The Lost Posts of 2006 Part 2

So in the last post in my chronological madness, I forgot to mention that I graduated in July of 2006. It was good seeing the old CIC crew and the girlfriends and relatives. It was great seeing everyone again. Oddly enough since finishing uni I’ve become more friendly with some people by talking to them online, that I barely talked to at uni err…hello Zach! The fabulous artist, Kneeley of pinkwookie fame (which I still haven’t made a main site for and put up the artwork, which is naughty of me) was also present as well as Mr. Hirons of first year ps2 gaming fame!

Looking back at my life then it seems so much happier then. I don’t want to fall in the trap of saying those were the happiest days of my life, because if that’s true then it’s all downhill from now on! Anyway suffice to say I had an truly awesome time at uni and met some utterly cool people and I hope I can make my lottery dream of buying a place and paying all the former Harcourtians to live there! In fact I’m going to amend that plan and make it some kind of spaceship, in the hope of recreating some Firefly/Serenity scenes.

I’ll save the in depth details of graduation as most of my readers were there, but it was good to see the old Harcourtians, as well as other friends and come to think of it, the absolutely horrendous thought is that, that was in fact the last time I’ve seen them. I know this has been largely my fault as offers to go various places have been made, but due to issues such as money and transportation I haven’t been able to make it and had to settle with being stuck in that accursed house. Anyway this will have to be rectified soon. But of course graduation is not relevant to now, so the rest is going to be about my birthday in September 2006 (which a few of you were there too!). Cheer up, we’re only 6 months behind present day! :D

Despite as usual I tried my best to hide the fact that I was going to become a year older, the secret was out and my birthday was proof that the best plans are made at the last minute, thanks to everyone that came. Well thanks to everyone that couldn’t too as they all had believable explanations. Anyway there were gifts galore and we all went to see The Wicker Man, which I thought was ok, and had a definite refreshing ending. Well re-ending as I’ve since found out from my Dad that it was a remake.

Anyhoo I should be onto the present with the next post.

  • Ah yes, our road trips and the singing of Foo Fighters and such adventures are far too epic for the likes of this blog. We are Scientists were cool and I had a strange liking for the 3 American girls supporting. They were very enthusiastic with their strange genre of music.

    good read jol, i wonder what the present update will include...maybe random abuse in leicester, superman viewage or the mighty road trip to see we are scientists in notts. although im sure our singing of foo fighters will never make us worthy entrys into pop idol, we obviously have talent.
    maybe an andy roo leaving psssss-up, hmmm your movement down the country, your current love affair with your new job ..... hmmm what will it happen, we all wait with baited breath.

    I was awaiting this update! I miss uni for sure but my life is pretty much on track now. Just got to make sure I manage to do interesting things other than work work work!

    I remember the old ps2 in first year halls. My ps2 is still packed away since I came home from uni though!!

    My birthday was almost the same day as yours as you know!
    When we both have time it would be good to catch up in person.
  • Ahoy James, Glad to see some more blogging going down :D
