Haven't 'updated' in a long time. What do I have to say for myself? Good question. The 24th is the day of reckoning - not only do I have 6 hours of AS-level English and Film Studies exams, but I'm moving house, or rather both my parents are moving houses. My dad's bought a flat just up the road from this place. I'll go there after school on mondays and tuesdays, and it'll be my base of operations every other weekend. The rest of the time will be spent living with my brother and mother in a new house, which although being a very nice place in itself, is a good deal further away from school, friends, and my current life than I perhaps would like. Old people aren't a constant, I've discovered living here. The angry young northern men of the 50s still fume the same way; they are merely the grumpy old men of 05. With a decreasing birthrate, this world is going to be a completely different place when the baby boomers die. Blessed are the meek - for they shall inherit the yadda yadda. But back to more self-interested matters, and my brother's on various intentionally unpronouncable meds now. Apparantly they've resulted in a 'marked improvement' in his behaviour. I'm still to be convinced. My mother and aunt chose a slightly washed out navy and nondescript off-white for my walls - clearly, the know me too well. This haggard, neglected "PC" contraption, complete with biodegrading peripherals, shall probably be the last thing I pack. If you really want to put a damper on good vibes, as happens too oft on my weekend evenings, simply start thinking about the environment and all that lovely, black, slick, carbon-infested doom... scaremongering or not. Sleep tight?
