Writer's Block: Don't You Forget about Me

RIP John Hughes. In honor of the master of the teen movie, what is your favorite teen flick?

This makes me feel really sad! Its just odd when the creator of something you've enjoyed isn't around anymore =( What a cool guy. we'll forgive him for weird science lol and various other weirdness from the 80's. Its so sad that it was unexpected and so young too...

I wonder what the brat pack are feeling? He was a huge part of their lives, especially Molly Ringwald, who was basically his muse!
I love the Breakfast Club! I love Ferris Bueller!

My favourite teen flick is hard to pick I guess, as a nineties child I can't help but love she's all that (although I haven't seen that onefor ages,our videowent missing) and save the last dance lol but my ultimate fave is probably clueless. I find it kinda weird that the whole world loves 'teen' stories and 'teen' lifestyle, and seeing as few of my fave films are teen movies am I gonna be a creep for liking them when I'm old? haha I suppose not, stories are stories really. I'll probably still be cranking out those films when I'm 80 lol.

Hey hey hey heey! Oohhh ooh ooooh, oh-woaaah!

I'll be alone, dancin you know it baby. lal-la-la-laa,la-la-la-laaa,la-la-la-laaa,la-la-la-laa-la-la-la-la-la-laaa.......

Writer's Block: Birthday Shout-out

2009-08-01T00:01:50Z

Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Which of her seven Harry Potter novels do you think is the most satisfying read?

View 510 Answers

The Third! Time travel! Honeydukes! Sirius! Patronus! (Patroni?)

At least that's my guttlery instinctivous answer.

I've been thinking lately more than once that I should re-read the books. After being a crazy fan, although more nerdy than geeky (I knew a lot of odd information and could recite spells but I never dressed up for any of the midnight buyings! ) it's so weird that I've mostly forgotten all of those spelunking gems that reside in the wizarding world.

As a young fourteen year old looking back on my young elleven year old self, I couldn't believe how satisfied I was with the Harry Potter films, my periphery feelings told me that I'd always hated the films- the blatant disregard for WRITTEN descriptions (blue eyes?! BLEU?!), the always non-celebratory and consistently coldly blue cintematography (yay, Harry defeated Voldermort but don't forget it's a castle, and castles are always cold- no warmth for you!) , the "sshhh, don't say anything in the media and it won't be noticed" CRAP acting from Daniel and Rupert and Emma (okay, Rupert had some good moments- the slugs come to mind and Emma's probably the only one who can convince a spectator of an emotion other than I'm just dying to be naked in front of a horse please turn the air conditioning up *cough* WOODEN RADCLIFFE *cough* .... yet an old diary entry written all those nine years ago revealed itself to be very complimentry of the first movies and I must say it makes me feel slightly wistful for those peachy days when I was a lot less disdainful.

It was such a unique phenomenon for kids all over the world to get truly hooked on these books and literally grow up with them, I was elleven when I first got hold of the book and eighteen when the last one came out, it was weirdly illustrative to have the end of an era coincide with the time when the rest of the world wanted me to grow up.

As my twenty yeard old self now, maybe I have matured a little bit because I finally realise the motive$ behind the movies and I can finally look at them as a seperate entity, although not entirely my bag.....................l o n g p a u s e........................ I can appreciate that for a lot of people they kind of keep the realm open.
Maybe I just want to go back to those days of buying chocolate frogs from tesco and seriously pondering whether I was a shrewdified ravenclaw or an awkwardery hufflepuff (okay, okay! I was geeky not nerdy!).I miss that uncharted place where I knew what those books were about and the excitement and passion they held. As the world gets bigger but the roads faintly more engrained, going back to familiar territory feels comforting yet mysterious. Maybe I'm being too sentimental but my curiosity is back, I'll give em another go and get back to the question!

Happy Birthday Jo! I'll send you some Loubitins in the post! x

now when the mc rhyming and the dj cutting I want yall to just get down...

cmon shake n bake do whatever it takes!

