Yeah, it was been a long time, i had hoped to update before i went away and when I knew if i was going to Memma's 17th birthday. sadly i was not and it took a few days to really relax about it. I had hoped to see the gang before i went away to cyprus, but trips up there will need to wait untill august it seems.

Although I can't exactly do an LJ blog without mentioning the Huntingdonshire group ^-^ it seems i was in attendance at Memmas 17th in someway ^-^. I promised I would call them, Debs phone was off and memma left her, bless em. Debs came to my rescue and called me, which promoted me to go online =D and there Memma was, and we had a brief chat, it resulted in a picture of me taken =P online thanks to Debs, which i happily present here. ^-^

Needless to say i was very touched by that, so i offer my huge thanks to both Debbie and Memma for that =) it was really kind and touching, and i will be around for your 18th's partys, both of them, i swear :)

In other news around the boring place otherwise known as yate, im still learning to drive, so im stepping up my lessons so i can learn to drive quickly, my results day is on the 16th, so im scared of that. I went to see Die Hard 4 on saturday, and that was a load of fun, funny and action pakced, Bruce Willis seems to know how to pull it off still.

Packing for my holiday as well, got to bring my iPod, nwo i have managed to fully restore my iTunes Library. Took me Frikkin ages mind you. stupid viruses. Although i've been questing with Kate on WoW, so it's been nice to do something with her again, even if shes not happy with her Tauren character XD

anyway, this will most lilely be my last entry untill i leave for Cyprus on the 13th till the 29th, so i shall see you all soon, and i will give Debs and Memma both a call each to see how things are in the meantime :)

bye bye!!! =)

I was given a stark reminder of this yesterday. I was going to do a post a few days ago, inspired by something Katie Stuart had put in her latest entry, but a conbination of a fussy LJ, and fatigue forced me to save it, and then something else happened, so here is an update for you all to look at.

yesterday, the suprising and stupid happened, i caught a virus, and a nasty one at that. I was not sure how I got it, but before long i lost access to everything i had, and i was forced to run n safe mode to give me some space. It was my own fault for not being smart enough to update my anti-vrius programming, and i paid the price. I was forced to do a complete system restore, taking my computer back to it's settings when i first got it. >.<. The embarressment was ten-fold, all my saved games were gone, my iTunes too, and many pictures of which i will not see again. So i was punished for my huge mistake, so if any of you read this, i encourage you to check your anti-virus and spyware programs and keep them updated, or you may end up like me, feeling like your out of everything.

Although, im optimistic as I can recover a lot of what I had done. Most saved games i had not bothered with on my games, so i will relish the chance to get stuck back into Medal of Honour or Command and Conquer 3 again. WoW i ned not worry about. Football Manager I never got into, although on an older version i had a Bristol Rover team i spent 6 seasons with >.< so some hard work is gone. The pictures i did get lucky with. I had many saved on other sources such as my PSP or my Myspace, most of which were wallpapers and pictures from Huntingdon, although i lost a few Huntingdon pics, me and Debs had saved many on other sources. Debs was quite helpful, as she normally was, I had called her up earlier and we had a nice chat, it was nice to speak to my lil sis again! ^-^ and she has Credit on her mobile! =D. When i was panicking about the virus, she presented me with some new pics on her deviantart, which calmed me down, and im glad that many memories of my visits with her have not been lost, in fact a few more are downstairs so i can recover those =) Debs, you really helped me out, and im forever in your debt and greateful! Youyr just the most amazing friend ever! love ya Lil Sis!

The only other thing which i was sad to lose was the Star trek Theme Kate put on my computer 2 years ago. I had been so used to it, and now it was gone, as well as many other Star trek images. So im sorry it had to go like that Kate. =(, but hey, if you get an hour, maybe you can trekify my PC again! =D, we can have a laugh and catch up ^-^

so yes, im getting back to normal, im laughing it off, so lets look to the future

Keep the faith guys

My first update of May, and sadly it's not a good one.

reason, im fustraited beyond all end, i have been slaving away on a DT project all week trying to get it finished, and i finally did this morning, after constant work since monday! >.< A-Levels are so demanding and these last 2 years have really taken a toll on me. No matter what i seem to try, i just can't fit in. I wonder if it comes from living in a shitty boring town, having people who don't really get you, and people who won't help you to fnd your place down here. I've said ti before, and i will say it again, I wish i lived in Huntingdon. Up there it;s like family, debbie understands me and has helped me introduce me to a lot of people up there, and i've kept in touch with Si, Liam, Abz, Emma, Hel and Mousie. It's much mroe understanding there and much more open and friendly. Down in sodding Yate it's like a wall which stops me dead, and the walls an unlucky wall which stops me from just having some nice things happening in Yate, Huntingdons a lucky and happy place.

