This whole having to think thing is bloody hard work. I'd forgotten; it's been so long. Enjoyable though, even if so far it has not really been hanging together too well. For example, yesterday we found out about our assessed work, today we learnt about psychosis. Which was interesting (I'm sure that makes me sound like one sick puppy, but it was ( Read more... )

I have been very quiet recently. There is a lot to say, but not much of much interest really. I've been gallivanting about, to London, Essex, Brighton, on a whistle-stop tour of friends and relations, followed by a few days of rest, and then on Monday I started school. So I am now officially a trainee clinical psychologist, and although I can't ( Read more... )

I really am. I lost my passport in New York. It was really quite traumatic, I had to come back a day later and everything. It was really weird though - I had it, and then I just didn't. Admittedly, I had been drinking a bit, but I had all my other valuables (cards, phone, camera, Marc Jacobs clothes), and no passport. This is most unlike me - I don ( Read more... )

So I'm all packed and ready to go and it's still 2 hours till my train. Which is about an hour before I can reasonably leave and not wonder why I have consumed a good portion of my day sitting in Piccadilly station. Excellent work Sarah. My suitcase also seems alarmingly empty. Clearly the only answer is to take full advantage of all the shopping ( Read more... )

I finished work on Friday, I now have 3 weeks off till I start school. Hurrah! And I'm using it well - New York on Wednesday, some catching up with various people when I get back, and general time to play Wii and watch movies ( Read more... )

I have been seeing lots of personalised numberplates recently. I liked D15MAL - very appropriate for Manchester, but thought that the guy driving SPY 21 was a twat. And also a very bad spy; way to blow your cover. I have also noticed that Chorley has a black cloud hanging over it seemingly at all times. Splendid. 

I want to be a speaking clock voice How cool would that be?

taken to wearing shorts at every conceivable opportunity, even though the Great British Summer does not really justify it. At all. Does that make me strange? i should point out that these are sensible long shorts, not hot pants. Nobody needs to see that much of my legs.

I really really really hate it when people compare themselves or others to Nazis. I don't know why that's suddenly started bothering me;* I'm fairly certain it never used to even register. But on seeing Richard Madeley (who, it's fair to say, annoys me at the best of times) discuss how he'd thrown Jamie Oliver out of his kitchen because he "turns ( Read more... )

A nice Sunday morning walk to get the papers. A complete cunt driving purposely (it's a really wide road...) close to the pavement where there's a huge fucking puddle. A very wet Sarah.* A very very angry Sarah. For the first time in my life I contemplated running after a car and jumping on the windscreen. Sadly, I knew the water would slow me down ( Read more... )