I got an award for my film! It was really funny, my school put on a show-reel of the best of the best (sir!) in a studio, so I got to see my funny thing on a big screen- pretty cool, but I wasn't watching it properly just listening. I got such warm applause! even though about four people in the whole room actually knew who I was lol They had a media lady and I had to pose for my picture- little bit of a blur, can't actually recall what my face was doing, oh well!

I finally saw a spiegal tent =) wow historical! I think JK Rowling must've got some ideas, because they're like a tent and can fold down but they've got beams and windows and wooden floors, really nice! There was a burlesque type club night thing going on (even though it was pitch blue and white outside!) nothing rude! they had this reallly cool lady on a high rope (airreal artiste) who managed to shimmy and wink all 40's style whilst high above! and a band and this victorian rapper who was going on about earl grey tea and other stuff. really fun, the music got this group of men dancing arm and arm , in fred and ginger style dance. :-)

I don't think I can type anymore, feeling lazy. Hark ellypsis! Bookmarking: rockabilly explosion, king-hair needing a mirror, staying at the warehouse, beyond retro, biiig eating, watermelon, famous people in the street, synedoche new york (someone over egged the pudding), laurence llwelyn bowen is a hulking beast targeting the unsuspecting, scorching hot weather- booo.
summer summer summer time, time to sit back and unwind. So they say.

Ugh I have to watch all of these gnarly films for film studies, including the exorcist.
I don't watch films like this okay? so will you please not set them on to the curriculum, kapeesh?? Good.
What's that? you can't hear me because I'm communicating into the completely nebulous livejournal and not to your face? well that's just too bad then isn't it!

It's funny how perfectly normal it is for your teacher to be talking about a woman (in a film) being torn apart by two lorries but then when you get home you realise that you actually have to watch it x___X ugg

I've just started watching the hilarious freaks and geeks- thus far I've only watched the first episode but it's easy to see why it's so popular, it made me cry (er, emotional much?)! lol but it's a really good show =) (i am going to STAB livejournal with something very sharp soon, it keeps messing everything up)

lol I'm not geeky enough to know what any of these are but lol at 'Apple' and the westside 'Windows' ones and lol that they made the hands (sort of) match him

haha I typed freak into google and this being came up: there were loads of these mud-cyber people (including mini kid monsters) at shambala lol...

Spent most of today in Ikea with my mum, it's really funny being aware that my sister really has 'flown the nest' normally she might be expected to help out but it really was just us two.
It was pretty succesful. Even though Ikea is a bit like walking into some magical fog out of Harry Potter where you're pretty trapped and dehydrated within 10 minutes and suddenly find yourself looking adoringly at cheese graters and then not quite understanding how it's now 10 o'clock and once you're out into the air not quite understanding how you actually even got out of the damn place. lol. It was okay. We got a rolly computer chair and a chair for my desk so that's all good. We saw some friends at the exit that we hadn't seen in a while which was nice, they were pretty exhausted too lol.

Oh dear, I have an unrequitable crush * '____' * Only two or so more weeks of this. To me, the feeling of making someone blush is really ...... , because normally I feel like I'm the one who's blushing at nearly everything and embarrasing myself but I made someone else visibly blush unexpectedly and I don't know why they did- very strange!

Do you believe in fate? Why or why not?

Submitted By and2c_hersmile

View 501 Answers

Oh god I don't know what I believe anymore. Does fate mean that everything is completely mapped out? That sh!t is a natural development when devouring life? I think the antidote to fate- who knows if fate is a good or bad thing- maybe not the anitdote but maybe the gelling agent or petrol or pickling diversion to fate is creativity. everybody has to express themselves in someway, if you send something *in articulate hand gesture* out there whether it affects the masses or just your daily thinking, whatever you create is something new that fate hadn't made so even if its a small wave through a grid locked path, something has changed.

