I climbed to the highest peak on Arthurs Seat today.. and I can prove it.
Actually It was fun. Andy stayed over last night, so today we decided to do the walk down the Royal Mile to Scottish Parliment and up Arthurs Seat. We took the tricky way which was shorter, but steaper. So after a fair trek, I was getting knackered. I sat down and 30seconds later Trixie was barking at me.. she was gagging to go on. Little motivator. Eventually we reached the top of the top - the absolute highest point reachable on Arthurs Seat. Not bad for a Deebo, not bad at all.
And some other photos of the day...

Seeing as James, Liz and the boys were up from England, we took a trip out to the Falkirk wheel for a bit of Scottish sightseeing. Actually, I've never been before.. but its interesting: the worlds first rotating boat lift that gets boats into the canals that run through Edinburgh to Glasgow.
Well, when we went through the tunnel I feel asleep for 3 seconds. this happened a couple of times. I was knocked!!!!! So I didnt get so much information..
At night we took the boys to the leisure park; caught a movie (Vantage Point), played some pool (me and Joe won), shot some targets and danced to some Gloria Gaynor........................................... >*^$!<&£+>>>>>
"I should have changed those stupid locks, I should have made you leave your key.. If id know for just one second, YOU'D BE BACK TO BOTHER ME.. GOOOO, NOW, GO!!!!!!!!! WALK OUT THE DOOR!!!!!!! DONT TURN AROUND NOW, COS YOUR NOT WELCOME ANYMORE!!!!! WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO TRIED TO HURT ME WITH GOODBYE????? DID YOU THINK I'D CRUMBLE????? DID YOU THINK I'D LAY DOWN AND DIE???? OH NO NOT I... I WILL SURVIVE..."

You know, its not that their scary, or really all that ugly. But when you see a mouse scattering across your bedroom floor, suddenly nature kicks in and it gets a girl screaming and leaping onto the highest platform she can find, ie a bed or desk. I'll never forget... 2001 at my boyfriends home out in the country, we had just got home from dinner and went to his room, his mum was walking up with us and came in to chat, we were all taking off our coats and suddenly she started screaming. I turned around and saw a mouse running around trying to get into his wardrobe.. his mum freaked, i freaked, we leaped onto the bed, my boyfriend (a bit of a pussy) also jumped onto the bed screaming.. it was hilarious!!!! He grabbed a broom not having a clue what to do..
Like I said, its not that they look scary, or they want to harm you. Its in our genetics to be scared of them!! It is!
Yep. I have a mouse in my house. Last night Julian was nice enough to bring me some food as I hadn't eaten anything and we hear a scratching sound. He swears he saw a mouse, which I was skeptical about because when he lived here, I always heard the noise and he aaalways said it was outside the flat. Anyway, he lifts the drawers.. nothing. He pulls out one of the drawers and the mouse came flying into the air and within seconds, out of the door into the hall. Now that mouse knows her way around my room. She went straight for the door and squeezed through a tiny hole when the door was almost shut. Then, she was nowhere to be seen. Its now 1am the next night.. and im all alone. And I can hear her. Im worried its a 'them' because I have just heard one under my bed then 3 mins later one in the hall. but didnt hear her running from my room to the hall... which means... uh huh. A blinkin family. I read up on them, and sure enough, they're not solitary travellers. They come in packs.
Sure i'll get some friendly traps to remove them but keep them alive.. but i'll be all alone in the flat as of Sunday when Gregor goes to Aachen, so whos gonna take the wee mice outside???? Somehow I cant really see me stomaching it. Although after my 2 second scream-reaction, I was saying how cute she was. And she was..
But still, its creepy. Helfeeeeeen miiiiiiccccch, bitte!!!!!!!!

Heard this in Bangkok. Beautiful lyrics :)
If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do
And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I’m thankful for the life we’ve made
And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don’t even know how very special you are
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You’re like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You’re something special
I only hope that I’ll one day deserve what you’ve given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail

You don’t even know how very special you are

I haaaaate fevering.
I woke up. Felt ROUGH. I took pills and lemsip, watched a movie then felt better after a few hours. Much better. I then ventured out into the real world for some food. I was okay until I got to the shop and waited in the queue. Theeen I felt rough. I got home and collapsed on my bed falling asleep for the next 2 hours. Woke up and feeling awful again. Same as last night, maybe worse. I sleep for the next 2 hours again and still feeling horrible.
Why, why oh why? :(
Anyway, now I have a toasting head with a freezing body. Lucky me!!! I blame the Scottish weather. Bring on summer time. Cant wait! Kuss
Oh, and the amount of movies you waste time on when your ill....

Its strange.. Some days I can go to uni for the whole day and see nooooone of my buds. Today was a power cut til 1pm, so when I arrived at uni, there was hardly anyone there, but still, I managed to run into even more people than normal.
I think thats strange!!!!!!!!! Isnt it???
Nice day after uni when I caught up with Beata (after about 2 years!!!). I then had a cheeky dance class, all whilst feeling like I was coming down with something. Right enough, I get home, have a bath and have to lie on my dirty floor as im nearly fainting. After seeing Julian for a bit im feeling pretty bad. And right enough. Fever. All night rubbish fever.. daaaaam
Feel sorry for me? haha.

