The Sound of Tuesday

S'been a while. Where are you bloggers?

So, as I told David my morning consisted of quite possibly the most painful sneeze of my life alongisde some chemistry revision.
Aaand, psh I dunno.
There was English, and the new Sitcom soon to be sweeping the nation: 'Why I Hate Your Mother' starring: Mr Blanket, Fat Foot Duck and Sad Blob.
There was Chemistry and a bullshit practical exam thingy, which technically featured no practical element.

Silly college.
Wish I had more motivation.
Tbh, I spent the majority of my 'chemistry revision' staring at one of my paintings trying to figure out what it was lacking / what needed changing / what wasn't working.
And without fail whenever I'm trying to sleep or walking to college or having a bath or quite often when I'm at work I'm thinking about (seems pretentious and a little premature to call it a novel, but... psh, it's what I'm aiming for...) my 'novel'.
It's just, kinda pointless. I'm working so I can go to Uni so I can study a science, but I'm only really properly interested in the creative arts.
Not that I don't enjoy Genetics, but... y'know. It's not really the same.

Je ne sais pas.
Cannae wait for Uni though. =D

Ba Da Da Da Da Tuesday

So, new rule. No gatherings at mine any more.
Shame.
Mother's not impressed.

So sleepy. And have to go to the dentist soon.
See you on the flip side.

just passed the 69 blogs mark

I feel I know you all so much better now.

Tom, I'm with the more humans argument, more robots would mean cold and steely hugs.

So in reccent weeks I have become very troubled indeed over what to write in my blogs. No matter how I try to dress it up, my blogs are 99% recalling the weeks events and as much as I would love to rant about how pleased I am to see the back of this term, it makes for pretty poor reading. So whilst walking around chippenham with endless bundles of leaflets under my arm today I thought, what am I supposed to blog about this week? Life. No, that's boring. I know! Death!

So here it is:
Joshua Lunn's guide to DEATH.

The word 'death' is tossed about a lot. For instance: death metal is a genre of music in which everything there was to like about metal died horribly screaming into a microphone; the woman who stumbled on me at work the other night drunk and offered me her fertility could be said to look like death.

However, the Merriam-Webster's Science Dictionary describes death as:

"The irreversible cessation of all vital functions especially as indicated by permanent stoppage of the heart, respiration, and brain activity : the end of life"

Causes of death can be categorised simply into natural and unnatural. Natural causes of death may include age and/or cancer (among other things like I dunno, colds and stuff). Unnatural deaths may be caused by a train or bullet or poison or something else equally crazy. In the event of unnatural causes, people usually want somebody to blame for the death unless it was an accident made by the victim of said death, in which case what you gonna do?

Death has been personified in many cultures in many different ways. Contrary to popular belief, the grim reaper was not invented by the film 'scream' but instead comes from 'grimmir' - a name for Odin, the germanic folklore guise of death. Bloody Germans. In ancient Greece death was considered inevitable, and therefore he is not represented as purely evil, even as an bearded angel (if you like you can go to the temple of artemis to see Thanatos, the counterpart of death - which by the way I have), the Greeks showed death as male and life as female which is pretty sexist but whatever. What is interesting is the huge contrasts between attitudes toward death, for example Celtic folklore describes death as a skeleton with a scythe and carriage whilst Slavik folklore sees it as a woman in a white robe who puts humans to everlastng sleep with a touch of her green sprout (...yeh)

Which leads us nicely onto life after death. philosophy is a tricky and touchy subject, often a statement as simple as the quote from Merriam-Webster: 'death is the end of life' can be disputed. So I will put it like this: nobody can tell you what life is like after death. Sometimes the idea of nothing after death can be just as unfathomable as the concept of an afterlife and even under the afterlife umberella there are masses of religions and faiths trying to get the best spot to avoid the fire and brimstone raining from on high. Chrisitans will tell you you can avoid the void of godlessness by simply asking for forgiveness; Hinduism claims to a reincarnation process determined by Karma; Buddhism will argue that in order to get off this endless cycle of reincarnation one must free themselves from desire. My point is this: in all honesty, does it really matter? For now, this life is more important. Does that mean men are less important than women? The greeks have been wrong before.

I don't even know why I'm doing this

Next week I'm gonna be talking about rocks.

Bye

Up The Tuesday

Well Tom, swapping stories under the stars sure does sound tempting. But robots would be all cold and metallicy, no good for spooning.
So ima gonna choose humans.

