Astriedax's Mutterings

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:38:51 GMT

Loads of uni work been going on recently and Im actually begnning to properly enjoy it now. Got a good module on Renessance Literarure which is really interesting and enjoyable. Missed today though because of hellish period pain. like the kind where walking is tough becasue the cramps are so bad. Hot water bottle for me thats for sure

Have lost a bit more weight, now weigh 174 due to having mainly soup during the day and just the meal at night with Dave.

Guild in WOW is progressing steadily as well know, took down Gruul adn the high king for the first time a couple of weeks ago adn Ive had to close recruitment as we were getting too many people wanting to raid. Will have to look at that again should we find we're lacking in members/ Some of them are a bit of a nightmare but most are ok. Some high maintenence whiners in there but they work hard so its ok I guess. Teaching me some real people skills thats for sure.

Mum adn Dad and Jenn here for easter so looking forward to seeing them, gonna get some real studying done during the break.

Been hella busy recently so not had much time to update and stuff. We all went out for dave's birthday this weekend just gone dressed as pirates to the local nightcub Spiders. I got some pics to show everyone.

This is me very very drunk on rum

and this is dave in a very similar situation

was a good laugh thats for sure/

Got Jenn coming over this weekend and we're going to do some Victorian style photo's with my new corset and the other new bits and bobs I have picked up over the last few weeks. She also wants to do some in natural light for her projects so will be heading to the park tomorrow and having an explore inside the glass house with the budgies !

Thats that for the time being. Still eating healthily but havent had the chance to go and weight myself recently. i feel healthier though adn thats a good start. Clothes seem a bit baggier too so I hope I have lost some. Positive mental attitude and all that !!

And yay, spring is coming, I love springtime and all the life exploding around us. Soon be beltane and thats always a good laugh

Weighed myself today in the chemist, its 50p a go and it tells you all sorts of things like your BMi etc. Have been eating healthy for the past week or so and when I weighed myself before I was 180.

today I was 176. I lost 4 lbs in a week which isnt too bad for a start I guess. Just need to cut the portion size and thats fine. Not munching on as many things now either adn if I do its something healthy like cherries or banana's.

My ideal body weight is between 105 and 142. I shall aim for the 142 to start with so thats 34 to loose, got a way to go but I can get there.

My BMI is 30.8

I also found out IM 5' 3 not 2 so I must have grown an inch somewhere along the line..

hah, will go and weigh myself next week as well to see how I am getting on.

The past few weeks have been incredibly busy, have finished assignments and got them all handed in. all done until Jan 15th but have a big long Christmas break to do those in !

The weekend just gone we went to see Dave's parents for his Dad's 50th birthday, they are very nice and we all got on well whcih was a big rellief. I wasnt aware of how worried I was about it until it was over and I felt a whole lot better. We went out for a meal then got roaring drunk and danced about in a karaoke club, was interesting and fun adn hangover inducing. its just a shame that it was so far to go ! The only annyoing thing was being compared to his ex-wife, I should have expected it and it was always a good comparison but none the less it made me feel a bit uneasy.

She has asked for the divorce papers as well whcih is a good thing, get it over and done with so we never have to talk to her again. iadmit I dont but it makes me feel a bit odd. Cant really explain it very well, is just a bit strange.

Turns out Sarah had Lauren on Saturday afternoon, love sent to her, She looks perfect. Her operation is on Thursday so shall be thinking of her all day and hoping that it goes well

sore post

today I hurt !! been rather ill recently so decided I'd go to the doctors to sort myself out. Turns out I have a Kidney infection which he has given me the strongest anti-B's in the world for. Seriously, these things amake me so light headed ! He also demanded I have a flu-jab. I have Asthma so I am supossed to have one anyway. it was free so I agreed. I did this before lectures started so i go into my Intro to Lit Studies lecture as normal ! As i there listening to the lecture the wall starts pulsating and I realise I was as high as a kite. This was a strange experience. went for coffee with my friend Jess but continued feeling light-headed and spaced out. It was like being 5 foot behind my body, I knew I was speaking but it felt like it wasnt me saying it. I went to sleep adn it wore off when I woke up.

