This time last year, I was sitting on a train with Janni, on the way to Oulu, and from there onto Utajärvi. It dawned on me yesterday when I was having my lunch, and I almost dropped my fork in shock. I mean, a whole year o.O It's terrifying, how fast time has passed since then.
I tend to use my trip to Utajärvi as some kind of benchmark- mainly because of the amount of Snow that there was when we got off the train, and because it was...well, the snow was a big thing for me :D And it was the first time that I spent time with people of a similar age to mine- something which is quite difficult when you're working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week with children whose sole intention it is, to tire you out ^-^

But that was a year ago.
Now, I'm at Uni, doing a degree in MFL/TEFL, and it's thrown me somewhat. I feel totally at a loss to really describe how I feel. Damn. So, what's happened? Good question.
Last night, I went to a gig with Mark and Mike, and we saw James there. Didn't speak to him, and I'm told he left early. The first two bands were pretty god awful, one band was from Canada, and reminded me of Jann Wilde and Rose Avenue on Acid. And the other band...my god. Made no sense whatsoever, and were so crap it was funny.
The 3rd band though, were bloody good!! They had all the traditional features of a rock band, but they were even better, in that they had also a glockenspiel and a violin, which added lots of texture to the music, and made for a bloody good show!
The venue was a converted church, and it was bloody amazing. Reminded me a tiny bit of Klubi with regards to the architecture. It had quite a nice atmosphere there ^-^

So yeah, after the gig, we went to a pub in town, where all Mike and Mark's 6th form friends were hanging out. Fortunately, one fo the guys who lives on the 5th floor was there too, so I was chatting to him about everything. I quite like him, he's a nice person to chat to.

But Mike and I wanted to go home, get early nights. He had German this morning *lmmfao* and I had just the urge to sleep. I woke up early, 'cause I forgot to disable my alarm clock, but I squeezed in a couple of hours extra kip time :D So that was good.

Now wasting time until my German lesson. I haven't bothered with doing my homework yet, so that'll be a rushjob in the next hour -__-

I've got a feeling that this is gonna be a really long, crap, day :(

It's funny... I've lost count of the number of times that I've said "Oh, I wouldn't kick him out of bed on a cold night!"...but I did exactly that, to the one person I want more than I've ever wanted someone else.

He wanted to stay in my bed. With me. Nothing dodgy, I don't think, but just the fact that he wanted to stay. It totally threw me off track. :-/

Nonii....

It's late at night, and everyone's in bed...you know then, what that means: hang out 1 on 1 time :-/
The majority of the flat went into town tonight with the intention of getting drunk. They achieved it, although not by following their original plan.
Pav, Jonny and I stayed at home, with the idea of working but no...
We were talking about the blossoming friendship of mine, and then she commented about how someone was Jealous. Oh dear. She's adamant that he is, and that he does like me. I wonder, whether he's said something to her or not?

So just after midnight, they came back, pissed off their skulls. Jade was angry. She's not a happy drunk, but she made a bloody good point about the passing-the-buck and laziness that is turning the flat into one big hellhole. Honestly, the state of the kitchen in the morning is abominable.

But yeah, she went to bed, and slowly the numbers dwindled. Then there was two. And we were just chatting, how we do, late at night, on our own.
Turns out that my night out on Thursday evening shan't be alone- he's also going there, but with different people....so yeah.
And out came the Term Planner with all the essential info on it. And the conversation somehow ended up on Last Saturday, I commented about how my arms kinda hurt. He gave me a funny look and asked for an explanation. So I told him about how we were dancing, and how he was too strong for me.

He didn't remember any of it. o.O I thought it best not to mention that he almost kissed me.

Especially when, consequently, he called me one of his best friends <3 <3 <3

I guess that I'm just gonna have to get used to it, that I'm *not* gonna get him in the way I want :-/ and that again it's gonna end up dealing with whatever girlfriend troubles he has.

Let's dance to Joy Division
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong,
But we're so happy
Let's dance to Joy Division,
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're just so happy, yeah we're so happy,

<3 Absolutely loving that song at the moment!! First heard it last....Monday? Night when I went and hung out with the boys in Luke's room. And heard it again on Saturday night at the Club, and it's been stuck in my head ever since!! I really like it XD
Yeaaaaaaaah.....

