So last week was a bit of a  weird week. I was up in Norwich all week trying to get packed up and chilling out after my graduation and it ended up feeling a bit surreal - like taking a break from the real world. I didn't go to my grad ball in the end, as none of my close friends could make it, but I did go and see Inception instead... And I'm ( Read more... )

When I was a teenager and really unhappy I had three big escapes from my life: books, livejournal/fandom, and music. I was passionate about my music and fervent about finding new stuff, going to gigs. I would've said my love of music was one of the defining features of my personality.

Then I got all happy and lazy and complacent, and so wrapped up ( Read more... )

Last year's list, for posterity.

I really love keeping these lists, they're so much fun to look over at the end of the year. It is really shocking how much I forget that I've actually read.

I enjoyed keeping a list of all the books I read in 2008 so I thought I'd do it for this year too :) I don't think I'll set myself a target, however, this year - I found myself getting bizzarely worried towards the end of '08 that I wouldn't make the 50 as if it REALLY REALLY mattered. Hee.

It is so weird. I come on livejournal every day. I think I just assume I've been updating, when I really really haven't. In almost a month ( Read more... )

In fact its even less than a week until I reach the big two-oh. Scary. I intend to spend my last week doing the two things that typified my teenager years: drinking, and revising. Both in the sun assuming that its lasts. :) The weather has been so spectacularI have done some reading today (this book called Verbal Hygiene, which is suprisingly ( Read more... )
