NEW BLOG
I'm pretty certain nobody really reads my journal entries anymore anyway, but if you do and feel like stalking me on blogspot then feel free...I only have 2 followers at the moment and it makes me sad :(

Sunday Evening by Barbara Guest
I am telling you a number of half-conditioned ideas
Am repeating myself
The room has four sides; it is a rectangle,
From the window the bridge, the water, the leaves,
Her hat is made of feathers
My fortune is produced from glass
And I drink to my extinction.
Barges on the river carry apples wrapped in bales
This morning there was a sombre sunrise,
In the red, in the air, in what is falling through us
We quote several things
I am talking to you
With what is left of me written off,
On the cuff, ancestral and vague,
As a monkey walks through the many fires
Of the jungle while a village breathes in sleep.
Someone stops in the alcove,
It is a risk we will later make,
Whilst I talk and you bring your eyes to the fibre
(as the blade to the brown root)
and the room is slumberous and slow
(as a pulse after the first September earthquake)

Hmmm...I had a dream last night that I was googling random things (oh god, even in my dreams!) and that I came across this really bizarre website which was like facebook but, instead of adding your friends, you added people you hated...like some kind of fucked up cyber-bullying network! Also, instead of setting up an account yourself,somebody could set up one for you, so that when you got onto the website you could search for yourself and find out how many people already hated you...if I remember correctly only one person hated me. Whoever it was had compiled a list of my faults (which seemed to all be based around my lack of sporting ability) and had also recorded all my exam results since GCSEs- INCORRECTLY! :O :O :O having all your insecurites and flaws affirmed on a social networking site is one thing but- A D IN A-LEVEL HISTORY?! FUCK OFF! Anyway, the dream ended with me thinking of ways to take revenge on this individual as well as searching for people to add to my hate list.
First thing I did this morning- checked google to see if such a site actually exists. Doesn't. What a shame. Now I'm thinking the dream may have been a kind of epiphany- I NEED TO MAKE THIS SITE! Yeah...or...I'm just spending too much time on the internet.........nah...well..possibly.
In other news- I found out about this flesh-eating superbug called 'necrotizing fasciitis' yesterday- it sounds BRUTAL! And could also quite easily be the name of some Scandinavian black-metal band, don't you think?
'The disease, which is becoming more common, is an infection which sweeps through the body, internally and externally, so quickly THAT IT CAN ACTUALLY BE SEEN SPREADING (!!)'
I'll no doubt convince myself that I have this disease when I next catch a cold. Score.
Oh and by the way I dare you to type 'necrotizing fasciitis' into google image-search. DARE YOU!

So...who is coming to this awards evening jobby thing at school pray tell?
The Lowdown:
Working this Saturday from 12-4. I actually quite enjoyed last Saturday...I'm working with lots of nice people, including two guys called Ollie and Jay (yes. How appropriate) who both look like Lewis's long lost brothers. You should SO come and work there Lewis...you'd feel right at home....literally. Because you'd be working with your long lost brothers....
I also worked with two people who'd come all the way from Monmouth in Wales just to work in Wokingham because they're experienced and shizz and there was a boy called Jack who I'd imagine Melina would class as 'WELL fit' because....I'm blessed with a sixth sense that allows me to instantaneously recognise what Melina would find attractive....WHAT?! AND YOU'RE NOT?!
Course is going alright. Still not overly fond of the people but I'm getting distinctions on my practice exam papers and what not so it's all good.
Ummm....scarf scarf scarf scarf scarf...

So....
My driving instructor has turned from nice to crazy psycho bastard in two weeks. My mum thinks that he's trying a new tactic as a way of encouraging me (ummm...logic?). I personally think that he is on his period.
Training was alright...although it wasn't so much training as 'leave Lusana to her own devices because we are busy'....so I spent most of my time in the stock room putting new stock on hangers and putting size cubes onto those hangers and then putting those hangers in size order....ON A RAIL...I learnt a new technique of hangering clothes at super speed (Hangering is a word in my dictionary. Shut up). I got to grips with the cash and the card on the till but not cheques or gift vouchers....and they only went through everything once and then were like 'WELL....now that you're confident with the till'.....uhhhh....funnily enough. No. So now I'm slightly apprehensive about my first day at Wokingham because not only wasn't I confident on the till when I was on the till, but I'm being given a whole week to become even less confident...I personally think that I should be given another training session....perhaps in the morning when it isn't so busy...but you know....it'll never catch on.
That was an unnaturally long bullet point.
I don't really have anything else to report except that we might be getting a new budgie....and we want to call it Claude....as you do.....frequently....

