    Brummingham...
    Chris and I went to Birmingham for lovely weekend. It has been in the pipeline for ages, and it finally happened. Yay! Anyway, I am far too lazy to type up what happened, so am just going to copy and paste bits from Chris's post, and add a few comments in along the way ;) Am sure he will tell me off, but ner :P

    "So...
    At about 11pm on Thursday, Hayley came down with her frequent problem of stomach pains (caused by gall stones)."

    Something I've inherited from my grandfather :P

    "These pains usually fully dissolve within about 2 hours or so, but these continued through the night, and were still not away by 10am meaning she had next to no sleep. She phoned the doctor, we went down, he was no use whatsoever and prescribed pointless drugs and was rude at the same time, but he said go to A&E; if nothing improves.

    Fine. I hope things get better. They did not, however. So off we went to the A&E; at Birmingham City Hospital. *6 HOURS*. Yes, you heard me right, 6 LONG LABORIOUS IRRITATING HOURS, with nothing but a grubby TV showing the war and two rotating CCTV images. Oh, but 4 hours in, we actually got moved from the waiting rooms to an exceptionally warm room, doubling-up as a cubicle."

    He neglects to mention the information screen thingy continuously playing it's demo. I could have smashed the thing to pieces. It seemed so pleased with itself that it could scroll text.


    "Half an hour later, a doctor appears and offers an injection. 15 minutes later it arrives. 1 hour later on, no change, but no doctor checking up. I go pester, she finally reappears and prescribes something else."

    By this time I had been in immense pain for over 21 hours. I had had less than 3 hours sleep (frankly a mircale i had had any at all) and had been waiting in A&E; for nearly 5 hours.

    "15 minutes later, the treatment comes. We need to be back at the hotel by 11pm otherwise we're locked out, and no-one comes to see us before 10pm. I go pester again, get shrugged off being told that we need to wait for the doctor to see if any progress has been made.

    Hayley goes and discharges herself "against medical advice". Well, if it didn't take you 6 hours to administer 2 sets of drugs, then maybe we wouldn't have needed to."

    I really had little choice. It was either stay, get checked by the doctor, then have no where to sleep that night, or go back to the hotel and pray that the drugs worked.

    "The NHS is falling to pot. The 'waiting time' poster in the main A&E; waiting room has "___ HOURS". What else need I say.

    ANYWAY. The second drugs seemed to work, and today we went to Cadbury World, and had a good look round. I was carrying both our suitcase and my briefcase through the place, dodging various brownie groups. We got 3 different free bars (a Dairy Milk, Crunchie and a Wispa)"

    Actually Chrstopher we had *4* different ones :P We had a caramel too :D

    "and got to try liquid chocolate. The packing room smelt of dairy milk, it was lovely :)

    However. We move on past the liquid chocolate bit, tried some other samples, and we went to this strange room with sounds activated by jumping on tiles. Very noisy, but suddenly a siren went off. We weren't sure whether this was another sound so we just stood there for a sec.

    IN THE INTERESTS OF FIRE SAFETY, PLEASE LEAVE BY THE NEAREST FIRE EXIT

    *whine* I have lugged around this luggage all day, and now I need to filter out through some small fire doors, only to stand outside for quarter of an hour. So we all moved outside and waited for any news. Nothing came, the sirens went off, and we went back in.

    It was a really nice day there, I bought about 20 quids worth of chocolate in various forms ("Cadbury Misshapes" x 2 - chocolate which they can't sell otherwise, "Twirl" x 500g x 2 and lots of Cookies x 3). We then went off to the Sealife Centre whch was a nice rest and a calming thing to do for a few hours, then we trundled around Birmingham city centre for a bit, then got the train home!"

    You can tell that Chris was more interested in the chocolate than the Sealife Centre ;) They had otters there and they were really cute :D And they gave us free tickets to go back (the Sealife Center - not the otters ;P) because they were supposed to have sea turtles there but they hadn't arrived yet. So we have two free tickets which need using by the end of June ;)

    Anyway, yes. It was all okay in the end, but Friday was such a massive waste of time :/ and i still feel really guilty about it :P

    The moon is called Frank
    Woo, got back from weekend in Brighton yesterday. Was for surprise meal for Pookysamkins for his birfday which was last week :P Had lovely meal at lovely restaurant called Donatello's, and it was cheap, which is always good (£10 for 3 courses). Plus, Sam's parents bought the wine which made everything a whole lot cheaper :D

    Then went back to his house and had champagne and cake (except i didn't eat the cake - fruitcake *yuck*). Then we named the moon Frank, because we thought it was sad that it didn't have a proper name and had so far spent it's life being called a generic name. SO WE CALLED IT FRANK (spread the word). And we came up with an idea to solve the problem of global warming and make a profit from it. We are going to sell buckets and make it's everyone's duty to fill a bucket full of water and put it in their freezers, to conuteract the rising sea-level :D

    It all seemed like such a good idea at the time.

