Oooh crikey, the rugby has just got very interesting. by some miracle England are through to the final. We've gone from losing to South Africa 36-0 in the group stages, to standing a chance of retaining our title... I have no idea how this happened but all credit to the boys. The only problem is I'm away next week for the final, we'll be staying in a hut with no TV, one might have to come with us....
The game wasn't not pretty, and certainly not recommended as one to watch if you didn't have an interest in who won, but as a fan it had me on the edge of my seat, and there were some decent passages of play.
Also of interest was that I just caught the end of the Crystal Maze, as a child I loved this programme, Channel 4 repeated on More 4 as a celebration that they're turning 20, and now I just want the show back.... any TV execs out there?

It's over
It's official, Lex and I are no longer going out. Probably more his decision than mine, I was content to muddle along and see what happened, but that was giving Lex problems. So we've decided that breaking up is probably for the best. I won't say it's been easy, but in reality very little changes. We're still living together, we're still each others best friends, but as i said in an earlier post, the passion has gone.
and the daftest thing, it's taken me 3 days to manage to change my relationship status on Facebook!

do I have to be a grown up?
As you might have gathered things are not going great in the relationship stakes at chez hilltop. It's hard to work out where all the passion has gone. I am not going to go in to details as people who see me in real life read this, but it just seems like we're more best friends who live together than anything else. Hmmmmm crikey relationships are hard work.
Anyway, as ever further developments will go on here, after all, I "speak" to you lot more often about this stuff than anyone else. I decided last night that I no longer have a female best friend. Not in the sense of a person you share everything with anyway. I have no idea if this is good or bad, I don't really know if I miss it, or if it's just me. I just like to keep things private, having conversations about these sorts of things is very hard for me!
Right enough being a misery, I've just realised I failed to comment on the rugby! Somehow against all odds England beat Australia, and also France beat New Zealand. For those of you who don't follow rugby, this is meaningless drivel, but they were such unexpected results, and quite who will win the tournament is now a bit of a mystery. Apart from the argument on Saturday, I had a great day watching 2 really great games of rugby.
Guiding is getting interesting, I've just taken on the role of District Commissioner, but basically I'm now "in charge" of 11 other units. I sort out forms for new helpers, and sign camp forms, chairing meetings, and responsible for making sure all the information from county gets to them! Gulp! My own unit is actually going ok. We're making a calendar over this term, basically doing 2 months at a time and decorating it, and at the end of term I'll hopefully have put it all together, and they get a calendar. The ones we've done actually look pretty snazzy!

Men...
I know 2 posts in a day, but I need to vent!
You could say I'm having man trouble, Lex and I just had a big row. Basically we're both overworked, too tired and I'm ill. All quite a dangerous combination. Was the usual couple argument really, I'm sick of him making a mess and not tidying it up; I don't feel leaving his post on the coffee table for week is on; he hates me tidying up after him, and says he can look after himself! I'm sick of doing all the cooking and washing, and washing up, he deals with that resentment in a very manly way, with humour. And yep you've guessed it, that makes me madder!
As a result he's stormed out to the "do" he's off to tonight, with me in a most attractive way screaming "why don't you just f$%k off", I know I'm not proud of it, but read the first sentence for justification. I'll end up apologising, I always do, but christ I could cheerfully wring his neck right now.

The lurgy
I have the dreaded lurgy. So it's freshers week, lots of new germs mixing, it's to be expected! Ok acceptance over, why is my cold worse than everyone else's, I've managed to drag myself down to university for the last 2 days, but dear god, dragging myself back up the hill was horrible.
I'm sick of food not tasting, I can't even taste a cup of tea! and the snot, yeah gods the snot.... we'll stop there before the few people that read here decide never to visit again, even if for some of them I know more about their crotch than I really want, yes I'm talking to you Eliza.
Anyway I need to go and find some more tissues, and try to work out how many Guiding meetings I'm going to next week (3 I think), and actually do some work to keep up with my uni course.
So of course I'll actually watch some more TV, and wander round the internet for another couple of hours.

Who's speeded up time
The start of today feels like it happened in a different year, possisbly even decade. Somehow today has just been too busy, PGCE today was a bit full, this afternoon was packed with useful information. I trudges back up the big hill, which I swear is getting steeper, to run straight back out again to go to Rainbows. Even Rainbows wasn't long enough. We should have had loads of time to do the activity, but we're actually going to have to finish off next week. We made recordings of them saying a short bit about themselves, eye colour, hair colour etc. and then were meant to play them back and guess who it was. We didn't finish the play back, I had promised I'd finish off next meeting, but it means taking my laptop in again, and will mean we rush next weeks activity, so I really don't want to, however I feel that if I promise them something I should stick to my word.... so at the end of that mass of consciousness what should I do?
On an even more depressing not I watched a great documentary when I finally sat down, Stephen Fry:HIV and Me. Now Stephen Fry is one of my most favourite people on TV, and he is just such a wonderfully compassionate guy. He never seems false, and somehow manages to be funny in the oddest situations. Now while he doesn't have HIV, as a 50 year old gay man he has watched many friends die of AIDS. He discussed current attitude in the UK, met a teenager who was infected at birth, but is open about her HIV status, and her attitude was just breathtakingly wonderful. he also went to South Africa and I'm still reeling from what he found out. The South African government acknowledges you get HIV from unprotected sex, but then says there is no link between HIV and AIDS. According to them having HIV is completely unrelated to the fact that eventually you die of AIDS, and even more scarily 1000 people a day die of AIDS.
