Mid thesis I can't find the time to write much anywhere but it's been so long since I've had a blether here that I thought it time to write again. I've been so flat out with writing, finishing weekly assignments, working in the school clinic, playing the occasional gig and rehearsing with various bands that everything else seems to suffer. I know ( Read more... )

Been away for a few weeks as I had exams, which went reasonably well (results out tomorrow, I'm expecting a credit or distinction in both). 2 hours after my last exam I was on a plane to Sydney to play the first date of our East Coast tour. It, like all the gigs we played, went really well and garnered a decent attendance. It was great hanging out ( Read more... )

15. Despite family and friends commenting on the predictability of me falling in love with the first American I met, it was still absolutely staggering to me that someone this exciting and exotic should like me. Even the teachers at school seemed excited for us. In retrospect we must have been astonishingly nauseating to be around, which is ( Read more... )

11. Two days after turning 21 I took over managing a bushwalking and camping store. I was far more interested with what CDs we'd play and which friends I could hire than actually selling stuff, but it was nice having a job that actually paid when hardly anyone I knew did. I ran it till I left for the UK in 1998 ( Read more... )

It feels like I'm starting Live Journal all over again, despite some friendly people still being on here from years ago (hello kineticfactory, bethiacathrain, malo23, hazeyjayne and mysterbey!) I thought I'd post this list of factoids about my life. It seems somehow more meaningful here than in Facebook. Feel free to ignore it completely ( Read more... )

With one exam over and the next one a week away I can allow myself a little time to post, though few people I was sharing LJ with in my heyday of it's use (06-07) are still here it seems. I wonder how many people have been lured away by Facebook ( Read more... )

It’s a thing of eternal wonder and beauty. It’s timeless and it’s a real shame that she’s no longer singing. I wonder if it’s possible to find where she is and ask her if she’d like to contribute her gorgeous vocals to a song I could write. Imagine writing for her voice or hearing words you’d written sung in her warm tones ( Read more... )

For some reason the current crisis in Iran (beautifully and harrowingly recounted in this article by Robert Fisk - http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-irans-day-of-destiny-1706010.html) ( Read more... )

Let's bring you up to speed then Live Journal. Much has been happening since last I posted properly. I'll lay aside the pressing pharmacology assignment for the time being and try and bring some sense of the now to this most overlooked of blogs ( Read more... )

But I'm back in (at least temporary) love with Live Journal now. So nice to come back to it and see friends still here and posts still popping up.
So much school work on at the moment which I must get back to. 500 words about the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses. easy peasy.
Will be back here soon...