Went on the night adventures Saturday night, not really that sensible because it was freezing cold but I had a laugh. was really dark and poeple who had glowsticks were annoying becaus they destroyed any hope of having night vision what-so-ever. Was good to see everyone again though.

Things out of the blue happened as well. was playing wow happily Friday morning when I get a random PM from Joey/Valentine, seems he was really distressed about him and Aimee and he just needed someone to chat to about it. I cant think why he would chose me of all people to speak to, considering how I feel about the girl he is with but I was pleased none the less. I always said my biggest regret was that we were not able to be friends. Seems he has itchy feet and is bored. I told him to just be honest with himself and that even if he tries to lie to himself about it eventually it will all come crashing down ! was really good to see and chat to him on the night missions as well, had a good catch ip and it made me feel good. He even said it wasnt my fault when I appologised. It only took a year but I feel we can be friends again and leave the past behind us. Lets just see what Aimee feels about that. Stupid cunt

I have a cold, it blows. Off to do some hardcore english stuff.

zz

I always seem to update this when Im tired. I havent been sleeping properly reently, laying starig at the celing has long lost its appeal. I am constantly knackered during the day but when it comes to bed time I just lay there awake for no good reason. Ploughing through the crap I have done suring the day.

Managed to accomplish a fair bit this weekend though, read jane Eyre which is good, lectures start on that today adn that was good too, Meeting Natalie tomorrow for a gossip and natter about the Enhlish work we have been doing, am nearly ready to start writing my practice essay as well which is a nice feeling, something less to worry abouyt thats for sure. got a few bits and bobs left to do but am mostly caught up. Hurrah for working the entire weekend and missing out on FnH -.-

start belly dancing Wednesday. not going swimming tomorrow for the english work but am going Thursday night with Dave instead, will hvae weight update then. Have some measurements though, another way of watching how much I have toned up

Bust 40
Waist 33
Hips 39
Upper thigh 23
Upper arm 12

All in inches, last time I weighed myself I was 12st 2

haha, maybe getting somewhere eh !!

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 21:29:43 GMT

Clean and decidedly less Chlorine stinky. just tired now. Been a busy sick week really, Dave first off had a stomach bug which turned into a cold which he gave me, Its been a bit meh coz it cant be bothered to turn into anything, just a headache and a sore back, like I never had before which is ghey.

Housewarming this weekend, and celebration for all and no good readon, looking forward to seeing my mates again thats for sure.

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:51:15 GMT

back at the pool today, did 30 lengths, 6 without stopping before I got tired, thats 2 more than last week. Im tired though..

weighed in at 12st 1, a loss of 3lbs without trying.

going for a beth now, stink like chlorine

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 18:59:51 GMT

I didnt make it to the pool today but nevermind, I dug the garden over in the front and brought some plants at the local shop, 6 Pieres, 3 Azalia's and a random shrub, whcih was 25p, cant moan at that really. Im really tired and have a few blisters on my hands, not to mantion the nettle stings and the cuts. Felt good to actually be doing something again, i enjoy Gardening for that reason, I can look back on the day and see what I have achieved and thats the best feeling.

On a down side, my Asthma has been playing up a lot and I am struggling to breathe a lot of the time.Im not impressed as it leaves me so tired and grumpy. I have my inhailer so I can hope that it continues to work.

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 16:40:20 GMT

Today I am 25.

I feel no different. Just disconnected from everyone, like looking at the world through a mirror or something hard to explain, maybe a bit like Im not in my head, not sure. Its wierd. I cant seem to make connections to people even though I speak to them, Its like they are a million miles away from me. dave is different, maybe coz I really know him. I dunno, maybe my mind is just in a strange place right now.