Fate is about pattern. Routine can be comfortable but healthy people are the ones who can juggle and you can't do that standing still. It feels like a really happy life is about balance. From what I see, that's what the wise are always trying to tell us but the human condition makes balancing things difficult. When we sleep, we dream. When we float in water we're supported by millions of watery atoms. Crying and laughter get mixed often. Two negatives create a positive. Those are the juicy bits between the two slices of bread.

The Wire's on tv right now and blasting it's rather cool Tom Waits theme tune, I'm probably going to switch it off when it actually begins.. I haven't really watched the wire before, I wanted to get into it because I read a lot of the hype but anytime I've tried I can't get into it. I dunno if its because I didn't catch the first one but it just feels too cold and annoying so I'm not gonna bother. I'm annoyed I missed out on The Heroes swoop as well because that show looked really good. and Lost lol was taken away from me because it switched to Sky which I don't have. Which is a very good thing haha I watch too much tv as it is.

We found a dishwasher today, claiming to be 100% perfect.

Shall I be cryptic and end this entry here?

Shall I enhace the mystery and depart with some visual stimuli (now now nothing of that sort!)? Yes why not. Here's some nice pictures of rainbow cake because its pretty amazing-

Shall I stop being annoying? :-P

Today was a boiling hot day of: freaking out, Haunch of Venison Museum (its amazing! I hope to go again and sneak some pictures of the darkness it beholds, I've never been to it before, it's situated right near this crazy road of designer outlets with posh madames strolling around everywhere), swapping a heavy bag to share the load gang, travelling on the train with too many business men in suits- really hate that, pret a manger sandwich (yay! but i couldn't get the delicious beyond delicious one) and yoga bunny detox, eating lunch on a wall gang, clutching my billowing shirt dress and leaving this gerchwood or whatever painting prize opening because I absolutely hate those as well but was persuaded to go but then I swiftly left. oh dear.
Really didn't appreciate the heat very much today but its nice not to suffer in the streets.
In other words: i am rather stressed and avoiding a lot of things.
I am also a huge wimp and ache from my attempts to 'work out' or whatever the hip kids are calling it these days. I need to start yoga again- that's the good stuff, once you know it you can take it with you wherever you go.
I'll cheer myself up with this teefed survey about cartoonage and a nice cup of redbush earl grey tea and then I shall fetch my pipe and slippers.

I need your loo-oove I'm a broken roo-oooo-ssse >____

2009-04-17T01:04:12Z

I've become mesmerised with the anime Nana, I've not really watched any anime seires type things before, it's so amazing! The Japanese are always so poetic and the animation is really astonishing at times- ahhh, lol. After watching it I tend to end up with a lump in my throat!

I've been on easter break. going good, so near to the end D: :-O i need to get work done though. chocolate intake has raised significantly. lindt bunny from the fridge too nice, just like the texture of charlie eating a wonka bar. Cousins and... what is the collective term for an uncle and aunty? came to visit. I don't actually call them by their titles only by their names, much better that way, their other nephews say 'aunty' and it sounds so weird.
We went to the Royal Acadamy. Kuniyoshi exhibition was very nice, quite a treat actually. (lol japanorama or what lol) Many adventures were had.

Coming up with songs all the time, I really need to play an instrument. Learning an instrument feels quite mathematical, my brain doesn't want to work that way but I will bend it to my will- oh yes. one day. I can type and sing at the same time, so I know it's within me!

This break has felt a lot like my birthday- I have a new chocolate coloured lol (has my new diet had anything to do with my colour choice?!) canon camera (whee!) that my granny gave me the money for at christmas (which is my actual birthday) but I've only got round to getting it now and I bought myself a new sony mp3 walkman both of which are rather too slick for their own good- I can't handle it! Its so hard putting music back onto a new player, I get all anxious about what should go in and how, I've put in quite a lot but its so difficult, I have a lot of music... Also- amazingly whilst sorting my room out I found 65 pounds in the pocket of an old bag- really very very odd! But nice, I don't really know what to do with it!

