Please leave me a comment (yes they are screened) with one or more of the following:
- a secret

- a compliment
- a death threat
- a love note
- a song

- anything else you want.

Then paste this in your journal for the fun to begin.

And in the beginning, there was the void; a rather pasty visage, and Statham said: Let there be hair.

Because I love Green Wing. Particularly Mac. And I kind of want to be Sue White.

This town ain't big enough for the both of us... Mmmm, eyeliner....

Erased the previous pile of tripe to yelp excitedly about all the new bands confirmed for T in the Park! So far we have:

Franz Ferdinand
The Arctic Monkeys
The Kaiser Chiefs
The Who
The Chilis
The Proclaimers!!!
Goldfrapp
The Go! Team
Placebo
Hard-Fi
The Magic Numbers
Editors
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Kooks

I would say this couldn't be any more awesome, but Queen, David Bowie, Hot Hot Heat, No Doubt and the rest of the ideal fantasy line-up away, could it be any more awesome?!!

Gina and I are cooler than you - BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST SEEN CHESNEY HAWKES LIVE!!!!!!!! He fondled my cheek, and his drummer/brother was hitting on me, took me backstage, bought me a drink, and gave me his drumstick.

I AM THE ONE AND ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I defy you to listen to it and not be moved.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN UNIVERSITY TOO LONG WHEN...
You actually like doing laundry at home where the washing machines work.
Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.
You'd rather clean than study especially if an essay is due.
"Oh shit how did it get so late!" comes out of your mouth at least once a night.
Parents' cooking become something you desire, not avoid.
You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas especially Neighbours and Diagnosis Murder.
You know the pizza boy by name and don't even need to read the menu.
You go to sleep when it's light and get up when it's dark.
You live for getting mail.
Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.
Prank phone calls become funny again.
You start thinking and sounding like your friends and your accent becomes a hybrid of West Country, Surrey and general Northern.
Highlighters are the coolest things on earth.
Rearranging your room is your favorite pastime.
Rubbish cheap £1 shops are so cool.
The weekend lasts from Thursday to Monday.

BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...
*That it didn't matter how my first lecture was, I'd still sleep through it.
*That I could change so much and barely realize it.
*That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
*No matter how 'cool' you were in school, no one here cares.
*That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed up
*That every clock on campus shows a different time.
*That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn't matter here.
*That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay due-date.
*That Chem Labs/Architecture studios take up more time than all my other classes put together.
*That you can know everything and fail a test.
*That you can know nothing and ace a test.
*That I could get used to almost anything found out about my friends.
*That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.
*That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that's still funny......!
*That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination
*That Psychology is really Biology, that Biology is really Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics is really Maths
*That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years.
*That it's possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by friends.

Our flat is all lovely and sparkly clean now! Plus, it turns out (after living here for three months) we do in fact have recycling facilities! Excellent! We bought a loverly fibreoptic tree for the kitcehn today, and I've spent about half an hour just watching it. *stupid grin* And we ate the Toblerone ice cream left from yesterday. Which reminds me of a certain someone...

Got my English essay back today - I got a C. Is it not just typical that I can get an A in Classics, which I'm only doing for two years, but the subject I actually intend to do my degree in I only get a C? Oh well, theat reminds me, I should start working on my Classics essay.. beginning with, you know, reading the book...

I don't know what to do vis-a-vis hot Philosophy guy - should I say anything? Buy him a Toblerone? Or just make the most of the last three hours that I will ever see him for?

Hehehe, last night Andy spent a while texted random questions to the Answer Any Question text service - one of them was 'Why are the sky and the sea blue? What would happen if the sea was brown?' The sky/sea blue answer was as you might expect, but to what would happen if the sea was brown, we received the immortal answer 'The sea wouldn't go brown.'

Your 2005 Song Is

Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz "Love forever love is free. Let's turn forever you and me." In 2005, you were loving life and feeling no pain.

So I tried to be good, and actually achieve something. Sealing the envelope of the first Christmas card, I got a papercut ON MY LIP. Not amused.

Franz Ferdinand was immense yesterday, it's been amazing to see Jen, and go out for Elle's birthday, and I am a terrible person who skipped Classics today to watch Old School with Jen. And that should be it for updates. No, wait, there's meant to be a blizzard tomorrow! Huzzah!

Hehehe, Clare, it may amaus eyou to know I am drunk as hlel. But the othewrs are going out to the stupid techno club, and i HAVE NO DESIRE TO GO.
