For the last 7 years I’ve had knee problems, I was told that if I continued doing Duke of Edinburgh (walking up mountains) I’d end up in a worse state, but I did it, and well yeah, I was in a right state after 3 mountains - but that man was evil so I wanted to do it to prove him wrong.

Last year a sharp pain in my hip added to my problems (chronic headaches over which I have no control being the other major one) it was so painful and spread all down my right leg it quickly got to the point where I had trouble sleeping, even walking on some days because the pain was so bad. Pain killers haven’t worked for me since I lived on nice strong prescribed ones for my headaches a few years ago.

So today I went along today to a nice hospital where I’ve spent far too much time. I have a vivid memory of someone looking up my nose there. I think that was the neurologist but I digress. The surgeon was great and thankfully I don’t need surgery! I’ve had enough bits taken out of me for a lifetime anyway (eyes - dont ask! and my adenoids) Its a muscular problem, but he was concerned I might have some damage to my pelvis so he sent me for an xray anyway.

(I’ve cropped out my ladybits!)

I have excellent hips for childbirth apparently! There was nothing wrong with the joints except for some hypermobility - I was always told I had the opposite. I’ve been referred for more physio.

It always amazes me how fast xrays are, they fascinate me. I don’t think the heath insurance people are going to be pleased that this first consult resulted in an xray, hehe, serves them right for being bastards when my dad got pneumonia.

If I’d done all this on the NHS I don’t think I’d be blogging any of this for months! *yay* for private health care!

I spent this weekend reading Harry Potter, I wont spoil it don’t worry! Theres nothing more infuriating than being told what happens! I can’t wait until everyone’s read it though and I can actually talk about it! I’m pretty pleased that nearly all my predictions came true after I read the last book! The first death in this one is the absolute worst though but anyway I shall stop there!

I’m incredibly bored at the moment, I’ve been trying for over 2 months to get a job. I never told the story of reed the employment agency did I? Its marginally interesting. Two weeks before I went to Canada I gave in a hard copy of my CV and emailed a copy, I was told I’d receive an email when I was registered, so off I went merrily on holiday. I return and having had no contact I decide to go into the shop to ask what happened, this is now four weeks after I handed in two CV’s. I was told that I had missed registration and that basically I wasn’t going to be offered any jobs, I was pretty angry at the girl I’d given my CV into, reed was my best chance at finding a job! I also applied for PG something or other but I haven’t heard back from them and Halmerecruit - I had a call from them but they wanted me to work in a call centre - no fear! I’m petrified of answering the phone. After giving in my CV all over town I’ve officially given up all hope of finding a job. I’m even more angry that NEXT gave me the wrong form so I didn’t get in on the sale (which my friend did - another reason to be angry).

I’m currently accepting donations to the “enable Han to be drunk all next year” fund. Eugh, I wonder if its too late for a student loan?!

Sorry I can’t be more witty and fun but I’m bored shitless and getting depressed with nothing to do and noone to see! My friend at home has a new b/f (shh its a secret) so all she does is see him or talk about him when I finally do get to see her - which is really irritating when I’m not getting any and she is! (especially when I get all the sordid details!)

I’m trying to work on this new project but I’m pretty much at a loss!

(I’m on the left :)!)

I was finally invited to Oceana on Wednesday! It was brilliant, possibly the biggest club I’ve ever been in! Its a converted cinema, it was nice to see they left some of the original features from the cinema which was quite old when it was sold. They built an Odeon cinema in a massive complex next door to replace it. Its amazing how many people have heard of Oceana, even people from Canterbury go! Its in Kingston btw.

The ball room was fantastic - I’ve never been on a dance floor that crowded, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. Why is it that dirty old men don’t get the message?

First there’s the hands on hips, and stepping to the right or left to avoid them whilst avoiding eye contact, this is the pretend its not happening phase if this fails and the gropage occurs, this should result in a handbag in the face or chest, or in some cases a high heel on toe (or higher..) still avoiding eye contact, then they usually get the message and if a security guard has noticed said dirty old man he should be thrown out or given a stern look/warning.

If said person STILL pesters you, or as it was on Wednesday, several people are pestering you, find a group of the scariest most attractive guys you can (preferably with no girls around them - we don’t need a bitchfight to add to the scary men tailing you) and dance over there, make sure you make conversation and as scary man comes up behind you give fit guy a look that says “make him go away” and whatddyaknow one look from fit scary guy and dirty old man is on his way! Genius! I have to admit I was pretty lucky to find said group of reasonably attractive guys! I think my friend was having far to much fun whacking the dirty old men with her handbag than is normal! Next time I’m bringing bricks!