Hmm. Reading lineup was announced.
Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse looking pretty tasty. £75 day ticket looking less so.
But Libertines reunion make me happy. =D
Having a listen to dear Barât and co. to celebrate.
(And yeah, I said Barât. I went there.)

Won an Easter egg in an English lesson, because I am that awesome.

Riffs tomorrow.
Work Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Worthing / Brighton Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Cardiff maybe Wednesday or Thursday.
Then back to work Friday, Saturday.

So. Shoop shoop. Shoop de lang a lang.

Out of the ordinary

well looks like i've decided to post a blog after all this time with a controvercial subject "The pros and cons of living in a world with more humans then robots". i'm going to make ten points for each side then you decide :)

So here we go!

More humans:

• We can laugh, live and love under our own free will
• partying wouldn't be the same with robots
• we can do things ourself manually
• we have souls!
• since when have robots been good at sports
• robots are really fucking boring to take photos of
• i don't know if robots can cook an awesome cake if i'm honest
• Robots can't make music with instruments (Very well anyway)
• where would you insert cock on robot?
• we were here first!

More robots:

• We could train them to steal cookies!
• they are really strong and buff!
• then can solve maths quicker so we wouldn't have to wait for ages if we were buying beer and someone bought a load of coins insted of notes!
• you can call them whatever you want, they won't understand :D
• you could stay up all night swapping storys under the stars, it'd always listen to you
• The terminator is eh pretty cool guy
• you could make them kill people!
• i'm sure they could make an apple pie from scratch
• hello? they're the masters of dancing the Robot
• they will recieve earth one day as a hand me down and will somehow correct how we've fucked up :3

Ladys and gents, the choice is yours. also enjoy this fact picture about robots :3

PEACE OUT YA'LL

Dear diary,

Today was pretty grey so I thought I'd mirror this in my breakfast of weatabix and water. I got very very very wet and didn't really talk to anybody until politics which was kinda quiet but kinda nice.
I went to the dentist today as well, it was my last check-up before I turn 18 so I got a sticker with a picture of mickey mouse saying I was a good boy at the dentist but it fell off whilst I was riding my bike back to college.
I got a cup of tea with Lilly and talked of old times, walked home in the rain, went out for a curry with some family friends (but without the family).
As I scrawl, I ponder on the political significance of Stalin's leadership and listen to bjork with pride and wait for the day all of this will be over and we can all just chill out for weeks and weeks and weeks to forget A levels even exist.

Your friend,
Joshua

PS. Going to see the houses of parliment yesterday was AWESOME - I could write a whole blog about it but I would only ruin it.

Tuesday Li.

Blergh.
Accidentally pressed Back and lost everything I'd written.

Sorry guys, you're just gonna have to imagine this week's blog.

Internet

No word of a lie, here are the top 10 websites I visit according to my internet...

I am unsure what to make of this, but I think it means I'm doing it right.

Soooo.... how is everyone?

my day: a blog by joshua lunn

Today was pretty okay i guess.
I went to college, did my thing, came home.
I'm totally sick of reading about Stalin now, I just want this week to be over. On the plus side though, when I've finished this blog I can turn off my internet and probably finish my coursework tonight.

I can't even tell you how much last weekend sucked out (except for the walk on saturday night).

Oh that reminds me, I have grave news.
I'm giving up alcohol for like 2 weeks, k? My pay always seems to end up in the wheatsheaf till by the end of the week and if I want to get 2000trees tickets, I'll have to wait another 2 weeks without spending anything to get it. I'm still coming out and everything, I'm just gonna be pretty boring. Sorry.

Still. Good News:

My amazon package came through yesterday full of goods I had forgotten I'd bought
NEAT
Also, I picked my university choices: Exeter and Reading.
RAD
Also, I got a violin! It needs a new G string (teehee) and a new bow but the college are going to pay for my lessons!
SWEET

Thats about it I guess.

Oh one more thing,
Tom and David: We have to go here

http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.586856,-1.805821&spn=0,359.999397&t=h&z=21&layer=c&cbll=51.586856,-1.805821&panoid=LpvNc_KIJayY_5hBSenExg&cbp=12,307,,0,13.91

Song Song Tuesday

Hahaha, last night.
What an amazing headfuck.

Sucks to be sleeping: TOM.

So, who knew Wheatsheaf had an organ?!?