I had my induction yesterday
It felt unnervingly as if I was being initiated into some form of cult...they have all sorts of code words and policies and a whole booklet about their 'philosophy' (I swear I'm not exaggerating).
For those of you who don't know I am now a weekend assistant at the new Fat Face store which will be opening in Wokingham on 18th November. So yes, everyone should come and...loiter outside it....or something.
I did some good loitering outside Boots whilst I was waiting for the induction to start *nods*
I am actually going to be working on 18th November from 12 until 6, which should be fun...if of course the meaning of the word fun is altered to mean extremely stressful and traumatic. That's providing I get through the training first, which I will be starting on Friday 10th from 2 until 6 at the Reading branch...there seems an awful lot to learn even without till training, so, yes...I predict a numerous number of spaz-outs :s ah well. Perseverance and all that shizz.
I would ideally have liked to have worked on one of the launch days but the other people stole all the hours...the thieving swine.
They weren't really thieving swine. They all actually seemed quite nice, and they all reminded me of people I already know, which was comforting, as well as a tad disconcerting:
-One guy looked like Lewis! Right down to NEW BEARD! and the bizarre sense of humour
-Another guy looked like Jack Osbourne...not that I know Jack Osbourne personally....but I COULD!...for all you know....
-One of the girls looked like Claire's sister, Laura
-Another one looked like that really small girl who was in the year below us at school...you know who I mean
-One of them looked like somebody from my sister's year.
-And the other...didn't look like anyone...oh dear.
I don't know if it's a requirement of the job to be under 5ft 5, but everybody on the induction must have been including the assistant manager person (who was also very nice, and bore an uncanny resemblance to my old primary school teacher)...so yes...I felt like a giant...
We were going to have to dress mannequins...but didn't in the end...
...Yes....
Anyway, all in all, it went quite well and the people were nice, so that's the main thing...it's also quite good because everyone is going to be new together so I won't feel intimidated by anyone's knowledge...yup...
In other news:
Course is going alright although beginning to get decidedly tedious....blah...only until January....
I'm re-reading Pride and Prejudice
I am also reading 'The History of English Literature'...which is a laugh a minute...as you can imagine....
I am knitting another scarf with BIG FUCK OFF NEEDLES and GLITTERY WOOL...it's going to be beautiful...you just wait...I wore my purple (or 'lilac'...whatever) scarf to the induction...I could see everyone coveting it...oh yes...well they weren't actually....*silence*
That is all.

Blah....blah.....blah.
I've noticed that my livejournal entries have once again all been one-liners as of late. This has to stop. Right now.
....or sometime in the near future because....I can't be arsed to write a PROPER entry at the moment, like.
However I do have this to say (in true Lusana form...with the bullet points and everything)
I wish all the luck in the world to everyone who is going/has gone to university or who is generally just doing something scarily grown up like Lewis and Liz, what with all their getting engaged and moving in together business.....or just you know, starting a new chapter in their life, turning over a new leaf....*insert more appropriate analogies*....like me. I hope.
I start my college course on Monday. At Wick Hill campus. THANK GOD. Not the scary Chruch Road one. So wish me luck for that.....18 weeks of intensive computery stuff with people I will try hard to like but inevitably won't.
I've made a new photoboard in my room. With photos of everyone on it! (funny, that) Made me feel a bit nostalgic :s
I have a second interview at Waitrose (Sunningdale Waitrose, for the record) tomorrow. So wish me even more luck for that.....I didn't even update with an entry about how stupid and pointless the last interview was either, did I?.....*shakes head* it just isn't good enough.
Everybody on livejournal who is going away is obliged to keep everybody else updated on how everything is going....or I will personally hunt you down....and say some not very nice words to you....you see if I don't.
This has actually turned into a proper entry now, hasn't it?
How convenient.

The results are in:
English Literature: A (May I be first to say......WHATDEFOOOKKKKKKMAAAAAAAATTTE?)
History: A (repeat above)
English Language: B (but....only 5 marks off an A....I got full marks in my coursework and 2 marks off full marks in one of my exams....so it would have been an A...if I had done slightly better last year/on the editorial paper......sorry, that was unnecessary....but....yay!)
and I got my letter from UCAS confirming my place at Royal Holloway. I'm really happy at the moment....well done to everyone else :)

Hey everyone, in the an internet cafe right now like a cool dude trying to sort this UCAS thing out once and for all....
I think Royal Holloway have accepted me....it says unconditional if you have a place, right? ...I just don't get why they're not letting me reply to my offer....or whether I have to....arrrgh....I just want confirmation damn it! Meh....I'll have to wait until I get home to sort it out and whatnot now, I guess.....
anyway....hope everybody else has got what they wanted....I thank Claire and Steve for being on the end of some extremely frantic and probably totally incomprehensible text messages...and I thank Thom for that card that I received before I went on holiday but didn't mention until now......I will write you a proper e-mail at some stage.
So yes.
I have been informed by Claire that I have an A in history.....I still think that either she or Mr Murray is lying....because....you know....it's the sort of thing they do all the time....can't trust them.
ARRRRGH! I'm going now.

Bad things about Fruitstock:
The heat that caused me mild sun burn and sun stroke.
Crowds...but that is what you get for attending a FREE festival where any Tom, Dick and Harry can just turn up.
FUCKING QUEUES!
People copying us.....evidently they couldn't have come up with the idea of walking on the grass themselves....that would be stupid.
getting ever so slightly lost...at one point.
Good things about Fruitstock
Funny looking dogs....like 'dog with beard'...and 'big dog looking happy'....and the best one of all 'tiny fat dog with lead in its mouth'...coming soon to a cinema near you.
The baby.
All the amazing things I would have appreciated more if I hadn't been so fucking hot.
Volkswagen camper van!
Mango and passion fruit Innocence smoothie!
Ice cream.
Shade....shade...good.
yes.
