On losing my voice.

Well, I went to a very bizarre house party last night. It was my friend's housemate's 21st, so there was the obligatory alcohol, shiny decorations and me coveting lots of other girls' shoes. There was also a penis shaped cake, a bloke who decided to show us his nine inch (apparently) cock (that I shamefully pulled. The owner of the penis; not the penis itself, thankfully), and people blowing up condoms. You really would have thought that what with being 22, I would attend parties full of insightful conversation, intellectual debates and committed couples. I am starting to think that day will never come. Pictures may follow shortly.

In other news, I have a pretty bad cold and am now losing my voice. I have always found losing my voice kind of exciting. Being loud and bossy isn't exciting all the time, you know!

I am going to see Jason Manford (northern comedian; panelist on 8 Out of 10 Cats) with my mom tomorrow night at The Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham. Weirdly, that theatre used to be owned by one of my relatives some time in the last century. Pretty cool!

Welcome!

Ok, so finally, a proper post!

Since I am now on Google Wave (which makes me awesome, I know), I get quite excited by having all of my accounts connected and thought I may as well start up a blog that I can link to in my Google profile. I do have a blog on a much smaller site, but it's kind of where I rant and let off steam about my 'real' life, so no I am not linking to it here!

So, here's a little (or probably a lot; I will get carried away) about me:

• My name is Nicola Jayne.
• I am 22.
• I work as an after school/holiday club playworker in a nursery, but I also help out with the nursery children as well. I especially like helping out with the babies.
• I am studying for an Open Degree with the Open University. I recently finished a Law course and am now tentatively waiting for the news that I have to retake.
• My next course (providing they pay my fees for me!) is 'Art and its Histories'.
• I studied Drama for a year and a half at the University of Kent from September 2006 until the end of the first term in second year in December 2007. I dropped out because the course was crap.
• I live in a small village just on the Warwickshire/West Midlands border. But I am technically in Warwickshire, which makes me posh(ish).
• I recently discovered I am lactose intolerant, which I whine about a lot.
• I am a member of a local musical group, and we will be performing Oklahoma! next March.
• I love industrial music.
• I am a supporter of the Liberal Democrats.
• I like to whine about The Daily Mail, The Daily Express and The Sun, because they are newspapers for idiots.
• I prefer The Times and The Guardian.
• My fave show is Nip/Tuck. mainly for Julian McMahon. Ok, only for Julian McMahon. Yum yum. I also enjoy The Inbetweeners, 8 out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News for You, Mock The Week, Would I Lie To You, Top Gear, and most other stuff you can find on Dave and Channel 4.
• I am a huge geek and spend a lot of my time online learning stuff.
• I like to become a 'fan' of things on Facebook. Things such as Twinings, Sandwiches, The Anti X Factor Campaign and Dorling Kindersley Books.
• I pretty much despise celebrity culture. Most celebrities are vacuous twats and I don't need to see their makeup plastered faces every time I go shopping.
• I like to moan a lot ;)

I think that's it. I'm bored. I don't really know what I will write about in here. I will have to have a think! 

My favourite blogs always contain lots of pictures so I will try to supplement my posts with photos (if I can be arsed, of course). So to get the ball rolling, here is a picture of moi (I am extremely narcissistic):

Ciao for now. Ooh and if you are on good ol' Twitter, you can follow me at NikkiGuest.
