As many of you will already know, I have a brand spanking new WordPress Blog, which my Mattness bought me. Which is very nice, although a colour scheme change maybe in order....Anyway from now on, updates on my life, love and geekery will be over on www.laurendempster.com, hope to see you all there and leave commentsLauren xxx

After the past few weeks of assignments hell, I finally have a (relatively) quiet weekend, so I only got to the lab today at 2.45pm.... I realise that I have been fairly quiet on the blogging front for the past couple of months unless talking about Busted or McFly. I think (gently prodded by Matt) that I should get back to talking about how things are going with my life.Plenty has been going on

On the 13th of January 2005 I posted Busted Are Broken. Due to the upsetting nature of the day some statements I made in haste, without knowing the full extent of what my actions would mean. Having realised recently the terrible mistake I have made I would like to retract the following statement: "now instead of having just Busted we will very soon have Charlie's new band FightStar... So the

A sad day for all, I am sure. I am wearing my Busted t-shirt today as a reminder to everyone that thinks the world of music is now probably a better place. Just think that now instead of having just Busted we will very soon have Charlie's new band FightStar. Then of course James will probably continue writing with McFly and then there is Mattie (god knows what he will do)... maybe he'll have a

I hate rain and I hate wind too. I hate them both, a lot. At the moment they are keeping me captive in Dumfries (plus technically in the house cause it would make my hair go all frizzy). I tried to leave Dumfries this morning but after a short drive up the A701 ended in huge tailbacks (I'm assuming it was due to a fallen tree), the decision was made to turn back. On a slight aside note there

Heya folks, So it's coming up to the end of the term and my workload is finally starting to slack off a bit, only got one assignment for Friday and the fantabulous C Course with Ron Poet for the rest of the week. I got extremely stressed last week with my PSD team, talk about cutting things close to the deadline... By popular demand I feel I must blog about last Tuesday (by popular I mean my

By reading this entry (unless of course you are some sort of murderer) you are invited to my birthday night out. VENUE: Jim's Bar, QM TIME: Around 8ish, but I am sure many folk will just go straight after uni, I would too but I have to get changed.... :) Please come along bring anyone you wish, it should be a lot of fun....

My little sister Lisa came up to Glasgow last night to see Blink 182, she brought with her my birthday present... So I opened my first birthday present very early this morning, and no it wasn't my birthday, it was great!! All people who read this blog will know that I am a HUGE fan of Busted and McFly and what do you think my fantastic little sister had got me for my 20th???? Two tickets for

So this is it I have 4 more whole days of my teens left, what am I doing? I should be out partying, drinking away my last days. I am in fact in the 3rd year lab after 10 on a Sunday night... Some may say Hardcore, I just say sad. I love this course and most of the folk on it, but god does it take your life away from you... I feel that by working hard and doing my best I am providing for my

The night which I had been looking forward to for some months now did not disappoint - at all. It was fantastic, from start to finish the concert showed unbelievably exactly how music should be played live. From the overly camp spandex jumpsuits Justin wore, to the fireworks, to the fake tiger suspended above the crowd with Justin astride playing "Love On The Rocks", to everything else. It was

Heyo, I know every person in Glasgow is probably blogging about the complete and utter tragedy that befell our beloved Student Nightclub the SHACK, but I feel I must also do the same. The Shack may have been an utter cheese-fest but I loved it anyway. I have had many fantastic nights on the dancefloor in the Shack grooving away to Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Beyonce, (their mix of "

Colin was playing Pool on the net today on a multiplayer game. The "girl" he was playing with at the time started "chatting" to him. ASL and all that stuff, before starting to say things such as "I want to cane you" and "If you had MSN I would show you my tits" A classy chick all round I would say. She then progressed to say "I knew you had MSN you dirty little pervert, I'm not showing you my

Heyo folks, Another Thursday of "great" lectures AP3, PSD {Philly G stylee} and ALGS3 {Muffy is BACK}. The only highlights are falling asleep in AP3, Phil's "pop" quiz and the fact that the guys got really interested in Computation when Muffy bent over to pick someones pen up... However the main highlight (although possibly best described as major embarrassment) was in the PSD workshop. Phil

Now in even saying this I have already broken my own rule, on this (unfortunately now upon us) Season. I believe whole heartedly that there should be no work up to Christmas until the 4th of December. No Christmas Adverts on TV No Christmas Decorations in shops No Christmas songs in shops/radio/TV/full stop No Christmas Shopping The only possible exceptions to the no Christmas Early rule is

So I think the effects of third year Comp Sci have finally gotten to me, my geek rating has probably sky rocketed (and no I'm not redoing the test to check) a few things over the last couple of days have only proved this to me. While sitting in the QM this lunch time as usual with Matt, I sort of got thinking about how much we were probably annoying other people. You know there is always that

