14 weeks ago I talked about this day as if it was months away- it was. Now, those fourteen weeks are over, and on Sunday I'll be going to University. Yes, I'm well aware today is Friday (I'm quite surprised I do know that, actually), and there is usually another day between Friday and Sunday, but I'll be spending tommorrow CENSORing, and tommorrow evening at Scot's party. As such, this is my last day of doing bugger all.

That isn't strictly true either- I've spent the day coding a moblog (don't ask, yet), and listening to all the songs flagged as not listened to by Winamp. I can see why I hadn't listened to them until today.

I hope that when I start there, to ease us in, we don't have to write about what we did in the summer in our English books- I havn't done that much at all.

Wait, hang on!

...

I've done loads. You regular blog readers should know that. If you'll allow me to go all "clipshow" for a second, here's a definitive list of everything I've done:


  1. Went to two parties on two consecutive days.
  2. Haxored up my new computer
  3. Owned my friends at a LAN Party
  4. Celebrated the birth of my good friend Heggs and Harry Potter 6 simultaneously.
  5. Been treated badly by a CENSORED and CENSORED.
  6. Won big on a scratchcard.
  7. Failed to buy some shoes.
  8. Booked my driving test.
  9. Looked after five guinea pigs whilst their owners are on holiday.
  10. Been spotted like the celebrity I am. Twice.
  11. Went to see the Fantastic Four
  12. Played the part of a vision mixer on BBC News on Tour...
  13. ... and gave Heather some excellent birthday presents.
  14. Stayed home alone for five days running, and went to a wild party with drugs and swearing and alcohol and chavs.
  15. Walked all the way to Great Stretton, with Heather.
  16. I smelt damn good. (No, you can NOT verify this).
  17. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Heather. Drank a big coke.
  18. Mucked about with the Google Maps API and started a map project I had no realistic chance of finishing.
  19. Avoided bumping into Kilroy all summer!
  20. Attempted to make a mould of my hand, with Heather. (She was the co-ordinator helper, not the ingredients)
  21. Became ill then better again.
  22. Got a pleasing set of exam results. More specifically: got into University.
  23. Had another haircut and shave.
  24. Broke a WORLD RECORD with Heather.
  25. Got childish swearing onto satellite television.
  26. Saw a fire alarm go off in a shop.
  27. Lost a game of a trivia.
  28. Rebadged a set of 18-month-old animations as something entirely new.
  29. Became socially paranoid about talking to a window-cleaner.
  30. Insulted an old enemy in public. (STILL no reply).
  31. Saw probably my oldest friend before he went to Uni.
  32. Got a bollocking for talking about CENSORED. (Don't worry, this will all be restored/explained at approximately 6pm tommorrow).
  33. Went to a massive party at Heather's house.
  34. Complained about sport when everyone else was enjoying it.
  35. Had a left-wing rant.
  36. Worried about failing my driving test.
  37. FAILED my driving test.
  38. Reviewed a supermarket's Coca-Cola knock-off.
  39. Went to a pub.
  40. Complained about gingerbread men.
  41. Went to another pub.


In retrospect, I've had a fucking excellent summer. I think the swearing appropiately emphasises my point, too.