Psh, I dunno what to say.
Had an epic Sunday with Miranda. Loved getting discounts on cheese because I'm 'Miranda's friend'. =D
And loved our innovative way of carrying a plant pot home.

Oh yeah, and thanks for the frape, got a message this morning from my dad saying something along the lines of "So... you're in a relationship. Do we need to talk?"

Aaanyway. Owen Pallett, 25th March, Cardiff.
Getting a lift with ma mere so three seats left in the car if anyone's interested.

Dunno what there's left to say.
Ordered many a Frank Turner album in readyness for 2000 Trees.
So far I only know the versions David plays, so would probs be best to get to know the real thing.
Also got a couple more Belle & Sebastian so I can listen and mourn.

Swear when we're actually there I won't mention Latitude once. But for now.

Hmm.
I never finish with a picture.
I'll see what I've got.

Wow, not much. I forgot I emptied My Pictures folder.
Sorry guyss.

blawg

I think next week I'm gunna do a proper real blog next week, everyone give me suggestions.
this week you get nothing.

lets do fun things soon

blargh

there i blogged.

Hey you guyyyys

Today was really rad, resluts were A in History and English and a B in politics.


Sweet

I'll be at work at wheaty tonight, Cath says you guys are coming up?
I know I've been really boring the past couple of weeks, sorry guys. My performance is Saturday morning and then I've got my history coursework to power through and my composition to do and I promise I'll be more fun. College totally sucks :/

Dunno what else to say, I'm really just love that it's basically spring - bike rides are on an all time high, anyone fancy it this saturday?

Anywho, off to make dinner, see you soon

Enjoy

Me and the Tuesday

Wow. Last week was kinda pathetic kids.
Shame.

Psh, I have nothing to say...
Umm, Uni. Heard from Edinburgh, accepted their offer - York as insurance. (y)
On Sunday went to the 'Diff, saw sister, father and grandmother. Went to Barry, stood on a peninsula and listened as both my father and nan rang various friends / relatives to confirm whether or not Barry Island was in fact an island.
Won a pink fish on the penny falls. Me and Krissy now share partial ownership of him - we've organised terms where he shall change hands every time we meet.
Was stuck on a train for bear time and have decided to re-evaluate my friends according to the speed and volume with which they replied to my texts.

Cath: Two phone calls.
Josh: 00:30:28 - 13
Connor: 00:30:33 - 10
Oonagh: 00:35:42 - 1
Will: 01:59:39 - 6
Becky: 10:34:19 - 2
George: 17:21:32 - 1

The rest of you are dead to me.
Apart from Tom, as I don't have your number.
So really David, it's just you. Sorry man.

Edit:
Oooh, and yesterday beat my high score on Pyramid Solitaire.
611496 points. =D

GARDENBLOG

Again, really sorry but I can't offer you a photo blog this week. I know, I suck, right?

Tom: Feels like I haven't seen you in days (that goes for you too David)
Cath: I told Sarah I'd wait till results to quit so I'll see you this afternoon

I have chosen not to. Instead I shall illustrate my post with photos taken by loganart.

This morning I had a dream.

And at one point I was flying across this field.

AND I'M REALLY BORED OF WRITING LIKE THIS.

On the way to college I killed a bird and ate its babies.

NOM NOM NOM

The end.

PEACE

Thursday's blog

Well, if Tom's gonna post his late I guess I will too :D
Long story short I was in lancishire seeing my racist grandma so I couldn't post.
Tuesday I went to oxford to see Nathan and totally pretended to be a mummy in the ashmolean museum and scared the crap out of this kid which was funny until his mum told me off and the museum curator told me I was being 'disrespectful' (I think he meant towards the egyptians but he didn't look egyptian so I didn't see what the fuss was) Basically i got no work done at all this week and have to sort my shit out tomorrow...

It was supposed to be a free house here tonight and I was gonna get you guys over here but my parents came back early :/, sorry.

This coming week I am enforcing photo blog week, if that's cool? Just to give us something to aim at

BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK
i got a second job
at the wheatsheaf
you can gasp now

My driving instructor keeps on telling me to go faster and faster and faster - he gets proper excited about it and every time I hit 50 I just think of that girl who diesd at 40 but's only permanently disfigured at 30. Then I have to slow down and he's like 'oh come on josh, you can go faster than that' - 'i don't want to kill the little girl' - 'what little girl?' - 'never mind, third exit here yeh?'

















