| Well, its been a hectic coupla weeks recently. Got my results from my modules, all ok, passed them, that was a nice relief.
Anna came down, the week before last, was wikid, unfortunately the night we went out was monday and it was Vodbull at Volts. Not the best place in the world, but i guess the attraction is the cheap drinks. It was great to have her down with me.
I have a house for next year which is great, thats another weight off my mind, although i dont want to have to do that again for a while, very stressful.
Saw Nick on thursday at warehouse, he was smacked off his tits after the 3 legged pub crawl, but good to see him again.
On the skydiving front, I did my refresher course so i can now throw myself out of a plane again, but lets hope the weather improves so i can actually jump cos this is getting really annoying.
Its been really hectic, most of the things ive done i cant remember, maybe i should lay off the drink, hmmm........maybe not.
But the task ahead is even more daunting, I stupidly signed myself up for a half marathon in the summer, for charity i might add. So i must start training asap. Its quite lazy really as the gym is only 5 mins from my room. Ah well.
Also lately, I have been watching too much of the O.C., what a show, some say im now addicted but i u cant help urself until yyou admit that you have a problem...and i dont. In actual fact I may go watch some now.
Bit of a random disjointed entry but i my memory is patchy so itll do.
Hope everyones well. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| Well, I am about to make my fabulous return to LJ……………….
There it was, those who missed it….well I don’t care im not doing it again. So its been a while. Soooooooooooo much has happened, but ill start from last week. Well, badminton on mon and tues, were I wore my badge and my clothes in white, and was astounded by the amount of Koreans and chineses ppl there were and how shit they made me look. Ah well.
On Thursday off to ‘walkabout’ with the guys from my corridor (we’re not gay), where the snakebites were being tipped away for a mere £1.50. Then onto warehouse where the shots were going down, £1 a shot, nice. Then finish the night with some chips from ‘India Gate,’ I prefer a flan really……..
Lots of weekend fun, attempting to skydive but not cos the weather was so shite. Then back to Monday, and badminton again, same for Tuesday. That leads me to today with only 2 days before I go home J and only 2 days before my mid-terms. Shit!!!! Ah well what you reap is what you sow.
Oh yeh and another shitty day where I could have been skydiving but the weather was against us.
I was thinking of taking up pole dancing as a career, I heard there is quite a bit of money in this profession. If anyone would like to see me try then ill be at ‘warehouse’ (a ‘club’ in Exeter) for one night only so book your seats as they are selling like hotcakes.
Well, looks like that’s it really, how boring is that. Never mind, it was a valiant attempt I’d say………well not really actually.
Wait……….I think I heard a shot…..

| WOW!!! Its been such a long time since the last update, so much to talk about, although I cant really be bothered to write it all down.
Needless to say Newquay was great, soooo much fun. Here are some of my best bits of the week.
Playing Fent6 and attempting to play 'Buzz Fizz,' i say attempting as some of us couldnt get the hang of it very easily. I didnt do much clubbing, in my time there (its way too energetic and tiring) but i thought id go the whole way and get up on the podium, with my homeys (ie Wilko) in the crowd bouncing wid me, riding da riddums. Although im sure everyone else thought i was a bit wierd. The cooking was very good (my thanks especially go to Anna and Emma). Then of course there was the Haribo challenge in the car on the way down, me and carly managed a whopping 20 haribo each, whole in our mouths, the sugar high afterwards was AMAZING, forget drugs go for the HARIBO!!!! Possibly the funniest thing was seeing Nick in one of Lucy's miniskirts (it actually quite suited him), although what he was hiding under there was all too clear!!!! Of course the zoo must be mentioned, how cool was that! Being buried in the sand, not my usual leisure activity of choice but fun nevertheless, the photos were stunning.
There is so much more i could mention that i have either forgotten, or simply i amjust getting bored writing.
Then the Reading festival, that was so cool, it stank of shit but the music was cool. The best act by far was Morrissey, although the Ordinary Boys were good too. If you have read Wilkos journal, you will see the convo with the 'Ticket Man' aka Asshole (said in a Terminator accent), i could have killed him....what?...What? i cant hear you was that a ticket to Maidenhead.... TO READING YOU TWAT!!!!!
Then Annas on sunday which was good, as always, had a lovely chinese, i have learnt one thing though, chesham park is quite eerie at night. Then aquiring one hell of a cold and cough (from Wilko i'll bet!).
Back to work today and hell it was. Nuff sed.
Well thats it.