    I am alive and bored out of my head.
    I have bought herbs in pots and now they are on the windowsill in the kitchen.
    Any bets to how long they are going to last? I bought them a week ago and have nearly killed two of them already. *bows*

    Duck
    [info]hayley
    A solitary duck on a snowdrift
    Divinatory Meanings: This card suggests that reality may be differeny from first impression. As the duck can fly, the rubber duck cannot. As the duck probably wouldn\'t think much of sitting on a snowdrift, the rubber duck couldn\'t care less. It is waterproof after all. Also, seen as a sign of loneliness.
    Reversed: Undiscovered talents, potential, capability, tough skinned, thoughtful.
    Motto: 'Love Me, Need Me.'

    A can of Dr Pepper just fell onto my head.
    Then it bounced off and smashed one of our bowls.

    Ow. I think I have a dent.

    Starting my new units this week. Have Ancient Technology on Tuesdays and Early Human Origins on Thursdays. 4 day weekend :D
    Have intro lecture type thingy for Ancient Tech today. We have to make a poster to get our credit points. That is it :P

    Got Egypt exam result back - 74 (wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!)
    and History of Archaeology essay back - 68 (whooooop! - best mark for essay ever :P I prefer exams :P)

    Whenever i go to type 'exams' it keeps coming out as xmas. Wishful thinking.

    My cousin sent me a pic of her baby wearing little tigger baby-gro thingy i bought him for xmas. He is so cute :D

    I bought a Roy Lichtenstein calendar, which was half price from Point Blank, which is the best cards-and-stuff shop ever. I am going to hang it in the kitchen. Also bought Keith Haring address book, which the woman at the shop also charged me half price for. It wasn't suppose to be, but i wasn't going to tell her :P *bouncy bouncy pop art mood*

    Tried to buy printer cartridge but everywhere has sold out, and the woman at Rymans blamed that fact that it was the time of year when people were printing out their dissertations. If they know this fact, surely they should buy more in to accommodate? Meh.

    And finally, i tried to sever my thumb with a bread knife. Actually, i just sliced into it a bit, but it felt like i was trying to sever it.

    That was my day. Oh fun.

    Someone help me.

    And the stupid spell check on lj doesn't know how to spell archaeology.

    I just heard that the government are thinking of putting up university tuition fees up to £3000 a year in 2006 :/
    Fucking twats.

    Sorry, for sudden rude outburst. Really irritates me though.

    I will be in enough debt when i leave uni. I certainly wouldn't want to have to pay £3000/year tuition fee. Bloody Tony bloody Blair.

    *cough*

    I am feeeling sleeeeeepy........
    Have literally just sat here for 2 hours trying to catch up on friends posts. Still haven't managed it. If you have weird replies to posts you made ages ago, it is probably me :D

    Iamtheemosttiredpersonintheworld

    I did not go to bed last night. I did my essay. It is done. It is rubbish. I am happy. I have a lecture to go to v soon. I am going to die.

    Am hitting the stage of tiredness when i get slightly hysterical. Lecture should be fun. Have feeling i may start laughing in the middle of it for no reason. Or maybe while i'm at the bus stop, and then the bus won't stop for me because the driver will think i'm a homicidal maniac. Maybe. Just maybe.

    Hope everyone had a lovely scrumbly xmas, and wish you all a happy new year.
    Won't be posting much until i get back to bristol (13th Jan) because the internet connection here really irritates me (i hate aol), oh and my dad's keyboard is a right royal pain as well. I don't think i have ever actaully said 'right royal pain' before. I am turning into my grandmother.

    Thankles to ppl who sent me xmas cards, sorry if i didn't send one back, but prob was coz didn't have your addresses, but cards were still appreciated. Will say thanks properly later.
