This weekend i will mostly be going to the boro match, seeing my nephew and having a few beverages, hopefully in the sun.
Memememememememe!
Why early morning tomorrow?
FUCK
going to the airport!
the flight arrives at 10.45, and i have to post some cds so i need to set off before 10, which means getting up arounf 9. EARLY.
Not me
work have now banned us from taking laptops in if we're on cloakroom damnit. I may actually get some work done now though. Weekend=work, shopping, revision NOO!
But you have the luck of being at Venue all night.
The music there on Fridays is BRILLIANT.
ME!
I'm avoiding writing an essay for Monday. It is going to take up my entire weekend. 356 words down, 2144 to go :/
Peep Show is on later. Ace.
i'm watching csi again
what's your essay on?
would privatising the nhs solve all its problems
booooooooring
(the answer is no!)
of course.
ALTHOUGH, i can tell you german dentists > english dentists. but they're trying to charge me twice for the admin fee, it's only 10 € but i didn't get a receipt when i paid it first time round. arghhh.
at least you have a dentist
i don't!
it was an emergency, a filling fell out and i was in terrible pain. i nearly needed a root canal. i did mean to add that germany has private healthcare, but i'm sure you knew that anyway.
good luck with the essay btw.
haha no
shows how much reading i've done so far
^ you
i was busy rolling through my last.fm neighbours and there you are. and now here you are!
the internet is a tiny world
Do you think it will be free on iTunes again?
I'm going to a gig soon.
Probably.
I got Heroes S2 to keep me company this eve. But like you, I got an early morning.
7 am. And this time I don't have klaire in my bed.
haha
you crazy kids!
it was so crazy
i wasn'teven in the bed. i was fucking watching tv elsewhere. how random isthat?
a girl in your bed and you were watching tv?
what was on?
Yeah.
I'm not the sort that sleeps with girl - 'friends'. Its not done. I wouldn't sleep with my male friends. Unless I had to.
And Heroes series 2 was on.
it was in jest :)
i share a bed with friends all the time. it happens a lot when i have people to stay/go back to leeds. fiiine. i have 2 friends coming at the end of this month though and have no idea where to put them...
Yeah I spose its different if you go out.
I've bedded with my brother and my friends after I've been on't piss like.
But KLAAAIRE is apparently too POSH for alcohol.
watch Lost series 3 instead.
Heroes 2 is woeful :'(
I'm on episode 7 right now and I'm fucking astonished at
how unawful it is!
you did mean to write
un-, right?
:(
Subjectivity and stuff but some things will never make sense to me.
I love it so much.
SPOILERPSOKERPLOLERSPOILER*****************
We've just found out 'Adam' is Kensei and Claire's boyfriend just realised her dad is Bennet.
Its almost as good as the first.
Heroes will never be the same without Isaac. He was the best one. He was really cool (into drugs) and his power was the main storyline.
yeah, but it's really really boring.
and Lost has about 1000000 things more to it.
i could have gone to an 18th birthday party tonight
but i didn't because i'm tired and i really need to start revision and also parties of people i vaguely know from school are usually a bit shit (due to a number of factors including boring people, crap music and being unable to buy alcohol). so i tried to do revision but accidentally fell asleep for a while, and now my neck hurts and i'm drinking coffee to wake myself up and i'm going to make another attempt at revision, but that will probably fail and i'll end up on here for the rest of the night. hooray!
procrastination HIGH FIVE
okay, deal...
every time i see you i'll tell you to revise, every time you see me, tell me to clean my room? i can't go to sleep until it's done!
I are procrastinating too :(
high five.
I stayed in to do revision.
Hours of revision so far: 0
so far i'm on 1 hour!
which is REALLY impressive for me!
but now i'm back on the computer which doesn't bode well :(
you've done much better than I did
Since posting that I've got nostalgic about holidays, posting way too much on DiS and tried to make a really amazing drink by mixing lemon and lime juices with water. It was rubbish.
Productive evening.
an hour is actually probably an exaggeration
seeing as a good proportion of that was spent drifting off into irrelevant daydreams, doodling and getting distracted by the music i was listening to.
but still! i highlighted some notes! that's an achievement, right?