Mark and I sent way over 100 texts yesterday. It's obscene. Really really bad. The worst thing is, that it was about nothing! Oh dear.
As usual, in the evening The Unholy Trinity, that is- Pav, James and I, went to Top Bar for a quick drinky. It was ok, conversation wasn't overly stimulating, but it never is on a Sunday evening X) My phone was in overdrive, going nuts every 2 minutes X) And guess what?!

*Someone* was looking at my phone, and their face falling every time that they saw the name on the screen. When Lazu text me, it was ok though ^-^

It's mean, I know it's so mean, but I *want* Jay....and if this makes him get his arse into gear and say something, then I'm gonna carry on doing this.... I want to provoke him. It's terrible, and not something a friend should do, but yeah.... Simon may come down for a while soon, and so I anticipate that the shitwill hit the fan on that XD

England lost the Rugby World Cup to South Africa yesterday! Idiots.

As usual, the extended family (ie, our Flat and their friends) filled the kitchen to watch the match on a tiny portable TV. We got off to a cracking start, when Luke opened the fridge, and the milk fell out and exploded onto the floor. Then things in the match started going wrong. The boys, bless them, got VERY angry, no doubt fuelled by the copious amounts of beer being consumed :D
But I was introduced to one of Mike's friends, Mark. He went to the school I've taught at, so we had some common ground....

And I admit, I'd been feeling a little venomous due to *somebody* ignoring me whenever our flatmates are nearby.

But I really got on well with Mark. I can't help it. But after the game ended disastrously, we ended up with everyone else in the SU bar. Jay was still ignoring me, so yeah. His problem. And then Mark came over to me, and we started chatting...

....and continued chatting....

....and chatting some more.

Meanwhile, I snuck a few glances at Jay and he was looking rather fucked off with us. So I smiled and waved at him, and he waved back, but gave me a look of venom. Damn. Then things hotted up, when Sean and Luke started kissing each other, and acting in a very couply way!!!! Cue much laughing and loudness.
Anyway....our group moved on from the SU-Bar onto Mondos, where it was rock night.

Finally!!After being subjected to R&B for the last month, I think that the evening of rock and roll debauchery was well earned. I rocked my arse off alongside the boys :) Then the girls and a couple of the guys left and went home, which was a shame, but inevitable. We went from there, into the next room, and I continued chatting with Mark, the noise level meaning we had to stand close together at most times....
Then, he moved away, and Jay came over, took my hands and we started dancing. Properly dancing. I nearly died of shock and kinda clammed up on him....and that's when he tried to kiss me. I turned away to stop him (he'd been drinking), and he didn't try again. But joo.... we then went our separate ways, and I left with Mark, to find Mike who was outside.

We decided, to go back to my flat and continue relaxing etc. So we left...
At the lift, we met some girls who invited us down to their flat 2 floors below ours. So we went back to mine, dumped unnecessary things, and then went down there, where we were joined soon after by the rest of our group, plus Pav. Cool beans.
So, we were partying down in Flat 10, and having a general laugh to the music. There was a Norwegian girl there. I have no problem with norwegians, but this one...well, Jay goes on about how stunning she is. He's right actually, she's beautiful. But alas we digress.... So yeah, he was chatting to this girl, so I didn't look at that side of the room, focusing on the music and the people I was dancing with :) Again, I ended up chatting to Mark.

Then, Mike announced they were leaving, 'cause they had an early start tomorrow (Mark is Mike's guest). Mark asked me for my number. I didn't have it, 'cause my phone died, so we went back to my flat to get my phone, to give him the number.
We did that, then went back to Flat 10, where the party continued. After a corus of the YMCA- THE party song of all time, Mike and Mark really did leave, not before we hugged a few times and danced some more together. And took some photos :)
Cue some dismalness as my party buddy left...

Then not long after, Pav, Jay and I decided to leave. As I got in the lift, Jay looked at me:-

"Jo...be honest....when you and that guy went up to ours, did....did anything happen?!"
"Oh god, no!! We just exchanged phone numbers- my phone's on charge and I dunno my number...."

Then Pav decided to throw in her 2 cents, saying how it looks like Mark may have competition for my affections. Jay started on about the Norwegian girl *sigh* and so on and so forth. Then I added that Mark and I were hanging out on Wednesday evening. Then again, he started on about the Norwegian...

I actually think, that he *may* be jealous o.O

"That microwave is the current love of his life!"
"No, actually, you are."

