i want kissing
the tree is optional.
lucinda’s parents came and met us outside college today to say bye before they headed to the airport.
best friend with a free house for the week, nice.
I WANNA MAKE YOU KNOW
I CAN DO EVERYTHING
BUT I DON’T EVER SHOW YOU
HOW I REALLY AM
I WISH I COULD SAY
I HAVE NO REGRETS TODAY,
I WANTED TOO MUCH FROM YOU.
I DON’T WANNA BE THIS WAY
I KICK MYSELF I WISH I COULD SAY
I HAVE NO REGRETS TODAY
BUT I’M SO NERVOUS THAT I LOSE MY COOL
EVERYTIME I PICK UP THE PHONE
AND TRY TO CALL YOU
STANDING OUT IN THE FREEZING COLD
UNTIL I’M NUMB WONDERING WHY
I’M ALWAYS ACTING SO DUMB
I DON’T WANNA BE THIS WAY
I KICK MYSELF, I WISH I COULD SAY
THAT I HAVE NO REGRETS TODAY
THINGS JUST HAPPENED
TO TURN OUT THIS WAY
I CAN’T SAY THAT I HAVE
NO REGRETS TODAY.
say anything is one of my top five songs ever, i can’t wait to see the bouncing souls.
awesome day. finding out leftöver crack are playing leeds, so i don’t have to bother going to rebellion, unless i’m feeling rich, bouncing souls playing, doing my last ecdl exam ever and tidying my bedroom to a good standard.
guess who found £35.50, seven quid for river island and a tenner for marks and spencer? oh yeahh, me. eight minutes to midnight too, when i get paid. happiest mood ever.
me and my momma don’t get paid until tuesday, but my dad got paid last week so we’ve been out spending his money.
i love new stuff. i don’t enjoy traipsing to every clarks in the surrounding towns to look at school shoes with my sister, but y’know, i’ve been places and done stuff this weekend without spending a penny of my own money since midday on thursday. mostly because i don’t have any, but that’s not the point.
i got a new purse today, a hideous shiny big one to replace my battered cardbook and a purse that my money always ends up falling out of. we’ll see how long i use it for before it starts to annoy me and i resume using my old things, again. i like my silver purse, even though it’s annoying. my dad bought it me and he nearly never gets me things because he really doesn’t know what i like. actually, he brought me home some horrible looking irish sweets on friday but i can’t eat them because they have gelatine in. well done.
i wish i lived in london or wolverhampton, next month i could be seeing these.
okay, so they might have some lyrics that are a bit ‘naah’, but god are they finely crafted and sung in such a beautiful way. anyway, some of the lyrics actually make perfect sense. ilu bayside.
it’s not too cool, to be throwing up all morning sick, from what you might have done, or done it with
films are harder to rank than books, i’m sort of changing my mind just looking at the list, but i’m going to leave it in the order i decided on last night.
1. billy elliot. no doubt about it, i adore this film.
2. crossroads. the first dvd i ever owned, it has nice songs in it, the people are pretty and it’s sweet.
3. toy story. lovelovelove, the video used to live in the player.
4. jarhead. i like jake gyllenhaal as an actor.
5. brokeback mountain. i really do like jake gyllenhall, he picks interesting films to be in, like this one that also has one of the nice women from dawson’s creek in.
6. interview with the vampire. it’s not a good adaptation of the book at all, but it’s a good film, antonio banderas, brad pitt, tom cruise and a young kirsten dunst, it’s lovely.
7. the notebook. if you’ve seen it you’ll understand.
8. snakes on a plane. this and black snake moan are easily two of samuel jackson’s greatest films, it’s funny.
9. grease. never fails to put a D shaped grin on my face.
10. lola rennt. i’m least sure about this being on the list at all, this could have been any of the others that didn’t make the top ten, depending on my mood, but it’s unusual and me and lucinda used to enjoy it.
i have such a superfical taste in films. these are the ones that were considered for spot number ten: eagle vs shark, free willy, queen of the damned, beauty and the beast, party monster, high school musical, pay it forward, fight club, titanic, a guide to recognizing your saints, eternal snshine of the spotless mind, little miss sunshine, a.i., much ado about nothing<3
it’s like a book elegantly bound but in a language you can’t read, just yet.
Published April 25, 2009 approve Leave a Commentlast night i wasn’t tired so i sat up and spent a considerable amount of time constructing top ten lists.
this is how books fared:
1. white apples by jonathan carroll. it’s the most perfect book ever, i don’t like reading it a lot because i don’t want to waste it, if that makes sense, and i don’t want to read the sequel in case it ruins it somehow.
2. rebecca by daphne du maurier. by all accounts daphne was a bit of a horrible woman according to her biography but her books are still beautiful.
3. absolutely normal chaos by sharon creech. it’s ‘too young’ for me now i guess but it’s always been a favourite. i like the intertextuality of how she puts some of these characters into her other books that are nothing to do with this one.
4. j-pod by douglas coupland. vancouver please, nice book.
5. noughts & crosses by malorie blackman. all of that series are good, bu sad at the same time and really thought-provoking too.
6. boy meets boy by david levithan. ‘always’ by erasure is mentioned, i looked it up and i love it and i have this book to thank and besides, it’s well cute.
7. interview with the vampire by anne rice. not that i’ve read many but this is easily the best vampire book i’ve ever read.
8. a clockwork orange by anthony burgess. as if my two copies of this have both been borrowed and destroyed, i like it because it makes me think.
9. memoirs of a geisha by arthur golden. i was stupid enough to think it was real at first, but even though it’s not it’s still great.
10. prince caspian by c.s lewis. okay, you need to read the others to properly get this, but it’s still the best narnia book.
these babes made the shortlist; running with scissors, i capture the castle, to kill a mockingbird, life of pi, catch-22, suvivor, the lost art of keeping secrets, the vampire armand (and much of the vampire chronicles in general), the catcher in the rye, the twits, sophie’s world, this book will save your life.
who says there has to be a beach to wear a bathing suit?
blahblahblah.
but england has nothing more to offer me
so goodbye, yeah, i wish you well but i can no longer thrive in england, for i think that it is hell.
i’m a) wishing larrikin love hadn’t broken up and b) agreeing with them.
on the news before they were asking people why they love england and no-one came up with anything very convincing
i want to live in vancouver please, like right now.
for both living standards and it’s economy it’s always ranked in the top three cities in the world and it’s often first.
london ranks around fourteenth.
sorry saint george, but by all accounts you were bulgarian anyway.
hello saint george, patron saint of scouts who never even came to england.
the jew’s being rubbish, so we’re not going out for drinks to honour you anymore, so here’s a nice poem about you.
St. George was out walking
He met a dragon on a hill,
It was wise and wonderful
Too glorious to kill .
It slept amongst the wild thyme
Where the oxlips and violets grow
Its skin was a luminous fire
That made the English landscape glow .
Its tears were England’s crystal rivers
Its breath the mist on England’s moors
Its larder was England’s orchards,
Its house was without doors
St. George was in awe of it
It was a thing apart
He hid the sleeping dragon
Inside every English heart.
So on this day let’s celebrate
England’s valleys full of light,
The green fire of the landscape
Lakes shivering with delight.
Let’s celebrate St George’s Day,
The dragon in repose;
The brilliant lark ascending,
The yew, the oak, the rose.

as of today i have purple glasses.
song of the day: colourblind by darius.
weird. i was watching little miss sunshine before and that has a colourblind bit in it too.
