I've just finished my last Year of Uni which is why I kinda haven't posted on here in forever. Dissertations = a whole new kind of evil
Anyway i still visit the awesome coms on lj you can't beat them for football luffs. ONTD_Football pwns Kickette
I hope everyones doing great.
I'm on Facebook alot these days (My Profile) feel free to add me (or not since i totally went MIA for absolutely ages).
I won't promise anything but with my new found freedom from Uni i might start posting on lj again.
I've kinda missed this place. xx
Beyonce - single ladies put a ring on it
Any the holiday came and went it was fun, better than i expected, all picturesque and pretty. Although i was seriously dying when even my phone couldn’t get a decent signal for pretty much the whole time i was there. Oh and of course it rained. Alot.
I also passed my exams and not too badly it seems. I got better results than last year but the most important thing is that i passed. Now i'm just dreading my dissertation.
The there was the pre season and now there’s just two and a half days till the new season starts and i'm super excited.
And the of course there’s the Olympics, I heart watching the gymnastics, cycling and the swimming. I love the rest too and i've been keeping an eye out for little Tom Daley in the diving. That kid amazes me.
I'm really glad Britain’s doing not too bad. I seriously cannot wait till 2012!
Also i hope Phelps gets all 8 gold’s.
Other than that i've just been enjoying the summer even though there’s barely been any sun but that’s England for you.
I've totally had nothing to update about for ages.
I really wish the football would pick up again soon. The Boro boys are back in training and we've made two new signings: Didier Digard I calls him Didi and Marvin Emnes. And Captain fantastic George Boateng has left us to go to Hull. I'm gonna miss his bling bling teeth and singing his song at matches. Bye Bye Georgie.
And finally I'm off on holiday tomorrow, i'm not going anywhere interesting just the Lake District (I expect it will rain all week). The worst part is i might not be able to have internet connection. *cires*
I also get my Uni results i'm not to nervous about them, i know i've already passed at least half the year. The only problem is that there published online (when i'm on holiday! *sigh* i'll figure out a way to get them somehow)
( Okay i've seen this Bag meme about so i thought i'd join in....... )

It did give me a small pang in my heart though because when everyone was celebrating, i just couldnt help but feel sad because if England continue the way they have then I may never get to see my country win a major tournement and feel the Euphoria of it.
But it is fantastically great that spain won and i can't think of a team that deserve it more other than England, possibly... maybe.... because like the Spanish we have gone over forty years without a major trophy, despite all the quarter, semis and finals that we've played in, but on the other hand i feel England is too arrogant and what we should learn from this is that it can be possible but I think the country as a whole needs to lower their expectations and just try to play good football and see where that takes us.
This video is made of some much win!:
Spian Conga celebration love
(sorry it's embeded on the BBC website so click on the piccie for video of uber awesome funess)
Also i thought it lovely that Sergio Ramos payed tribute to Antonia Puerta at the end of the final with his top like he did after Real Madrid.
 |

Its the final and i'm dead nevous cause spain don't have Villa and even though i have faith that the rest of the team can do it, Villa still gives them and edge.
And Ballacks in the squad so their fielding their strongest side and it'd be just like the Germans to play average through the tournement but win the final hands down or on PENALTY'S!!!!
Please dont let it go to pens!
Awwwwww their playing 'Walk on' in the stadium, waaaaaay cool.
Nervous
Cue me blurting out very quickle "Hi! look i'm really sorry but doctor whos on it' the near the end, big dramatic moment! what is it?"
By this point he looked abit dazed and confused at my extra long sentance that I said really fast.
he goes "oh erm Vicky yes?"
I go "yes"
He goes "I'm here about the broken window"
I go "What broken window?" looking around as if some broken window is going to appear right in front of me. (and again i spoke with the quick and was half watching the tv screen while i'm speaking )
he goes "You reported a broken window yesterday (at sometime or other)"
I say "er no"
he goes "this is Kent Close right?"
I laugh and say "nope you got the wrong street" and point and tell him where he needs to go to get to Kent again with the quickness bless him he was fairly young and looked kinda confused.
Then i say "ok erm, really wanna see Doctor who so yeah, bye, ok bye" and close the door quickly and dash back to my telly screen of love with teh Doctor for end which made me say 'What!?' ala doctor who style quite abit
I hate hate hate TO BE CONTINUED!
Bless the poor police person i bet the last thing he expected to have to deal with is trying to hold a conversation with who is high and disracted by the doctor who fangirl equivalent of crack!
Also Russel T Davies please make sure tennant Doctor can come back plskthnks ah needs mah tennant! I can deal with a year out for Hamlet goodiness but not for longer.