| A fantabulous day of doing not much, as I didnt have to work!!! Rock on!!! Went into Watford with Anna, which was cool, later on I went round to Nicks house for a jam which was also good, and after trying many variations on the Postman Pat theme, I left Nick to his web designing and am now sitting here writing my journal, not a very interesting one at that...
I am muchly tired but, hopefully ill be able to pop and buy me nice new amp to play with...YAY!!!!! I like spending money. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Time for another update, once upon a time there was a boy called Pete, he visited a mystical island that was really really long. They also sold really cheap cocktails. He had a real blast but eventually had to depart and sail away to another land far far away called Bucks.
After taking part in a so called 'Girly Night,' I am going to go to sleep, I am so honoured and priveleged to have been a part of something so......prestigious. All you blokes out there who have never been to a girly night, you dont want to!!!! No it wasnt that bad, quite interesting really.
Tomorrow is looking up...NO WORK!!!!!! yay. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well now...where was I...ah yes, Sunday afternoon, a spiffing barbie at nicks, no mould this time thankfully (im never gonna forget that Nick), although being struck on the neck by a 'missile' was less than impressive. Good food, good company, although I was taken to new heights of scaredness that night.
Working on Monday, that was a nightmare, i just couldnt be bothered. Still a pheasant trip in the evening, nice to see Wilko there, although something was missing.
Tuesday, work - no comment. The quiz was as disastrous as usual, nevermind i think ive given up trying as i cant answer any of the questions. Its good fun though. Not sure that I like the worrying trend of team names, yet another one was dedicated to something to do with my name, although not directly Jac certainly didnt fail to come up with some that were quite blatantly linked. Nevermind, im sure that its just a passing phase and sooner or later we will get back to naming it with random names again. (Team name: Oh, for petes sake!)
Maybe thats another list for wilko to start, names for teams that involve my name, actually no lets not!!!!!!
It was good fun however, and definitely picked up later on. Im trying in vain it seems to get Friday off and that would be cool, cos i need a holiday!
Stay cool, | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Well, its sunday...work tomorrow, that really sucks, nevermind. This week has been a good one, slowly getting better and better and better. Friday at Dunks was good, it was nice to see dunk and emma again as they have been away for quite a while. I was shocked to see that Nadia won BB, it should have been Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still, what can you do. Bo Selecta!
Love the new car, Nick, good catch. Saturday was also good, although long island were being real bastards. Nevermind, it ended up being a good night, and after freshening up am now almost recovering from the hangover my head seemed to find overnight.
Well Ill c u all very soon I should imagine,
Pete | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Got drunk, feelin sick.
I was voting for Jason.
Long Island are a complete set of bastards! No training shoes my arse. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well work actually wasnt that bad today. It was boring yes, but....oh and it was tedious and busy, but good. Well im quite looking forward to the pheasant tonight, Im feeling like i have more energy to do stuff. Get some top class pool playing action in there.
Cool, well I was reading comments on the quiz, and this worrying trend of team names that have my name in it is disturbing me greatly, apart from the fact that it seems to make us do worse and really probably isnt funny to anyone else except our team who would be the only ones to get it.
Still, what can I do. But wasnt it a hard quiz tho!!!!! Maybe we should try an easier one??? I can hear it now, the deafening cries of, 'its not that hard,' 'but its nice at the packhorse' and 'its only hard because you cant answer the questions.' Well, thats right I cant, but I love that quiz dearly and anyone who speaks a word against it will have me to deal with!!!!!
Wow! How random was that eh???? Totally!!!! Well BB eviction tonight, 'Who goes? You Decide!!' I reckon the wierd one should be thrown out...oh wait they are all weird. I think it was a mistake to take Victor out, he was by far the best and what did they think they were doing when they put those people in there!! Its like a zoo really, they should let people come in and look around, like a real zoo with animals, but with people.
Now that was random. Anyway enough verbal diaroea.....or however you spell it.
I expect to see you all at the pheasant tonite!
Seriously tho, Jason/Stuart to win!!!!!!

| Well, I agree we do really suck at the quiz, still not that I actually contributed anything, or indeed have contributed anything for the entire time we have been doing it. Was good fun tonight, although my evening was hampered by yet another pass plus lesson. Still, its all over now and I can get cheap insurance.
Well work officially sucks, as well as being a emotional outlet for my confused collegues, they are changing my job roll once again, back to what it was originally!!!! Bastards. Well I'll show them, I'll give them a piece of my mind...no wait, I need all of that I can get.
Well work tomorrow does not offer any prospect of hope, however the end of the week promises to be bright, sunny and full of excitement. I can't wait.

| Well after feeling pretty apauling on Sunday and even managing a trip to Bekonscot (it was worth it for my badge, 60p can you believe it thats daylight robbery and robbery of those wee sprouts that seem to enjoy it so much, i expect wilko or nick to have a word to the management!), then off to Carly's for a bit.
However, today, back to work and it wasnt good, well i feel really happy :) but not about work, work sucks. After suffering 8 hours of the same mind-numbing work, you begin to go quietly insane, which isnt helped by the fact that i am stuck in a boiling hot office overheating beyond repair.
Still another day another dollar, and the 'unplanned' 'sick' day didnt happen, never mind.
I must comment on this list that Wilko has going, 82 bands with numbers in the title, thats impressive, proper bo i tell thee. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well, after completing a shattering week of well over 40 hours its finally the weekend (not that I dont get paid hansomely for it!!!)
Friday night was good, got a little bit tipsy(well theres no change there) and I think I have finally made up my mind on some things that have been weighing on my mind - indecision is the key to flexibility I always say, but then that is not always a good thing, it can give people the wrong impression.
Felt a bit rough on Saturday, still had a nice lunch out with a good friend who is off on his travels soon. Then to wycombe in the evening. Its not bad really, its proper Bo, I tell thee! The Falcon is nice, very cheap too. It was a fun night, especially finishing off with a nice footlong steak and cheese baguette from the shop known as 'subway,' although thankfully not full of tramps and buskers. Finishing with various impressions from the hit TV series 'Bo Selecta!' and some antics with a shopping trolley, which was stolen off a very drink woman - I'm looking at you Nick and Carly. Was fun though.
This morning unfortunately pass plus was on so that was an earlier morning than I had expected, I will be glad when that is over!!! Trying to sound vaguely interested whilst listening to my driving instructor harping on about how diesel fuel is just as slippery as ice, and how to stay calm when some idiot trys to cut you up whilst going round the brunel roundabout - complete set of bastards ye. Still things are picking up with prosect of rocking to the likes of AC/DC and other such gods of rock - what a sad life I lead.
An uneventful day ahead, still theres always the prospect of next week eh...still there is Newquay to look forward to, yay!!!
