These are a few of my favourite things...

All the things/people I really, really like/am a fan of;
1. Coffee. Can not survive without it.
2. Heavy music. I do listen to other things but right now, I'm really going for the loud stuff.
3. Comedians; Russell Howard, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, Adam Hills, Jimmy Carr, Michael McIntyre, David Mitchell.
4. Football. Eight years of it later, in the mud, sun and rain, and I stilll get exciting for games.
5. Footballers. Don't care what club (unless they're Man U) as long as they're good; Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Ryan Giggs (the one exception), Joe Cole, Joe Hart, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, etc...I'll probably do another post just on footballers.
6. Liverpool FC. My first love is Liverpool but I have a soft spot for Chelsea because some people are just a bad influence.
7. Anberlin. First band I ever really liked, and the only band I still like from back then.
8. Rubik's cubes. Because in all reality I'm a nerd.
9. Mathematics. Again, me=nerd. Also, its only thing that I ever though I was good at.
10. Walking in the rain. Hardly anyone else is out and its just relaxing.
11. Harry Potter. Loved it since I was nine.
12. Books. The type that I like create a whole new world that I can just get lost in.
13. Drawing. I like doing it but I'm not particularly good at it.
14. Languages. I don't speak any other than English, but they still intrigue me. Especialy ancient ones.

I shall continue this. Its rather theraputic thinking of what I really like as opposed to things that make me worry..

Memories which make me smile

So I haven't written anything in a while.
Mostly because I've been busy with uni and other stuff.

But recently, I've started writing lists again.
In particular a bucket list and of things that I can't help but smile at when I remember them.
I started the bucket list because I thinght I would be good to know what I want to achieve in life and I'll have something to aim for.
Hopefully it'll motivate me a bit, because so far it's all achievable though of couse some things are harder than others.
So far I have forty things. But I'm still working on it.

The idea for the second list kind of hit me one day when I was bored in a lecture.
See, I have a habit of remembering things that I could have done better or things that I should have said and it just gets me down.
So I thought for me to be happier in life, I should try to remember the good things that have happened.
And then when I'm depressed I can look at it an remember that life isn't all that bad really, even though it seems like it sometimes.

But something I found slightly odd was how infrequently my freiend appear on this list.
I haven't figured out why this is yet.
But I will.

Also I still haven't started writing those stories that I had ideas for.
I suppose they'll have to wait for the summer break or NaNoWriMo or something.
And on the subject of summer break I need to start my job search soon.
Yes, yes I do.

Hasta luego,
Sam

And so it is, I can't wait to get over this...

So it happens ever three or four months.
Nothing I can do can stop me from feeling this way.
I can't bring myself do anything other than stare at my ceiling.
And something hurts.
I don't know why.
I'm definately not stressed, I am still on holiday after all.
Something hurts inside and I don't know whats causing it.
And everything just physically hurts.
My knees and ankle from football injuries.
My head. The constant pounding in my brain that won't let up and won't let me sleep for more that a few hours at a time.
And everytime I try to breathe, my cheast hurts like I'm being held underwater by an unseeable force.
It just hurts.
And I can do absolutely nothing about it.

Wr-wr-wr-writing

So, I haven't writen anything on this for a while.
I've been busy.
Well, not really. I am on holiday after all.
Doing absolutely nothing.

England got knocked out of the world cup.
That was a bit depressing and I have nothing in particular to say about it.
Spain is still in it though which is something I suppose.

I've started writing again.
I've got four ideas for stories and I've planned them out and everything.
But for some reason I just can't put pen to paper and write it out in full.
It's getting frustrating just staring at my screen for hours only to end up having writen about two hundred words.
Hopefully I will have something to post in the next couple of weeks.
I just don't like posting chapters and not being able to change them because they don't work in later chapters.
That is why I usually just write short stories.
I suppose I should finish the whole story before I start posting it then.
Yes, maybe I'll do that.

I've gotten addicted to The Sims again.
I have two guys in my current household and ones lifetime ambition is to be an astronaut which is awesome.
I usually just make the people and then quit the game.
But still, I think I'll keep playing this one.

UAOY

I have nowhere to go.
I have nothing to feel.
I should have nothing to stress over.
And yet, I can't help thinking that there is something that I have forgotten.

Reid, you are amazing

So even though I want England to win the world cup, I still don't want New Zealand to fail epically because that is where I'm from.
When Slovakia scored that first goal last night I thought it was all over, expecially then Smeltz missed that free header in the eighty-somethingth minute.
But then Reid, the guy who did some amazing defending in the game as well, score in the third freaking minute of injury time.

So that was the first point New Zealand ever scored in the world cup, not including age group sides and womens.
And what makes the whole thing even better, is that so far, New Zealand have done better then those Australians :)

That game made my day/night. Morning? It was about 0115ish I think.
Hopefully I can watch the Spain game later because I have my last exam tomorrow.

Footyfootyfootyfooty. ENGLAND! ENGLAND!

Well, that's odd.
I just read the stuff I wrote about two weeks ago and I don't remember writing it at all.
So, suffice it to say, I am confused as to what it is about.

But on a slightly less confusing note, two down, two to go.
Done maths and biochem, now I've just got to do mechanics and design.
I should really be studying for mechanics right now too because my exam is on Tuesday morning :s
Yuss! Then I'm free for four weeks or so.

And I'm watching the World Cup.
Well, watching all the exciting games when I don't have exams, and recording the rest for later.

England drew with the USA!?
Sheesh put Hart in goal and donn't start Heskey.
I know Green made a mistake that any keeper could make and Heskey set up Gerrard's goal, but still, you'd think that Capello would want to start his best team.
And I reckon the best England first eleven includes either James or Hart in goal.
James has the experience, after all he is the oldest player in the whole tournament, while Hart brilliant for a player you has next to no international experience.
And another thing, why would he give the No. One shirt to James but not use him in, debateably, their hardest match.
As for Heskey, I think that Defoe or Crouch would have been a better pick to start.
Simple as that.
[/footballrant]

Right now that I've gotten over that.
I've decided that I need to do something with myself.
I don't know what yet.
But I will eventually figure it out.
And I'll probably write it on here because I dont' talk to my friends as much as I used to.

-AJJ? or Sam, depends who I'm pretending to be a suppose :)
