Someone on Facebook posted a link to Green Day's Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). I watched it (because it's Green Day) and then realised that I've properly listened to/watched Green Day videos for ages and ages - I've been so obsessed with pop-punk and indie rock that I've forgotton the music that I love.

When I hear Green Day (pre-Holiday, if ( Read more... )

Currently sat in bed with a wheat bag on my shoulders. My work chair's not adjusted properly, it seems, and I am paying for it WITH MY SPINE. It hurts :( Today, I was mostly scoring and folding leaflets. Got 50 done in just under an hour and a half; 50 more to do tomorrow. All the black gloss particles from the paper kept going all over my hands, ( Read more... )

It was snowing earlier. Snow. Actual, real, stupid snow.

Not a lot, thankfully. But snow. It's not allowed to snow until at least after 4pm tomorrow. After that, I don't care (as long as I can still get my portfolio pieces handed in at uni).

Absolutely freezing - well, it's 14*C in my room, which is pretty cold for inside. I thought the insulation we ( Read more... )

Things I should be doing:
- Writing essays and portfolio pieces
- Writing poetry for a collection
- Actually writing
- Revising
- Reading the 'General Prologue' of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales

What I am actually doing:
- Threatening my laptop charger with violence as it keeps refusing to charge my laptop, thus negating its usefullness and becoming just a ( Read more... )

I don't play video games. Not really. Well, I play Sims 2 when I can be bothered and the only computer that can run it isn't in use, but that doesn't count because it's Sims 2. I have a Nintendo DS from way back when they used to have Gameboy cartridge holders, and that runs my Guitar Hero game that I play if I'm exceptionally bored. I have a Wii ( Read more... )

I'm back at uni now, which I'm actually really happy about. I used to love the 6 week summer holidays at school, but when six weeks becomes four MONTHS, it gets old. Really old.

Most of my lectures/modules so far have been amazing. There's one about Latin American fiction and Magical Realism which, okay, was a bit dull but then again we were just ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, I have to stand up in front of around 70 people and read poetry.

Oh god, what the hell am I doing? I hate public speaking; I hate reading aloud and I hate reading poetry aloud. Especially poetry I wrote months ago and now, every time I look at it, I cringe at the clumsiness and the lack of depth. But I can't change the words on the paper ( Read more... )

Urghhhhhhhhh

Today's just not been a really good day. I slept in (not that that makes one ounce of difference, because I have nothing to do whatsoever). I got a reminder from the dentist telling me that I'm due a checkup. I washed up one hundred million dishes. I got a phonecall from my sister's school, asking if I could bring her inhaler in ( Read more... )

Today I had a jacket potato for lunch, because there was no pasta or chilli or salad made up. I know, this is the best story ever, right?

So, anyway. I had a jacket potato. But I didn't know what to put on it, because I really didn't fancy cheddar or beans or cottage cheese or whatever else you put on jacket potatos. I like those italian BLT ( Read more... )

The rain is falling in fits and starts. It's too light to be a proper downfall, but you'd get absolutely soaked if you even attempted to go out in it. The wind through the trees is too slow and lethargic - it looks like they're moving underwater rather than in air. It's not a proper summer rainstorm - I'm still waiting for one of those, where the ( Read more... )