Driving's scary stuff guys

Fridays Blog

I know its late but i'm always doing stuff on a friday night. Well what can i say, its been one hell of a half term and i'm so behind on work that i should have been doing :P. I think that the real highlight of this week must have been on Friday night.

I cycled all the way to Jo's house in the freezing cold night to watch some Die Hard. But tonights Die Hard would later be renamed to Die Hardon by me and Sarah. Throughtout the whole film we spent the whole time giggling, making rude references and laughing at unintended innuendos. Some of these included "Is that what you want or shall i fire another load?!" "The choppers are comming!" "ggraagghh urghghgh" and so forth. At one point Sarah thought of a most erotic opening line for a porn film "I've come to fix your drains". I mean theres nothing i like more then having someone come and look at my stinky smelly drains, gets me right hard. Other then that i had to cycle home again in the freezing cold with Kate. Oh and cheers Kate, i love it when you make me walk through the mud :D. other then that, i'm so not looking forward to going back to college.

also check out this poster i made for it :D

For Tuesday.

Old video may be old but nonetheless still the best kitten based video on YouTube and so say all of us.
What is this obsession with the new and the now?
Can't we take the time to enjoy again what we've enjoyed once before.
Ha.

Guess what losers - Sabby's in Swindon! =D =D =D
We bought chocolate, and went to Wyvern (plenty of Chris Addison tickets left), and went to my house, and made pasta, and went to the Wheaty, and went to Marmaris.
Fun times abound.

I only just got up, so probably it's time to pancake.
Yaya.

Oh yeah, and last night pub people convinced me to 2000 Trees instead of Latitude.
Alas I mourn for Latitude but 2000 Trees will have all of you guys plus more and shall be amazing.
So, yes. Y Not, 2000 Trees - Summer '10 is shaping up to be pretty epic.

And Bloggers Come Dine With Me will happen.

BLOGLBOPG{B

I wanted to do a proper blog but now I don't have time

so in tom's vain, poo

picture blog challenge thing next week i recon?

juliet i really liked your idea but it needs organising, also old video is old
cath why are you so gay?
josh they were pretty awesome words
tom get out of my life

LOVE

poo

poo

blog #47

Juliet, I can't help notice you didn't blog this week, for shame

Before I say anything I want to agree with David, a theme is needed this week. But Jubs, I can't do come dine with me as I'm going to be away most nights next week, when's good for anybody else?
THEMESUGGESTIONTIME
Astronaughts
Cereal
Sneezing
Summer
Mexicans
Bikes
Bullies
Giants
The dictionary

These are all really just words
But how about a photo blog? everybody has to write their blog with no words, only pictures. Be them doodles, photos or stuff taken from the internet. I'm easy

I am still up for this come dine with me thing but just not next week, sorry you guys

So yer, this week I've... joking



PS. I may have encouraged the stealing of the tumeric but at no point did I say 'Hey Cath, why don't you throw some curry spices in the birthday girl's face'!

Just saying

guess whos back back again, QUICK GUYS GET IN A CIRCLE

so long time no blog i hear rumours of a come dine with me style thingy, should be pretty awesome, not sure what to cook though........sandwiches anyone? So i keep listening to pulp again, happens biannually normally, should probably see someone about it. So I was challenged not to blog about politics by josh a while back which is a great loss to all of you since i had some very inciteful things to say about the iraq inquiry and majoritarial voting systems but there you go.
yeah so since i last blogged we went to beckys party and there were some really boring ridgeway kids there. I mean seriously its like they all gathered together and agreed to be as banile as humanly possible, but becky was there so it was awesome but then josh peer pressured me into a turmeric heist and it was all down hill from there, who knew spices would burn so. Then there was the other night which was quite cool although i mourn for my sleeping pattern, I dont understand how Molesterman was both a Thatcherite and a Frank Turner fan when we first met him. How does that happen, surely they are mutually exclusive, what genes in your brain make that possible? Did he sit at home while listening to campfire punkrock all the while dreaming of poll tax?!
So Im pretty much doing nothing atm....watching a bit of doctor who, all the cool kids are doing it. Should probably do my essay soon and maybe get this sunday off work.....soon

Tuesday Me Up

Whaaaat?!
I blogged last week, the week before last and now this week, so suck out if you're too [some insult or other] to notice.

