So today my friend Melody leaves the Land of Eng for the Land of Wallabies and Koalas (sad face and a sigh)
I can't wait till she lands in Aussie, sleeps off her jet lag, sorts out her broadband and connects to skype where i can chat to her and find out all her news!
My housemate told me about this but i didn't believe her and so i went to my reliable and always ready keeper of all knowledge (Google) and looked it up and the first article i stumbled upon was this one.......
"Oh, woe is us -- the gloomiest time of the year is looming dead ahead. Stay under the covers and wallow in comfort food on Monday, Jan. 23 -- it's the most melancholy day on the entire calendar, at least said a British psychologist who backs his claims with a scientific formula.
Forget the Ides of March. Beware [W + (D-d)] x TQM x NA, cautions Cliff Arnall of the University of Cardiff in Wales.
"The formula uses six immediately identifiable factors: weather, debt, time since Christmas, time since failing our New Year's resolution, low motivational levels and feeling a need to take action," he said yesterday..............."
If you wanna read the rest of the article heres the url (sorry don't know how to post it as a link as i am bit slow :-)

I am assuming that this day is tuesday 23 for 2007. I hope your Tuesday is anything but gloomy! Try stay warm, as it is going to be very very very cold!!!
You will however be happy to know that we have only got 164 days to go. The happiest day is Friday, June 23 this year!
Why is it that people have the power or are able to make you question who you as a person, and make you unsure of yourself?
So the door bell rung.....well it was actually a knock on the door because we don't actually have a door bell. But i got a new toy in the post. My dear brother bought me an A3 printer. For those who are in graphics this is a very exciting thing and for those who aren't, this printer will basically let me print out big peices of work that are bigger than A4.
It is a bit of a danger because when i did not have a printer i used to wake up early, got to uni and work and print off stuff there but now i ACTUALLY don't have to leave the house!!! Going to have to be very very disciplined!!!!
Anyway so here it is in all its splendour!!! My Canon Pixma IX5000 and yes it does take up A LOT of space on my desk...try 3/4 of the desk! :-D
open printer
closed printer
So i've been back from in England for.........(just counting the days).....6 days it is and things are going swimmingly. I've been into uni for a 45 minute tutorial and that's it for the next week because our tutor is away next week so dont have to go into uni!! Crazy i tell you, also we have an extra week for our project which actually has to be the best thing ever!!
I've just got back from Mel's house. Went over for pizza with Ruth, Janine and Helen. The evening was filled with so many belly aching laughs and tear laughs. It was such a fun evening but on the other hand it was also a sad goobye evening (or a see you soon evening) because Mel is off to Australia on Tuesday which really sucks!! Am really going to miss her!
It is funny, i have been saying goodbyes for a while now to many a friend who have moved away. You think it would get easier, but it doesn't.
This got me thinking to how i used to think about the past and wished i had done things differently, spent more time with family and friends. But we all know you can't change the past (if you do know....share the secret :-) and so i am appreciating NOW more than ever! Like the vodafone strapline...."make the most of now." Also with my degree nearly coming to an end, i am just realising how important NOW is! Enjoying where you are in life, enjoying the friends you have in your life now and just enjoying! Whether all this thinking is me growing up or just a thought i don't know but if it is growing up i look forward to the rest of 2007 and growing up more......
I have been meaning to update my blog for a very long time and Owen gave me a reason to do so he blog-tagged me.
"The object of the game is to reveal 5 things about you, which most readers probably don't know, then nominate 5 friends to do the same."
Thing number 1
I wore braces (on my teeth not suspenders on my trousers) for 7 years of my life. My teeth were really messed up when i was little and so the dentist had to cut out my last milk tooth that was hanging on for dear life, to make space for my permanent teeth. I wore a retainer in junior school (which i lost many a time in the pool) then proceeded to wear railway tracks in high school (all i can remember was the pain when the orthodontist would tighten them!!). I still wear a retainer to bed to keep my teeth straight!
Thing number 2
When i was 12 we had a guard dog that we only used to let out at night after everyone was home. And the one night it was let out early. I came home (in zim), got out of the car and the dog came for me....i remember standing then suddenly being on the ground. I was rushed to hospital and the wound was bound. Then i came to visit my sister, who was at Bristol university at the time when my wound went funny, i was rushed to hospital in Bristol where they had to operate on me. I had dead skin tissue so my wound wasnt healing. Thye left me with a mssive scar and 12 massive stitches on my leg! All of this happened over Christmas day!
Thing nmber 3
Now this one is a very recent one. i used to hate gerkins but during the summer when i was visiting my brother i was watching the food network and a programme came on tv, on how gerkins are made! THEY ARE JUST pickled BABY CUCUMBERS!! i SO didn't know that till i watched the programme! Now i like gerkins! hahaha
Thing number 4
I can play the harmonica. Is it geeky? well some people might say it is but i dont think so :-) I am trying to teach myself how to play the blues!
Thing number 5
I have six toes on one foot! Grosse hey! ahahh KIDDING!! (i'm struggling to think of the last thing people won't know about me! )
Oh okay here's one. Out of my siblings (two older sisters and two older brothers) I was the only child born in Zimbabwe. Although we all live in Zimbabwe now. My family lived in Zambia for a while before i was born then moved to Zimbabwe in 1983 then i came into the world in !984!
There we have it folks, hopefully 5 intresting facts you did not know about me.
I now have to struggle as i dont actually have 5 other people to tag so will do as man as i can think of!!
I Blog-Tagg: STEVE CLARKE, JESS, DAN, and any other two people that re reading this and have a blog!!