But i can't live there yet, im feeling like im stuck in a dead end at times with no chance of escape, i just want to find something to twist and curl up and just vent my anger on, im not talking about murder, like getting one of those plastic bottles and beating that up. I want to call Debbie, but shes with Liam and im not sure if i want to bother her or not. I can't take being stuck here. I have messed so many things up. I have no-one to love imtimatley, no-one who can cuddle up to me and whisper to me, no-one to be there to support me and to try and keep me calm. I have not been able to express myself. I;ve been forced to bottle everything up and this is the result, massive outbursts which i can't control anymore. Im trying to have a successful life. But what goods that if i have no-one to love, nothing to keep me going or nothing to help keep me occupied.

a Little update to make sure everything is going swimmingly.

Got most of my pictures from Huntingdon onto myspace today, and so that ment a nice long chat with Debbie ^-^ so that means a good relaxing evening chatting to my lil sis ^-^. Shes updated hers too, with the lovely line.

"because once you can do nothing with friends, you know they're a good friend to have ^-^"

So true, we could just met up, relax, and it would still be a fun happy, funny time :) It's seeing Debbie after all ^-^. Although i reckon we out to make the X-Men films with our commentry like we did on saturday XD i bet they will be hits, and Debbie has the one true vision :P so they ought to sell out.

schools going well, got a bit tense for some reason, really odd, but coping well, revising for exams now :P

well thats it for today, just updating :)

Keep the faith friends

Bye ^^

Apr. 22nd, 2007 @ 09:30 pm A wonderful weekend.

My, the best weekend i have had for a while. let me describe to you all :)

I guess it begins with friday. The day of my car theory test, I had been revising for it like mad the past week, and my family had returned form holiday. dad dropped me off at the place once we found it, and i took a deep breath and entered, i remember all the advice given to me, and i did my best.

I passed. =D

So that was out of the way, the family was over the moon. I returned home, and packed my bags for my trip.

Yepp, i was on my back to Huntingdon to see a good friend, who is now so much like a sister to me that i consider her part of the family, yepp, i was off to see the brilliant Debbie, and to meet Liam for the first time. I had been nervous about meeting him, since i wanted to make a good impression and have no problems, luckily my fears were not to come true =) I had an uneventful journey, and Liam is a wonderful guy! =) He was so easy to talk to, good to laugh along with and chat about anything. He and Debs and lucky to have each other, and it felt like i had known him for years, Debs said he felt the same, and me and Liam are united in the common cause, and we both have Debbie has a strong precense in our lives, for Liam, shes a wonderful girlfriend to him, they care about each other, and it was good to see two people so happy, and as i said, Debs is like a sister to me ^-^ and i feel so glad to know her :)

So we took a detour thanks to roadworks, and went to the shop i bought a robe from :P and browsed, then i did my "Mocha on me." thing and got Debs and Liam Mocha each, sadly Costa had no cookies, but i got Debs a Chocolate muffin she seemed to like :), after i got some drinks and more enrgy, we went back to debs house, and chilled out, watched Kerrang or Scuzz, and disscussed ideas and history for stuff on XMR, while her bro fired stuff at us :P i got hit in the eye but i was fine, then we dined on pizza and chips and went back to TV, we had an X-Men marathon and that ment showing Liam X2, which he enjoyed, although X3 is the best one, and we took the piss out of Cyclops, :P i found out reecently that the girl who played Kitty Pryde (<3) in X2, an actress called Katie Stuart, had an LJ, i have seen it, and i really enjoyed reading it, it was a fascinating read :) and she sounds so mature and down to earth when i read it, i would like to get to know her a bit more :) i might add her to friends, not just because shes an actress and played my favorite X-Men, but simply as i found it such a nice read that i would love to find out more about her ^-^. hopefully, thats not too creepy, :)

I slept on the sofa that night, quite a comfy one too, woke up briefly about half 8 and saw Debs brother, who thought i had gone home :P, i went back to bed and woke up when debbie came down, we chatted for an hour, and it was nice to be able to do that :) we sang along to Tenacious D :P and i changed the line "Me and my brother Kyle." too "Me and my sister Debbie." :P Liam woke up so i tidied up the living room while debbie sqw to him, and we went to see Debs Horderide, and shes good, i always wanted to see her horseride and she can do it, shame Tyson was raring to go, he broke into trot every chance he got, Debs handled it like a pro i felt :) I also chatted with liam, much like i did with Debs earlier :) we returned home and sat and watched TV for a bit, i took some piccys which i will post on myspace or XMR when i can.

Sadly, i did not want to go, i held on till the last minute, we took a group shot, and i left with 25 minutes till my train, I almost forgot my phone but Liam caught up and gave it back, I had to run to my train, which ment debs might have seen my dart off, i hope she was not offended, i hate trains, they cause me to panic. I got there just as it pulled up =( i hope that Debs and Liam did not think i wanted to get away, Huntingdon is a great place and i really wish i could live there, but one day i shall, as Debs, Si, Liam, Hel and the others feel so much like family, I hugged Debbie twice and promised me and Athina will come up so we can all go camping together, man i wish i could just stay there, i love it there, no-one complains to me or judges me, it's all welcming and friendly, and this time nothing went wrong :) i can leave with a bigger smile as it was a flawless trip, no poor body language or silly drunkenness, a perfect weekend.

it was not over mind, i had to take an unfamiliar route home, thanks to the roadworks i was running most of the time, i had to catch a bus to Brimingham, which went well, i even helped a pregnant woman with my bags, i made it about an hour early :P so Debs was having a barbicue :P i wish i could have stayed, and got home later. But i could not have got another train =( But i made ti home safly and caught up with Doctor who, the Daleks were back.

