 Well well. This has been/is quite a good month indeed 
My A level results were good, with an A in Psychology, an A in Politics and a B in English. Just about gets me into Reading, which required a staggering three Cs. Unless they meant three seas, in which case I may well be in a spot of trouble. So once the accomodation department decides which horribly expensive room they want to stick me in, all is well. Well done to everyone else for their results, too
My camping trip with Jemima was also very enjoyable. Unfortunately, we had about 3 days of bright sunshine and clear skies, which turned my skin a nice crispy red. Fortunately, such miserable weather soon gave way to rain, clouds and wind. Unfortunately, this meant our tents got a bit flooded and we had to leave a day early. Fortunately, this meant we could pick up our A level results ourselves Unfortunately, half of the stuff I took with me still smells of damp.
Our camp site was right next to a beach, which was rather spiffy. Much spashing around in the sea ensued. Shortly followed by an equal amount of limping in pain over the rocks to get out of the sea. Luckily for us, there was a nice soft beach of rocks, shells, stones and sharp sand to walk on once we were out.
Further goodness comes in the form of me having passed my driving test today 4 minors, so not too shabby. Although it would have been nice to have had no minors again. Ah well, I’m not terribly sure I care now that I’ve passed. Muahaha.
Yet further goodness comes in the form of my laptop (the one that I shall be sat in front of for the next 3 years at university) arriving this morning. About bloody time, too, having ordered on the 24th of July ¬_¬ John, meanwhile, orders on the 6th(ish) of August and has it arrive in a couple of days… Same laptop…same company…lucky sod Anyway, I am most pleased with it. I am hoping it shall serve me well in the years to come at university, forming the foundation of my social life (MSN, whasblog, general internettyness), the brains behind my degree (wikipedia) and the black hole into which my free (and not-so-free) time shall disappear (gameses).
Sadly I’m rather bored, despite all this, as Jemima has run off to America for 3 weeks. Ideas of how to entertain oneself on the back of a postcard please, folks.
That’s about all I can think of to ramble on about. Peace out, homies.
I’m not sure whether to say I’m glad you had fun on your camping trip, or I’m sorry for all the misfortunes you had… well, consider them both said and take your pick. :]
Well done on passing your driving test (pff, finally…:P). I trust you’ll be transporting us all to places for the rest of the holiday? Yes? Good.
Hooray for your laptop finally arriving! I already know how leet and awesome it is because I’ve seen John’s… *is jealous of the immense speakers*.
Fortunately the smell of damp keeps witches at bay. Well done with the passing of the test. Can you give me a lift to Scotland on Saturday? I am indeed a lucky sod. But at least -your- laptop has all the right software installed
Well that provides you with something to do for the next 3 weeks. Along with a possible impending geek day (aka LAN party), a night of Airsofting one approaching Tuesday and reading Dark Tower in the mean time. You also need to finish coding your torknife related website! There’s plenty to do there for 3 weeks! You could always try something new. Sculpting for example. Not to be confused with scalping. Although you could try too.
A most eventful month
You forgot your birthday though! Well done times a thousand for passing your driving test! I am most proud of you 
Way to go! (on passing your driving test) I am still gearing up to mine which had to be booked stupidly far in advance. I’m not sure whether it’s worth trying to get cancellations or to be grateful of the time I have left (about a month) to prepare and make sure I’m completely ready so I can pass first time (which I will be gutted about if I don’t…especially since I’m paying for it!). I think I’ll be ok on my test if I try to think that I’m the only person I care about on the road and don’t let anyone put me off. My biggest downfall is being scared of holding people up ie when I’m doing my three point turn (ooops no, turn in the road) and parallel park and thinking that I’m wasting their time. So I rush and usually do it to a much lower standard than I know I’m capable of.

Can’t believe how time flies…glad you had a good holiday by the beach in the sea (jealousy rising each second
Yay for laptops! Although I’m currently saving up for a new phone..
Where does the time go?
