man I wish I knew people here who enjoyed going to clubs and dancing instead of the pub all the time
train journeys are fun!
i'll be at school. EVEN MORE JOY.
HAHAHAH EDINBURGH AHAHAHAH
I go back on monday
YEAH YEAH YEAH
working
or shirking, really.
going for an indian
at the magic barn :D
..
focus grouping
looking at a new house
gig, with nandos afterwards.
Could be a good day.
deciding what to do with my life
and a band practice
:D
meeting
a nice girl for lunch then off up to London to see my mates band and not making eye contact with my ex.
where are you going?
I've got a Welsh class at 9 :( And then two more lectures later on in the day, and then I need to unpack my stuff from easter break and then go to the park!
Home to Thurso.
It's the end if the train line.
Got to get up at about 5:45 to catch my train :(
Don't go to bed!
Sleep on train.
Revision to do sir.
REVISION!
Last week the student opposite me whipped out his complete book of medical history
I played tetris on my ipod.
god
how i wish i had tetris on my ipod.
If I had any more I would gift it :)
It's addictive. I used to play it so much that when I closed my eyes I kept visualising tetris moves and such :o
Also, iLiKETRAiNS.
any money*
Playing lead guitar for a friend
I've never heard any of the material and the gig is in a fortnight.
I haven't played infront of an audience for a few years either..
This could go tits up.
I'm going to phone the HMV helpline
because they decided not to include LP along with the rest of my Holy Fuck order, and didn't charge me for it until 5 days later when there was no money left in the account. Now they're telling me my account is faulty and I have to phone THEM. Idiots.
I might be getting my work cheque tomorrow so I'll go to Zavvi/His Master's Voice and search for Timesbold albums and smash stuff when I find nothing.
Last Thursday I was on a train! oOoooo
brushing my teeth
^5 for dental hygiene!
finishing an essay
about the Third Reich aesthetic. fuck yeah. i've just written two paragraphs about Brian Ferry.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/bryan-ferrys-nazi-gaffe-444776.html
I'm scraping the barrel.
Might meet up with some mates for drinks and to watch the football
Might sleep until the sun goes down. Haven't decided yet.
Will...
Go to the dentist...
Go and see Wild Beasts
Possibly do a little dance if Everton beat Chelsea.
sleeping
then going to some lit event my friend is doing. then probably getting trashed by a roof top swimming pool overlooking the City, feeling all glamorous
would rather be on a train..!
i'll be writing 5'000 words on how the pharmaceutical industry is fucking over developing countries. And a trip to the hospital to pick up my stepdad.
work
post-work appointment
museums.
science/natural history.
a last ditch effort to get more stuff done for my art coursework. exciting times.
ahh art coursework
if i can give you any advice. it would be that paper mache isnt too popular with the board.
Work,
finish coursework on siting a wind farm, then hop on the train to bradford for Los Campesinos!
They'd better be good.
having a SNOWBALL FIGHT
hell yeah :D
wake up really tired
master talking and appearing productive whilst asleep
dream about quitting
quit