Number 1: Had my birthday dinner thing at Joe Riggatonis a lovely Italian restaurant that I heart. ( Me my mam, Reanne(Oneoseven) and Reannes Mam went... )
Number 2: ( Turkey going out. woe :( )
Number 3: Spain V Russia ForTehWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!
Number 4: Glastonbury. It's back and i have red button love so i can catch it all and i lufs it. Can't wait to see Cystal Castles, Massive Attack and Jay Z.
Number 5: Trying to get into Tennis abit. So far i like Janko Tipsarevic and obviously Rafael Nadal who i already new alittle about before i started watching it properly. Anyway they are both seriously canny and my verdict is Tennis is amusing but it's got nothing on football.

1. The Birthday has been and went for those of you who didn't know :D
It was an awesome day mostly because :
a) Doctor Who owned me. Srsly anyone who hasn't yet watched episode 4.11 NEEDS to see it! I cannot wait for next week.
b) More Euro 2008 love allthough i was sad to see Holland go out but Russia did play much better so it was deserved.
c) ( SHIRT LOVE )
2. SPAIN V ITALY ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
oneoseven(Reanne) came round to watch it and whilst i like both teams alot I like Spain more.
( So there we were, me in my Spain shirt... )
So now I am definatly rethinking this liking England not in the Euros thing. It's not freeing anymore I've become attached to too many teams! !!!!
I want England BACK!!!! It makes things soooo uncomplicated.
When England are here i can support them get to the quarters or the semis see us go out in penalty's and then just relax and watch happily while other people are getting stressed and feeling woe.

Croatia V Turkey has just kicked off and i'm getting smaller but similar feelings of nervousness and excitement that i get for boro for Turkey. I think i might have said it before but the do kinda remind me of Boro plus they've taken to wearing Red with a white band just like Boro do.
I like and respect Croatia alot and my head tells me they will win but my heart really wants Turkey to win and then beat the Germans!
EDIT: Oh God it's seriously killing me, for all of the second half i've just been bracing for the impact of Croatia scoring, Turkey just don't look like they are gonna score at all AND Tuncay will miss the semi final if they ever get there, cause he picked up another yelow
Its now in extra time and tbh Turkey haven't been great and i really don't know what to think anymore Gah!
EDIT EDIT: On word Phenomenal! I cannot believe it First that absolute last minute goal and then the penalty's Turkey seriously own me but now I have to go through the stress on them playing Germany with quite a few players missing!And on i side note I hate it when footbllers cry (other than ronaldo which is just funny) It was kinda heartbreaking seeing some of the croatian players breaking down in tears. They're a team that i truly respect and enjoy watching and I don't care that they beat England because we were very bad and they were good simple as that. They pull together as a team and there arn't really big names and there humble and believe in themselves in essence everything engalnd arn't and probably should try to be.

Sadly i fail and didn't get it from the beginning but the gist is (and some of you may or may not know this) that in Euro 96 the England squad to amuse themselves set the challenge to each other to slip as many song titles as they can into the interviews they did. Lol love the England team of any generation
Mainly i recorded it cause it has a much younger Gareth Southgate in it at the beginning and he is Boro manager extraordinaire so i had to put it up. Plus it has Alan Shearer being funny! which is a marvel in itself! Anyway it's kinda lame but it amused me :D
( And here's the reply to the same meme i posted the other day but this time for busem )

I haf srsly just been killed!
Tuncay owns my heart.
I cannot believe Turkey came back from 2-0 to win 3-2.
And Tuncay in goal just killed me dead!
I thought he couldnt get any cuter when he was desperate to keep the match going and ran over to get the new linesman flag. I love turkeys desire and passion to win even though they probably wern't the best in the game.
On a side note i am seriously hating on the idiot that decided to put the last round of group matches on AT THE SAME TIME!!!! They need to die for making me miss half of the last round of group matches!