I LOVE Lost. Its thee best program. Better than Heroes, actually.
I've had such a good day today, and its only 3pm :)
Got to uni nice and early to finish (in the nick of time) a report this morning. It looks great - The big blowout! Just after, I went to visit the ever-so-cool Patrick Harte and he okay'ed my exams and time abroad next year.. and funnily enough when I told him I wanted to go to Germany, he suggested Aachen. So.. some thinking to do about where I go.. but very veeery excited.
I got home and lay in bed with an episode of Lost (the best part of the day), and now I shower up to meet Greigy boy for some food at Sportsters.
aaaaand then, some girly clubbing at Potterow me thinks! Aye Aye!
I do enjoy a Friday!

I swear I dont make this stuff up.. but..
well, somehow I managed to get from Craiglockhart campus to Scotts - have a bowl of soup - and be in Merchiston campus in 30minutes. It was almost a miracle! Anyway, running a few minutes late for my lecture I bolted down the hall and shortly behind me saw a guy doing the exact same, so I laughed and told him to go first through the door. I never saw him for the rest of the class when he met me outside to ask what module I was taking..
I then found out that actually, the 2 hour lecture I just sat through wasn't Web Development Mehtods. Because I missed the first 5 mins of the lecture, I never realised. I thought we had moved on to a new setion of the course - PHP. He was doing the same module as me and realised he was in the wrong class when the boy next to him told him what lecture it was.
2 hours.. waaaaasted. And I missed my real class that had been moved rooms.
Thanks to Thailand the tutor didnt get my email address on the 1st week, so i didn't get the email confirming the change of room. He sure as 'ell has my email now ;)
But.. forgetting the waste of two hours, it was a fun day.
Now for some uni work.. aaaall night long. Poooooo.

Ti amo. Ich liebe dich. Ik houd van u. Je t'aime. σας αγαπώ. Te quiero. 나는 너를 사랑한다. Eu te amo. я люблю вас. I love you.
In retaliation to Bryans comment about me moan-blogging at everything (which actually, i've noticed im doing)..
Tonight I missed my bus home because of too much gabbing. It was midnight and I had Amy Winehouse tuning away on the ipod.. it wasnt cold, just crisp. it wasnt windy, just still. and i wasnt hating it, just relaxed. It took me about 20minutes to walk home, but it was so calm strolling along with music in the crisp air. My mind was clear and my skin was tingling. Great feeling.
So, 1 thing to add to my 'think positive' campaign. Maybe I can add 1 thing per day so you won't think im a grumpy sod :)

How silly am I? I get up at a decent hour for my class at 11am.. get there, sit down and prepare. Just when the lecturer comes in looking alot like Ben Bates - The Accounting tutor, i think to myself, 'nah, they must just look similar. Surely enough, he hands me the second sheet with Accounting notes on it and I grab my stuff, running out of the room as fast as I can.
Worst thing is I sat there for aaages while he prepared notes and handed stuff out.
How embarrassing!!!!!!!!

My professional looking Green Curry
my luck continues today.
as soon as i step out of the flat the rain starts.. it continues for the next 15 minutes as im walking alongside the 'just finished work and rushing home' people. I've never seen the streets of Edinburgh so busy.. and when its raining with people pushing you around, it sucks. Anyway, they turn right to the train station and I get away from them. But what happens then? Well.. I am walking along to find a cash machine and it starts to HAIL STONE on me.. and worse, theres no cash machine!!!!!!
Anyway, I eventually get cash and go buy up my ingredients. The little thai woman makes the journey a little brighter when we talk about Thailand and the weather. Such a niiiice little lady. Well, I get to the station and miss my train by 1 minute. Literally. 1 minute.
I stand in the cold with wet feet and horrible hair for 30mins awaiting my next train.
Fun, fun fun.
I haaaaaaaaaaate the weather.
Bring back summer, or I might just leave!!!!!!!
Nice addition: I feel sooooooo sick on the train :(

Why do people queue for the bus when we're waiting on different buses?????????
Isn't that a bit stupid? I stood in the queue and because the man at the front of the queue wasnt getting the bus he didnt flag it down. And there was me stuck behind 12 people unable to stick my hand through the plastic bus shelter to stop the bus.
Dam stupid and dam annoying.
I just walked right to the front!

Thursday 6th March
Today was a strange day.
Do you ever have days that you feel like floating along, not really involved with anything? Well, my day was like that. and it was STRANGE! But, in that state sooomehow I managed to get a fair bit of uni work done in my dry-aired uni library. Does it sound odd that the air feels so dry? I think they do it on purpose to make you buy more juice. A bit like theme park and the salty fries! hehe.
Anyway, I drifted along until Business Ethics class, which was really interesting.. Unfortunately the lecture today was entirely based on a module I had done last semester (international business) and a coursework I wrote 3000 words on. So I was a bit of an expert in that one lesson. Makes a big difference from being my usual clueless self ;)
I met a classmate at the bus and had a good giggle on the way home. Only to step out the bus to find some horrible ned swearing and shouting at an old man. I was raaaaaging, and told the guy to shut the hell up. The ned was screaming, 'im gonna rip your f***ing head off' .. TO AND OLD MAN!!!! Who does that???? Idiot!
Headed into town to meet Crystal and Helene for a walk around George Street. It was freezing! We're looking for a place to hold our party.. its proving to be a lil difficult actually.
And right now, im sitting in the flat, with the heating cranked up waiting on Miss Rafferty to arrive with some wine and vodka. We're gonna paaaaarrrtaaaay tonight.
Watch out Edinburgers!! Heehee

What beautiful weather outside..
11am and the sun was shining. Now maybe Scotland would be much more appealing if it kept up the nice weather. I was waiting on my bus home from uni and the sun was beating down on me.. I LOVED it. Im such a sun worshiper..
Tonight I went to my ladies and enjoyed 'Legally Blonde' for the first time this year :)
I love that film. Made me feel great.
