I'm suffering.
I was going through my chest of drawers to see what tops fitted, but I guess I must have delved too deep in there, because I started sneezing like nobody’s business (this was 7 hours ago), and I haven’t really stopped since. If I get a cold now, I’m going to be mighty pissed. I have a box of tissues next to me. I keep lobbing the used ones towards the bin. I daren’t look...

I’ve just remembered the dream I had this morning. There was more to it than this, but I can only remember this ‘scene’: @afgavinstan was glaring and shouting at me in the voice (and style) of Malcolm Tucker. It was slightly frightening, but in an awesome way :D

I GOT THE JOB!!! It sounds quite daunting though; I’ll be managing the entire reception area. I will be the official face of the Warrington branch of Charter Recruitment! Yikes… I’m also expected to create a new filing/admin system, because the one at the moment isn’t very efficient, apparently. The computer booking forms need changing and he wants me to start coming up...

I’m finding it rather amusing and peculiar that my emotions are being a little bit wobbly at the moment. For example, I was watching two volcano films recently (Volcano and Dante’s Peak, if you’re interested), and in both films a situation arises where a dog is joyfully reunited with its owners. In both cases I started crying with joy. This is not like me at all. I was...

Movies like Inception and The Matrix are like a religion. If you want to believe in it fervently enough, if you want to have faith, you’ll look for every single answer that lets you connect the dots. Where there are blanks, you will fill them in as best fits your belief. Nothing’s going to…

So I went to see Inception last night with Sasha. We both agree it was excellent. I especially loved the anti-gravity parts and the time concept. I actually had a dream about it (funnily enough). I don’t think it was about the film, it was about the concept of having a dream within a dream. In my dream I thought I was awake, but I was unsure of which level of reality I was on. When I...

One of my favourite quotes:
Sean Astin: “Where’s the light coming from?” Andrew Lesnie (Cinematographer): “The same place as the music” -from The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, cast commentary.

Just a quick blog (hopefully) to say that I’m not dead, I’ve just been cross stitching, and testing myself to see if I can go a whole weekend without the internet. Turns out I can! I have recently just begun my 13 week training programme at Charter. The staff are fairly… reluctant to show any enthusiasm (think of that episode of Spaced, where Daisy tries to sign on, but that guy...

Wasted Daylight
Heat is a heavy head,  Keeps me in my bed. Push aside the pillow,  The whole room just turned yellow. Three in the afternoon,  We still haven’t moved. Siren sighs echo,  A pulse through our window. Oh, oh, oh, oh!  I don’t mind… I don’t mind…  This wasted, shaded daylight!  I don’t mind… I don’t mind…  This wasted, shaded daylight!  Pulling the...

Oooops.
I feel bad… I got paid today, and I’m supposed to be saving. Instead I’ve bought 4 DVDs (Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Everlasting Moments, Volcano and Dante’s Peak) and 5 packets of strawberry Pocky. In my defence, I can only get Mikado from Asda at the moment. I need MOAR Japanese sweets! Sasha brought some Pocky back from Japan when she went 3 years ago,...

I have returned from town, and I’m feeling extraordinarily cheerful! I’m going to Charter on Monday, and I found out that whilst I’m training/in placement, I get an extra £15 a week! Obviously, I’ll keep this fairly hush hush from the parents, lest they demand more money from me. The Lancashire Tea Room… and More was excellent. Smelt a bit weird inside. Of new, I...

I have to go to town in less than an hour. However, I’ve decided to go in early, because I want to go to this newfangled “Lancashire Tea Room… and more”. The ‘more’ part is basically that it’s a pancake house. That’s right: tea and pancakes in one convenient location. You’ve sold me. I shall sit in there for an hour (after having browsed...

My sister graduated yesterday. I think I coped with it rather well; I congratulated her, didn’t burst into tears and didn’t set fire to her. This was quite an accomplishment. My grandparents came up to go to the ceremony (they live about an hour and a half away), and they very kindly gave me a Forget Me Not “Good Luck” teddy bear. They meant well, I’m sure, but...

Wake Me Up In Annarchy: Sometimes I Wish... →
I could slow down the flow of time and truly enjoy each moment to the fullest. I could undo every mistake I made, and undo all the damage I’ve done. I could be stronger, and share my strength with those who rely on me. I could sit on the edge of a Lunar crater and watch the Earthrise. I…

Sometimes I hate being me
(This was written drunk, at 2am. Bear with me) Maybe it’s just the alcohol talking, but it happens every time I go on a night out. I can be having the best of times, but as soon as I get home, it becomes a whole conscious envelopment of regret. I want to tear off my skin, tear off my entire persona, strip my personality down to its roots - to the things I like most about myself: my taste...

I’m at Sasha’s listening to Stars’ new album. It’s a shame she lives all the way in Leigh; I could hang around here all day. Her room is a treasure trove of awesome. I found a parasol that a teddy bear uses. That’s just how cool she is.
