This evening I am mainly listening to Pornography (my favourite Cure album), sitting on the sofa drinking Adnams & watching How Clean Is Your House & playing bass, bitching with Nikki about all the people on our course that we hate (which is most of them), playing with Hammond & sending texts ( Read more... )

Hooray, I finally have the internet back in my room! Dad & I had a mission & a half the afternoon, mainly featuring scrabbling around in the loft, making holes in the ceiling of the airing cupboard, pulling out half the furniture in the study & cutting up lots of cables because they were "arsed up". I'm sure it'll stop working again at some point. ( Read more... )

Thought I should let those of you who still have me on their friend's lists for some reason or other, that I am alive & all is going well! Just got back from two weeks of exploring America & Canada with the folks & currently trying to catch up with friends like a crazy one since I've been back. Went to a bloody blinding gig (Tortoise playing at one ( Read more... )

It's been a while, indeed! Things have been rather hectic recently, what with working & my suddenly increasing social life. Thoroughly enjoying myself though. This is just a quick round up of what's been happening, because I've been rather slack with the old journal recently, mainly due to there being no fully functioning internet connection in my ( Read more... )

The weekend was actually really nice, despite the tears & the rather melancholy situation. I met Andrew at Liverpool St around 11am & we ended walking & talking, until we reached Tower Bridge & guzzled over-priced coffee. The plan was to visit as many pubs from The Good Beer Guide based in central London as we could on a warm & busy Saturday ( Read more... )

Firstly, thanks to all of you who replied to my last post. Things have been difficult, but are getting better & you're kind words really helped. Secondly, I'm abso-bloody-exactly knackered ( Read more... )

I wasn't going to say anything until everything had been talked through & sorted out, but I thought it probably best to let people know. Andrew & I are in the process of breaking up & I'm going to visit him next weekend at uni to talk through how we feel & what we plan to do. It first came to light last weekend when we were on the phone talking ( Read more... )

Just a quick one before I collapse into bed, just to say that my first two days of full time employment so far have gone well. Currently working at a car dealership in Tiptree (where the jam comes from) doing credit control & other exciting office things. I'm having great fun with Elite & spent most of yesterday re-organising the filing carried out ( Read more... )

I had my last exam yesterday so I'm finally free! Getting picked up by Mum tomorrow at some point, so today will consist of packing up all my worldly possessions & faffing around. Yesterday was a good, yet incredibly random day! After the exam went & had lunch in The Treaty with Nikki & Amy, then wandered round the shops for a bit & managed to pick ( Read more... )

The meeting with my dissertation supervisor went well. I was early & nervous, but she's such a nice woman I managed to voice all of my ideas & she seemed to really like them. Quite a few of her supervisees have done similar projects, so she was a bit cheeky & photocopied the list of references from one of the studies she was marking & let me have ( Read more... )
