New Blogger, Uni, Dishonest friends, the usual stuff - Personal Post

Wow, Blogger has a new look (behind the scenes anyway!) Good stuff! To celebrate I've chosen one of their new templates for my blog and I like it! :D The only annoying thing was I paid the £6 registration fee to Haloscan so I can have their 'deluxe' comment package and what do Blogger go and do? Only introduce a comments feature! :P Ain't that the way life goes?! Grrrr! Still, it's not that bad, Blogger still can't do Trackback so I'll be keeping my Haloscan comments for the forseeable future.

Oh, from now on (and I'm going to go back and edit previous posts) I'm going to put the catagories of posts in the subject line. I haven't worked out my catorgories yet but they will probably be: Personal, TV, Film, Book and Misc. That way you can do a 'find' in your browser to get to the catagory you fancy reading. It's not perfect but I think it's a good idea.


Handed in my 3,800 word essay today and did my presentation. The presentation wasn't as good as I'd wanted it to be, it's because I didn't give myself rough notes or anything. I was relying on talking about the OHPs. I don't think I did too well, my essay should do better though. Oh and congratulations are due to one of my friends who got an 'A' grade on her dissertation. Coolness. I daren't e-mail my tutor to find out my grade, I'll wait until they are moderated and published. If I had failed I would know by now I'm sure so that's all I care about.

Congratulations ARE NOT due to L. who is going out with Stez tonight or tomorrow (probably tomorrow as she's got her essay to do). Why am I not congratulating her? Partly because I'm bitter and jealous, she rejected me because I wasn't a Christian but my friend Stez isn't either. As a matter of fact, I've got a higher opinion of Christianity then he has (he has used the phrase 'load of crap' in this context before). Not only that but me and L. have got WAY more in common than L. and Stez. No, what's annoying and hurtful is that Liz (sod it, I'll post their names, they aren't gonna read this) and Grace and Dave and Stez all conspired to keep this from me. They were even going to lie to me if the conversation came up. And these are supposed to be my friends. They'll say "It's because you might get hurt that we didn't want to tell you." Well I get a lot more hurt by 4 of my friends lying to me. The only reason I know is that my one true friend in all this, Rosie, told me that she'd been 'told' not to tell me. But that was this morning, she told me about Liz and Stez last night!

Still, if they want to have their little soap-opera-esque lives and leave me and Rosie out of it that's fine with me and Rosie (we've had this discussion). But I bet you Liz'll want a shoulder to cry on if it goes wrong and for the sake of my sanity I'll have to say no.

Anyways, I've taken the afternoon of from Uni work, sent my Auntie a "Congrats on your new house" card now I'm going to either read my book or watch the two eps of CSI that I'm behind on. Hmmm, choices choices.

It's funny, despite my rant about I'm still kind-of happy. It may not sound that way in the post but I am. It's good-riddance to bad rubbish. I don't like being lied to. I have had a bad childhood in that regard, mistrust was flowing around my house in the air so now I'm 'growed-up' I want to trust my friends. It REALLY annoys me that they'd lie to me. I have no patience at all with dishonesty. None at all.

Right'o. Got another post in mind for later (getting things of my chest kind of thing) but this will do for now!
