Hello.

My name is Elly and yes, I exist.

Music (music journalism for my tres small school mag, guitar and drum playing, v overexcessive amount of time finding, researching and listening to new music and singing practice) illness (been off school with fluish thing for last week) and growing backlog of work (four essay subjects, including a language ( Read more... )

Happy new years everybody!

I hope you had wonderful celebrations, and if you didn't, don't think by any means that they're reflective of the year to come!

For once I'm going to be a girl of few words and just take a minute to tell all my friends, wherever they may be, that they're loved and I think about them.

I appreciate I still have my friends ( Read more... )

...And here I am, back again. A whole term done!!
Hello everybody, sorry for the routine losing touch, hope all the people I haven't spoken to are well and I hope to speak to you soon. I've really missed you all, even if we didn't talk.
Festive spirit and all that...(is failing to feel christmassy and can't believe it's only two weeks)

I am going to become a literary genius. Yep, that's right. Will make it considerably easier to get into Uni with no maths G.C.S.E if I'm a Shakespearette. However, we're not talking your usual genius here, it's all for a reason. I'm going to be a rather pretentious genius with lots of random artistic urges that require millions of minions running ( Read more... )

Y'know, I have the best tip for anyone studying a language. Unfortunately, you have to love the language and have a desire to progress far for it to work, but still. Once you've got to the stage where you can write a few sentances without a dictionary have a try at this. If you write a diary, poetry, songs, or just like to write how you're feeling ( Read more... )

You have been warned...

"History is written by the victors." An Al Jazeera journalist.

I think that is perhaps the most perceptive and truthful statement I've heard. Who thinks about Bosnia, Somalia or Afghanistan now? How much of what we know about those situations is what we're told by the 'victors'? How many of the thousands of injustices and ( Read more... )

I really don't know what to say. Why do people have to be so bitter and bitchy? There's so much bad-feeling around, and it just pains me. Okay, I'll try elaborating. I'm talking about the Harry Potter fandom.

Hello all. I have been away, yet again, so sorry for the complete lack of human life from my end. Went away to celebrate my Grandma's 70th, it was so great. I worry for her though, she didn't think she was going to live until now, and she is beginning to think of herself as old. She never thinks of herself like that, and that's why she's stayed ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEE in *checks watch* 20 mins!!!!!!!!

Yayness! And I shall commemorate my 16th birthday among other things, by actually doing a proper entry!

Anyway, no time to berate myself now, now is a time of joyous celebration and all that lot.

Also, a special birthday treat from me (yes I know it's not exactly protocol for the ( Read more... )

Right, well. After roughly a week of having a Friends-Only journal, I've changed it back but kept some entries private which solves my problem. Probably should have done that in the first place. *Berates stupid self*.

Not much to say at present, life is getting ever more complicated, exams are looming, and deadlines mounting, but it'll be okay. It ( Read more... )