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:36:03 GMT

First proper lecture today, went well, loads of intro stuff about Landmark texts

Went swimming today, my over all fitness levels are appauling and I really feel I need to change that, My asthma is at its worst for a long time and I reckon some healthy weight loss and some excersice will make the world of difference. I managed 21 Lengths of the pool which was good as I was going to be happy with 10. I had to rest after 5 and then after every 2 but 21 is a good start. Also the pool is down the road and there is a discount for students too. Weighed myself while I was there and I weigh a shocking 12st 4. I have put on well over a stone since I moved and that just needs to go. Aiming to weigh myself every Monday when I go swimming and keep it here as a record. I dread to see what my BMI is :/

Weight 12st 4

What is your favorite thing about yourself? Least favorite thing?

View 500 Answers

My favourite thing about myself would have to be my personality, Im open, trusting and generally up for anything thats fun, Unfortunatly I can be naive coz I am trusting and that has led to trouble more than once. However my least favourite thing about myself is my impatience, the problem with being get-up-and-go means Im often waiting about for other people to be ready and I hate waiting

crazeeee

The past week has been totally insane.

The weekend of LArp was fantastic, had a good time in Black Country and their Banquet was fantastic, food was beautiful and the entertainment was class, was singing a few of the songs to myself for a good few days afterwards. Then on to Derby Branch on SUnday where I survived, managed to gather up some ashes of a vampire for Ed and even managed to Jump Johny from behind with my staff as he laughed at other players. Even the monstering was fun. got to play a crazy demon thinger, 5 of us played it all together and we managed to wind up Rogoff (I can NEVER remember his first name) by repeating the same thing. All in all, a good time had by all

Then I started uni the next day and that has been awesome. Met some new people which is wicked, will meet the rest of my course next week which will be good as well. There is a chap called Martin on my course and a girl named Natalie who is doing English with Philosophy. Got introduced to Richard who is a computer geek and plays the Cornet, Andrew who was really quiet and Lee, who is doing Geography and plays WOW. Had a common ground with him so was chatting for ages about it. Helped Mehmet with the Society fair yesterday for a while, roped a whole list of people into WARPS. I aint interested in WARPS so they are going on the FnH list as well, see if we can poach some members!! Then the week caught up with me adn I started to feel woozy and tired so went home and chilled out for ages

Had my first lecture as well, was wicked. I even spoke my opinion in front of everyone and that was a bit scary, glad I did though coz it means I hve lost some of the girlish shyness that plagued me while I was at college. I am going to make the most of this and I really want to do well. I have made a load of notes on the Books I have read so far and I feel I am doign well. My mind is in the right set for this !!

Mwhahaha

The Guild is nearly mine...

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 20:18:09 GMT

All moved and settled into our new house now, got the internet working and everything. Its nice to be in a place that isnt cramped. Tehre is no stuff rammed into every nock and cranny. I mean there is stuff everywhere downstairs but thats mainly Dave's bits and Bobs which he can put where he likes.

Am looking forward to the weekend, have the black country banquet thing and even moreso for starting Uni. I cant wait to make my own friends. I dont think Dave gets how lonely I get here at times. Im isolated from everyone I know properly adn who know me. I dont see my friends only his and Although they are nice people they are not MY friends. I have no on to gossip with and do all girl things. Things I never thought Id miss doing. I look forward to doing my hobbys as well. I cant wait to get some new photo's done, like was promised when I first moved but hnever happened. Seems I need a new photographer :/

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 10:28:40 GMT

ZOMG we move in a few days time. cant bloody wait until we actually move. No ,ore orange, no more falling to bits house. I can walk around with no clothes on if I want to!!

We're going to Dove House in a bit to get cheap furnature. need a wall unit for the figures and a TV stabd thing for the back room. I really cant wait t o get there now.

Other news: Not enough drivers for FnH this weekend so we played warcraft instead. Been bitten by the PvP bug at the moment so spendign a lot of time killing others. Managed to Solo a Paladin in WSG yesterday adn I was well pleased !!!

