"watching the people get lairy, it's not very pretty i tell thee" // 28 April 2005 ah diaryland, how i have missed you. what's that? what do you mean, "why didn't you call or write??" don't take that indignant tone with me! well... but... yes, i know, i had no excuse, i abandoned you heartlessly for pen & paper and i soon fell out of love with them too. but now i'm back, all ready to fall back into your welcoming bosom. look, i even got some new threads for you. you like? well, what have i been up to? it's been about 9 months since i was last here. so i'm about 2 weeks away from finishing my second year at uni (and i'm currently experiencing a 2nd year drag at the moment, so the end of the semester couldn't come sooner. in fact, my motivation is so lacking, the only thing that keeps me going into lectures is the warning letter i got about my attendance and my promise to myself that i would reward myself with an iPod mini for good attendance). i've accumulated a LOT of stuff since then. firstly, a new car for my 21st birthday. a new eMac (because my iBook died on me...2 weeks after the warranty ran out! i'm still bitter about it. especially because i had thought the problem was the logic board, in which case apple run a repair programme. in any case, after half an hour with one of the Geniuses at the apple store, he diagnosed the problem as a faulty connection between the screen and the computer. what also annoyed me was that for a month, the screen had died on me, just blank. the minute the Genius powers up the machine, it's working. i was tripping over myself to convince him that it was much much worse before he touched it.) the complete buffy boxset. a thing of true beauty (and a bargain) i spent about 3 months watching buffy more or less constantly and truly, it was paradise. too many clothes that i have no occasion to wear or that i overwear (and end up building my whole wardrobe around). i've gained some new friends (some unexpected) and also a pub quiz team. (we've yet to win yet and i'm severely disappointed. these kind of competative events always bring out an ugly side in me.) i can't really think of anything i've lost, so i guess in the whole balance, things are pretty good. well actually, now that i think about it, if i've gained more than i've lost, it follows that i've got more to lose. now there's a thought that's going to fester. hmm. pop picks "krafty", new order; "signs" snoop dogg feat. justin timberlake & charlie wilson; "1 thing" amarie; "other side of the world" KT tunstall; "somewhere else" razorlight; "no sleep tonight" the faders (my new guilty pleasure, seeing as busted are no more...the teartracks of grief are still there); "i predict a riot" kaiser chiefs; "algebra" a camp; "lost without each other" hanson (they're back, hurrah!)
