I had the best dream this morning. It was an astonishing combination of all the areas of my current life. I know only very dull people talk about their dreams, and generally the dream is only interesting to the person who had them, but I mainly write this journal for myself so here goes. And I loved hearing Skye's dream about kittens being present ( Read more... )

oh chuckle chuckle. Just as I was about to start writing this the bizarreness of my situation hit home. I'm getting distracted by Borat on the massive plasma screen here in the "volunteers lounge" remembering how hilarious and smart parts of it were, then getting interrupted by a nurse telling me my mobile heart monitor had stopped working. I had ( Read more... )

I'm really super bloody motherfucking tired. But in quite a nice way. I'm lying on my bed in my room after 3 days in various beds that weren't mine and more importantly were hugely uncomfortable. The sun is shining and all I can see out of my window when I lie down is bright blue sky and some branches with fresh green leaves. Its been a while since ( Read more... )

Solomon came to stay! Such a whirlwind visit. I'm glad I was organised this time and whisked her away, with Toby also, to Stockholm. The weather was stunning- that bright clear sunshine that fails to warm, but succeeds in setting off this beautiful city where you are rarely far from stretches of sparkling blue water. It felt good to get out of ( Read more... )

I saw Bjork last night. It was bloody amazing. It was such a different experience to any other concert I've been to, in the sense that I became so involved in the music, that at times I would forget where I was, I would stop thinking and it would be a completely sensory experience. The music seemed to swell around me. During Army of Me, with that ( Read more... )

So LLGFF is over. I'm terribly sad its over! But at least new stuff is happening. After Tuesday the library chapter of my career will be over. I'm convinced they all hate me in the library now. I feel my name is pretty much mud there after I called in off my bloody face at lunch time telling them I couldn't come in, and the reason for this was that ( Read more... )

I'm so frustrated. Plans have suddenly gone awry! I've found out that I cannot apply directly to the AHRC, but have to do it through UCL. And their deadline has passed. Fucking cunts. They said I needed to apply for the MA by the end of February to be considered for AHRC funding. Which I did. Then they take bloody ages to offer me a place. By which ( Read more... )

So yesterday evening I pretty much spent 4 hours making sure the green room was the perfect place for RuPaul. And he didn't even go in. He sashayed into the building, was fabulous, watched the movie, then sashayed out. He didn't touch his room temperature water in a tall glass with a straw. He looked bloody amazing though. The inner drag queen's ( Read more... )

I keep trying to write an entry but the amount of events, feelings and ideas I want to put in writing just keeps getting bigger and the longer I leave it, the more intimidated I feel about writing an entry! I must click post rather than save draft when I get shooed away from this computer ( Read more... )
