storytelling kites from the moon

...everyone saying Derren Brown is rubbish because he didn't really predict the lottery numbers is MISSING THE POINT SO SO MUCH.  The point is over there and they're aiming waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy over there.  HE'S AN ILLUSIONIST.  And a bloody good one.  He brings me genuine glee and wonder.  He's never claimed to actually be magic.


Though he is.

I JUST HAD MY UNIVERSITY PLACE CONFIRMED

I'm going to Paris on Monday  :D

...I still don't know how to use WiFi on my DS.  Oh well, I'll just get to raising my entire Pokémon team to lv. 50.

1)  BLEACH 364.

2)  PSYCHOVILLE

3) THIS ALBUM


4)  RUSSELL HOWARD ON SATURDAY  :D

5)  HELLO SUMMER.  WELCOME BACK, BRAMWELL.

I'M IN UR LJ, QUOTING PLATO.

I feel like I've been horrible company the past few weeks.  I'm rudderless, and anchorless, and apparently I enjoy nautical metaphors.  But seriously, on the one hand I think it's unfair to just go dumping my shit on people, but on the other I know I shouldn't be so reluctant to ask for help.

Do you know who I identify with?  BRENDA CHENOWITH.  Umm, not that anyone else has seen Six Feet Under.

Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one.
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.
Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

yes I am reading "inspirational quotes"

A couple of days ago I stayed up til 4 in the morning playing Pokémon Platinum.  I really, really wanted to beat Louis and his Heracross.  AND I DID BWAHAHA.

( rambling about my Pokémon )

Anywho, after my spazzing out for the past few days, I've actually completed my part of the student finance application.  It was horrible, but I think I can repress the experience.  Ah, healthy, healthy defence mechanisms.

AND NOW I GET TO GO EAT CHIPS  :D

The Leavers' Ball is on Friday.  And I am sooo not one for getting all dressed up and that, but I think it will be okay.  I've been sat at the same table as Louis, which shows at least someone knows what they're doing.  We all know that I can't socialise without Louis.

I love that stage in a friendship where there is no effort in being together, where you can just talk rubbish for hours.  You know what to expect from eachother and ahh, it's just grand.


I've destroyed my feet.  First by wearing flats for a day that rubbed the back of my heel, making it impossible for me to wear shoes without swearing loudly with every step.  Then I made the mistake of wearing sandals in sweltering heat and have horrific blisters to show for it.  Then I decided going barefoot was the best solution.  It was, but now my feet are very, very dirty.  Oh, Christ.


On the positive side, I am reading Good Omens :D  and in Pokémon Platinum I am in Hearthome City which is a lovely lovely place.

I FINISHED MY EXAMS

AND GOT TO PLAY POKÉMON PLATINUM (which I had vowed not to play until exams were over)
oh, Lucas is teaching me how to catch Pokémon even though I am carrying three Pokémon with me. What a spanner.

KAYLEE: "Wash, tell me I'm pretty."
WASH: "Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion."
KAYLEE: "'Cause I'm pretty?"
WASH: "'Cause you're pretty."

I wish I had a Hoban Washburne :(

This.

If not that, frankly I'm pretty easy to please. I'd like to go to the beach maybe, and take lots of photos, and for it to be sunny, and to eat good food, and to have a good laugh with my friends, and then see the stars clearly because we're away from city pollution, and then watch tv until late. Ooh and read a good book.


Good news: I HAVE FINISHED MY EXAMS. I'm now free from the oppression of further education! ♥ ♥ ♥
I think it's gonna be a good summer.