Aaaanyway. Themes... well next week is half term so...
OMG I know! We could do Bloggers Come Dine With Me!
We each hold a dinner party on one day of half term and blog about the experience!
Oh yes, please please please!
It'll be epic.

As for life recently... psh I dunno.
Friday was good fun.
Sunday was my mum's birthday, dog ate one of the bars of soap from Lush we bought her and then vomited on my bed, due to this I am now sleeping on a mattress on the floor until I can be bothered to sort it out. (I've cleaned up the vomit - I just haven't got round to getting new bedding on the bed.)
Yesterday watched Red Dragon. Ralph Fiennes bit Philip Seymour Hoffman's mouth off then set him on fire. But it was all ok because Ed Norton stabbed him in the ass a bit later. (y)

So. Yah.

Here's the best kitten based video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8

Every worry that your blogs are innane and boring to read?

NOMENEITHER

Well Thomas, that was terribley heart warming, not gunna lie.

I think our blog weeks should have themes or something, I know this is an old boring idea but I figure y'all probs don't care what I did last wednesday... (Tom's house by the way, shit was so cash)

SO I challenge all of you to think of a theme for next week, because I dislike blogging about nothing and I'd like to have some form of structure.

Juliet and Cath, get out of my life.

Going to the pub later, I'm pretty excited

I DONT KNOW WE'VE ESTABLISHED I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS

BYE

Too busy partying this friday to blog so nows the time

i'm going to take you on a journey or hopfully try..


Life, the whole dancing, singing, cursing, destroying wonder of all time. How does one describe the euphoria that is so easy to shrug off and forget about when they are Surfing the net for videos, drinking copious amounts of brain shrinking alcohol or being in that one place they know they shouldn't be. But who said that we shouldn't be doing all the things that are frowned upon by others. Lets do these things and forget about the importance of life because its only when we are realising how beautiful life is, is when we should be partying, drinking or just making love.



Lets drink till we throw up because without boundrys we would be hopeless drinkers

Lets dance to that one song we like at a party, who cares if everyone thinks its embarressing, they're just jealous that you can enjoy life better

Lets hate on other people we hardly know because at the end of the day we are only human, Judgement is a wonder gift bestowed upon us

Lets eat as much junk food as we want, it tastes nice and makes us feel good about ourself

Lets forget about self consciousness, You are beautiful trust me

Lets do the things we are not told to do, Curiosity may have killed the cat but it sure as hell put man on the moon.

Lets fall asleep with eachother under the stars, nature's screensaver

Lets play all video games and with all consoles, people who hate other consoles are just jealous

Lets make friends with people we meet on the street, someday they could save your life

Lets turn down the lights and turn up the speakers

Lets live a messy life, We know where things are and thats all that matters

Lets do work when we feel like it

Lets always call the other option a better night, lets face it turning back time is impossible

Lets watch any programe on TV, it could actually be ok

Lets tidy this mess in the morning

Lets never complain about the season, you socialize in both winter and summer so quit your yabbing

Lets never be embarresed to ask a question, you only live once

Lets think about that person who we shouldn't, no one will know unless you say

Lets only tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth..sometimes

Lets hold hands, its not like we're having sex

Lets stop eating these chocolate santas, they're making me feel ill

Lets play chess and talk about life sometime

Lets remember the happy memories from our childhood, some of the best years of your life you can think about

Lets not haze other peoples views, unless they are fucking horrible

Lets do it

Lets laugh at what other people find funny, even if its not your cup of tea

Lets hate, but also Congratulate

Lets stereotype each other, not by age/sex/race but by how awesome they are

Lets be best friends forever

Lets not get depressed, there are people out there having a much worse day then us

Lets live days as if they were our last

But most importantly

Lets be best of friends forever

I'm Tom Foster, i love life and I love you guys :)

READTHISYOURLIFEWILLCHANGE

Hey everyone, it's been a while
This week was a bit of a mixed bag.

Jo's on saturday was really great especially after a full day at Earles.
I feel pretty good that I didn't ditch Becky on her birthday (except Jo's was awesome)

David, nerd jokes are fun but I wish i'd taken maths
Tom, good to have you back
Cath, blog much?

Sorry i wasn't at the wheaty last night, I didn't get back to swindon until 10 when my train was due in at 8. Apparently there was some horrific crash or something? I dunno. Plus it was cold. And i'm a loser.

Portsmouth is officially my insurance offer :D

I've been job hunting this week pretty much every day
I managed to give my nuber to every bar, resteraunt and pub in swindon.
It all started on tuesday....

