Okay so I didn’t write a diary - but my trip was brilliant :D Photos are on facebook and a couple of videos are on my youtube channel (yeh, they’re really random and I don’t expect anyone to find them that funny, but you never know…)
It was lovely in the sun, although didn’t manage to tan…at all really, so I’ll just have to rock the not-that-pale-but-interesting-none-the-less look. We did have one night of rain, and a heavy, heavy downpour makes eating in an open air restaurant a soggy affair, but entertaining none the less.

It was also great just monging out in the apartment in the morning when we would all dive into one or other of our rooms and just crumple on the beds allowing our sleep fuddled brains to wake up very slowly and mumble vague plans for the day which usually involved either the beach or the pool and lots of salty crisps.

I enjoyed getting to know the girls in different ways and I feel that my friendship with them is stronger.
Thanks for the great times

Lotsa Love

This is my last post before I head out to Sunny Beach with the girls.
Man I never knew packing a suitcase was such an art! Packing for me has definatly been very stressful - I’m paranoid I havn’t got everything.
Having weighed my case, it weighs 13.9 kgs, so I’m perfectly under our 20kg limit - this means that should the fancy take me I can bring back a 6kg camel or something. How big are baby camels?
I’m kinda nervous about the whole thing - flying out and being all big and grown up. Is scary - I’m glad we have tourguide Kirstin. (well okay not tour guide but she’s been before and so has more clue than me Gem and Em.)

In other news - I am a lonelygirl15 obsessive. Yes I know, its finishing this August so I’m a bit behind the times, but its pretty cool. I wish I’d got caught up when it started in 2006 when people first thought it was real for a bit (kinda like I wish I’d found all the cloverfield viral stuff). That would have been fun. I’m currently on episode 213, and my favourate characters are Jonas (yes yes, because he is the hot one) and Sarah (because she isnt taking anything seriously) oh and of course I love P.Monkey, esp when directed by Sarah!

Half an hour before I leave for the air port - DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.
Maybe I’ll hand write blog posts (would that infact be called a diary! I think so) and upload them when I get back.
I’m taking a 2gb memory card so hopefully thats lots of photos and videos that I can bore you all with - other peoples holiday snaps can be the worst! But it is compulsary.

Wish us luck!

doveezhdahneh (that is the phonetic spelling of Bulgarian for goodbye!)

I found this amazing video.
He makes so many good points, this should be on the curriculum!

Yesterday the blugaria (yes I realise I’m calling it bLugaria rather than buLgaria) crew were out in full numbers for a shopping extravaganza (well almost…never mind the fact that none of us really had much money and in the morning Kirstin and Gemma were seriously in need of caffeine and then by the afternoon me and Emily were flagging)
It was wonderful fun and we even remembered to get off the bus in the morning when we got to the station (well only after sitting there for a few minutes before Emily exclaimed “You guys! Don’t we need to get off here?”)
We found rainbow high heels (which the stroppy bitches in the shop wouldn’t let us photograph - because we’re blatantly gonna steal the design) and I was amazed at the amount of babies there seemed to be - once you’d noticed one there seemed to be hundreds!

I spent this evening with my two riding buddies and we watched the Hickstead show jumping competition with the infamous derby bank (a 10′6″ high bank with a 60 degree decent which rider and horse have to plunge down and then make a huge jump two strides later) which was absolutely brilliant - a real nail biter right to the end when they had to do a ‘jump off’ (ie, the two who were joint first jump another course, and whoever does it fastest or with the least amount of fences knocked over - depending on which comes first, wins) and it was even more exciting because it was the winner of last years even and the winner of 2006 jumping against each other.

Today was also my three year anniversary. Woop! :D

P.s - Simon, this is your prize for the e-hug. :p Things will go better now I’m sure:
Everyone - Simon rocks and this is his mention.

“dun dun dunun dununnun! [secret agent music]Look look theres a squiril in the bin!”
“See, that squiril is laughing at all its mates right, ‘cos its got that sandwich and all they have is nuts!”

That was just a snippet of the observational genious from a rather soggy picnic in the park with the blugaria crew (obviously minus one member who has a social life that is organised and not just randomly thought of the evening before) . Also my rather tragic parking was once again shown up.

In other news, I took my broken glasses to be fixed (clever me actually broke the lense by standing on them…mmmhmmm thats just how I roll) and it cost me a bank breaking £42.50 to get ONE lense replaced. The frames are fine so what the hell they do for that £42.50 I really don’t know. They better come back covered in a thin layer of diamond or something. I guess that will teach me for being a klutz.

