I forgot about livejournal! Since my last post I have passed my first year, been interrailing on my own, moved to Whitechapel with people I actually want as my flatmates, been to five festivals, painted a barn, fought with bookshelves, fought with Barclays, started my second year and MET STEPHEN FRY ( Read more... )

Hello you guys! Things have happened! I have cried in front of my personal adviser because I thought I was going to fail a module, then I continued crying as I realised that haha, no, I just lost about 5 marks. And I met trf_chan  in London, with m'Alex! We saw Les Mis, and I was convinced that there was a new Enjolras, but there was not, APPARENTLY (I ( Read more... )

You know what I love? When you have a sort of "AAAAAHHH NO"reaction to something, and then someone comes along who articulates the issue better than you ever could. Heard of Stephanie Grace, the racist Harvard emailer? Quote from Jill from Feministe that made me go "Yes, THAT'S IT!":

"Stephanie Grace sent out an email suggesting that black people ( Read more... )

To be completely honest, I was a bit sick of literary theory, drama rehearsals, even the history of music hall. I was sick of doing things because otherwise I would fail my module and not because I wanted to do them Right now, I'm writing for Reading Theory and Interpretation, my least favourite module, mostly because it has NO COHERENCY AT ALL.

I'm back from Beijing, and I forgot to post about it. I've been in Oslo for about a week now, getting nothing done except complaining about the weather and going to parties. I'm suffering from student holiday guilt, and it gets so much worse because I can't work when I'm at home. I try, but it just doesn't happen. To allow me to procrastinate for a ( Read more... )

Oh, hello! I've been a very good girl and have finished all my essays, and my final performance. I've made some new friends from drama. I've acquired a new, what to call her, frequent sleepover guest? Which apparently I brag about when drunk. Hurrah for pretty girls! (I'm just mentioning this as an excuse to use this icon.) It's spring in London, ( Read more... )

Woah, I haven't posted here in ages. I just dropped in to tell you that I'm obsessed with Criminal Minds and in love with Spencer Reid. Not only is MGG the prettiest man since Callum Keith Rennie, Reid takes his coffee the same way I do and he knows everything. Three guesses which Harry Potter character I fancied when I was a kid? Know it alls are ( Read more... )

Since my last post, I have:

Met Noel Fielding! In Beyond Retro.
Him: "Do you work here?"
Me: "Er... No? Oh, hello!" (handshake)
Him: "Nice hat!" and some other things but I won't bore you with the details of his amazing hair and amazing coat and utter loveliness. <3

Been to Venice! With citoyenne and Linda, two of my favourite people in all the world. We couldn ( Read more... )

In Australia, small breasts are apparently going to be banned in porn because they turn the paedophiles' crank. Of course. That's why completely hairless women aren't allowed in porn, either. OH WAIT. THEY ARE. No pubic hair = child like. Small breasts? Women of all ages have small breasts. Thank you, Australia, for telling me that my body is too ( Read more... )
