March 02 i'd do anything..this time exactly last year i was on my way from london heathrow to bangkok. me and koo had left london at 9.30pm ready to embark on a 16hr flight to thailand as our first destination...
i would, at this moment in time, do anything to be on that flight again.
my travels opened my eyes to many things...i would try and explain but only the true traveller would understand..i could tell you so many adventures i had, the people i met, the things i saw, even things i experienced but my words would mean nothing unless you have been there and done it..even got the t-shirt!
i remember arriving at bangkok thinking..what have i done?...where am i?...and complaining that my backpack was leaving red marks on my shoulders and we hadnt even got to our first destination..little would i realise that my bag would be the lightest now than it ever would.
to be the almost the other side if the world and not know where you were going or who to turn to has to be one of the most scaring yet thrilling experiences ive ever had...
i never really understood what travelling meant..i mean i had heard stories from friends who had been..they had talked so passionately about it yet i hadnt picked up on it..they told me where to go, places i would love, places i would hate yet had to experience, places i would want to leave as soon as i got there but would want to go back to as soon as i left..however thay forgot to inform me of the 'travellers community' that i was yet to even hear of.
i warn you now..as a lone traveller you are anything but...
people see you dont have an accomplice and go over to talk to you..little do you realise that the time you were spent wishing you could make friends was now time you wish you had to yourself. as a lone traveller you have to make time to be alone rather than try and not spend time alone.
other travellers are the best friends you will ever make..they will look out for you without expecting anything back...it will, quite possibly, be the only time you will ever meet them in your life but the impact they make on it will mark your memories forvever. some you will keep in contact with, others will mearly be but a picture in your mind and a conversation in the future...
no one truly understands travelling unless they have been there themselves..
February 19 Bear's day out...bonjour! oui, you will find that the occasional french word has found its way in here..i have taken up the language of love again and had immediately been transported right back to school again...
 well..valentines day has been and gone..my first one at home. you see i always manage to avoid these kind of days by skiing or something but surprisingly i had awesome day and an even better evening!
special mention to partrick..he shares his birthday with the infamous st val
 ...meeting in the union for half a yard and i believe that when i left, touchcup was coming into play...many happy returns patrick and i hope u had a jolly good day!  well, i offically had my first date with bear tusday night..a very nice resturant in gunwharf then back to the caveau.. you did good bear..sorry about the lateness of your pressie but i hope it was worth it! enjoy..
anyway, off to blighty brighty brighton yesterday for bears extended valentines and a general payback to the lads for wiping out tescos when we had mental revision breakdown the night before our exam..much appreciated!
 anyway the surprise of taking them to brighton would have worked wonderfully if it wasnt for jo giving the ticket man the return ticket (we were on our way there) and him kindly informing us and every other person in the carriage that we were heading back to brighton and if we wanted portsmouth we were going in the wrong direction...
williyum: 'so were are going to brighton then..?'
anyway, although the destination may have been discovered we still had one more surprise left..off the the sealife centre we went!!
to be honest i think i was more excited than bear but i do believe he fell in love with a huge white catfish..
bear: 'he's my favourite' *whilst staring really hard doing his usual tounge thing*
after witnessing the turtles and crabs getting 'busy' (i think it must have been been mating season) on to the beach we went..
while the boys were trying to knock out seagulls with pebbles, anna and jo decided that it was moony time..so scaring away all the little children in brighton and some snap happy pictures (on the blog) we went on to the pier..
after a few knockout rounds of air hockey, bear - one point! and the dodgems it was fish and chips time...
unfortunatly this was the only dissapointing bit of the day..pompey fish and chips the other night were definately better. however i did manage to find huss for my dad.
back to maggie rule it was for scalelectrics and my dinner to be cooked by the bear..hmmm
all in all a fab day out
February 09 oh how i miss...miss bananna...what an awsomonious house parrtay on friday night!! much consumption of alcohol by all i believe..
so..much of saturday was spent recovering in bed and preparing for that night for jenny's 21st birthday at her house!
