a little bit of me

As some of you may have seen on facebook, korea for new yr/xmas time is out
My brother has these compulsory camp type things where he has to teach, he starts on the 28th of december. SO my plans to see him are out.

I feel really sad about it, i miss him and really wanted to see him, he is finding it tough out there as it is and now he not only has christmas away from home but has to spend new year in a dormatory.

I'm sure he will be fine but it's a let down for me too, i needed some time away and something to look forward to this year is going to be such hard work and a complete bummer.

I have consolled myself by wasting £400 on a digital SLR camera mwahaha

There is a girl i work with who is 13, she really makes me giggle, she's such an odd bod. She comes out with random things to say, some find her loud and irritating but i really have a soft spot for her, I think she needs that extra bit of attention and support.

She has been annoying me for weeks by calling me Belinda, i seriously didn't know why, it was really random but i humoured her with it, it's just her thing saying strange stuff.

This week I asked her seriously, why call me belinda? (which couldn't really be further from my name)

She told me that she has an auntie called Vicky who she really doesn't like, that she is mean to her, and she likes the name belina so that's why she calls me it.

It may be odd but it has really made my week, i feel so flattered

ok first the singles disco. It was amazingly awful, so bad infact that it was really good fun. It was like a peter kay wedding. I was surrounded by middle aged folk on the cop. I felt very young and after looking around realised that i'd rather be single than attend anything like that again. There was a lady who looked like she had put all of her clothes on to attend, talk about getting dressed in the dark. There was also bloke who was the spitting image of uncle fester, talk about a mixed bunch of weirdos. On the plus side i won the raffle and got a box of sweets (yes a raffle!)

I have spent quite a bit of time with my brother recently too. I seemed to have said a hundred goodbyes and he hasn't even gone yet. His flight is on saturday. It's kind of weird because i know he is going for a year, then probably travelling, by that time i will have qualified and will be embarking on my grown up life. SOmehow saying goodbye to him is like the first step to life properly changing. I just feel really sad. I have enjoyed being around him especially now he is happy and seeing him go is like losing something really special. I really feel like we have reconnected and i know i will miss him.

my friend is roping me into a singles disco tonight. I am guessing it will be the most horrifc disaster known to mankind. Yes there may be war, pestilance, famine etc

but an over 25's singles disco has to beat all of that !!!!
