Right, lets get one thing straight- I am NOT a touchy feely person!!
OK, so today was our church nativity play so the church was pretty packed out with parents, usual congregation and guests; which is fab i love it when people come o church. what i hate is the 'awwwing' when kids mess up or do something stupid; it is not cute!!!!! I know I'm a grinch when it comes to kids, but they are a lot more intelligent that a lot of you seem to think.... stop awwing and cooing; it's just annoying to me and them, most importantly me.
Secondly, after the nativity i love talking to my lovely churchey extended family; every Sunday is like a big get together of various aunts, uncles and other crazy relatives... it's great and i love it. But stop hugging me!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs are awesome, tis true. But the are reserved for those people and those occasions which really deserve them in my world. like i said.... i am not touchy feely. If you want me to feel extremely uncomfortable in the space of three seconds;hug me! this will then lead to me trying to make some horrible conversation that may deserve the hug..... it doesn't work, i am stunned by the unwanted physical contact and intimidated by the invasion of my personal space which turns me into a conversational fool. I know, it's Christmas....it's not a licence to hug!
But on a happier note, it's Christmas in 2 sleeps!I'm hoping for a watch, and i know i have a Thermos flask on the way... it's pink and will enable me to drink good coffee in my lectures, I might even turn up to some social psychology lectures if i have the help of large amounts of coffee! hurrah. should also help save some money since i won't be buying coffee in the psych cafe. I am also gonna get a Bible....ESV translation and pink, hmmm how odd, lots of pink!part from that i don't think i know anything else so i get surprises this year!
Were having candlelit service at midnight in church 2moro which is really beautiful and good fun, so looking forward to that. Hope everyone has a great Christmas xxx

Sunday, 2 December 2007
aww, just had the sweetest evening with my flatmates; had a real good chat with Tegen and Stewie, then joined Cate and Paulina where we brushed Cate's oh so curly hair into an amazing afro, then Pauli, Luke and i sat in the kitchen and made paper chains... then put the lights on the tree. Luke cried, then set me off.... it's almost Christmas! I love Cardiff so much, but i cannot wait to get home,I'm just knackered- should probably go to sleep before 2:30 in future!
"Nobody minds.Nobody cares.Pathetic, that's what it is."
Before you start to worry at the cynical and depressive titles, usernames etc- i have taken my inspiration form a source that i hold in the highest esteem; Eeyore!
I have taken inspiration from Rachael and Uncle Phil and thought i may as well rant to the world rather than errupting at Luke( i love you really) and Mum only..... i hope the rest of you realise you get it easy!
firstly a bit of a health warning is needed- i can be a bit extreme, so one post will be a light and positivity and in the next post shall be very much Eeyore based.... though probrably angrier than Eeyore.
secondly my typing skills and spelling leave ALOT to be desired and as such most of my blog will be completely incomprehensible... but it will make me feel better.
thirdly- posts are likely to be very sparodic, and largely based around essay/practical avoidance strategies.
righty ho..... in the words of Monty python 'GET ON WITH IT!'.
I have just returned from the wedding of the century.... my Nana and Grandad were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. since it was the second marrige for both of them the original ceremony was rather low key, and if you have ever met Nana you know that 'low key' are not words often accossiated with her. was actually a lovley service and their Minister John Lewis was very good... and he seems to be able to control Nana rather well! Nana looked 'lush' in a floor length purple sparkly number, and Grandad looked very smart, as did the rest of the family- the grandkids had pink bow ties( the boys) and Jasmine and Caitlin were in very cute pink dresses. I myself was in a dress... floor length and pink! pictures will be in a later post I'm sure.
Nana was on top form.... she showed off all her talented family and friends in a cabaret of music and an old man who tried to be funny. Jazzy and Caty sand 'Doe a deer' and 'Raindrops on Roses' and were very cute, Rhys played the piano an Stephen played 'Summertime' on the sax. My talents lie elsewhere..... not really sure where to be honest:Pthe band played really well, and my left arm muscles got a work out from carrying/dancing with Zach and jasmine.... and i think at one point we had the slowest conga in history. Speeches were refreshingly uncringeworthy; an the entire celebration was successfully a celebration of God's work, and what a blessing Nana and Grandad are as a couple; to each other and to others. Nana is one of my favourite people to make fun of (it's just so easy!) but she is remarkable!
On that note... it's time for some lunch- yummy leftovers from yesterday.... hurrah!