O.O

Nonii joo.... viikonloppuni oli LYHYT!!!!
Menin "kotiin" eilen illalla. Koti on miulle nyt perseestä!!! Rakastan perhettäni, mutta kotona, elämä on ihan erilainen kun täällä (asuntolassa, Flat 12) Täällä on aina joku ääni, ja ilman siitä, mä oon löytänyt, etten pysy nukkua hiljaisuuksissa!!

Tai, on lyhyt jos TIEDÄT MINNE OOT MENOSSA -__- Voi. Käveltiin sinne via Kiina (on ihan varma, siksi koska mä näin yli 40 Kiinalaisia :-O)
Noniin, me sanoimme, että se oli hyvä ajatus, mennä takaisin yliopistoon taksilla.... But that would have been WAY too easy. Prkl.
Sit, me käveltiin takaisin. Se oli PITKÄ MATKA. Ihan uskomaton. Yli 10km, no, kun me tultiin Yliopistoon, se oli sitten 10minuttia asuntolaan. 5min. jälkeen, toi laukku meni rikki. KATASTROFI!!!

Mulla on keskiviikkona joku työhaastattelu!! Se on Ipswichissä, ja jos saisin toi paikka, työnsin mun siskon kanssa XD

OMG!! Mulla on flunssa tunnen kuin olen kuolemassa! Yskä, korvakipeä, pääkipeä, ja nenäkipeä. Joskus, se sattuu niin kauheasti, etten voi nähdä mitään vasemmalta silmältäni :-s En ole menossa lääkäriin. Kun olen vielä hengissä, en ole menossa. Tiedän, että olen tyhmä, mutta en mä välitä siitä. No niin. Pav on myös kipeänä, ja me uskotaan, että kohta pojat tulevat sama!!

Tänään oli ihan ok päivä. Aamulla, minulla oli Ranskaa, ja saksaa, ja iltapäivällä oli taas ranskaa! En oo varma, että mä tykkään ranskasta :/ Emme saa puhua englantia, ja en muista paljon ranskaa.
En usko, että saksaa voi olla erilaisempi kun ranskaa. Se on LIIAN helppoa. Opettaja olie "Mein name ist ...." ja sitten, hän kertoi, että me pitäisimme kokeile sanoa siitä itsellemme XD Hän oli ihan shokissa, kun sanoin "Ich heisse Joanne, ich komme aus England. Ich wohne in Colchester und Ipswich, und ich studiere Sprachen und Englisch." no voi, ei ole vaikkea. Hyvä juttu, oli että mä tunnin jo joku kaveri, Mike. Hän "asuu" meidän kanssa asuntolassa.

Mä tykkään mun asuntolastani :D Me ollaan 16, ja se on kivaaaaaaaa. Keittiö näyttä kuin joku pommi oli siellä vaikka me sivotaan 3 x päivällä!!! Illalla on se juttu, että me pelaan Pokeri! En osaa, sitten mä katselen siitä. Ja arvaa mitä!!! Siel on joku TOSI hyvänäköinen mies, jotka asuu täällä :D En muista, jos olen jo kertonut hänestä, mutta joo.... nam! <3 Hän asuu lähellä Ipswichiin, ja hän on niin kiva :) eilen, pyydin, että oliko mahdollinen, että sen kurssi jälkeen, voisiks hän ostaa mulle suklaata (Annoin hänelle toi rahaa), mutta hän unohtuu :( Kun hän tuli kotona, hän katsoi mua, ja sanoi "OH SHIT!", ja sanoi, että, jos haluaisin, hän voi mennä täällä hetkellä, ja ostaa sen. Sanoin 'ei'. :)

Tänään, menin Colchesteriin yliopiston jälkeen, tavata Leggia. Mentiin museoon!! Oli kiva iltapäivä- me syötiin jäätelöä puistossa :) Kiva oli. Kerroin hänelle Jamesta, ja hän nauroi :-/ voi voi. Mutta joo....mulla oli joku German Club meeting klo 19, mutten pääsee :( Tulin just kotiin, ja hän oli keittiössä. Hän kysyi, jos olen menossa huomenna "Doctors and Nurses:iin" klubilla... jos tunnen paremmin, ehkä menen :) Se kysyi, myös, jos olen nähnyt toi Sunset. OLI PINKKI!!! <3 kyllä näin sitä :) Mä tykkään hänestä <3 <3 <3

nonii, nyt sänkyyn!!!

ÖITÄ <3