I am craving a sandwich I had three days ago. Pret sandwiches are so tasty, why must that be. Why must I still be awake. goodbye.

yummy mars ice cream is yummy

2009-04-05T20:46:12Z

haha.... so funny. I was randomly looking up spirulina and came across this. kids <3

I went to portabello today but nearly everything was closed =( Saturday's the day I suppose. We went to the 3 pound second hand shop and I got this really lovely dress that has painted tulips on it with a polka dot background. I really wanted this wonderful dress that the man said was hand made in afganistan, it's the shop where they sell the knitted slippers (that ones been there all my life) and some embroidery is like.. 150 pounds because its so intricate. but it was 55 pounds, he offered 45, but to quote timbaland, as I very often do, I aint go no money. But I just might, just might, see what I can do. I also got some chinese mary-jane shoes for 3.50 which was a big suprise because I've always wanted some so that was nice. and a little spirograph type thing that was pretty cheap 55p , hope it's good!

and then it turned into a nice stroll in holland park which smells so lovely with all the flowers. There was this hilarious sand coloured labrodor which was really content in the grass and this little girl was getting really frustrated because he wouldn't get the ball that was about 4 feet away from him, after a little while he showed some signs of interest then briefly walked in the direction of the ball but then his head turned about 5 degrees and it was clear he hadn't the foggiest clue what he was meant to be doing, I can't really describe why it was so funny but it really was so so hilarious... So dopey and golden.

I can't stop flicking through my finished English coursework and staring at it in my sore pen strained fingers. I'm in a bit of daze of disbelief. I don't know if anybody else does this. It's finished!

this is a survey I got from x_jointhedots, so I'm reposting it now (even though it's old news!).

I decided I wasn't going to watch series 2 of skins (because it's just a franchise now and pretty smug with it's own cheesiness) but I ended up practically watching the whole series back to back because I couldn't sleep and it was pretty gripping. Ehhh! Some of it is extremly funny (they're good with parodies) but it makes me feel sick that there are kids out there so impressed with it and thinking the characters are so amazing. Every single female is treated like a sex object and either sees sex as currency or a weapon. It's so outrageous. Its pretty hardcore, I can't believe my cousins are allowed to watch it, if my aunt knew what it was like there'd be noooo way. But they also watch rubbish like two pints of lager and packet of crisps so what can ya do.

19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?

I went to the warehouse my Granny's been paying extortionate money for but it's all being cleared out now so the chargings over thank goodness and some of it went to auction. There were so many amazing things, lots of grand furniture and... memories I suppose. It was fun whilst we were in there but afterwards I felt so itchy and affected lol. We brought back some vintage fabric and clothes patterns and my sister's getting some of the furniture delivered to her warehouse (a renovated one where she lives, she's not in storage). I went there on saturday. it's cool lots of light and space but still quite cosy. I'm soo tired I still have to do something that shoul'dve really been done months ago but will I do it D:

.......... Because... it has a wingspan like a desk's flap device?

Nu uh.

..... Um. Because at one point or another they both enjoy/enjoyed being in the woods?

No!

Why!?

Becaaaaaaaauuuuuuse. Both can produce a few notes though they are very flat.

Yes, I love it!

The snow is thick and I don't want it to go

Snow day! Except that venturing out, whilst being 35 minutes late at 9:15 am and still plowing on to find the gate locked and greeted with eminem-stylee middle finger swearing and snowballs thrown at me (all be it inside a car) was not fun.

My mum and I then ended up spending the day with my granny which was alright. She gave me some good tips on life-drawing and we had a mini class by drawing one of her sculptures (she has lots of little naked people around the house lol)

Epic plans to migrate to richmond and tobbogan and build things were defeated once I got inside and warm, so I've just been looking at the views and feeling like an alien because this isn't London. I do feel sorry for homeless people though.

People in brook green built a real life massive IGLOO! It was so beautiful, I wonder if it's still there. I want to take night pictures with candles but I'm too tired. Even though I've nevr seen snowmen as big as I did today, life size!, I must say I was slightly disapointed with the lack of snow women and snow animals and snow paraphanlia. C'mon people!