So yes, a good weekend i could only wish was longer so i could stay with Debs and Liam, but it was great, and it was nice to meet a new friend and catch up with a very good one who i will know forever, debbie was reading my mnd a lot, i could tell she was snooping :P but it's not like i mind, she does her own thing ^-^ I look forward to coming back again, and this time i will not have aything to worry about,. esxpecially trains i need to run for ;) Maybe when i need to work in industy for a year i will pick Huntingdon, more time with the best friends an autistic kid could hope for, and so it;s a high standard met =)

so, untill next time, keep the faith friends ^-^

bored, so i needed something to do.

Revising for my driving test, which is next friday in the morning, i do hope i can pass this one, tests have been really shitty to me, and some good lukc should come my way. So im in school a lot also using that time to revise for my exams there. Since they show up in a month, and i hope i pass these too, im fed up of exams and poor luck, i just want to get to University and start afresh, a clean slate.

I broke up with my missus after two weeks, which was hardly suprising, i did not enjoy time with her, she did not take any initiative at all, hardly ever, when i was with Kate at least she could try to pipe up with ideas which ment a lot, she she was like a Kindred spirit, not with Gemma, i spoke ot her for 45 minutes about these issues, she only spoke for about 10 seconds, i took Debs advice about waiting and seeing, and Gemma still let me down. IM AUTISTIC PEOPLE!!!! it means my imagination is crap, i don't open up, i might not pay attention well in umfamiliar teritiry, i need the other person to open up to me so i can become easier going around them, why can;t i just find a girl who is understanding and tries to guide me along, im stuck otherwise =(. what gets me down is the general lack of awareness of autistics, it's like we are a different race and therefore suspicious, mankind never learns. Except for a select few.

Finally got my trai tickets to see Debs and Liam up in Huntingdon, damm Amazon had no gambit in stock, Debs has assured me it's ok, but i will get her and Si some chocolate, since they are such good friends and deserve it, sometimes i wiush i could live near those guys, they have been the few constants in my life, and have not once yelled at me, or gotten mad or walked out, they have always listened to me, and opened up to me. £ years is a long time for me to have friends, and im proud to call them sister and brother, as they are like family. Somtimes i wish i could get a picture of Me, Athina, Debs, Si and Liam, make 5 copies and frame them each, so we all have one, friends forever i hope. =) the train tickets for some reason threw me, on the way back, i take the train to Petergrough, the Bus to Birminghan, then the train to Cheltenham and then to Yate, this has set off alarm bells in my head, im not familiar with those places, so i hope im fine, or else im panicking and spending the night at a train station >.<

ok, i have ranted, see you all soon, someone comment =P

Shit it's been a while, i have not vented in so long, i guess i need to open up my shell once again for all those to enjoy. ^-^ well if you find my ramblings a turn on XD just kidding =)

well, not much going on in the britton household, the family is going on holiday next tuesday, so i get 2 weeks all to myself, ^-^ it's going to be fun, and the peace and quiet shall do me a world of good, i can chill out, and simply do what i like, perhaps i should get me a bottle of vodka and have a private party XD/

The only issue is that i can't go see Arsenal play, as i would need to shell out tons of money for trans, and there are a few home games i can go to, but then again, i will have the chelsea game to go to during may, so i won't moan, the rest will do me good. On another note, i met a girl called Gemma on a trip to Rileys,she was a friend of a friend, i asked her out and she said yes, now i seized the moment, but now im starting to regret it, for the record i never go after girls just for sex as i like meaningful relationships, and Gemma just is not cutting it, when we want to get romantic, it's well, shite, and i can't be open to her, there just is no emotional connection, and everything feels like a chore =( Debbie has advbised me on my problems as she always does, and very well too, and so im going to give it time, although it looks like this relationship is doomed to faliure. I just need to move on.

Trying to put this behind me, next month i will be returing to Huntingdon to see the one and only Debs, i promised a visit around Easter, and im not dissappointing her, im also bringing gambit with me =P and im sure she will bounce around the town in a dream, Love ya lil Sis! ^-^ In a way, i wish i lived in Huntingdon, as yate holds some pretty bad memories, i don't hate my parents, but all the friend i have up there are trustworthy, and have never let me down when i need them, and i felt more at home where, everyone was so welcoming and made me feel like a part of things. =) i get sad when i go, as i don't want to go lol. but i look back at my last trips up there with great fondness and happiness ^-^

anyway, i've ranted, bye!!
