I realised today that I worry too much about the future. I'm worried about whats going to happen next year when i'm no longer a student...I worry about my dissetation...And mostly..Im worried about the Alternative ball!
I've arranged a ball (pretty much singlehandedly) and everything was sorted..until the venue fecked me and now i no longer have a soundman or a PA system. Now i've got a mate who'll do it but hes based in Derby and i need a van or something to pick him up and bring him to Brumland on the 30th september. Its so bloody annoying, because as soon as i think im sorted, stuff screws up again. Ive got a fantastic outfit though....so at least i'll be a belle at my own ball (if it all goes ahead)!
Been so lonely over summer. Moved into my new student house - which is MASSIVE, but have been living there on my own since june. Bored bored bored. Luckily, everyone is coming back this weekend - but its still not soon enough for me. I've had a few mates around keeping me sane though. Been having tonnes of fun going to Ed's on a friday night... But now term time is starting up again, im probably going to be pretty funless. Also very very skint. I'm also worried that by the time i've finished my course, I'll be so drowning in debt that I will never ever ever be able to get a house. :(. Ah well...It's all about Karma I spose. I just gotta try and be good and play fair and I'll be lucky...I hope.
Alton Towers this weekend! My mate Julie's 21st, so shes paying(?!) for a whole bunch of us to go to the towers. Should be a bloody brilliant laugh and means catching up with my old clique...who i haven't seen in months. Also seeing my cousin Mike whos on leave from the Army and my wondiferous Aunty Sue who, no doubt, will give me tonnes of menthol cig's and will buy the beers. Yey!
Right...I had better get on with my organising bally stuff... Been nice to pour my heart out...

So...
No internet in the house at the mo and I can't use MSN at Uni - I'm not ignoring anyone, I swear! The New house is amazing. 7 bedrooms, 3 stories and only £50 a week! :) Its beautiful. The two lads (Paul and joel) aren't moving in till september, but me, cat and shell moved in straight away. We had an amazing housewarming where 20 people got through £40 worth of alchohol from Aldi in 2 hours...there was alot of drunkeness as per usual. I stayed sober...being the partly *snigger* "straight edged" individual I am.
NIN were fecking awesome. Saw them on friday at the academy. Thank god it wasn't saturday - we would have been kicked out of the venue due to a bomb scare, where the entirety of Birmingham city centre was evacuated. It was my bro's 18th on wednesday, so after we had gone to NIN, we took him to Eddies. Didn't think it would be his scene, but he was dancing the majority of the night (regardless of the fact we were all physically exhausted). Went to see War of the worlds on saturday...was actually really impressed. I like the fact it was more about how people were affected by it rather than just..oh my god...aliens... and i actually found it pretty scary too (yes I was a bit of a wuss).
Money situation is the worst ever. Had to increase my overdraught, again, and no sight of the hardship grant that student services were going to provide me with. Fucking uni! The only reason I stayed in Brum for summer was to do some work experience and I can't even afford the bus fare to get there! AGH! Seen some great jazz though...(working for the Birmingham international jazz festival). Went to see Kyle Eastwood and Hiromi...they were both really impresssive. Hopefully trying to wangle a longer placement with them as I really enjoyed the 3 weeks i worked for them. Going out for "thank you" drinks tonight, so hopefully I'll get a verdict.
Anyhoo...I had better start job huntin.
love to all,

I’m taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he’s taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I’m taking a ride
With my best friend
We’re flying high
We’re watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground
I’m taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I’m as safe as houses
As long as I remember who’s wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
Never let me down
See the stars they’re shining bright
Everything’s alright tonight

Hey there!
Well finally got up at 4am to go to kerrang to help my mate produce the national morning breakfast show...im so tired. But it was great...me and sarah had a great time. It all bodes well for my actual job interview with them next week :). Still waiting for a call from the "starbucks Birmingham International Jazz festival"..Theyre giving me some projects to cover...im only volunteering, but it should be good experience. I seriously need some cash though, down to my last £100 for all of summer and moving into my new place monday...will need some need kitchen equiptment and stuff. Need a frying pan and some other things like spatulas and stuff 0_o. Gah.
Phes been really good to me the last couple of weeks..ive been insanely jealous of the fact hes made friends with alot of my girly mates (he met them at download), but its something i have to deal with. Obviously I have trust issues. He has been to see me the last few weekends and is planning to come down for the next couple too :) bless him.
I have so much stuff to do...I have no drive to do it at the mo. still need to confirm bands for ball and sort out the bills for this house before moving on...agh...
Anyway, Im gonna get back to reading Penny Vincenzi (An Outrageous affair...its really good).

Got to get up at 4:15 tomorrow morn to get to kerrang to train..0_o as if ill really be awake then. well, had a groovy weekend with the "Separated at birth" sister, vix. Was all good, although me and phe have been having a rocky time and he was at download...i had visions of him meeting a rockier, prettier, skinnier chick and dumping me...silly really...Went to see him monday and we shared lots of snuggles. Back in Brumland now, as i say, training for kerrang tomoz, a liquid lunch and then a kip as i'll be at eddies on thursday i reckon. Might actually doll myself up for a change..if im not too tired that is. Got free beer tonight! student exhibition meant smoozing with peeps from the industry and free food and alcohol...plus the stuff that was left as the third years were desperate to get rid of the stuff. In other news, my blue cat outfit that i made for fancy dress was amazing. I was really pleased with the result - so thats officially groovy...
..not alot more to say really..
maybe i had better hit the hay...