As of now, I'm extremely exhausted, why am I forced to wake so early. I'll never forgive them. Hopefully Narnia will survive a little bit longer and I can sleep a bit more tomorrow. Clearly I'm a bear.

I think being called a 'perfectionist' is hugely judgemental. Telling somebody that they want to be perfect is a pretty assumptous thing, no matter how nicely they put it. Most 'perfection' either comes from having a sense of pride or struggling to do something as you normally would and not wanting to be judged on something that isn't really what you know you can do. Yes I like my work to be good but it's not about being perfect. If I'm making something why on earth would I want to do it crappily. What's the point if you don't like it yourself?

It wasn't a big deal particulary but it's very annoying. Anyway, hopefully that's the end of that now I don't like holding onto frustration.

I had a crazy dream involving an argument with two ladies who I accussed of looking like 'hemp witches' and later on was a synchronised dolphin show with a celebratory procession of Rnb royalty such as P/Diddy, Will-i-am and so on. Really surreal and funny but I can see where the thoughts came from and then got warped. I think some dream analysis is true but I don't understand where it fits in when you know exactly where the scenarios stemmed from in your conscious.

eg, the mass of dancing dolphins came from talking about crows and how groups are called a murder of crows. I dunno why dolphins but that's where it came from!

I really need the weekened to come and I don't have to ride my bike for a couple of days. I have a film exam on Monday which I haven't revised for one iota but I tend to absorb information easier if I cram it in densely. I hope.

"beeeep!"

Trying to finish English work that seriously should've been started HOURS ago :-( why do I only get to work when I know I'm gonna be exhausted. Pah, it's not like I don't know.

I love that wikipedia formally uses the Fugees as an example of consonace hehee :)

'Another example of consonance is the word 'sibilance' itself. However, not to be confused with assonance. Further examples can be found in modern Hip-hop music, for example in the song Zealots by the popular group the Fugees: 'Rap rejects my tape deck, ejects projectile/Whether jew or gentile I rank top percentile.'

I never ever do survey thingamajigs. purely for my own enjoyment hehe I liked that one. I might be really lazy and devote my sporadic random posts to each thing each letter brought up. in fact , when the mood takes me I think I will. It'll be nostalgic I suppose....

I don't know if lj cut works on this computer. It's this weird magnum ice cream type of dell thing that has a sticky finger mouse pad thing. But pretty cool all the same. I decided to cave into the adverts and have my rightful 15 userpics oh the possibilties. It is strange having that publish thing come up everywhere but beggars cannot be choosers.
I'm going to pour myself a cup of a tea. I rarely drink english (but it's not english!) tea. seriously- maybe three to five times a year but I love herbal and fruit teas. I feel in the mood for some earl gray except that we have none. So english breakfast it'll be.
Recent food discoveries are Lingham's Chilli Sauce (which I discovered at giraffe) and cartoon chef U-Dong noodles (which i discovered at tesco lol)- not together per say but these are undeniably delicious edibles that I thouraghly reccomend!

this makes me happy (by someone called 'ryan cashman')

the music is so cute and fit's the ghoul so well!
slightly cheesy at the end but I don't know how else the little ghoul would leave. And I'm also amused at the fact that I there's an evisu symbol at the end, I don't know if I should be appaled at that because clearly my brain is being manhandled by brands and their enforcement.

I'm really not that fussy about brands, (obviously) the only things I care about is quality really (says I and my whilst being kept warm by a primark cardigan) but quality for important stuff like jeans- I hate cheap jeans but I mostly get around that by buying things in sale or getting weird shaped levis that I end up cutting in charity shops.
I still refuse to pay £30.00 for a pair of converse- outrageous! so ebay is my 'friend' on that one. yeah you got my back bruva.

