It's been ages since I have written on LiveJournal. I suppose I haven't really felt the need, nothing particularly life changing has happened ( Read more... )

Well it's house hunting time, yet again! It was all going so well, until I we realised that me and one of my friends have completely different ideas about where we want to live. Me being a bit suburban and spending my teens in the country means the idea of living in the town centre almost brings tears to my eyes. So my friend suggesting we move ( Read more... )

Have just realised that I haven't posted anything for five weeks. It's not like I've been busy. In fact the last month has mainly involved writing five essays, doing exercise videos in ill advised ways, hanging around the house and cooking. I have also done some more exciting things, such as going to my first football match, going to what could ( Read more... )

I ended up spending saturday night watching episodes of My So Called Life and moping around, as I wished I actually felt like going out. Watching My So Called Life cheered me up though! There's something so innocent and also not overdone about it. I don't really find a 15 year old Claire Danes that attractive anymore though,Jared Leto is brilliant ( Read more... )

Am feeling a bit weird at the moment. The dodgy Chinese buffet I have just had and the five glasses of wine aren't making it much better. I had my last lecture today, so I now have from now to September to write essays and a dissertation ( Read more... )

I have realised that I become grumpier the older I get and as I'm only 23 it's going to get worse. The other day I found myself at the entrance to the university library and found myself winging on the phone about how all the undergraduates look like they're preparing for an audition for Skins. My friend pointed out that I'm only jealous and at ( Read more... )

Cos I've had placements for the last year, I've forgotten just how long it takes to write a good essay and have been going mad today editing and re-editing an essay. At least I'm passionate about the subject, cos if I didn't care and wasn't really interested in disability or Social Work I guess it would be a lot harder and I wouldn't give a shit ( Read more... )

I have a bit of a confession about my changing musical taste. After years of insisting that mainstream indie is where it is at and insisting on only going to indie club nights, I have now started listening to things like The Chemical Brothers, Klaxons and Hot Chip. Okay this is mainstream dance with a slight indie edge, but I'm enjoying opening up ( Read more... )

I watched Control this weekend and really enjoyed it. I think knowing the music helped, but I also think that it was a sensitive presentation. I didn't realise it was black and white til I started watching, but I think this made it more suited to the era and set the tone. It showed Ian Curtis warts and all, including his affair and the way he ( Read more... )

Wow Skins was amazing this week. Normally I try to hide the fact that I watch cos: 1) it is not really aimed at my age group and 2) I should have better things to do. I must admit that I am often annoyed by the lack of originality and the fact that I enjoy it cos I basically wish I was having that much fun when I was 17 ( Read more... )
