Yeah.”

Twitter Lists?
What’s all this nonsense?
There are these two girls off the new team at work who have this ridiculously huge (and obvious) crush on our manager. They’re only in from 5-8, so I get to spend about 45 minutes with them, but it’s fucking hilarious. All of our group (now just Dan, Paul, Iain and I) have commented on it.. and Paul could tell before we even mentioned it. On Thursday they brought him in a box of...
Ughhh?
I went to hang out on a filmset last night (a guy we know, Miles, is shooting an independent film at the moment. It was pretty cool to see all the technical shit they had, all the lights, cameras, screens.. but yeah) and one of the actors was quite a cute New Zealander. We were chatting for a bit, and then decided on becoming facebook friends, as you do.
I get home and had a message from him,...

Two minutes ago, I didn’t have the cute rowers shirt in my house. Now I do. Weirdest thing ever. Sitting here, trying to find something good to watch on the tv, and I get a phone call. ‘I’m just around the corner from you. Can I drop off a shirt?’
‘Uhhhh.. sure. Call me when you get here.’
Literally about a minute later, he calls. He’s never actually...

Updates.
I don’t know what to say.. I haven’t written much of actual substance lately.
Brooke goes home in 7 days. I don’t know how I feel about that. Simultanously relieved and upset, I think.
I’m trying to decide when I want to head home. I can’t decide. Every ounce of my being wants to be home, yet a huge chunk of me doesn’t want to leave the UK so soon.

Me: I'm hungry. What do I feel like eating?
Iain: Ooh, cravings, huh?
Me: What on earth are you suggesting?
Iain: Well you weren't feeling too good this morning...
Me: Hahahah.... oh god.
Iain: Ashleigh, you know if anything like that were to happen, as your friend, I'd be here...
Me: Nawwww.
Iain: ... to throw you down a big flight of stairs.
Me: :|
Iain: >:D
Iain: Or hit you really hard with a baseball bat.

In love with this song.

Yes. And shit yes.
It’s all moody and full of acoustic goodness.
Go to We Are Hunted and listen to them.
I need this album.

It may not be Reading & Leeds, but thoughts of Big Day Out will keep me going for the rest of the year.
Leeds did not stand up to any of my memories of Australian festivals. I need the heat, the dust, the sun, and the sunburn.

The sun is set ~4.40pm all week.
Seriously. It was in 24 hour time - I double checked about 6 times. 4.40. pm. I’ll still be at bloody work when the sun sets. Which wouldn’t bother me if I was still doing lates at BP, but no, I’m in a normal 9-5 office job.
4.40pm.
This gives about 9 hours of sunlight.
Winter is going to be shit.

And it was too sugary, now I feel ill.
Oh who cares, it was so tasty.

I wish I had more postcards right now.
I was having fun. Want a postcard? Seriously. I’ll send you one, whether we’re friends from the real world or friends on the internet or we’ve never had any interaction. I’m trying to save money by not going out, I need something to occupy my time.
Postcards to strangers sounds like fun.

I walked home with the guy from my office who looks ridiculously like Stuart tonight. The resemblance is sort of weird. But restricted to looks only. Longish hair and facial hair. Gabe is seems a little bit introverted. Not in a bad way, in the way that makes you want to know more.
When I told him he looked like a guy from back home, he told me he gets that a lot. Apparently one time, in broad...

it’s funny that a lot of the people I know in real life are joining tumblr now. it’s so weird to the think that I’ve been doing this for so long. it’s weird to think that I got my tumblr before it was popular to have a tumblr.

Me: I really want you to watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. It's so funny.
Brooke: Yeah, I really want to watch that when I'm not in major tired mode.
Me: Wait. When did we watch that?!
Brooke: You know, when Chris and Jonic came back here after town, and we were watching it, and I went to bed.
Me: ......... *epic fits of laughter*
Does anyone know how long my TER is valid for?
I finished year 12 in 2007, and am looking at enrolling for the mid-year courses in 2010. I haven’t done any sort of study since I finished in 2007 - would I need to sit the adult entry exam?
Also, if you could tell me WHAT to study, that would be great, because at the moment I haven’t the slightest clue.

we got delayed at heathrow last time we came home - and I’m fairly sure we got a lot more than that. I remember just buying LOADS of chocolate and lollies with it. Although, I was 11, so perhaps my memory is a little skewed.. but...