Your Birthdate: March 12 |
Being born on the 12th day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.
The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.
There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, sometimes "couldn't care less" attitude.
You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression.
Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing.
You are energetic and always a good conversationalist.
You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters.
Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about.
You are affectionate and loving - but very sensitive.
You are subject to rapid ups and downs. |

Its all busy busy busy.
I'm attempting to do an essay today..but phe left and ive been in bed all morning sniffling and feeling sorry for myself..itll get done. it always does.
got a venue and some preliminary bands for the rocsoc ball which is pretty cool. its on 30th september at a posh uni building. so far we have 3 bands, a dj, a black and silver ballon arch...im yet to organise stuff like a photographer, free wine, buffet etc. It's going to be an amazing night.
Staying in Birmingham over summer, doing work placements at a jazz music agency and kerrang radio in Brum...but I'm going to be SOOO skint over summer and i'm worried about paying the bills in my house all on my own. Mum and Phe said they might be able to give me £50 quid or so if the going gets too tough... I need a weekend job - and then I'll be working 7 days a week...so much for a break.
Been working on my dissetation stuff and im doing something about the music industries star creation system from two conflicting agencies (Kerrang and Big Bear). Lots of reading needs to be done, but my lecturers are really keen on my title as its something new and different.
It'll be mine and phe's fourth anniversary this year, were planning to go to Alton Towers for the 31st October (our actual anniversary). Also, in exciting news, for both of our 21st Birthdays (theyre both in March 2006, 4 days apart) we might be going to Disneyland Florida...because on our 18th's we went to disney paris. Were looking into costs and saving and stuff.
Got two radio shows and an essay on a "new music venture" to do, as well as revising for an exam. Agh! So much work. Got to go and make a package on Salsa dancing...will be interesting, but im rubbish at Interviewing...gah.
Still doing occasional shift work at Aston Villa. Pulling pints isn't so bad when its for £6 an hour...and its keeping my Amazon buying habit intact lol. £45 for a days work isn't too bad...I just wish there was more work about.
Right..I gotta jump in the shower and start on my work. Its pub night tonight...
Loads of love n stuff,

Today I came up with a solid theory on the meaning of life.
(back story)
Last night I had a lucid dream, and then I went to see hitchhikers guide (which was exetremely amusing), but all in all I feel today that I know something that I didn't know yesterday...
Some of you may think I'm quite mad...but...
Have you ever noticed how everyone has different qualities, well, of course you have...but..have you ever thought about it really? I was sitting on the bus with two of my closest friends here at uni, example A. (joel) is probably the most intelligent and witty person i know, but has a distinct lack of social skills. Example B. (Tom) is probably the person i know with the most "people skills" and organisation that I know, but he lacks the heart to actually like or enjoy or feel anything. I started thinking of my other friends...I know people that are so so attractive, but have no common sense and people that are so lovable and friendly, but are so thick that its unbelievable. Your going to laugh now, I'm not up myself (I hope) but i thought about myself...I seem to attract people and have tonnes of heart, but not very much natural intelligence (I have to learn everything...I'm not one of these people who can sit an exam and get an A by simply not trying - I bet you all know people like that too). Are we all some kind of test? "No one is perfect", even if they seem perfect to us - because we are all imperfect we cant really judge. Is someone testing the best combination of skills and attributes? Because no one can be all of everything, because that would be a contradiction within itself - No one can be good at everything because to be good at one thing is to be bad at another thing. I'm not a violent person by nature (+++) BUT because of that, in a fight, I would lose hands down and probably end up rocking and crying in a ball (---). You see? Is something trying to test which are the best attributes in a person? because no one can be everything.
Maybe I really am mad.

Well, been in london for a week - would like to say it was relaxing, but it was really just tiring ^_^. Had a fantastic time though.... Want to go back as soon as money and uni permits. Saw some fantastic bands on saturday at strumpfest (hurricane party, renegade playboys, Thunder etc) n caught up with a bunch of mates. (There are some darn funny photos at www.freewebs.com/kornbaby - strumpfest 2005 link).
Finally caught up with the rest of the world and have read Dan Browns "The Davinci code" and "Angels and Demons". Must remember to watch prog on davinci code tonight on Channel 4. Anyhow, they were most amazing...un-put-down-able.... I advise anyone who hasn't read them to do it NOW! (they are on sale in the works - a bargain at four pounds each).
Also got my Stand Alone Complex soundtrack cd today. WAHHHHHHH! Yokko Kanno is amazing. (for a taste of Yokko Kanno's stand alone complex album try a song called inner universe which is simply....Beautiful).
Anyhow, just a quick update - im alive and kicking.