Tuesday I got home and started getting dressed for this job interview at Nationwide. I figured smart-casual, right? Trousers and casual shirt - people love that.
Well, on the way out of the house I hear my mum shriek
-You're not wearing that to your interview are you?
-Well, that was the plan
-You have to wear a tie
-No, surely not
-Yes you do. And a smart shirt. And tuck it in. And that nice jacket you have
-Mum, they know I'm a teenager, it says so on the CV
-Wear smart clothes
-This is fine mum

Then she dropped the bombshell

'Wear a suit or you're not allowed out of the house'

Oh come on

So there I was, walking through town

In a suit

I have never sweat so much

I get to Nationwide 'Sorry I'm a bit early' - I was late
After a lot of debating over whether or not I was booked for an interview this woman realised it wasn't an interview I was after (they said interview on the phone) but an aptitude test.

So I'm lead to this room filled with teenagers filling out forms

And yes

There were jeans

There were tracksuits

There were jumpers

There were even T-shirts WITH WRITING ON

And some dickhead in a suit who must have thought this was a job interview or something

I'm given a form

'Five minutes'

Panic settles in, I look at the form - subheadings like 'visual test' 'numeracy test' and then the dreaded 'financial knowledge' throw me.

After the first few questions though I began to relax - who cares if I'm wearing a suit? At least I'm not the only one wearing jeans and everybody else is in a suit, right? I could have just been anywhere, talking to any amount of important reputable people, right? My mind had wondered, what's going on?! Oh, I'm finished. I hand the clipboard back to the woman.

Looking over her shoulders I saw ticks of approval as she skimmed my rushed answers:

tick

tick



tick
tick


pause

that wasn't good

she tapped at the clipboard
then everything fell apart, my soul started letting in wind, my throat collapsed on itself. I knew somehow that this was over

She somehow managed a smile

'Joshua, first of all, this is really good. A great description of a debit card. The dictionary couldn't have done better, the thing is, we were looking for the definition of credit card- you see there, it says credit card?'

'Ah yes, th- that does ss- say cred it card. I do kno- Ask me what a credit card is'

I'm sorry, but you'll have to come back in a couple of days

I was officially a nob - I was the smartest looking person in the room and I didn't even know the difference between a credit card and debit card!

I could see the evil mix of loathing, amusement and pity in her eyes

And then, in our most glorious moment,

When all eyes were on us

When the air was closer than it had ever been

After the magnificent climax of that horiffic afternoon


Right then and there

In the back room of the Nationwide Building Society







My nose began to bleed.

Everywhere

I'm in love with a German Tuesday.

Hmph. Was actually about to go to bed - new early nights plan - but remembered David said he'd eat me.
Soooo apparently I'm a poosk for not abandoning Becky on her birthday. Right?
For shame DavidTom.

Need to vacuum though it's past eleven and I feel the neighbours may kill themselves if I was to do so.

Hm. Checking my email.
3 New messages.
Spam, Joe Solmonese (HRC) and New College.

New College says University funding has been cut, University's less likely to be leninient if people don't make their offers - be realistic when selecting choices.
Joe Solmonese talking about campaigning for a US Congress repeal regarding the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' stance regarding sexuality - campaign currently backed by Obama.
And spam offering me great deals on 'all kinds of electrical products.'

My name's Juliet, and that was my inbox.
So glad you were there so share these precious moments.

TWO BLOGS IN TWO WEEKS

Two is a really weird way of spelling 2.

It's been a pretty mixed week, Wednesday and Thursday were pretty gay but then Friday and Saturday more than made up for them.
I'm SO pleased exams are over, I'm already behind on college work I should have been doing when I was revising but it's cool, I'm just going to ignore it for a while, I feel i deserve a break.

My weekend was awesome, Tom's/ Juliets's on fri, Jo's on sat :)
(anyone who went to becky's is a poosk.)


NERDJOKESNERDJOKESNERDJOKES

I very much enjoyed everyone's blogs this week guys, especially yours cath.

Josh I see no semicolon, also hurry up with your essay
Juliet it was actually Addition Polymerisation
Tom noice one.
Cath I hope you drown.

