempre".
She said, "it seems you're somewhere far away" to his face.

It's in the blood, it's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love. I taste of blood,
She bit my lip and drank my war
from years before, from years before.

Love like winter, oh, oh...
Love like winter, winter... 3,4

It's in the blood, it's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love. I taste of blood.
He bit my lip and drank my war
from years before, from years before.