Hey again kids!
Well i had a much deserved break at home and got to see everyone (cept van) at least once. Was good catching up, many fun times were had. Christmas was excellent as i got to see my cousins who i haven't seen for 2 years! Man they've grown up :) and i got to spend time with my second family (phe's family) who were ace. New year was great, had a house party back here in brum with some mates. we all dressed formal and played games and stuff... was an awesome night except i had to leave early as i was working new years day. boo :(. it was alright though, my last weekend on my christmas temp contract so i am now jobless until i have time to find a new one. Got too much on in jan though, going to london and exams and stuff...so ill just wait and see what comes up. got some brilliant albums lately, the new faint album, felix da housecat (devin dazzle and the neon fever) and the best of lamb, all of which are top class. The lamb album is so haunting... i kept seeing my own death while listening to it (subliminal messages?!). Im off down the pub tonight to catch up with some uni mates. Im not planning to drink too much, but i have been smoking ALOT recently and i think thats probably where all my money is going.
I have planned a purchase for my last paycheck, some gorgeous black and red swear boots...i want them so much but im gonna have to wait until friday. I think i can wait that long - will power. Right, i gotta make some food - turkey stir fry with pepper, brocolli, mushrooms and carrots with hoi sing and garlic sauce *salavates*. It will be so nice...i can practically taste the goodness.
hope everyone has a fantastic 2005 and at least some of your dreams come true ^_^
love ashinka

Thought it was about time for an update.
Im going home on sunday - couldn't be more excited. Van, Gem, Linds, Carly... Everyone better free up some time to go out. Anyone feel like a drink on xmas eve up the Dove?
Well my month has been fun and eventful *yawn*. I have been crouched over my laptop, literally every spare minute i have had to get my projects done for tomorrow. Going to record my voices for my commercials in a minute - that should be fun. My voice actors haven't even seen the script yet *evil cackle*. I;m so fed up with uni 5 days a week and then work at the weekend, itll be so nice to spend some time with my friends, family and lover back home. Having my washing and cooking done for me is going to be such a luxery...and NO BILLS TO PAY! Woooot!
Been getting shit hot marks on my assignments though, im pretty sure my popular radio tutor thinks im the new messiah lol. He's been raving about my essay for a couple of weeks now, so thats all good. Went out with my rock society last night for the first time in ages - christmas party. We had a blast. Got the downstairs room in our fave pub for free with tonnes of food and our own private bar. It was manic! so many of my mates turned up and all of the rockers are luverly (N:B Must bring pictures home of me dressed as a nun on halloween - much hillarity is insured). Right anyhow, im wasting precious studio time so i better scoot - No rest for the wicked >:D. |

I thought it about time that i add a little update.
Well Im a bit...meh..at the moment, a bit depressed. Just got too much on my plate. Uni all week and work all weekend - can't win really :(. Looking forward to my christmas hols, seeing all my mates and getting a chance to chill out. I work in a music shop called music zone at the moment, the money's shit, but its a good laugh and i get discount on cd's and dvd's - not to be sniffed at. Still with the phelan, but we had a massive argument yesterday, so we gotta talk about directions and what we want and all that kinda crap and stuff.... A bit sad, but once we talk it over,I'm sure it will be fine.
Wen't to Kerrang radio last night, me and my mate were Kerrang, Sluts - Kinda funny really considering were both not slutty at all (although you wouldn't have believed it if u had heard it. Right..Im gonna go and get dressed because I just got up.
-Peace Out dudes.

Right well....
I got a job that I thought was waitressing, but turned out to be cleaning. Cleaning isn't so bad, its just that i wanted more hours than just 2 a week 0_o. I need more than that. My overdraught is getting on top of me and I dont even know if i am going to be able to afford my bills in my new house, let alone anything else. It sucks :P.
At the moment I am trying to find cheap ways to pass the time...On a good note, I must have read over 25 books this month - so i cant say i have been completely wasting my time.
My dad told me i was getting fat today - thanks dad. I am actually very comfortable with my weight at present, but obviously I am too big to be part of my family unit. Ahhh well. Im planning on not eating when i get to uni anyway, cant afford to at any rate.
Ummm...Well, completed my work experience hours, which is great. Means smooth sailing of my first year of uni. Passed with flying colours - woohoo.
Rents going to Ireland for a week starting tomorrow, meaning I have a free house. Am planning a dvd get-to-gether night at mine on wednesday 25th, just hope most of my mates can make it. Should be a giggle.
Really suprised myself this week by liking a chart single. It must be the first time in years. The new Keane song - Bedshaped. Gives me such a spinal shiver whenever I hear it, and the video is great, just like Tim Burton. Also had another find, on the clothes front. The willen hospice shop in Stony Stratford is fab for finding odd's and sods. Got a great suit jacket and an Edward scissorhands picture frame - a prezzie for phelan when i get round to putting a pic in it.
Got my tickets now for both Gary Numan and (for a bit of a giggle) Mortiis - thanks sammy. Am looking forward to those gigs, will cheer me up when Im away from friends family and boyfriend again.
Right, well, off to dinner i go. But i wont be eating too much -coz im too fat, obviously 0_o.