Yeah.
Which colour highlighter matters a lot though. Mint green ftw.
luminous pink
sucks. it was the only one i could find. i agree, green is better.
i also just did a really great spider diagram, which doesn't contain any useful information whatsoever but looks pretty!
...i'm going to fail :(
Going to the zoo?
Lucky you!
I will be here sporadically until about 12:30 when I will join in the fun times.
I've revision to do and want to read a ~60 page document before I goto bed or procrastinate.
God I hate revision on Friday nights, this weekend is going to be hell - I've to learn an entire course in two days for an exam on Monday!!! eek!
i've been to a zoo
twice in the last fortnight.
more photos from this trip, so i might post some about the polar bear!
revision suxxxxx. so much, but i don't have any of that 'till next year. at you in your final year now?
good luck for monday.
are you in munich or berlin?
I forget.
But go to Hamm! It's like a German York and my favourite place in the world.
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=hamm+germany <3 <3
munich.
funny you should say that, i have a good friend in hamm. she hates it! she like flies back to england nearly every weekend, so there's no chance of me being able to visit. munich is pretty awesome though, despite my pathetic homesickness i'm gonna miss it.
:'(
I suppose it might get a little bit boring if you lived there. Although I still really really wish I grew up there instead of Leeds.
It was easily my favourite part of Germany when I went around for world cup 06
you went round germany?
jealous. i've been to a few places, but not enough.
actually we had a lecture about the world cup. some guy from the bbc came in and showed us footage from when they went round germany. for an hour. that was on our syllabus. my course is so easy sometimes.
yeah!
it was amazing. really really amazing.
was born in Hamm so stayed with old family people there, then Liepzig, Berlin, Munich...
The atmosphere was incredible, as was the weather, the football less so [following ukraine] but did get to see a 4-0 victory and loss.
aaaaah I want to go back. come back to leeds and I'll trade places with you?
deal!
i miss leeds so much. (u)
come to my clubnight next year if i start it up?
will do!
hopefully it won't clash with mine that I'm starting up :D
ohhhhhh
where/who with/what music?
I don't know!
the first one was going to be in august but it looks like that'll be the friday of a weekender i'm helping with. So possibly the first in september.
I was going to do an indie pop-night thing with bands, but it wouldn't be as good as Let's Be Friends or the other really good nights so WHY BOTHER?
I'd want to play NZ indie-pop like The Clean but no one would like that.
What about yours?
did you know don't the kids just love it?!
has finished now. apparently the library are not nice to work with.
LBF is ace!
ummm, just an indie night that doesn't play the same shit every week, so like
post punk
new wave
lo fi
garage rock
indie pop
hardcore
and a bit of hip hop :)
there's me and possibly 4 others. the other have more friends, like.
did you go to the last LBF? my friends band played. i didn't know he could play anything until i saw the photos on facebook! out of touch.
I did go to the last LBF!
It was a really really nice evening. Which are your friends that played? I might know them too :D
That does sound good :D A night with Times New Viking and Minutemen would be amazing. Unless I've completely misunderstood and namechecked the wrong bands :(
I never actually went to Dont The Kids Just Love It? but it sounded lovely. Although you've raised worries as I've got a booking for the library :/ and that's where I was thinking of in the future. Where are you thinking of? I'd quite like to do something at The Common Place, but it seems really complicated with membership and stuff :(
andy moore.
their band were probably in first. i forget what they're called!
i spoke to malcolm of LBF fame and am trying to get them to have one in june when i'm back, but i doubt they will. it's usually the first friday of the month if it's on, isn't it?
hehe, yeah that kinda stuff, but maybe a little more mainstream for some things. 'cause although there is a larger alt music scene in leeds, i have found people are style over substance!
ah well, apparently it's the bouncers at the library. have you heard of cursive? my best friend djs there so we went last month to the opening night and the bouncer was very mean to me, she even checked my pupils at one point!!
and i only went to one DTKJLI, which was darren hayman in november, it was good fun but we didn't stay long. are you gonna be at any gigs in june? i'm flying back to see why?, stephen malkmus (manchester) and darren hayman doing hefner songs. yayyyy!!
