humm not been on here for a very long time have i?!? well i forgot how to spell my user name...i am so stupid!!! i remembered how to do it now (i had to look it up which meant spending ages scouring message boards to find the spelling) as the BF convinced me to sign up on World of Warcraft and i wanted to use the name. So now I am a nightelf called Avalerya...or i was unitl the 10 day free trial ran out! oh well. Maybe i should consider updating this with things that have gone on in my life since september 2006 (!!!!!) or maybe i should just start fresh from here........

update	[Sep. 16th, 2006\|11:44 pm]
Well, i thought as i haven't set foot in here for months, i had better do an update! so waht have I been up to sonce the last update? well the truth is not a lot! I have been working which is incredibly boring but hey, i get paid so it will do for now, and basically I do need to do it in order to pursue the future career, start at the bttom and all that! I am planning on enrolling on a beginners mandarin course but got to wait a couple of weeks for the open evening. I took beginners mandarin 2 years ago, but was so bad when it came to actually writing characters that i dodnt do well at all. OK with pinyin though when i get into it, so I thought start from the beginning again and i might get somewhere. Seriously thinking about going to visit beijing next summer as my friend is moving back over there for a while. Oh and I went on a trip to edinburgh for a weekend, had lots of fun! big argument int he car as it took us an hour to find the hotel as the AA route i printed out was crap! we had fun though although it did rain all weekend! and the sun came out when we left (typical). We visited Holyrood house, the castle and a little gallery, walked round the city and had the most unscottish dinner on the saturday night of Japanese food (i love japanese food, i could live off agadashi tofu!!!). the most annoying thing though, 2 friends i went with wanted to shop. it was so annoying as we have all those shops at home! i wanted to sight see :( here are a few pics anyway - [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/Edinburgh029.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00266.jpg[/IMG] Castle [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00237.jpg[/IMG] Holyrood Abbey [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00225.jpg[/IMG] Holyrood house [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00215.jpg[/IMG] Castle [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00244.jpg[/IMG] A real life tardis!!!! [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00280.jpg[/IMG] Views from the castle [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Edinburgh/DSC00257.jpg[/IMG] Night time castle in other news - since i last posted I recieved my nahh ato pullip, i love her, i am in the process of straightening her hair though becasue it is so tangled and curly, it will be beautiful when I have done, got to try the hot water method as straighteners arent working for me! I also have a new pullip called Ava, a comission done by Jo, i love Ava to bits, she is so cute! here is Ava - [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/bekibean/Ava3.jpg[/IMG] oh and also, some good news! the ongoing diet i have been doing since january is working, i have lost 2 stone and 2.5 pounds since january, and finally, just a couple of weeks ago I have been able to buy my first size (UK) 18 jeans in about 4 years (it has taken a 2 stone weight loss to drop from a 20 to an 18, ages! i was starting to get annoyed!), so happy! yay! and they are actually starting to feel a little loose on the waist! only bad thing, i have had a big wardrobe clear out and I have so many nice things that are now too big. I thought of having them taken in but i think it will be too complicated and maybe I should just go and buy new stuff :( its a good thing i am a hoarder though, i have a variety of sizes in my wardrobe so i am ok for clothes even if I lose more weight! happy happy!

