I'm sorry -- I know none of you are even vaguely interested in this -- but, yeah, humour me.

I can't imagine I will ever stop loving this book -- well, rightly, play. I've seen it performed a few times (including with

Lady Gaga has a lot more class in my head, somehow. She's quirky and confident and not slutty. It's nice.

Aaaanyway. 'Argh' is a suitable word to describe my life right now, I think. Aids to survival include Being Human (OMFG), Heroes (back tonight!!), On Beauty by Zadie Smith and glittery eyeliner (<3).

Also, I've lost my copy of Whisper War ( Read more... )

So, um, yes. I'm a bit less than halfway through Brideshead Revisited, which I've put my mind to finishing before term starts or at least shortly afterwards, meaning a restriction on the 3rd Stravaganza until I've read another chunk of Waugh. (I do love him, and dear god my love for Charles (Jeremy Irons!) knows no bounds, it's just that it's ( Read more... )

Rather underwhelmed by the 11!news, though I'm sure he'll grow on me (as most things/people do) - it's just, idk, he looks like the love child of RPattz and Bryan Dick, neither of whom I find at all attractive, so.

I can has awesome things! I went shopping yesterday and bought numerous items of magnificence including the prettiest thank-you cards known to man, yummy-smelling tea tree conditioner for 64p (tyvm Superdrug), baby-pink liquid eyeliner (cutest thing ever), delicious body-spray (it's for men but whatever, it smells fabulous) and A SESAME STREET T- ( Read more... )

Things that have happened since we last spoke:

(!) I had a dream featuring Brendon Urie. That was pretty awesome, since I never have cool dreams, only weird ones...
(") I turned 17. Erm?
(£) A lot of guitar hero.
($) A pirate hot water bottle, a book about how girls > boys, Spaceballs, and various other things of awesomeness...
(%) Mamma Mia! Oh ( Read more... )

For reasons I think it best not to explain, I have been going around exclaiming "VIVE LA REVOLUCION!" for the past 24 hours.

Other thing: I'm kinda late to the Dark Knight party but, really, I wasn't as blown away as everyone seems to think I should've been. Mainly I was (a) loving the SWAT team van driver guy, (b) being pleased about ( Read more... )