just as we got to jenny's we were told that we were going to the union - me and jo had just got a taxi from the union and did fancy getting one back straight away so carried on drinking benjamin and william's beers and took a stroll back home and found ourselves at the union!!
after some crazy ass dancing with the snow crew we took ourselves home wondering how we had got drunk off so little but realizing that we had drank cider, beer, champagne, snakebite, wine and vodka...
i firmly believe that the best parties are those thrown at peoples houses..u cant beat a true house party, all the more, a true pompey house party!!
 anyway..when is the next one miss bananna??
decided to come home for a few days..theres only so much pompey drinkin stylee i can hack with 3weeks off uni. so went down the pub with the girls last night and down the pub again with the boys tonight!! then back to pompey friday for either jongleurs or union flat rate!!
that one im leaving up to miss kitty..!!
February 03 fish and chipswhoo..exams over with for now! but considering revision consisted mainly of 'princess pat' and the origins of clementines im thinking theres a high possibility of seeing the exam paper again in the summer...
 so, to celebrate the last exam we went to the union for good old purple wednesday..after far too many snakebites and somehow staggering home i woke up to find id given myself a black eye and couldnt make it out for the surpise me and jo had planned for the lads..
unfortunatly i can say what the plan entailed as we have now postponed it until next thursday but i will keep u posted.
instead, myself, bear, jo, willy, andrex, patrick and holly decided to go to southsea to fly my kite and play ball
 however there wasnt any wind so the kite stayed in its cover but did have many giggles playing with winnie the pooh and popeye..
having hangover munchies i wanted fish and chips..determined to get what i wanted i dragged bear, jo and willy around portsmouth until we found one! first proper fish and chips from pompey..fantastic..sat on the bench in the park and munched away and did my good deed of the day and gave the rest of my chippies to the homeless guy under the bridge..
off to miss bananas party later and then jenny's 21st tomorrow
 ..maybe not so much snakebite tonight...January 29 just a normal revision session..abbuth says: how do clemetines grow if they dont have seedsWill says: well there a sort of orange, so i guess they grow Will says: off a tree abbuth says: but how to they keep reproducing if they dont have seeds.. abbuth says: come on will i thought u were intelligent Will says: lol abbuth says: Will says: well...... this is the same as seedless grapes abbuth says: im listening..... Will says: what happens is they spray the plant with a special chemical that makes it believe that it has the right stuff to make a seed in side it, but it doesnt, thus produsing a Clemetine with out a seed. Will says: there is also one other possibility abbuth says: yes... Will says: well........... Will says: they could do selective breading abbuth says: oh dear ..think im starting to regret ever asking... Will says: lol Will says: well what they do is they find teh clemetines with the least amount of seeds in them and mate them together (the way plants mate not sue whats that called) with ones that also have the least amount of seeds. thus making a clemetines with less seeds, this is then repeated abbuth says: thanku little encyclopedia..now carry on with whatever u were doing... abbuth says: ps abbuth says: would u like a lecture on motivation and group behaviour Will says: sounds interesting abbuth says: weseem to be going slightly krazzzyyyy in each others company Will says: lol,m abbuth says: did u know that a clementine skin is exactly perfect to fit inside a milkyway yoghurt pot thrown from a distance ...

a black man walks into a cafe early one morning and noticed that he was the only black man there.
as he sat down he noticed a white man behind him.
the white man said "coloured people are not allowed here."
the black man turned around and stood up. he then said,
"when i was born i was black
when i grew up i was black
when i am sick i am black
when i go into the sun i am black
when i am cold i am black
when i die i will be black..
but you sir...
when u are born you are pink
when you are sick you are green
when you go into the sun you turn red
when you are cold you turn blue and
when u die you turn purple..
and you have the nerve to call me coloured."
the black man then sat back down and the white man walked away..
