Dancing in the Quiet

Hello wooooo! I have finished my exams now!! And I'm so pleased :-) I will never have to revise in the cold again! I'll never have another exam in winter. And the great news is that they went well! But let's not focus on the exams, let's focus on the fun I had afterwards:

Straight after my last exam (Friday), Jon, Ryan and I went to a pub to get some grub and then we went to the union bar (Taf) to play some pool! It was great to catch up with these dudes again, I haven't seen them for ages! And I actually won a game of pool, thanks to Ryan's teachings!!

It was so cool, while we were at the Taf I saw my favourite buddies Steven, Marc, Amy and Kift!! What are the odds?! Anyway, after a power-nap and some food I rejoined my favourite buddies (with Speed) and we went to a silent disco!! In case you don't know, blog, (my mum just laughed), a silent disco is where everyone wears headphones and no other music is playing. It's cool, you can select which DJ you want to listen to, and it was an indie night!

It was my first silent disco ever and it was really fun! But strange at first: we first got there and there were hardly any people there. And no music. It kinda felt like a school disco (especially when they turned the lights on at the end!) It was really strange watching people dance in silence, but I shoved the headphones on and got down with it!

The morning after Speed and I went to my favourite Bute-tiful Park for a stroll! And in the evening I bumped into my brother Hobday, so I brought him back to my house and we made an evening of it (Speed and I took him on our big-shop for food).

I'm soooooooooooooooooooo happy my exams are over!! I'm straight back to lectures tomorrow though... And this semester is going to be the hardest of my life! But we'll still have lots of fun, right? Next weekend: ROAD TRIIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! Speak to you soon!!

2nd Post DOWNER

Ahh, it's that time of year again. This is my traditional 2nd post of the year downer. I can't help it! It's because I have exams! But this post comes with a bit of a twist because I've had some fun times too!!

Check this out, can I just say first of all how cool this is: Graze.com. You tell 'em the sorts of food you like and they'll post a box of food through your door on the days of the week you want. I got my first box for free!!:

I got grapes and I got chocolate raisins and I got some seed!! It was nice, but I'm not paying £3.50 for that every week...

I had a romantic dinner date the other day!!! But I'd be the biggest looser if I came on here and told you all about it. It was good, though!

I was meant to jam with my band on Friday! ...but my drummer and guitarist forgot... Shame! I really needed that! But it's ok because instead I went to see my friends Amy, Steven and Marc with Speed at the pub. They cheered me up! And we played the PS3 at my house afterwards!

And they invited me to a silent disco on the day I finish my exams! I can't wait, I've always wanted to go to one of those! All the fun with none of the rubbish music!!

See, things will be way fun after my exams are over, I promise! This year is still going to be the coolest year ever!! Hooray!

Yesterday Speed & I went out for a long drive to the shops. We sang Dashboard Confessional as loud as we could all the way there and back! Cars are perfect for singing in!

Lowlights:

There really weren't many bad things this year! How cool is that?! Besides getting the worst sore throat EVER, it was good times all-around!

I have no interesting new-year photos, I'm afraid! I spent new year's with mine & Joe's family.

2008 was so much better than I realised! What a crazy, fun-packed, exciting year! And you know the really good thing? The thing that I'm totally excited about? 2009 is going to be EVEN BETTER!!! I promise it will! Just wait!
