Elephant/cow


Here is a strange little Elephant/cow thing that i drew recently, enjoy.

Brixham, thorpe park, making Rachel Sick, point to point and pub quiz.

Almost so much to tell that I put off writing this for two weeks. OK. There was the weekend where my friends came down to Torquay once again, only to find the place had been over run with four thousand young farmers. Took them across to Brixham on the ferry, and showed them the cliffs around marine drive.

Following that there was the weekend we went to Thorpe park. I was forced to drive despite my lack of experience of doing long journeys. Had to get up and get over to Heather's for half five and found Tom stood in the kitchen in the dark stirring bake beans. Not a bad trip except for my satnav taking me into Chertsey and as near to Thorpe park as you can get without being able to get into it. Started getting nervous when I saw this roller coaster arching straight upwards in the distance. This was Stealth which we went on straight away, and was made even more fun by it breaking down just as we got on, meaning we had to get off again and wait twenty minutes for a safety engineer to check it. I won't go into details of this ride as I don't want to damage the mental recovery process.

Then the weekend before last I was back in South Molton. Can't remember much of what happened except for the amazing dinner and trifel Tom made which caused much over eating by my friends. Oh my lovely lovely friends, and girlfriend. Whose awesome skills at making vomiting noises actually made Rachel sick at the dinner table when she was attempting to eat one last mouthful of trifle. Haven't laughed so much for ages. We are mean mean people. This also may have been the weekend where we went to the point to point at Braddon Down on Exmoor. Which was a really good day out as I had never been to horse racing before. It had fine burgers, fake pound coins and a horse which knocked itself out but seemed to be okay in the end. and I also forgot the turning up late to the pub quiz and then winning the three remaining rounds and three bottles of wine, though that had more to do with Neil's musical knowledge and Heather's spelling skills than anything to do with me.

first barbe and swim in the sea

Can now mark down the 10th april as first barbeque of the year and the 11th April as the first swim in the sea of the year. There was sausages, burgers, kebabs and the now traditional throwing of marshmallows into each other mouths. There was also a game of cranium which someone as slow and dimwitted as me should not be subjected to. Went swimming at Croyde with Tom, Rachael, and Heather on the sunday. I proved my manliness by going in twice (I have to do it somehow). Though my legs are still aching from being riden like a donkey, being forced to take part in a human pyramid, and building a sand boat.

During easter the week before I also went to a 70s and 80s night. I was made to dress up in all white and wear a fake moustache to appear like I was from Miami Vice. It was well worth it though as my girlfriend Sarah dressed up as a goth and looked very hot. she had a fake nose/lip ring which suited her so well that i may make her get one.

I have to also mention Heather and Rachael here as they asked me last time if I was still writing my blog and whether I had written about them. I have them to blame for an experience which still haunts me now. CHICKEN CAKE. what warped minds would think up such a thing? I of course was a gentleman and ate it all without letting on how disgusting it was until everyone else had started to try it. 'I wonder why no one has thought of it before?' hmm I wonder.

I have also realised I have left out my day geocaching with Heather along the tarka trail. I am still not sure about the geekyness of it, but it does give you a reason to explore places. I am still annoyed however that Heather found the one on the bridge after half an hour of searching just as I had given up.

getting car stuck.

Also to prove I do listen to my girlfriend when she tells me to right my blog I feel I also have to mention how I got my car stuck. I got diverted down some lane on the way to combe cellars. was forced to reverse and got stuck in some mud. My wonderful girlfriend helped rescue me :). My car was so covered in mud by the end I actually washed it for the first time since I bought it. This all happened a couple of months ago but the trauma was to recent for me to confess to it until now.

james' personality test.

did a personality test not so long ago and came out as 'The scientist'. People may apparently describe me as: quiet, analytical, focused, scientific, independent, questioning, clear thinking, logical, and challenging.

It also says I prize intelligence but may become intellectually distant. (so when you see me zoning out and staing into space I am actually thinking about great important things).

It also says I may have difficulty expressing my emotions. which they probably got right come to think about it. but at least it proves I do have emotions incase anyone was doubting this.

Untitled

Here is a painting i did a while back i thought would brighten up my blog whilst i find some interesting/embarrassing thing to write about once more.

Yimmy :(

well my main occupation for weekends the last few months has been my girlfriend. my other news has been spending a month volunteering at the British Heart Foundation, and joining a Badminton club. The latter has seen me being beaten every week by grannies who have been exhausted that day taking their grandchildren to the zoo.
I have also been much ridiculed for mispronouncing the words 'worried' and 'salad'. found out that the sound track to Grease was number one when i was born. helped win a bottle of wine at a pub quiz. learnt that AKA is an abbreviation and not an actual word. and have also much to my distress been nicknamed Yimmy. :(