Howdy folks! Last night the strangest thing happened.... There is this cat that lives in the close of my building, I don't know who it belongs to or who feeds it, but it stays there all the same. It's always been a little scary as it tends to suddenly appear everytime you go to open the main door. It also does this weird sitting outside the door of my flat and staring at me (or whoever seems to

So yet again I have had another fun filled day in the lab with Matt, I would like to say that I got a lot of work done and my IS3 Assignment is finished - I would be, of course, outrageously lying. If you want to look at the site I am in the (never ending) process of evaluating, www.getinlane.com. I'll let you make up your own mind but it does have a really "groovy" background which, I think,

Hey folks so I really should be working away on the IS3 assignment I have for a week today, but ah well... Would first of all like to give a big shout out to all those who that were at the Compsoc Pub Quiz last night (especially those that worked so hard over in the Compsoc social committee, a great night all round you should be damn proud of yourselves!!) It was a really fantastic night, even

So everything has been extremely hectic this week, don't think I know whether I am coming or going. The PSD project has been a major problem for me and I have spent so much time in the lab I feel like I haven't left it at all. So the stress is really getting to me and I think I may have already developed the nervous twitch PD said I would have by the end of OS3 next term... Although it could

I realise that as yet I haven't made any post on the joys of my brand new 20Gb ipod. It is the best thing I have ever bought. Even the awful task of cleaning my kitchen and bathroom could be exciting with music blaring from my very stylish white earphones. The adverts for the ipod are true, you do find yourself not realising that other people may be around when you have music on, I was dancing

After not getting any work done this weekend (thanks Ali for the great dinner on Sat night) I thought I would rectify this by going in early to the lab. Sitting there at 10.10 I get a phonecall from my flatmate. Ten minutes later i am back in my flat watching the rain fall in my kitchen. I mean pour down the walls and drip off the light fittings. I had the joys of trying to switch the water off,

I have realised that I haven't posted for a while, I was intending to say that it wasn't because I couldn't think of something to post about but mainly just cause i was too busy. However after starting to write up the above idea for a post I realised that I don't actually have anything of note to say. At all. In fact I am feeling the continued stress of trying to come up with new and interesting

Although in saying that not a day like any other. I could go into detail about all the stuff that happened but it would be much easier and less time consuming for me just to give you the link to Matt "My Hero" Gemmell's description. As unbelievable as it sounds(it still being a lot more believable than Sky Captain) it is actually all true!! Anyway another topsy-turvey day playing the damsel in

Hey, Suddenly realised that i hadn't blogged for a couple of days. I suppose the only reason for this is that I haven't had a spare minute, what with PAL, Ron Poet's "great" Unix course and trying to catch up with folk. During one such catch up with a friend we were chatting about how everyday I come into Uni something else new, usually bad and concerning my ever topsy-turvey love life has

Oh baby oh baby, This has been some night, I thought I liked McFly before but really after tonights concert I'm in love. Not with the guys really, shock horror, but the music man, it ROCKS!!!!!!! I know you guys will say they are not a real band, but what does that really mean? They write their own songs, play and sing live and sell lots of songs. What more is there? So their music is popular

So still in Dumfries and having a fairly decent time chillin' and not doing anything, especially not Java (by the way my back still hurts cause of that damn text book)! So me and my sister are sitting at home (yes I know another night in, two in a row in fact - don't worry I won't make it too much of a habit) watching Ocean's Eleven - good film by the way, lots of cute guys - and out the corner

Howdy from Dumfries. So I've had a relatively good day today, but my legs are completely killing me!!! I ended up walking a huge distance today as when I got back to Sunny D (if you have ever been to Dumfries, you'll realise the sarcasm in this statement, if not count yourself lucky) I realised that I had forgotten my keys, what is a girl to do with 2 hours to kill before the rents get home from

Hey, so i felt it time to make another post and to say that ok, so i haven't really sorted my life out just quite yet. Hopefully by this weekend will mean that my life is going to get back to some level of normality, one way or another.

For the past couple of days I have sort of been wallowing in the past, feeling extremely sorry for myself and drinking way too much. I would like to announce now that I am over the depressing stage, cheering myself up by listening to a little Busted, maybe not the coolest band in the world but hey at least they don't play sad songs.

Hi. Having recently been forced to start my own blog, it was decided that i had to assert why I rule as my first post. So here goes... Reasons why I rule: I'm blonde (at the moment) I'm a female Computing Scientist I know Matt Gemmell (although whether i rule because of this is debatable, matt assures me it does) Because i only got 14% on the geek test!!! I'm getting an iPod! I listen to
