Yeah.

Thankyou (:

Obi.

It basically means that I've been accepted into Stirling. I don't definitely want to go there yet mind, as my first choice was Strathclyde where I got a conditional for (and two others). Basically, the conditional means I have to get the grades this year that they ask for if I'm to be accepted a place.

Even if that all that doesn't happen, I'm confirmed Stirling to fall back on .

Obi

I've cheered up a bit now. Got an unconditional into Stirling Uni with conditionals for ac ouple of others. Less work now

And thanks.

Obi.

School is seriously killing me. >.> I came home today and went straight to bed. It's just too cold for education.

Btw, you have MSN?

Obi

yeya. Only just joined.

So much studying I should be doing really! But I waste all my time on the Muse board

Obi.

My Mum probably hasn't played a game in her life...but it's all my Dad does pretty much so yeah .

I'ma have a go at the paint jazz today when I have the time. School tomorrow . Really can't be bothered.

Obi.

I do now. I joined recently . You replied to my problem topic so thank you.

Embarassingly I still play Ps2 quite often with the family. Tis about the only thing we do together now.

My 3510 lasted me about 5 years . I technically traded it for a phone in worst condition actually - it has a crack on the screen and a speck jammed into it

Btw, is it worth getting photoshop do my mad astronaut helmeted highland cow? Or would Paint be more hilarious?

Obi.

Haha, brilliant! I might have a go at the astronaut idea indeed.

It's a Nokia 3120, an upgrade on last year for me (a 3510 ) . Aren't I hip and cool?

PS2 I've had since I was 12. It has some of my favourite games on it still - SSX Tricky . Was never a nintendo kid really but then I never had the chance.

Obi.

Thaw your body.

Nicely said. Btw, my phone doesn't even have a camera, so don't worry about lack of internetz. In fact, I'm sort of weird like that. I didn't even use my phone for years and now that everyone's sort of moved onto something new, I've gone back and started using my old phone all the time. I dunno why. Still sweating it out on the Ps2 as well - none of this new generation rubbish . The world moves too fast!

My friend has an iPhone and it just has everything on it.

Obi.

(btw, do you have any ideas for a futuristic avvie? I've gone into Highland Cow obssession mode)

Mine's the 80 gig iPod classic. Substance over style is what I say . I've not even filled half of it and I've had it two years!

And I didn't know dressing gown was just a British thing but there you go.

-23 degree celsius - that's actually freeeeeeezing. I cannot complain since the worst we had was minus 12. Although I wasn't very well dressed for it (and it's quite rainy/cold all year around here).

It's only like a gear4 sort of thing but I <3 it.

Dressing gown = like dressing robes that you wear before showering/getting dressed and stuff. Know what I mean?

-13 fahrenheit? I'll have to work that out in celsius because that sounds freezing.

Obi

I got a stereo system for lé iPod and it sounds EPIC when I put a riffy band on (stockholm syndrome *cough*).

And a dressing gown which I asked for .

Good luck getting to Wembley btw. Is it cold over where you are? It's been freezing here for 3 weeks.

Obi.

Suppy!

I had a good Christmas. I still have lots of study to do now though . Only a few months til I finish school. Terrifying!

What about you? Did you get anything interesting?

Obi.

My drum kit is getting new cymbals, a double bass pedal and other goodies.

My statement isnt off yet but I'm getting more of it done now.

And suggestions? Amplifier . Riffage

Aha. We have American friends in our church who were shocked that we don't celebrate thanksgiving. Very nice sentiment though. We're having a party for it - it'll be my first official thanksgiving.

Thanks for the advice on the statement! I'm also hoping to do, well, English at Uni. Perhaps Journalism/Creative Writing too if I get into Strathclyde.

And your rant was epic . I have to agree that their ganging up on CarrieB was OTT, from what I saw. I dunno what sparked it off really, perhaps the setlist thread, but even after she sort of "made peace" they kept joking about and teasing. It was like watching school children to be honset - quite cringey = /

Umm...well, other than UCAS, I've been improving mah drum kit . And listening to way too much music. I just ordered all of Oceansize's albums I don't have on Amazon yesterday, dunno if you've heard them. Actually I've no idea what other bands you like! Other than the mighty Muse obvz.

We don't get the mark til May o.o lolz

I'm sure I'll be okay, it's other parts of the course (and the other courses I'm worried about). All the UCAS Uni stuff is stressing me out - like how to write a personal statement. Don't spose you have any tips

How are you? I saw you MLK/Gandhi-like efforts in the controversy thread and I totally agree.

Yep. o.o

More like 6 hours but yeah...and the railway system here is crazy stupid.

Sounds like the wild, wild west

And the trains sort of run...but not very often.

Well, we do have a couple of shops but Glasgow is just so far. I do have to plan the entire day - I have to get the train n' all

Barely any shops here. The nearest HMV is 3 hours away from where I live .

Plus Woolworths shut down which was like an institution here!

I live at a port to the Scottish islands.

It's about the only exciting thing about my town.
