I ran adrift on a boat made of sand...

But only today. And only because I've had about an entire cafetiere of the black and strong stuff.

I activated my credit card, fixed my phone contract for the next two years so I don't get anymore evil surprises (like my last bill), did a washing, put a mattress cover on the bed, programmed my alarm clock, spoke to my Gran.....

I've also managed to finally make use of my second room. It no longer looks like empty space now the furniture is rearranged. I turned the zedbed on it's side and wrapped it in the mattress, so hopefully once I've got some cushions for it it will look vaguely like a mis-shapen couch; for to watch movies on.

Very exciting.

I also booked a haircut. And I'm picking up my Lovebox tickets. Can't wait to see the Flaming Lips.


This is a boring post. But I am proud of myself.

Haven't posted anything in a while. I've been moving house and such. The new place is lovely. Still in Brockley as well but now closer to the station.

Oh, and it's huge!


I figured people on here would want to know about this. http://www.bookrabbit.com/ are doing a pretty snazzy offer where if you upload a picture of your bookshelf and tag at least five books, it will send you a free one based on what you read.

Basically it's kinda like facebook, except you "tag" books instead of drunk people.

Here was my bookshelf http://www.bookrabbit.com/userbookshelf/view/bookshelfid/1714
and they sent me a copy of "The Impressionist" by Hari Kunzru five days later. Pretty swell since I've meant to read it for ages.

FREE STUFF!
WHOOO!

Let me know what you got if you decide to do it.

Much love!



(oh! And it's my birthday tomorrow!)

Jesus I can't believe it's been 5 weeks.
I just finished my book. It scared me in a very real way, with a nightmare without a distinct beginning and slowly deteriorated into panic, decay and claustrophobia.
.....................
Today I had to watch two people argue, and nothing has set my teeth so sharp on edge for as long as I care to remember. Watching morons flesh out on a subject which is simply pointless and knowing you cannot intervene brings out some kind of rage in me which left me wanting to smash glass between my eyeballs for hours.
.....................
Yesterday, as I took a late bus home around 6am (there were no trains), I saw something which stole my attention. A woman wandered onto the bus midway through the journey and immediately and without hesitation, surprise or greeting began to speak to the man sitting opposite me (who had boarded at the same time as me) in a language I didn't understand. She sat next to him, and lay her head on his shoulder for 5 or 6 stops, until he suddenly stood up, and stepped off, onto the street. Neither of the two said goodbye.

I think I have essay and deadline induced synesthesia.

The text of webcomics and humour blogs are tasting like the sweet sweet cakes I'm not allowed to eat.

But whenever I see the icon for Microsoft Word. I'm smelling urine and bleach in a microwave, hearing a sound which can only be described as a screech Paris Hilton might emit, awaking from a blow to the head to find herself locked in Primark, and feeling the unearthly caresses of my own corpse.

The second i have an actual task to do, I faff about on livejournal really amaze myself.

Today I must have changed clothes at least 4.5 times, and I've only been to Greenwich market today, itself a procrastination.

And I bought a cd.
So obviously, I have to spend 5 hours ripping my backlog of cds to the computer.

And I've spent at least 10 hours in the last three days cataloguing my MP3s so they can have album art!
WHY IN HELL MIGHT THEY EVER NEED ALBUM ART!

Ebay is the worst. You can waste time and spend money at the same time. I've got about £150 minimum worth of stuff in my watch list. Does anyone want to donate to Jason's pretty clothes fund?
I need winter layers. : )

Shitstorm ahead, but then what have I ever really had to offer other than a bag full of crazy to scare the hell out of you.

I want to paint my walls purple, only to repaint it another colour that isnt fuckfacestupidassholeish.

URGJHDG<KVB GUlkufxhvkuhn I do nothing with my time and I hate the doctor I have to see tomorrow and I always let myself down and the best I can do is walk around nowhere at 4 in the morning waiting to get attacked or something and I cant even smoke or even drink and Im going slowly insane I see these places in books and in my head and none of them look like what I even aspire to possess for myself and what i live in now is shit with empty containers strewn across the floor and in dundee I had a beautiful home but I gave it all up for the big city but fashion is a system run by buttsucking twatfearing dickfucks, arthistory is confusing. sdgrtfchnk sukmhfsd I need a note to say I'm crazy, but I'm probably just dis-satisfied. The osteopath comforts me when he curls me up into the fetal position and wraps his arm around me, but then he squeezes really hard. My back doesnt crack but it fucking hurts as my elbow digs into my arm. I bruised my funnybone. Fetal position is like a pathetic self-inflicted hug. Everyone should see my osteopath.

Well, it looks like Tuesday is either going going to be the end of my world or the greatest day of my life in a long while. in fact it would actually be the first time I've completed an entire years course of education since I was 16.

Either way, whether it's to celebrate or to cure my utter depression, I'm going to buy myself a fuckload of expensive pretty, because it's also the day my student loan comes through! I've already spent 50 of it on ticket fines and insurance this week and I haven't even got it yet. Add to that PJ Harvey tickets and flights to wherever the hell I'm going this summer. Travel I shall.


In other news. I lost my phone today. The replacement should arrive on Tuesday but I'll be uncontactable until then unless you use the internet or my landline.

If you can figure out what my landline number is, good for you. Tell me what it is because I don't know.

I gave her a smile because she looked like she might have been crying. She had a Canada badge on and I think she had only just got into the city.

Last night on the bus home I had another flashback which really disturbed me. I can't go into it but it shocked me how this one came entirely from out of the blue, and had no relation to what I was thinking or anything that had occurred before in that night. I very suddenly thought of someone and then immediately recalled an experience involving them which, despite being very recent, had been tied up under my memory. I'm worried about what else I'm not remembering. I like being happy.

Also my dreams and daydreams are having the recurring theme of a man in a suit with no face, paying attention only to me when I had before assumed I was anonymous. Upon noticing him I feel an ice shiver up my shoulders and usually bolt back into a sharp conciousness.

I used to always laugh at the dreams Freud interpreted, because they were also so ridiculously, visually symbolic (eg. "I have a recurring dream wherein a snake eats a sword and becomes a bigger sword! I then eat the sword.") when from my personal experience, most dreams are narrative. It's a long time since I've had a recurring figure in my dreams... apart from vampires.
(must analyse this. But I know if I do then I'm just going to stimulate myself to dream him more often)

I'm feeling so incredibly energetic. Right now all I want to do is chill out on tower bridge, but everyone is in bed. I miss the days when none of us had responsibilities. Gone are the times I could count on everyone to be awake at 4am.

Tomorrow I have uni, lectures, rarara but the only thing really on my mind is a gin, and searching for a tobacconist that sells gitanes. Today I shall not wash.

I've given my notice and I finish work on the 20th. It was exhausting me. However now I'm going to get smacked in the face with poverty, and I've become accustomed to certain luxuries. It could be good for me. More likely it will just be tiresome on a whole separate level. Existence is suffering but The Buddha never met Paris Hilton.

I'm wondering how the Dalai Lama's doing. I wonder if he'd recognise me as I am today.

I have so many things. I long for shelves.

Charlie made me this mix years ago now. I wish he lived closer; wish he didn't live in the suburbs.
Wonder if I ever will. (sentence fragment)

Grace is in Dundee.

Kirsty is going to Mexico. I should be doing something like that. Or at least leaving the house.

Coffee it is then!
Where will I go?

Do I ever go anywhere else?
