Beach Test

Beach Test, originally uploaded by davidwilliamgold.

I was given a video camera as a Christmas present, this is the first video I have made using it, I realised once it was done that the quality is not on the highest possible so next time I will have to remember to change the settings.

Today was my final day at work until Boxing Day and it was hell! The morning was fine, woke at 6am as usual and left the house with my brother on our way to work (myself and him are working together as he is back from university for the holidays) and that was fine, the pavements were icy so we were almost skating to work.

We arrived and then thats when it went downhill. Half way through the breakfast shift my left leg decided to go dead and gave me a massive sting, I was then left with no option than to carry on in this situation, literally dragging my leg while trying to balance and do my work on just one leg pretty much.

Once this was finished we went to the washing room to start the second half of the morning shift, this as usual was plain boring and slow, my leg was still dead, then along with this I gained a headache, tired, back hurting, arms killing and itching all over. To make matters worse I thought I was only working until 10:30 when my manager decided to come in and tell me I was to go on a break at 10:30 then start again for the lunch shift. Usually I would be fine with this, but today I was just not in the mood, it had already felt like I'd been there for 6 hours so an added 2.5 hours made it even worse.

I took my break which was fine then the lunch shift went fine as well, boring but nothing happened to make it worse.

I'm now sat at home, fire on, about to watch a movie and relaxing before my amazingly busy week that is coming up after today - I really cannot wait!

College is now finally over for the Christmas holidays. I decided that I would take the Thursday off college because:

a) I really couldn’t be bothered.

b) Well, there is no b.

On the Thursday my self, Tash and Eloise went out for an all you can eat chinese buffet for lunch, it only costed us £3.95 for food then £2 for refillable drinks, we thought this was a bargain considering how much we ended up eating, I think I must have had about 4 plates and 6 or 7 drinks, I believe I got my moneys worth!

Not much has really been going on this weekend, I worked this morning from 7am as usual and the same again tomorrow. My weekends are pretty ruined by work but as I usually finish at either 10:30am or 1:00pm I’m fine with it, and considering I’m making much more than anybody else (£9 an hour Saturday / £12 an hour Sunday) it keeps me content.

On Monday myself and Brodie are going to see Avatar 3D, if it is as good as people have been saying it is then I believe we are in for a hell of a good time, but knowing our luck it won;t live up to our expectations, after we saw Paranormal Activity and thought it was a complete let down to us.

On Tuesday I’m going over Keya’s house along with Lou and Tash, we are going to be having our own Christmas and sleeping over as we won’t get to see each other any other time before Christmas day. We are gonna be watching movies, eating, drinking - basically what we always do, then we are gonna open the presents we each got each other. We initially set a budget of £15 each, I have gone way over that, every time I’ve seen something I think they would like I bought it, but although it means going over budget it does mean they receive more presents, so thats a good thing.

Christmas Eve I’m going out with my family (Mum, Dad, Brothers, Grandad) to go see St. Trinians 2, yes, St. Trinians 2. We never do anything as a family, I think this may be one of the only times this year we are going out as a family apart from special occasions such as birthdays or when my brother comes home from University. I’m actually looking forwards to this as I enjoyed the first film and knowing my family they will just make it more hysterical.

Also I have recently started using my Flickr again, I basically post to it about 3-4 times a week if I can, I'm currently working on a horror and 3D set so please, check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwilliamgold/

From then on I have nothing planned until New Years Eve when I’m going up to London with Becky, Keya and Lou. I’m actually amazingly excited for this! We are staying overnight at Becky’s Dad’s house so we don’t have to worry about catching a train back to Poole after midnight. I love London, and I’ve always wanted to go for New Years so I’m pretty psyched up for this. After that its just going to be sleeping and work until I’m back at college so nothing special at all really.