I'm back
Second year of University = seriously hard (mostly at the end)
Sorry to any flisters that still even remember me but i have missed you all.
BUT
Big yay for being back (it's been so long i almost forgot how to post and entry - which clearly means i fail in a serious way)
and even bigger Yay for teh Euro's
I'm doing as ever other Football mad english person is doing and adopting a team (or in my case a few cause i couldnt choose just one)
So here are my teams:
Spain (very much like England -> look great on paper, fail at actually winning things I really should have done the sensible thing and picked a team that can actually win something cause its not like Boro and England win anything)
Turkey (mainly supporting Tuncay Sanli as he plays for boro and is made of cuteness and awesomness)
Austria (again a Boro link, i know there doomed to failure and are probably the worst team in the tournement but i shall proudly stand by my boy Emmanuel Pogatetz and his tragically bad and tone deaf national athem singing *nods*)
I'm also chearing on the Croatians cause they are a seriously good side and the players and manager and just too canny.
I also have little yay Italy and Holland flags.
I'm hearting the Euros soo much.
But now have to go cause its 6am and i havent yet gone to bed and i have to get up early tomorrow cause i'm going to the gym.
Furthermore infront of me was a gentleman swilling some sort of alcoholic beveage from a hip flask. Oh the joys of public transport and the selection of society that you find on it.
At the moment i am reading 'The intimate adventures of a London call girl' by Belle de jour. Sadly i'm a bit of a bandwagonista with this book because i only decided to pick up the book after seing the first episode of the televison adaption of it, but never the less it has been rather enjoyable. Lately many books are wrote in a bloggish kid of style, which for me is perfect as rather than being in chapters everything is wrote in small entries so these are god pick up put down books.
However to the point i read in it that as you get old your pubic hair goes grey and if you get even older it can begin falling out!!!!!
GETTING OLD is a scary thought.
I also had a thought earlier on today that i think that when i'm older (but still not grey old) i might find my hair getting thing on the top of my head.
There are actually realistic facts to indicate what would seem like my inevitable balding on the top of my head.
#1 I have a thyroid problem (as in it barely works) meaning my body dos'nt produce enough thyroxin. A byproduct of this is loss of hair. Now when i was around 15/16 and still undiagnosed my hair did start coming out, at the time i didnt think much of it, as a child i had really thick hair and just thought because i was getting older it was just thinning out abit.
#2 My mam is thin on top (mum has the thyroid thing to) and i believe my Father was/is.
So really it doesnt look good especially since i dye my hair too.
I believe its time to start developing a fetish for hats.
In other news England lost and we quite possibly probably might not qualify and an interesting thing in a Britsh newspaper said the Jose Mourinho said he might take over if SMac looses his job because we didnt qualify. Although i'm doubtful on the truth of this report as it comes from a tabloid, i would still LOVE for it to happen because Jose Mourinho is the most awesome maneger ever - mainly cause of what comes out of his mouth everytime he does and interview- so if there is a football God and you fancy doing us a favour get rid of the 'magnificent' git if favour of Jose we'd be much obliged.

Anyway uni is cool
So last in the last two weeks it felt like i had done five hundred million things i've been shopping more times than i can count casue i've been buying lots of new winter pretties. And me and _millet_ have been to a few reserve matches.
Yesterday we watched the first three episodes of heroes which were completly awesome. I'm not gonna go into cause there be spoilers but suffice to say i'm loving all the new stuff and the new characters, and all the pretties though i have to say what the hell is going on ith Nathans beard!?!
Tomorrow I'm getting my hair done, I'm trying to ty to get back to my normal colour which is sort of a light brown/coppery colour and i'm also getting it cut though i'm still not entirely sure how.
Anyway if its all pretty and i like it i'll post pictures :D
Oh yeah and just to add i watched my first rugby match last weekend. Basically i've been wanting to broaden my sporting intetrest for a while and i tried cricket but i'm completly lost and i'd been hearing the build up to the England v France match so i was intrigued so i watched it and it was quite cool so me and millet are going to be watching the final next weekend.
And of course were watching England v Russia tommorrow because two of our club boys might be in the squad because along with stewy, squishy (that is to say Luke Young, we call him squishy cause he has a squishy face and is adorable and youngy just doesnt sound right) have been called up.

I quite possibly might have lost all my friendlies but even though i havent been around i still think of you guys.
Anyway i've just been doing lots of stuff this summer such as cleaning out my living room and getting rid of alot the junk me and my mam have managed to hoard over the years and we've changed the layout of the living room abit. I've also re-decorated the bathroom and i think its much better now.
But really all this home improvement stuff is reall stupid because there going to be nocking down alot of the houses i my street including mine and re-housing us somewhere else, cause they want to remodel the area or something.
Anyway i'm sure i did alot more stuff this summer i just cant recall it all rght now. Anyway now i'm getting back into a regular routine so hopefully it will mirror on eljay.
Today was fun cause i got my student loan in, which meant muchos dinero to spend on pretty winter clothes. I had myself a little shopping bonanza. Plus me and Reanne were very amused by trying on lots of different hats and scarfs. Anyway i got some things but i still have some more things to get. I want to get one or two new pars of shoes and ne or two new bags. I'm looking to get these itms in a metallic-y bronze colour and in teal.
Anyway i'm gong now cause i want to watch the new season of prison Break and then to watch thi new show called the Riches.
Nw hopefully i can start coming on here more regularly.

