I know I haven't checked my inbox for quite a while but seriously! Lol.
My 79 e-mails comprised of:
1 quick e-mail from Carol
4 e-mails from bebo telling me about messages (which were actually just spam/virus things - I didn't click the links)
1 spam e-mail (from an e-mail address with 'viagra' in it)
1 advert from surfdome (I am actually signed up to this one, they have some cool stuff though I rarely buy anything there. I did get my backpack there :D)
1 e-mail from Despair, Inc. (also signed up to this, 'tis fab)
71 from Facebook (mostly from a few people tagging my photos from end of year - thanks btw - but also a friend request, a few other requests and a few messages)
+ 2 spam e-mails in my junk mail (but that doesn't really count)
I've not been feeling very well recently :(. I've got a painful muscle in my left leg, think I must have strained it or something... I've had a bleeding nose today, plus one yesterday and one the day before. And today while I was at college I had shooting pains up and down my right side and some in my chest. I don't know much about health but I do know that chest pains generally aren't good. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow...
I'd better go and do something constructive now, there's lots to do.
Have begun to sort out the junk in the drawers under my bed. I think I will continue this endeavor for a while and then go to bed. Bed!
I have to get my second HPV injection tomorrow :(. Ouchie.
Oh yes, and I bought two books entitled 'Disney's Treasury of Children's Classics' (two different sets of stories of course) from Oxfam the other day. I need to stop looking at books when I go in there. I always end up buying something. The last couple of times it was 2 Agatha Christies and a mini script of 'The Importance of Being Earnest', and 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' (I now have all the Harry Potter books - but little space to put them).
When I am old and rich I shall have a big house with a library :). Then I shouldn't have trouble with space. Though it would be easier to lose books...
Anyway, I am going, really I am...
When I have something to say, here is where I say it.
I blog about music, films, books, life in general, whatever takes my fancy :)

Prince Caspian :)
I forgot how fantastic a film 'Prince Caspian' is! I didn't even realise it was out on DVD yet but I found it in Tesco yesterday. So I not have the 2 disc editon of it in front of me :). Right now I'm watching some of the extras from the DVD. I've added a couple of songs to my music player (that I didn't know the titles of before) that I liked from the credits of the film.
I really need to write a to do list for today as I've got loads to do really...
I need to write letters as I received letters from both Carol and Sarah (my friend from NZ) on Friday. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to write back yet... Hopefully I will at least start my letters today...
Also, I've got to do lots of college work...
Better go now.

Letters!
I was so hyper today when I got home :). I was very happy as I received 4 letters! (Ok, some may not consider it many but for me it's a momentous occasion). One from Carol, One from Sarah (my best friend in NZ), One (to the family) from Sarah's family (a kind of family newsletter, plus a christmas card :D) and one from UCAS to let me know my application had been received. I meant to write back today but I ended up having to tidy all my stuff away from downstairs (as mum and dad were having guests over for a prayer meeting thingy). This basically consisted of my transferring all my belongings from downstairs to my bedroom upstairs. This took roughly 45 minutes. I then proceeded to remain in my room from when the first guest arrived to when the last left (excepting a momentary interlude when I went downstairs to grab a hot chocolate). Throughout this time I was tidying my room. So far I have spent about 3 hours tidying it. It is significantly tidier though not completely tidy. I am going to give up now as it is 25 minutes to midnight and I feel tired and achy. I think I might go downstairs and cut up some mango and strawberries and have some grapes as well for desert.
I've been up late every night this week for one reason or another (Monday - Compassionart launch, Tuesday - Life Drawing Class, Wednesday - Bible study group, Thursday - Frantically writing an essay I forgot to do/didn't have time to do before, that was due today, Tonight - TIDYING!). Hopefully tomorrow I will have an earlier night. Ech, have to work tomorrow. I need rest.
I did mean to write a long blog about Compassionart as the launch was fantastic - Graham Kendrick, Israel Houghton and Martin Smith were there (they both talked about the project and performed). It's for a fantastic cause, I would definitely advise you to buy the CD as all the money goes towards helping the various charities chosen by the artists. For more information have a look at the website (same link as above).
In other news. I am finding the ITV online catchup thingy extremely frustrating. The BBC one is easy to use, even if it does freeze sometimes if I pause it for too long. I am currently watching a Miss Marple - 'The Moving Finger'. I got almost to the end and then accidentally bumped the mouse at the wrong moment and clicked a link. To go back to the same place I have to click on the button to go to the next chapter, I then have to sit through the repetitive adverts which are un-skipable, and then I have to do this several more times. Also, I managed to go all the way through them and not stop at the right section. There is no button to go back a chapter, only to repeat the same one or to start from the beginning. So I had to start from the beginning again. I think I'm getting fairly close now... It's taken me about 20 minutes so far I think. If I hadn't bumped that button I think I'd have finished watching by now.
Why must they show 3 or 4 adds between every section? One would suffice. It would mean that we don't get the same ads over and over again.
Nevermind.
Ooh! There's two episodes of 'Little Dorrit' that I have not yet watched. How exciting :). I considered reading it but after flicking through I think that I'll stick to some slightly easier reads for the moment. I've got a lot of difficult college work etc. going on already without the added brain power needed to decipher cleverly worded sentences.
Right, I'm going to go now, I think it's only one more section to go...
Ten minutes to midnight now. I think I'll aim to be in bed by half past. Gotta get up early tomorrow. Somehow I don't think I'm going to enjoy getting up.
Goodnight!