my journal	[Jun. 30th, 2006\|10:21 pm]
Oh my little live journal, how I have neglected you! time for a post me thinks. soooo what have I been up to since I last posted, well, a lot and not a lot really. The not a lot....i have been working day in day out, a bit boring really, but the time goes so quickly! and now I have a cold and feel ill, i have had it all week (2 days off work yay...and it was a productive 2 days as well, i was hunting for my training contract to become a lawyer, i found some firms, now all i have to do is get my letters out...within the next 4 weeks....) and thursday and friday at work feeling really ill, i am so blocked up and I had an embarrassing coughing fit today, I am so glad I wasn't on the phone when that happened, that would have been very embarrassing, i think Michelle who i was sitting next to thought i was dying! Anyway, the lot I have been up to...well on the 8th june for the thurs, fri and sat and sun and mon I was at Download festival in castle donnington UK! it was soooo good, i saw lots of bands, well i saw a lot less than i had planned to because it was so hot I just hid under the gazebo outside my tent for most of the first day of bands with beer, pringles and snickers bars (they gave away free snickers! i dont like snickers usually, but if it is free and it has chocolate on it I am not complaining!) and I got burnt on the thursday unpacking stuff from my car, not fun if you forget to wear suncream on the 3 trips to the car and back (i swear I must have walked about 8 miles that day, and we were on one of the closest campsites to the arena and car parks, poor people who were on the outer ones) and I got soooooo burnt, not fun to have to put up with 4 more days of 30 degree heat after that! I am so thankful for Jo and her factor 40 cream, i dont think my factor 25 would have helped me, but the life saving factor 40 stopped me getting more burnt! But there were loads of good bands, I will post piccies when i get them back. We saw metallica, Guns n roses, Korn (minus Jonathon davis - sob), Funeral for a friend, Lacuna Coil (i hadnt heard them before, and I thought they were really good, i keep meaning to go out and buy an album), Fightstar (Yes I know Charlie was in Busted, I didnt like Busted, but Fightstar are really pretty good!), Within temptation, All american rejects, trivium, Hatebreed (i dont like these but hey it was hot and I found a nice piece of grass and I can listen to anything whilst lying in a field with some beer!), I listened to others but off the top of my head I cant remember who!! (im not very good am i!!). I also went to see Lordi, because after the eurovision thing i was intrigued, but we could get no where near the tent to see anything, and i missed the first 15 minutes of GnR becasue in very un-Axl style he was early on stage!!!!!! the shock!!!!!so annoyed I missed Welcome to the Jungle! oh and I found this really nice pear cider, i have to find a constant supply of that it was so nice, i hadnt seen pear cider before then..... Did you all see the BBC news coverage of the riots at the festival???...ummm...that was my campsite, and I have pics....I would like to point out that I wasnt involved in any of it, but I was a mere innoent bystander giveing the odd cheer (in my very drunken state) when a big explosion occured. However I had to retreat back to my tent by about 4am for fear of having it looted and burned on a fire (seriously, they were doing this!, and I wasnt having anyone steal my lovely new spotty fleece blanket I had bought at the festival). So I watched from afar from outside my tent (well not afar, maybe about 100 metres) and fell asleeop at 4.30 with my legs sticking out of the tent and missed all of the fun when the riot police turned up! how did I manage to sleep through that! The campsite looked like a war zone the next morning on the treck to the toilets of evil! Anyways, pictures to come soon, I have asked for them to be put on CD at the processing place for easy uploading!

today

mood

happy

]

Today I am very happy, for 2 reasons, firstly I went to the hospital (i have PCOS) and the doctor said I can continue with the treatment I am on for a year more! yay! maybe by then I will be very thin and have no spots at all! and number 2, I went to weight watchers and I have met my first mini goal! horray! i have lost 17 pounds since i started my job on the 9th January, i am so happy! i am a long way off from my long term goal of an overall 4 stone weight loss, but I am happy I have reached the first milestone I have set myself. Next goal is to lose 10 pounds more! No set date for this loss, just as long as I lose a pound or more a week I will be happy!

Work today was a little boring (secretary), a little slow, not a lot to do, but I had to go and help sort all the post in the afternoon, I always enjoy doing that, the girl who works down there is great! I dont work down there often though, hopefully tomorrow though becasue I think Jackie is off again, so I will be helping out in her place.

Hobbies	[May. 8th, 2006\|11:09 pm]
I realise I dont really have any hobbies (apart from spending hours on the net posting to message boards) I need a few good hobbie to put on CV's for future job applications, I havent come up with many ideas, first think though, i bought myself some paper, im going to ahve a go at art!! I used to be good in school, like before GCSE's (my mum woudlnt let me take an art GCSE the meanie, she made me do business studies instead, said it would be more beneficial, but have i used it since??? no!) So I wonder if I can still draw? my first attemp will be with pastels, thinking of drawing a picture of a geisha, but need a good picture to copy.