Dave starts work Thursday now which is good, we're a bit broke but it isnt for to much longer, got uni starting in under 2 weeks as well so its not so bad at all.

And Sarah is nearly a mum too, thats gone so fast. my thoughts are with her and shall be for some time now. Someone was asking after her in Warcraft which was cool, They also are pleased for her :P Sarah, your guildee's miss you

Im too excited for words

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 09:34:31 GMT

Yesterday we finally got the Karazhan attunement finished, means we can go raiding and get some decent gear, T4 Epic stuff here I come... Not even sure which type of gear to go for, healer or Shadow but never mind. Gonna be a good giggle.

Today is gonna be a chilled one I reckon, Dave is gonna paint war machine figures and Im gonna work on my monster book, It looks awesome as it is and I got sooo much more to put in its unreal. Means get to do fancy writing and drink a load of tea. both are good. I may even pain my own figures but to be honest Im not in the mood. Want to work on my book..

I am a bit of a dope, forgot to go to the doctors yesterdat so will have to rearrange an appointment. Hope I can get in and see them -.-

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 13:47:18 GMT

Seems as I didnt miss much in FnH yesterday, the adventures were apparently crappy and not well thouht out adn not much happened. Grath bummed his ritual and managed tp summon a demon he didnt want, got all the info he needed though, next week I think they are gouing to deal with that problem and so stop the deaths of many. A bit too late to save Jayne though. Fucking theives. Need a new alchemist for that Grrrrrrr

Anyway, in the real world not much is happening. chilling and trying not to go mad with the amount of people here, even dreaming about screaming at people, less good. Played warcraft for a bit so far today, managed to cuk majorly in the arena but meh, practice is all it takes. gonna go adn write some of my monster book now, feel at least a bit creative !!

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 08:57:12 GMT

I got rid of evertone for the day. wasnt in the mood for FnH today, am suffering with people fatigue methinks. Just want to throttle the crap out of anyone that comes my way, better idea to stay here and chill out, can play warcraft for a bit, do some house chores and get the bits and bobs we need.

Feel like yoghurt today so will pop to Lydls in a bit.

A year ago today Grandad passed away so feeling a little sad. amazing how the death of someone affects you, even after time passes. Id like to talk to him again and ask him the things I never did. He had so many stories he could have told and I never asked, guess this is one of my regrets

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 23:25:21 GMT

Damn it I wish I wasnt so tired all the time.

Seems all I do at the moment is sleep, I wake up at a sensible time, around 9ish, get up and by 2 I am knackered. I had to have a sleep this afternoon to stay awake this evening, feels like Im 75 not 25. Need to have a look at this I reckon

Dave has an interview at 12 romorrow and we go look at a new house at half 3, same one as before but without a tenant in it already, cant wait to get away from the orange walls and hell that this place represents.

bedtime, so goddamned tired

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 09:57:53 GMT

The weekend was mad. Had a wicked time running about and not dying !! Thank goodness for that,w as pretty scary though and a number of charactors did die. None of my mates though so was ok ! Managed to pick up a new tent for cheap, got a nice new dress as well, is black and blue and made of light linen so is really nice in the heat. Was a blisteringly hot weekend with more than one person passing out in heat exhaustion but I drank enough and thanks to Jayne's Hat was saved from anything like that. Was exhausting though, had an average of 4 hours per night but managed to catch a snooze in the afternoon to make up for it.

Steve is over this week which is cool, emans guitar hero and much hilling out.. Got to go and see the estate agent woman about the new house too. Cant wait to move and get away from the orange walls and the falling to bits house we have at the moment.

Student loan has been granted successfully, will be living oin about 2K every 3 months so thats not too bad. At least I got it and dont have to worry too much about finding a job and that kind opf Jazz.

Bah, need a shop trip for essencial tea nad food.

woo hoo, the fun never stops

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:57:03 GMT
