• My mum was taken in to hospital so for the past week my life has been: go to hospital, come back from hospital, do washing, make food, sleep, repeat. My brothers are more of a hindrance than a help. I am exhausted. Sorry if I don't reply to comments.

• Closer than ever to quitting college. Mel is a giant bitch and doesn't understand why I might not feel like (or even have the fucking time for) doing college work at the moment. She also decided to give David a hard time for, you know, supporting me. I may have to quit college just for the reason that if I see her, I'll want to punch her.

• Haven't played much of SoulSilver. I do have lots of steps on my pokewalker though and Phione loves me and keeps getting presents for me. :p

• Thank you, fastolf for my easter package! ♥ ♥ ♥ You sent it to my old address but it got redirected anyway so it's all good. XD The malteser bunny things are sooooo gooooood, I wish they sold them all year round (um yeah I started eating stuff already). And the Stig egg cup is awesome, I hope it wasn't too much of a ripoff. D: I sent you a box too but I only managed to get to the post office yesterday so I guess it'll be more likely to arrive next week now. Sorry. ;_;

My updates are sparse lately, I've basically been avoiding the whole internet because I have work to do and I really don't want to do it and don't want to have to read emails asking why I'm not busting my ass on it when I'm not even getting paid. I guess I should have a better attitude towards it but I just can't be bothered with it at the moment. So... um... sorry. It's not like I have much to write about anyway, I haven't done anything noteworthy. That's probably not going to change anytime soon, especially now that I'm back at college, but I'll try and at least keep up with my friends page... reeeeally can't be assed with DA or Y or anything else.

Man, I feel like I owe the random anonymous benefactor who gave me a paid account for two months a massive apology for totally wasting it like this. >_<

Thank you for the card, fastolf! :3 It is creepy and gross but I kind of like that, lol. I think the girl on the front is... um... special. XD I want to send something to you but I haven't bought it yet because I saw it the other day and didn't have any cash on me. It's only a little thing though. :P

Aaaaaagh, I'm supposed to go for a meal tonight and I don't want to! Eating seems like a really bad idea, I'll be too nervous or I'll be sick! I was never this nervous when me and James first started going out... I really regret saying anything now but it's too late to go back on it, omgpanicpanic. On top of feeling sick, I didn't sleep too well because I stayed up half the night watching Peep Show on DVD. Then I had a nightmare in which I lived out my dream of being the cool pilot chick from Aliens, only instead of aliens there were predators instead but either way I still died. D: I woke up thinking it was the scariest thing ever and decided that I'd never watch any of those films again, despite that I just bought the Alien box set. Of course, now that I'm awake I've come to my senses but as kind of a weird coincidence, my brother has just come down and put AVP on the big telly - apparently it was on last night. o_O

Well, at least it's sunny today. As much as I like the rain, it was getting pretty boring. Maybe I'll go in town early and do some drawing.

I went to London yesterday and it was pretty good. Whenever I go there I always think it's a really weird place, almost like another country (the underground + people trying to shove newspapers in your face + really crowded = scary ), so I'm glad that the others knew what they were doing because I would have gotten completely lost on my own. Hell of a lot of travelling to do in one day though, the drive up when we go to see NIN is going to be a piece of cake compared to that.

I bought the most beautiful graphic novel and I saw an amazing fabulous wonderful handmade storybook at the exhibition we went to and now I feel really bad about myself. I think these things are supposed to inspire you but I just look at them and think I'll never be that good. D:

I know I shouldn't think like that, I have way too much work to get done to start again now. At least everyone is away this weekend so I can concentrate on that and hopefully catch up on some of it.

Memes from fastolf.
( Read more... )

I decided to do this old meme again because I'm bored (I think the last time I did it was on GJ!). Listening to less harsh stuff than usual this week, mostly synth but there's some other stuff in there as well.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

1. X the I's and Dot the T's - Ultima Bleep
This reminds me a bit of Apoptygma Berzerk. It's good, but it keeps getting stuck in my head so I'll probably be sick of it soon. I want to open it up in audacity and clip the movie(?) quotes from the start and the end because they're so unnecessary and they really, REALLY annoy me. More than the stupid sounding guy in "Afterfire" by VNV Nation and I really hate him.

2. Blue Lights - Fictional
I've only just discovered this band - they're like Funker Vogt's synthy side project or something? I think this is their best song; the live version makes me jealous because it reminds me that I missed seeing Funker Vogt AND Grendel in Birmingham this year. :(

3. Nothing at All - Rob Dougan
Ahhhh, I really overplayed this when I first heard it but now that I haven't listened to the album for ages I'm totally into it again. The intro to this one sort of reminds me of FFVII and Silent Hill and it's like nothing else that I listen to, so it looks weird in my last.fm. The whole album's really epic though and it has the bonus instrumental CD that I always hear on Top Gear. XD

4. Return (Imperative Reaction mix) - Bruderschaft
This one sounds quite clubby at the start but it's not Ibiza shit, OK?! D: I like pretty much anything that Ronan Harris does because I am a sucker.

5. Endless Skies - VNV Nation
Matter and Form is one of the albums that I overlooked when I first got it and I don't know why because it's really quite good. I'm glad that I did though, because it means that I didn't play this song to death. It's just a nice, quietish sort of song... I sort of prefer it to Illusion now because I've listened to that song way too much.

6. Get Off - The Dandy Warhols
I can't remember why I decided to dig this up again... I used to really like it when I was a teenager and spent my life glued to MTV2. It reminds me of cowboys but I think that's because there were cowboys or something in the video. Ahaha, good times. XD

7. Super Trouper - Somegirl
lol omg sometimes I listen to utter cheeeeese. This is one of those songs that I shouldn't admit to enjoying, isn't it? I don't even like ABBA but it's so happy (at least, it is compared to what I usually listen to o_O), can't resist! D:

I'm not tagging anyone, if you want to do it, do it, if not then don't. XD
