First entry.
Just got this live-journal from my girlfriend this morning, bless her cotton socks. :P Her page is at
http://www.livejournal.com/users/pepsibabe2003 if you want to see it.
At the moment its Monday morning. I've still got another three weeks before University starts, which is good because its 21 more days of lie ins, but bad, because I am desperate to get into the uni lifestyle of work hard and play hard. ;)
Yesterday I went to the Man City vs Arsenal game. It was a 4pm kick-off so before the game I decided to go on the piss in the local pub to get myself in good voice to sing for the lads. But I ended up in quite a drunken state two hours before the game - so it was touch and go if I could be sober enough to get into the ground. :P
Managed to get in, and what a game it was. We were leading 1-0 after 13 minutes, thanks to an Arsenal defender thinking he was one of our strikers, running with the ball towards his goalkeeper and calmly slotting the ball past the goallie. We went fucking mad. Spent the first half singing ditties such as "Blue Moon" and "Hark at the City sing". :P
Of course, in the second half we lost 2-1, but there is no shame in losing to one of the best teams the world has ever known like that, especially since they tore us a new arsehole last year, but deserved a draw. Lost the thing due to some diabolical defending by Sun Jihai, and whats with only bringing Berkovic on in the 75th minute. He made us tick last season and should be starting games.
Other than the game and frequent drinks at the pub I went online, talked to my girlfriend Mandi and her mate, Leon. I wish Mandi was here with me right now. Only thing that sucks about this on-line relationship is that we're so far away (I think its 3000 miles away) so its going to cost alot of cash to fly over next summer. :P
But other than that, its been a fairly straightforward, if boring day. I think I will head off to town to find some books for University today, or go down to the gym to work on my new weight-lifting regime or I might try and find some programming to learn online. I've been a lazy git this summer and I've forgotten what its like to have a boring job in the middle of bin-dipping land. :P I might also make some preliminary enquiries about going on a booze-cruize holiday to Ibiza next summer. With top clubs/foam parties such as Manumission, Amnesia, Bora-Bora its something I'd like to do. (ever since I saw Kevin and Perry go Large :P) Might have to see how the cash goes and sacrifice the BMW I want to buy in four years.
Anyways, heres the survey that was on Mandi's page. I'll answer the questions myself since there is fuck-all to do in this part of manchester during the day. (apart from a vandalised park round my way - and they wonder why kids roam the streets causing anarchy. :P) Fireworks day is coming up soon, thats always a laugh. When I was a kid I used to put rockets up car exhausts and blow up engines. Now all the kids around the estates roam the streets throwing fireworks. It can get very annoying, and my sister was nearly hit by one last year. She had gone to the KFC up the road and almost got hit by a rocket on her way back - I was fucking mad. My sister had to stop me marching around the streets trying to find the arseholes who did that. I was a right twat when I was younger and nearly got out of control, but I sorted myself out, thankfully. :) Still game for a laugh nowdays though. ;)

6. what's your favorite sport? football. I don't play that much, but I am fanatical about Man City. I spend around 2 grand a season following them around the country. Comes with its dodgy moments though, especially when we play the thugs of Millwall at the Cold Blow Lane.

I didn't realise I had broken my arm then but I spent a sleepless night due to the pain, so I had to go to hospital the next morning. I've also had general small injuries from my school days when I played football/rugby in PE.

16. who is your quietest friend? Hmm, I've had quite a few mates who were qiuet, I don't consider them my great mates. I suppose that would have to be Joergen Tzenevrakis. He was a tidy bloke, not seen him since I graduated school though, which was three years ago.
17. who do you tell your dreams to? no-one, unless they're garanteed to get a laugh. I love making people laugh offline/online. Works more on you Americans though - you can't get enough of our dry Brit humour. :P
