Flocking: not just for the birds. Puns: never worth the effort.
This is my journal. It has a pretentious title, an annoying layout and a tendency towards friends-locking, because there can't be that many people who are interested in the minutiae of my daily life ( Read more... ) -
"it's called meningitis, very popular is schools?"
In all seriousness: "British Gas made a mistake. You will get a rebate."
It's like TPTB aren't even trying to be mystical anymore. Pretty soon people are going to start getting horoscopes saying "on Thursday you'll be splashed by a passing car" or "on Friday you'll avoid the subway thinking the scary-looking kids might mug you, but they're actually ( Read more... ) -

I'm not going to lie, my favourite thing about my university is the calibre of its graffiti. -
how do you spell 'non-sequiteur'?
So far this weekend I've found out that a close friend needs major brain surgery, my grandma's had a stroke and my grandad's had a heart attack (this is actually comfortingly routine - he's had eight and the family are starting to see it less as an illness and more as a particularly reckless hobby, like skydiving or bear wrestling).

one to hold the ladder and one to change the fish

It doesn't go anywhere, but I think we all know that I'm crap at finishing things, so I figured I may as well post it here anyway.

My computer, it is so broken. Well, not broken, but full of weird viruses and malignant software which is making my hard drive...I'm not entirely sure. Melt, as far as I can tell. Point being, I haven't had the internet in ages and probably won't get it back for even longer, so I'm sorry if I miss anything important. I will get back to you ( Read more... ) -

What They Said meme. I realise I'm doing a lot of these things of late, but this one is actually interesting. I tag all of you, because I want your music.
Upload five songs which you love because of a specific lyric. Explain yourself. Make everyone else do the same. Go!
