This is the problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but in actuality we know nothing about each other. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Or ask something random. Something not obvious. Whatever ( Read more... )

another tiring day, made all the better by the bus running out of diesel about 100m from the school gate. so we all walked down to find out what had gone on and then sat on the stationary bus for an age until they sent another one. consequently, i arrived home about an hour late and that is my excuse for not doing any real work. i've practised ( Read more... )

had a very busy weekend, what with staying over at laura's on friday night and pulling an eight hour shift on saturday. also, i've had to write an english essay and do an opening and closing mock bar trial speech. but that's the (mostly) crap stuff. now on to the good bits ( Read more... )

just got back from the kes senior concert, which was good. apart from a clarinet solo from this year 7 (so good he made the senior concert) which, whilst being undeniably excellent, did last around ten minutes. and the yr 7 in question looked like a small version of tory mp, boris johnson ( Read more... )

i guess this is everyone's livejournal post today, but i'm very disappointed. forgive me for being an idealist, but i thought kerry might have a chance. it kind of shakes your faith in democracy. people never seem to be able to elect the right candidate ( Read more... )

today's been kind of good. well, work this morning was the epitome of dullness, but we had some excitement with an unexpected cancellation and generally nice people were staying for bed and breakfasts, so that's always a change. the sweet guy who knows my name and always wants the chest strap for the gym came too. i'm a real regular now ( Read more... )

i finally did some homework these holidays, which i am quite proud of. i spent yesterday in birmingham researching prospero in 'the tempest'. i had meant to write up my notes that evening, but it didn't happen, due to the libertines album that i'd just bought being more enticing. so i guess that'll be going down on saturday, because i'm off to work ( Read more... )

it was such a beautiful day in town today. the sky was blue, the autumn leaves were falling and i wasn't at school. i got my hair cut and it looks cute, the way it always does when i've just had it cut, and i'm not going to think about the horrors that face me as i'm growing it out. that can be faced on a not-so-good day ( Read more... )
