I do so love being ID'd a week before my 22nd birthday. It's always good to know that in spite of all scary adult type stresses that may occur, I've managed to retain my babyfaced looks. Well, I shall be most thankful when I'm 30, even if being refused admission to a club night I'd been looking forward to for ages isn't so funny at the time ( Read more... )

Is this actually the bestest sad-yet-jaunty song in existence? I think so!

Today I have mostly been going through that whole uni doubting thing. Just to bring in some minor drama, of course. I seem to have been daydreaming a little too much about how utterly nice it would be to run away to some remote Asian town. Oh, but it would be marvo to ( Read more... )

Tell me, o infinitely wiser flist, can Martini just about fit into the "wine" bracket? I have Spike's birthday curry thing to attend in a bit, and I'm a little anxious about causing a huge faux pas by bringing...well, controversially pleasant tasting alcohol in place of the stated wine. It's not easy being the only non wine drinker in the ( Read more... )

Yes oh fucking yes! Which of my re-kindled spazz objects happens to now be playing the Academy on St Paddy's? None other than Sultans of Ping, that's who! I thought they'd been eaten by some mysterious beast years ago! And there I was, doing my usual essay-dodging rounds of every gig guide in these parts, still feeling a little upset at my ( Read more... )

Hello. How is everyone at this fine hour?

Actually, that makes it sound as though I haven't been faithfully keeping up with your many and varied exploits in the time since I last updated. Whereas really I've continued to pad around here whilst keeping entirely schtum about my own goings-on, of course. This is unfortunate, as it only leaves room ( Read more... )

Ooh 'eck but it's chilly today. In fact, if hello_kitty_fan is to be believed, below freezing. It's been an absolutely amazing, crisp, bitter day in fact, almost enough to persuade me to forget about the current mounting essay panic and run away somewhere instead. It was really too gorgeous outside to be stuck here pretending to plan an essay, especially when ( Read more... )

I feel a little unusual today. It's really extremely rare that illness strikes, so naturally when it does swoop down I have to be as melodramatic about it as possible. The fact that I'm not really all that unwell is a dead giveaway. Still, there's been lots of pathetic snivelling and clutching of the brow going on round the 'hood today. And ( Read more... )

Ever had that feeling where you've had such a (supposed) affinity with someone that you hold an entirely platonic yet intense affection for them, despite the fact they've never been a huge part of your life ( Read more... )

Oh, this week has been odd. I was going to post a couple of days ago and attempt to explain stuff in my reliably long-winded manner, but I'm very glad I didn't now as I would have ended up whingeing and generally being the above and it would have been rubbish. And this is the first time I've had proper time to myself in ages and I'm finding it ( Read more... )

Le weekend turned out rather jolly, then. Friday night was divided equally between semi-cavorting to cheese on Canal Street with Ang's, ahem, vibrant workmates, and then furthering my unique dancing style at Jilly's after Ang, Kay and I had made our polite excuses and escaped to the all-nighter. We quite obviously didn't make it past four, but ( Read more... )
