human conditions beginning with o and x

ok, i've just tried experimenting with photobucket.

if this has worked, the only two letters with animations are o and x (the rest of the class are doing the other letters).

this is what my typography work looks like so far, i'm hoping that when the whole dictionary is put together it should look cool. thankfully the tutor's dealing with putting everything together for the cd-rom.

*this animation belongs to the liverpool community college.*

laughing isn't a crime (right?)

all i was doing was chatting to keri on the phone and laughing.
more often than not my main ways of communicating with keri are by either text message or e-mail, the phone calls are a rare occurance. yet everytime mum's fiance happens to be in when i either make or receive one of these rare calls i get glared at whenever i laugh. i've begun to try to avoid laughing all together when he happens to be in, i don't like being glared at. i either watch films i find funny in my room or wait till they've gone to bed before watching bbc3 or red dwarf or anything that might make me laugh. (i can't get a signal in my room, my tv's only useful for dvds or video tapes)
i'm under the impression that his way of thinking seems to be "how can you possibly laugh when we have no money? debts are piling up, we can't even afford a loaf right now and you laugh" either that or he just doesn't like me and seeing me show happiness in any way, shape or form bugs him immensly.
i do know that his moods can become more irrational when cash is running shorter than usual, i'm just getting fed up of being on the receiving end on most occasions. yes, being skint is crap, but it's not then end of the world, so why should i behave as though it is!
in nine months time i'll be going to uni, nanna wants me to go somewhere close, whereas currently i want to move as far away as i can.

i wanted to cheer myself up earlier so as soon as mum and gus went to bed i watched the pilot episode of invader zim, might put my monty python meaning of life cd on before i go to bed.

people ask me why i don't smile.
perhaps i don't permanently smile, doesn't mean i never smile. clearly those people can't have the knack (^U^)

surely things must go to plan at some point, right?

this month is going to be mental. things i wanted to do were, go to 2 uni open days in south wales and go to keri's stag do in coventry. i had been saving up some money for train fare, but mum's fiance needed to buy more tile adhesive or something for the bathroom (still not finished). he swears he'll pay me back in time, but i don't see how. he's still trying to borrow money off friends to pay off debts including what he owes other friends. i fear his plan may backfire in the near future. i've been managing to book time off to visit keri, though it's doubtful it'll count as paid holiday. my boss hasn't a clue, he leaves that sort of thing up to the lady who sorts out the wages, and she was on holiday last week.

good news, my sister finally has her own place now. she calls it a shoebox, but it has to be better than being a resident in a housing association dive full of dysfunctional teenagers and junkies. i should be going to visit her on thursday.

also, i have nearly finished my last typography project, it still needs sound but hopefully it should fit together with the rest of the classes work and we should have a fully functional cdrom of the alphabet of human conditions.

that's it for today.

grrrr!

someday soon i may get the hang of this blog.

had started writing something at 11:30pm but got nosey and started messing with the settings before publishing or even saving.

for tonight, i surrender.