Anyway the result was:
Boro 2 - 2 Newcastle
It was fantastic one of the better derbys i've been too, real end to end stuff although (and not just saying so because its my team) I think if anyone should have taken the three points if anyone was going to have them. I dont know the stats but i think we had more possession and created more chances.
There was alot of singing and Viduka got booed more times than i can count. I hafta say i only sang at the begining cause a greedy traitor he may be, but i couldnt sing things like "you fat bastard' cause the first match i ever went to when we lost 4-0 to Villa they sang that and it was mean and nasty and he had done alot for the club.
There was an excellent song that was sung that went
"Have you ever seen the Geodies with a cup,
have you ever seen the geordies with a cup,
have you ever seen the Geordies,
ever seen the geordies,
ever seen the gerodies lift a cup,
Have you fuck!"
(mam informs me its to the tune of 'she'll be coming round the mountain')
The best part was that there goal keeper Harper was laughing at it and Millet said that he was laughing cause it was true. :D
Honestly i could write more of the songs they were just awesome but i shall refrain.
Anyway it was a great game and i even got Big Sams Autograph and I saw Bobby Robson which was awesome.
Oh yeah and just a little side note, i found Fernando Torres' website which is REALLY good ad hes so sweet and theres even some really cool interviews, one of thens was Dani from El Canto de Loco interviewing Nando. Anyway for anyone that hasnt already seen it heres the link: Fernando Tores

a fixture that gets even the mildest english football fan excited, even when its just a friendly. And of course everyone keeps saying there are no friendlys against Germany, which is very true.
Anyway i cant wait and i think we have a good chance, our squads quite patchy becase of injuries but so is Germany's barely any of there big names are playing which is on the one hand sad cause i dont get to see Ballack, Frings, Poldolski and Sweinstieger(sp) palying but a God send for England.
Anyway its been 32 years since England beat Germany at Wembley, I hope tonight we can put an end to that.
Also i hope to seee our stewy play too!
And in other news Yakubus been sold to Everton for just over 11 million which is a good price and while i'm a little sad to see the yak go, we've been waiting for a while for the deal to go through so its not too bad. He's had a good few years for us and its time for him to move on.
I've also change my layout for the first time to a boro theme.
|

my boys are loosing yet again! So lame!
and its even lamer cause i wanna watch the match on the steaming-y mojo but as per usual it WONT WORK!!!
I hope we can get a point! huh and the yaks just been replaced by Dong gook lee!!! :O
i hope he scores a a goal he needs to at least to prove one of our strikers can i mean we've got the Yak and that whole situations iffy and we've got Aliadeire and Tuncay and Lee and there all new and havent scored yet And now were supposed to be getting this Mido bloke i swear we're getting top heavy and our proper defence is all injured!
I swear if we dont at least score some goals soon my unfailing optomism for Boro might fail.
Woe!
In other news i got a Wii which is muchos funage!
But it should come with a warning saying beware can be addictive and cause ahing arms/shoulders and tennis elbow type injuries.
I have a very achey right arm/shoulder.
But i swear there brilliant fun, and the Harry Pottr game is FTW cause they made the whole of FRICKING hogwarts which is fantabulous!

First and foremost:
Reanne!!
Also: Start of the new football season (as if you all didnt all ready know :D)
We had our first match and it was much love even though we lost.
Boro 1-0 Blackburn
There are many perfectly good reason i can go into for why we lost, but honestly we just really suck at first match of the season in the premiership we've never won one yet.
It was great though it has to be said season tickets are love and Football = Greatest feeling in the world
Also me and oneoseven got our new shirts which are awesome, i will post pretty piccies soon, i could also post all the pics we took posing with the players but since Reannes already put em up i shall just post a link. Us shamelessly posing as an excuse to egt close to the players! :D
BTW Jeremie Aliadiere smells absolutely gorgeous and is really good looking. Oh and Tuncay is like super famous he got mobbed when he came out.
All in all a great day even though we lost.