I recently cut down my boots and rolled and sewed down the top- it was really fun and now I have sweet pixie-ish biker boots, I hope hell's angels won't laugh at me. That's not even funny! Hell's angels are disgggguuuusssting ¬___¬

I can't belive I'm up at 8:26 but I suppose I'm doomed forever to be an early bird, this was forced upon me by my school's dreadful idea of when to start your day.

anyway i'm just rambling on here as I much prefer to do but when will it STOP?! so I must leave now in case I start writing about what I had for breakfast and how the grapefruit was hard from being in the fridge.

oh deer

god... estate designers really didn't know what the hell they were doing when they built these houses... I really can't stand living here sometimes... i.e. most of the time.

The family down the end were just having a massive argument just when I was about to step out and then because they were angry some other chaotic exchange just happened when some other people were coming home. so I just sat at the bottom of the stairs waiting for things to settle a bit. i didn't really think that stepping out at that moment would've been a very good idea and I'm not really sure when would be.
There's just no privacy WHAT SO EVER and half the people round here are so frustrated (at least I think so) that there's always some kind of argument going on.
There's always some kind of ripple effect because the area is so BLOODY small. I'm so furious about the 'improvements' that have been done. To coin a phrase, it's WHACK. Several houses only have one exit to the bottom of the stairs where there used to be two , there's the new ridiculous 'security' gates that have basicaly fueled the teenage rebellion of the boy at the end who smokes weed everyday with his friends thus clogging up the only exit. there's alot more wrongage I could barrage on about but what's the point.

I really think whatever building work went on troubled up the vibes and everythings just unsettled, people have been building more in ther houses and I can't help but think it's because their trying to fix or replace something because everythings all messed up.

This is actually a tame version of an estate but it's still not very good... I've got a headache now.

and now I've heard at least 3 different types of alarm racing by, i don't think they're linked to the argument but it doesn't really do much to lift morale does it?

The craziest thing happened to me the other day but I've already gone through the story too much to want to write about it but trust me some people round here are CRAZY.

aww Papa Bamboo's mesmerising form makes it all better!

Other than the kinda steel pans interlude and the monotone bassline I think I actually HATE this song but the video is incredible!! I think Tomatorama would enjoy the visuals extremely but maybe keep the sound down lol

Another weekend- and there's another festival! (the big chill was a bit of a rollercoaster- as in my moods were quite up and down but I ended up enjoying it immensly after all)
I know it's a bit hectic and I wasn't going to go because I really don't want to tire myself out- festivals are TIRING... but I can't help but be curious and want to go along anyway. My sister's harranging me to pack because she's anxious we get there early (mostly because of her friends I think who are there already but now that I think about it I suppose she wants to enjoy as much free time as possible before she has to perform- she's a walkabout character on sunday) so I'm just having a break before I begin that, it's only two days so not very much to pack but I'm tirrreeedd and I want to go to sleep.
As usual I've been going to bed too late and getting up early...
I nearly bought myself a camera today (I haven't had my own one for ages) but money is worrying, it'd be easier if I had a card because then I could just pay for it without the flutter .
I buy clothes all to easily with money though u___u
but I did get some lovely and useful things today, my huge favourite being these wool cable knit handwarmer gloves in bright orange :D. They remind me of Clementine from eternal sunshine {O}.
I'm pretty much hoping I can magically discover a working film camera in my house by tommorow morning but any we have are very much buried and I don't want to take the precious biggun (the SLR) so it may have to be throwaway camera which I haven't used for a while.
There's a big bunch of really old thowaway cameras in a box in the living room that need! developing, it was going to be a monthly thing where we would develop a gem a month but it kind of stopped after we developed one. It had some fun pictures in it of me and my sister and old friends we had when we were younger- I want more pictures to discover!
I am actually really tired but i'm not really allowed to aknowledge that, oh well i'm sure I'll be happy :-)

Tip: if you ever get the chance to row a boat on top of a building- always do it! <333

music dreams

2008-08-18T09:16:06Z

Do some basslines just belong to the world? I made myself wake up because I got a song in my dream so I had to get downstairs and hum it into my player.
because I rarely make songs and can't even play an instrument (yet!) I have to cherish these melodies!
The bassline is a musicians pet I think (the one in my song from this morning!), not unique but it's nice and useful. I think a melody that's very simple can be used by more then one person without it beng 'owned', maybe.. For instance there's several typical punk riffs that can make you know that- yup, that's a punk song, so simple perhaps genre defining riffs can be anyones.
It's funny, it's always some funky imaginary band that's playing the music but more often than not if it came from my brain it's usually my own creation.
well, hungers striking it's strike so i'm gonna go get me some grub.

how on earth can rod stewart be in my head.