…I lie it wont…

:o 2 Posts in one day!?

OH MAH GOD I enjoyed riding so much today, and the reason why this needs a post is because I was showjumping! Yaaay!
Even more than that I was jumping uprights (jumps which have the poles laying horizontally, as opposed to cross poles where there are two poles layed across eachother to look luke a cross -> X) which scare me the most and I hseem to have a total mental block over them. Its ridiculous - I am very happy to jump cross poles pretty much any size, but uprights…just NO! However today I seem to have had some sort of epiphony and I approached every fence positivly (but at the same time at a reasonable and manageable speed that I chose rather than just letting Saxon have his own way) and absolutly nothing bad happened - its amazing what happens when you actually listen to your instructor whose telling you that no you will not die if you jump an upright and yes Saxon is perfectly capeable.
So its onwards from here and you never know, maybe with some fences that top 2′6″!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How could they do this to us?! They spend two series building up the Dr to who he is now and then just at the moment everyone has been waiting for since Rose and he were separated, and they go and get him to regenerate. Sodding Daleks
She found him. She travelled across universes and she spent every moment trying to get in contact with him, to warn him.
I love David Tennant as the Doctor - he’s dynamic and angst-ridden and I feel like in this manifestation the Doctors clearly horrific past has so much more of an effect on him. Yet at the same time, you can see how that past has made him love all life so desperately and how it drives him to keep on trying, absolutely no matter the circumstance.

Oh *sigh* yes and it does help that David Tennant is just a little bit hot.

Well someone complained that I hadn’t written about how me and Bertie were getting on so just to please them (oh I’m so obliging) I’ll do one.
I really enjoy the freedom it gives me and that it means I don’t have to fight my brother everytime I want to go on. I also like that I have a webcam inbuilt, even if it comes out crappy on skype, and that the microphone is inbuilt to. Thumbs up for convienience. Uhm, as to the actual workings etc, I have no idea if Bertie is good or bad or medium - he does the job and thats all that matters to me.

That was interesting

…So tired…such a long day
TIRED
But I thought I’d be a dedicated blogger and now I can sit on my bed and tap away I figured I might as well blog about my wonderful day at Thorpe Park with James, Tom and Laura.
So yeh, we didn’t get to drive down, but I guess the point is more that we got to go, so that didn’t really matter and there were loads of junctions and stuff that we had to avoid due to accidents and traffic so I was probably way less stressed as a result.
We went on Zodiac, Nemisis Inferno (twice), Samuari, Vortex, Slammer, Stealth…and two other rides which I don’t remember the names of…anyway, they were all lots of fun and I’m actually a bit proud that I went on them all seeing as I don’t really like the rides that are all spinny, and Vortex (as the name would suggest) and Slammer are pretty much the epitome of the spinny swoopyness that I find most scary. Although I was pretty much forced on to them under the threat of leg breaking so I guess its really not that much of an achievement when you consider the alternative.

At lunch, I had fishcakes (yummeh) but after that, I seem to have got painful raw patches on the roof of my mouth that made talking a little painful (and later on made me sound stupid because I was trying to avoid touching the roof of my mouth with my toungue, after a few hours of active toungue poking in my usual manner of refusing to just leave things alone - when will I learn?) So I was less than impressed because I do like to talk.

My favourate ride was probably Nemisis or Stealth - Nemisis has always been a favourate when I’ve been on a few school trips in the past, and I really enjoyed the shock and rush I got from the increadible speed Stealth reached in such a short amount of time. Highlight of the day was going on Vortex after an hours que of being terrified (with the comforting words of Tom ringing in my ears “Your head is going to explode!”) and then actually finding it not so scary after all. Another achievement against the demon of fear!

So good times were had by all.
I’ll say goodnight now before my sleep deprived mind wonders off topic.

ps - still no spell checker. Pft

Had my summer BBQ 2008 yesterday, and asides being slightly less organised to begin with than last year and having to get guests to do stuff, it seemed to go very well :)
The water fight was wicked fun even if at numerous points I was ganged up on or Comber just used the hose (cheat!) and the weather was great for it (if a little windy)
Thanks again to Tom for the cooking - better than me setting fire to the sausages…or myself…
Also thanks to James for taking some brilliant photos and some really funny videos :D

Lotsa Love