I'm super bored, I think one of y'all should finish working and we can go do fun stuff?
PLEASE?

kthxby

Paper trimings and wine bottle rimmings

well this week all the exams are over which is quality but now comes the dreaded last weekend for photography so here goes. Right at the moment is a mighty war between David, Connor, Oonagh and Juliet. there is mass drinking and red blooded war on a battlefield of shedecd paper comunism. I myself enjoy watcing and blogging whilst laughter is at an alltime high. The only dilemer is about the festivities tomorow night. Well an explosion of bloddy paper guts has flooded and duty calls for a clean up. Enjoy your night peeps :)

ITSSTILLTHURSDAY

Still counts
Just got back from the pub, well from Juliet's house but it's all the same to you. Juliet it feels like I haven't seen you in FOREVER

I'm glad all you guys have finished exams now, I was getting reallllly bored being the only one. I guess I should have filled my time with coursework or something but it was never going to be that easy.
I reckon if we all make Tom blog and if Cath just remembers once in a while then we could have something pretty sweet here. If not, there's always real life. Remember that?

Been job hunting this week cause I need some more money for living fees next year; handed in my CV at a lot of places and signed myself up witht his job agency which seems to want to do nothing but spam me instead of actually finding me a job. 'Why do you want to work in the cornish bakehouse' just became the hardest question I have ever been asked. Still, I got an interview at shakeaway so that's pretty awesome casue I could get paid for making milkshake all day.

Oh yer, spot the semi-colon

I had a pretty bad dream the other night where I got all my results from January and i got all Cs and no universities would take me so I had to work full time at Earles FOREVER.
I really don't wanna work at Earles forever you guys, I really don't.

Anyway, I'd love to stay and chat but it's almost friday and if i delay any longer the internet will just turn it's back on me and sulk 'no blogging for you' then none of you would be able to read my awesome blog.

So goodnight fair old internet land, rest now, I'll see you next week.

Polymers and Tuesday.

1a) Carboxylic acid and amine.
c)i) The dipolar ionic form of an amino acid in which the OH group in the carboxylic acid tail loses a H creating a negative charge and the amine group gains a H creating a positive charge. The two charges then cancel each other out producing no overall charge.
ii) Isoelectric point.

2a) Glutamic acid features a chiral carbon producing two steroisomers.
c)ii) Condensation reaction.
iii) Either acid or alkaline hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis requires a concentrated acid catalyst in a hot aqueous solution and is left for 24 hours, the products are in the positive ionic form. Alkaline hydrolysis uses NaOH as a reagent in hot aqueous solution at about 100C, the products are in the form of sodium salts.

3a) A carbon bonded to four different atoms or groups producing two steroisomers of the molecule.

4a) Condensation polymerisation.
b) Ester.

5b)i) The CONH amide linkage.
ii) It is includes two alternating monomers, one containing two carboxylic acid groups, the other two amine groups whereas a protein is made from amino acids - each containing one carboxylic group and one amine group.

6a) Prop-2-enoic acid.
b) Iodoethene.
c) Benzene 1,4-dioic acid and ethane-1,2-diamine.




Hi, my name is Juliet and I am revising chemistry.

So..... How is everyone?

SO HEY

I was like, it's 20 to 10 on a monday and I've finished revision, what should I do?

So yeah, it's been more than a month since I last blogged, sorry guys, I had uni stuff then christmas and shit and then I forgot and stuff.

It's only been a month and I only blogged probably 5 times before, but this feels weird.

Hopefully it'll get easier as I keep doing this.... totally..





yeah this is gay

SO HOW HAS EVERYONES MONTHS BEEN?
also how is everyones examming going, chemistry is redunk

Juliet and Josh thankyou for keeping the blog going
Cath I havn't seen you in TIME
Tom I bet you never read this.

Nothing else to say, here are some funny pictures I've ammased over the last month

Juliet I'll see you tomorrow

It's my turn

It feels really strange walking into an exam hall knowing that whatever the result it will have no bearing on my future whatsoever. I guess it's as close to running down the street naked as i'm ever going to get.

This week my Mum found my bank statement and now I have to give her £30 a week to go towards uni living fees casue I can't be trusted which makes sense but makes me feel ten years old.

Exams are totally stressing me out at the moment but it's all over next wednesday. I hear we're being decedant to celebrate?

This snow is pretty fantastic, I walked right out to the middle of lawns lake and jumped up and down just to prove how excited I was on Sunday.

And that's my week. Hope you liked it. I know I did

Suck my Tuesday

Hey, it's my day.

I have nothing to say as my entire life has been eclipsed by the one true video.