2008-08-01T18:34:10Z

I appear to be going to the BIg Chill Festival *___~ <--> o____O Which is a bit random but why not! My mum pushed for tickets on the basis of her radio show and we were meant to set out today but of course we're now going tommorrow.... traffic. I've never been to it before so I want to go even though it seems a bit intimidating which is silly I know. WOMAD on the the other hand was really fantastic! Website: http://womad.org/
Hopefully I'll jot down something or other about it some time.

I cut my big toe pretty badly and it wouldn't stop bleeding for ages, I probably had adrenaline because it wasn't hurting and I was kind of on auto pilot as the plasters failed me. It's better but now it's a bit painful.

There's a show to go to tonight, Atongo Zimba. Sparkles. I want to go because I missed him when he was at womad but I'm also quite tired and I just know it's going to be NOISY camping at night so maybe I should get some rest tonight. I dunnough. I doubt I will do the sensible thing.

^ How cute! ^

Ugh there's alot of stressful and feisty energies going on around my house, everone keeps finding something to shout at to each other. It's mostly because we're all tired I think. I've been staying up very late since the Riverside/Circus project cause I've got into the pattern and mum's been to a difficult funeral. My sister's stressed out because she's had all these wonderful things on her plate that aren't so wonderful when there isn't enough time to do them.

Everything is so full of love that it just feels so upsetting when I argue with them, sisters resolve things quickly but with my mum it's always harder because she's my mother and don't want to hurt her feelings!

I've had a good holiday so far, Not yet been on a bicycle ride but I've taught myself half way how to ride unicycle which is good! I've done quite a hefty amount of shopping which i don't know if I should feel guilty about so I probably should decide not too!

There's alot of things I want to get stuck into... It's really nice letting the days melt easily into each other but with enough structure not to wonder what's happened ala:

"My Van!!!"

I've been going on Polyvore quite alot it's amusingly fun :-) but I just wish that somehow it was my own wardrobe I was playing around with haha

and randomly coming across junk like this:

This is actually real ---> whaaaattt.... shouldn't it be a pink poodle under there anyway? wrong on all accounts!

Wonderful weekend!! :-)

Music and sunshine. Too tired right now but I may return to this subject ^______^

Magic, Magic, T !

2008-05-29T23:33:44Z

That's T for transport :-) Lately I seem to have magical powers when it comes to making the green man appear the minute I reach the edge of the pavement but today pratically defies belief, every single single time I went to cross a road or wait for the bus, the lights changed or it appeared- even the train came when it was meant to :-D I mean, my foot touched one pavement and I didn't even need to cross the road.

And to top it all off, I got a free ride on the train because the barriers were open at hammersmith and half of the travel gate at west kensignton was open as well.

Magic T or Magic Me, either way it should continue!

I've been thinking quite seriously about getting two tattoos, one for each knee. It's pretty bold to even think about (for me personaly) but I've been constantly imagining them. Maybe it's because I actually wouldn't mind being a tattooist (even if it's just a daydream) but I realise you wouldn't be trusted with out any ink of your own... but getting a tattoo.... I don't know but I am tempted!

At Africa day (such a good event. I shared my umbrella with a stranger, watched a Griot, heard Soul Makossa live!, danced, ment Shingai breifly, ate spicy bean stew...) there was a woman with a Devendra Banhart inspiration star behind her ear and it looked really lovely.

This is what has probaby got the cogs seriously turning:

Oh dear I really have to get some rest before my break ends, I seem to think that because I haven't got school suddenly my body has the power to survive without sleep.
