Hello. I went away, and saw [livejournal.com profile] jekesta, and [livejournal.com profile] peeeeeeet, and some other people who are no longer LJ citizens (but are still pretty great). Today I did get back home, eventually, even though the trains did their best to stop me. But on the plus side, I did buy this amazing rocket bag in Manchester Picadilly.

This is one of the best songs Bad Lip Reading have ever done (spoilers for Star Wars IV):

You know what I love? I love Bad Lip Readings. I love Gang Fight by Rebecca Black.



Second kickboxing tonight. Seemed a little harder than the first time - can't tell if that's because the novelty wore off, because I didn't have much sleep last night and didn't eat before I went, or because the dude running it seemed a little more strict than than before. Squat thrusts right up to your elbows! Sit-ups where you have to reach your toes! I went for a scheduled water break and realised my face was the same colour as my cerise top. But I signed up anyway. The hardest thing is pacing yourself, and sort of learning the co-ordination and balance of the moves - but when I felt like I was overdoing it a little I pulled myself back, and I was fine. I need a bigger water bottle, that's what I've learned. But it's nice and even when it's hard I can do it. And I'm not doing anything else with my time really. So I have gear and a contract now. And what's nice is that they have lessons on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and you can go to any one of them a week. I figure I'll probably go Wednesdays because the time's more convenient for buses, but if I'm ill or can't make it one Wednesday I can go Friday or Monday instead, or miss a week and have two lessons the following week. Which is quite a nice system.

I feel fine currently, but I know I'll probably be feeling it tomorrow. As I'm told is how it should be. ::whine::

I literally have no idea what I am supposed to do to prepare for this interview tomorrow. I assume I'm only having it at all because I want to volunteer at a medical facility, so they can't just let anyone come and have access to patient information, they have to check people out a little first. In which case my main task is to not commit any crimes before tomorrow morning, and to just seem like a normal friendly person. But maybe it IS also going to kind of be an interview, and I might really screw myself by not being prepared. But maybe if I'm too prepared and intense they'll find it a little weird and not want to let me come. It all sounded like a bit of a formality, but I'd rather be prepared-ish anyway. Also, when the woman called up to arrange the interview time, she said something about interviews being what they usually do 'when they have a couple of application forms come in', so I don't know if I'm in competition with other people for this thing.

I'm basically casting an eye over their website to see what they do and what services they offer, then review the notes I took for the Social Care course I took in 2010 that I mentioned on the application form in case they bring it up and 'umm....' isn't a good enough answer, and then I'm going to vaguely try to remember what else I put on the application form and what I could say about it if they ask. And then I'm going to watch Youtube videos. And hope I wake up in time to actually go to the interview tomorrow.

Speaking of Youtube videos, I don't even watch The Walking Dead, but this still somehow hilarious to me:



I HAVE BEEN SINGING LA-BIBBIDA-BIBBA-DUM FOR SOME TIME NOW.
