GOD!! Dial Up speed internet! This takes me back to the early twenty hundreds! Waiting hours for a two minute YouTube clip to load, making tea while Bulbapedia searches for an entry and prodding gmail every two minutes because it refuses to automatically refresh ( Read more... )

Yesterday it was the birthday party for younger brother Levi's girlfriend and we all got invited. Nothing makes you feel more like a social outcast than going to a party, really. Well, I imagine I would have been able to get through it had I know anyone there. As it was, it was mainly just Matt and I meandering around dressed stupidly (it was fancy ( Read more... )

I am personally upset and very unhappy at any situation in which I am forced to agree with anything said by anyone as insanely bigoted and ignorant as my work colleague, the trainee chef. But Saturday involved a somewhat heated discussion over abortion, with me and trainee on one side and Nicola and chef on the other side (as opposed to the usual ( Read more... )

I would like, I would very much like, to find David Cameron, and throw up IN HIS FAT FACE. And then make him eat it. EAT IT ALL, YOU BASTARD! So, Thatcher stole milk from children, and now Cameron wants to take away their books. What an utter douche! I hope Cameron finds himself dying in a hospital that he's cut the funding to and has Doctor who ( Read more... )

You know, I almost allowed myself to hope, to dare to dream, to dare to even think about expecting something good to happen. I almost had myself believing that I could get a proper job. Thank you, reality, for crashing into me with the force of a student riot ( Read more... )

So the con-dem alliance just voted in parliament to royally screw the poor. We all knew the conservatives hate the idea of the poor being educated, but the Lib-Dems seemed, only a few months back, to be strong against any rise in tuition fees. Now, it seems, they've sold out. OH. MY. GOD. Liberal Democrat whips must be like Malcolm Tucker X a ( Read more... )

I watched Question Time for the first time in AGES, because Caroline Lucas (leader of the Green Party) was on. She kicked some serious ass! Especially when that Tory was challenged about tax evaders and avoiders (not sure what the difference is... probably a technical super legal term). But it seemed that everything she said got applause, which ( Read more... )

I got an early birthday present today - it was Blind Guardian's new album 'At The Edge of Time'. Now, it may have been on a CD of questionable legality and the guy was going to give it to me anyway, but, meh. XD
Haven't listened to Blind Guardian that much recently. A good 70% of their stuff is pretty mediocre, in my opinion, but there some good ( Read more... )