..erase racism
a rather strange time..well, i have had a rather strange time since being back home. firstly i meet so many people who i havent seen since school (were talking 4 years here) then my best friend gets engaged, someone has got married, a few of my other friends have gone to london and have set up their own record label ('from the ground up' - drum n bass i think if anyone is interested) another is drumming in london with the likes of chad from RHCP and the dude from deep purple.... the list goes on but its nice to know that everyone is finally doing something with their lives. its just weird to think ive known these people since i was 11/12 yrs old and now weve all grown up...well, some of us!  anyway, just to add to the strangeness, i met up with my ex bf to get a few of my things back and we ended up down the pub having a few drinks and getting on really well..then i looked up and my other ex walked in who i was meant to 'call back' a long time ago!! deciding that we were getting on unusually well my ex decided that we should go out for dinner before i left for pompey, so last night we did, only we got to the pub and spent so long talking that by the time we came to order food they had stopped serving..so onto the catonese for take-away. this was strange because it was always something we did when we were together, we even ordered 'the usual' and ended up talking long into the night. from that night we discovered that, we should never have gone out in the first place, we would have made fab best mates, we really didnt love each other half as much as we thought and officially we were never really going out, i never asked him and he never asked me! ok so forget the last point, that was just to make things better but its good now. much better than before. so back to mighty mighty pompey tomorrow..yey..for a huge PARTAAYYYY..whoo.. dont want to forget the good olde disposable  now that the digi one is broken so unfortunately they wont be able to go on the blog, well unless...''gavin..?''guys, er..i have invited quite a few peeps... January 01 2006 eh...it may well be 2006 but ive still got that fuzzy head that i get at uni after a big night out, the only difference being im not left to sleep, my parents just woke me up telling me i should get my body clock back in order...wrong day mum, try me tomorrow.
 anyway last night was interesting. spent it with lots of people i hadnt seen in a very long time, strange to have everyone together when they have all grown up. some people have changed but most of them are just the same! apparently i have shrunk too ironic considering i have grown an inch. (for those who dont know me i am quite short and an inch is a lot)
so, new year started down the bowler with the rents, was celebrated down the olde mint with friends and a few party poppers then on to the bull for a lock-in. managed a few more drinks there but had to go home...couldnt take anymore cider.
the best thing about not seeing people for so long is that they all want to buy you a drink (or 2) so 9 pints of cider, far too many cigarettes and £2 later there is me staggering home by myself on the phone to Mr Bear and his mates.
upon hearing that they were having a cup of tea i thought this would be a good idea.
i woke up this morning to a full cup of cold tea, dressed in clothes i didnt go out in but dont know how i got in still trying to figure out if im drunk or just very hungover.
new year resolution...to give up smoking...happy bear?? December 31 last day of the yearwell, my last adventures of this fine year included driving to leicester, crimbo shopping, then my house then reading, to get drunk and visit kat and alec then leicester to pick up gavin then mine to go ice skating then reading again to get drunk and meet more people then leicester then mine! ta da ...
last week us pompey rangers went to val d'isere in france skiing and (trying to) snowboard. had the time of my life, wouldnt everyone agree..?!! so to all you guys, aaron sophie jenny dave (fafit!) ian, steveo, charlie, charlie, taffy, and everyone else i have failed to mention, cheers for a fab time!
the silly things we got up to like going out dressed in practically nothing, bin bag night, sexy santa night, shaving off peeps eye brows and that nasty nasty game on fondue night...etc.. have some fab photos if my camera ever works again so you wil have to keep an eye out for them!!
saving my pennies for next year...
now im just off to the pub for new year. didnt think i was going to have a very exciting new year this time as my friends are either working or going to places that need a ticket and abbuth here left it too late to get one so the next best option was the rents and their mates!! lol !! (luckily i get on with them fabulously)
well to my surprise loads of my mates are gonna be out!! yey!! so not only do i get to see them but im also with my rents which means...free drinks...all night....ha ha
oh happy happy days.....la la la la de la la
happy new year to you all
mwah
December 30 here we go...ah ha! i have one of these msn my space do dah things..
i am trying to overcome my technophobia, think i have come on leaps and bounds since starting uni! see, at least there will be one good thing that comes out of parents spending lots of money.
so..ive never really heard of blog spaces but people always talk about random adventures they have so here goes..
welcome to the life of abbuth.. if you will just follow me