I really don't use this much at all, in fact I rarely even think about blogging. Not much has been going on really, nothing to write about so I guess a list of everything I have done in the last two weeks or so will do good enough:

1) Went to Pizza Hut with Lou and ended up making complete fools of ourselves.
2) Saw Paranormal Activity with Brodie, hoping for it to scare us shitless but ended up making us laugh like crazy.
3) Went out for a lunch time meal with Keya at The Real China, ate so much and felt sick.
4) Saw The Descent: Part 2 with Anna, this time a film did manage to have me covering my eyes a bit.
5) Went late night shopping with Brodie, she ended up buying herself a new phone and we ended up in McDonalds.
6) Went to The Real China again but this time with Anna and Claire and ended up stuffing myself again.
7) Sick before I had work on Saturday, phoned in sick and stayed in bed all day.
8) Went to work on Sunday, my shift has been changed from 7-10am!

So thats the past two weeks summed up in 8 points.
I forgot to mention though that its now December, which means its nearly Christmas! God I'm excited, I've done all my shopping for it, everything is already wrapped (I'm considering unwrapping it all because I like to wrap presents), and now all I have to do is write cards for people and maybe grab some cheap little things for a few friends I haven't got much for.
This year I haven't actually made a list of what I want, my parents know what I want (or so I hope) and I'm just hoping that they manage to work out everything I want, this will probably consist mainly of money, but knowing me I'l waste it all on complete junk.
I have to save £300 though because in July myself, Anna, Soph and maybe Claire are going to Amsterdam for a week as I think we need a holiday before I head off to University and leave them guys. So I guess that a lot of the money I get from Christmas will all go towards the holiday, but after that I'l go crazy with it.

Thats all I have to say now.

It's 00:11 on a Friday night and I'm sat writing my first blog on here. I do already have one but my friend Tash insisted that I moved from the other website () to here, so I have done just that to keep her happy.
This week I have been off college with Swine Flu or so I believe, I have the Tamiflu tablets to cure me so that's what is making me believe it's Swine. During this week I have done absolutely nothing, I wake, go downstairs, watch TV, play on the Xbox, watch more TV, eat, sleep, wake, TV, Xbox, TV, Xbox, sleep, wake, eat then sleep again. Not exactly the most fun you could be having with yourself when sick but I was pretty much just lying about in pain.
Tonight however I felt a lot better than I have throughout the week and decided that I would go out to my friend's birthday party, although this caused an argument between myself and my parents I did manage to go in the end. Whilst entering I noticed that the majority of the house was already completely wrecked, this was about 20:45. I did not drink tonight as I had taken one of my tablets about 15 minutes before arriving, and on the box it states that it would cause serious problems if I mixed it with alcohol, usually I wouldn't care about that but considering it wasn't just normal medicine I decided to play it safe.
About half an hour into being there my friend Steve who drove me and my friend Amy to the party asked if I would go with him to drop off our friend Fez back in Hamworthy, this is about 6-7 miles away from the actual party. So we drove her there, nothing too exciting happened really, nobody came running out of a house screaming or chasing us, no 13 year olds drinking by the side of the road or anything at all really, it was all pretty quiet for a Friday night.
We returned to the party with only half an hour to spend there as myself and Amy said we would be back by 23:30. Amy was extremely drunk by the time we arrived so I watched as she danced about the living room to the music channels on TV, had her leggings ripped and then turned into knee highs socks, rolling on the floor and doing the splits for everyone to see. This had pretty much everyone in the room laughing.
As we were heading back towards Steve's car Amy thought it could be fun to jump on the bonnet and say she was going to ride there, however because it had been raining heavily throughout the day and still was she slid right off it almost hitting the ground. Myself, Amy, Steve and Soph (who had also arrived with us) got into the car, Steve drove Soph home first and then myself and Amy. On the way Amy was talking about wanting chips and making hints that Steve should buy them for her, I told him not to and he agreed. Amy also had some strawberry laces, she dropped these on the floor and thought that throwing them out the window of the car at a cyclist could be a much more fun idea. She missed the cyclist but still found it hysterical, I'm not quite sure what pleasure it gave her but I let her have her fun.
We arrived home just after half past eleven and got ready for bed. Amy made herself some toast then headed upstairs, I followed with my own slices of toast. After about 10 minutes she was dead on her bed, and still is now. So now I'm just sat here writing about my night and I guess that is pretty much it, nothing else to say really.