I'm going to Why? and Darren Hefman!
Yay!
Lines of Flight! I think I've spoken to Andy before briefly, is he the one that does the magic lantern cinema and works at hyde park? they were really good! :D , I know sophie in that band a bit better.
I'm in the LBF facebook friend and got this message -
"One suggestion was for a date in september to attract legions of nervous eager-to-please first year students that we could then mold into our own image. Lots of people were requesting another date in the summer, which would be great, but which I will be unable to be involved in as I'll be in the orient. Either way, we hope to see you again soon!"
Hopefully it'll be on while you're over!
Hmm, that does sound a bit shit with the library. I've only been a couple of times before - I usually can't be bothered with it because I'm only 17 and scared of IDing. I'm hoping they don't find out I'm only 17 when it comes to hiring the room...
yayy
say hello, or add me on facebook so i know what you look like!!
yes, yes he is! and mmmm about LBF, i got angry when i went in feb because i kept asking for hefner and only after kerry asked the 342804835043 time did he play hello kitten! lame lame. but i'm not being mean and holding a grudge. ha.
yeah they seem to id a lot. i always get id-ed anyway. if you're booking it you should be okay though!
Haymen.
Not Hefman.
But I suppose he is a Hef-man
i wanna be a hef-girl
i want to live in a hefner song!
hehe zoos totally rock
i think i'll take a trip to Edinburgh zoo when my exams are finished and check out all the sexy mammals!
revisions is horrid but it's got to be done :( i have an exam on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday so now until next Friday night is going to be PAINFUL!!! :'(
Final year yes, two weeks today and i will be a free man.
FREE!!

I am here!
Is it a bank holiday on monday?
I am moving slate! And collecting my amplifier. Fun filled.
yeah, it is!
bank holidays galore this month.
omg to top tuesday night, i just cried at csi. what is wrong with me? i keep crying at e v e r y t h i n g.
Umm.
What is this bank holiday? I'm working so I have no idea. I also have no idea why you'd cry at CSI as it is the same format every week.
pfingsten.
no idea what it's all about. should look it up.
and one of my favourite characters left. it was emotional!
Which character left?
Was it like the bill the other day when that one got blown up?
alex
the autopsy woman (this is csi:miami), she was pretty bloody awesome, but her son got involved in a murder (he didn't do it and wasn't charged) so she decided to spend more time with her family.
:'(
Yes.I have to say I never liked her.
She always seemed to get too emotionally involved in her cases.
she had such a big heart though!
i thought she was amazing. i want to marry ryan though, so i can be lauren wolfe.
I wish I was ginger like Horatio.
He turns up to a crime scene in between panning shots of girls on beaches and then makes a quip. Then goes on later in the episode to tell the girl that he will catch her daddies killers and then he does.
<3 horatio
those one liners, that side stance, the way he says something abrupt and walks off, the way he puts on his glasses when things get serious, the way he totally kicked ass in brazil when he got extradited. siiighhhh. he is so freakin' cool.
I love that.
I don't always carry my shades, so when things get serious, I just try to adjust the position of my glasses on my nose.
that's just as cool though.
i have no glasses. or ginger hair, or general swagger.
i wonder if he ever gets hot in those suits?
I can imagine he does.
I've been hot these past few days and it's only been approximately 74% as hot as miami.
I do go ginger in the sun. But i always feel like such a fake.
<3
I have to point out I don't wear fashionable suits at work
and only have jeans and a tshirt.
So he must be worse.
it's whitsun
but i don't know exactly what that is.
pentecost
apparently
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost
Ahh thanks.
It was a bank holiday last weekend too. I'd rather they were a bit more spread out.
we don't have this bank holiday
only those crazy religious germans.
Ahhh.
Like I say, due to the fact that my job doesn't cover bank holidays I never know when they are.
i'm in, but hopefully i won't be on here all night
Jonathan Creek + Newsnight Review = WIN
is J. Creek on telly
or is this personal dvds/internet download?
i'm working my way through the boxset
<3
I WANT.
