it's taking a while to settle properly into university. been finding things pretty hard lately. i'm ill again, got an acute respiratory virus that's made my asthma go 'wah!' and i feel like shit. fainted in boots on thursday which was so fucking embarassing. it'll go away soon, got some antibiotics. been feeling pretty lonely too, it's not that i don't have some lovely friends at uni, i do. especially sooze who i adore because she is teh cool & sexy & ace, but i haven't found anyone i totally click with. it's super cool living in london, i love that i can walk to leicester square and stuff, it'd just be way more fun if i had people who really understood me here. i gues it's just a time thing but i can't help feeling pretty lonely now specially being sick and it's cold and dark and i'm skint. but yeah moan over, just gotta get on with it, cuz the good times are really good. so stuff that's happened lately - i don't think i said, but i've been seeing this guy chris for a while now, things sort've developed after reading. i've known him for a couple of years though since he randomly started talking to me in costa once. his birthday was on the 23rd of october and we had a little gathering at my house to celebrate. saw oceansize on shrooms on the 26th (at the garage <3) which was so ace. then he stayed with me down in london last weekend and i bought him a jumper and took to see HIM at the hammersmith apollo for his birthday. got him hooked on cloves haha (y)
not much else special happened until DIZZEE on thursday at the forum which was superb. 'i'm flyin', i ain't got time'. i think possibly sooze, peter and i have watched the videos a bit too much. we found out you can slow it down as much as 1/32 and zoom in.
classic moments:
+ the double take of the boobs
+ the 'flyin' (with the extra special little hop)
+ the grin
+ 'oh no, there goes my hat!......i'm running after the hat'

am back in chelmsford now, will, sooze's lovely impish boyfriend, has been staying with us a while but i thought i'd give them the weekend, plus also i needed to just have a hot bath and a nice sleep in my own house. chris came over last night, got here just as the fireworks at broomfield primary were ending but i managed to see the whole thing. they were very spiffy and made me feel like a little kid again. i made spaghetti bolognese, which i've not made at uni yet and missed sooo much and it was tasty. bought an oz and we've already made a dent in it.
feeling a bit down today cuz chris left at like 1 and i've been alone just wandering the house, looking at photos of my family and listening to elliott smith. rachel is coming over in like an hour though, we're gonna get a takeaway and have a chat which will be nice. it'll be good to be able to talk to someone who really knows me.
best thing about today (sadly enough) is having the internet! but mainly cuz it's meant i could talk to chris (you Mr Chris Little) who i've missed loads being away. am going to start taking my laptop into uni i think because i can't handle not being able to download and stuff. in fact, i'm going to start waking up before midday and actually doing productive things with my day.
next week i'm going to kew gardens with jonny, who is an awesome scottish lad in my halls. last tuesday, jonny, peter and i went to trafalgar square where they read out the names of 5000 people who died in the iraq war. it was pretty sobering and hard hitting. ken livingstone started, followed by stephen hawking and i was like dumbstruck. i <3 him. i was kinda disappointed with the turnout, only about 200 people. we stayed for the full 5 hours but it was depressing that there was only about ten of us left by the end. to be fair it was freezing cold but still. then a bunch of us stayed up til 6am watching the election.
new hopesfall album out now, i know it's awesome from the live stuff. gonna buy it soon as i get back to london tomorrow. wish they'd come over again.
tired now so i'm going for a nap.
hope everyone is well

my mum and sergio had another huge fight this evening. it was horrible and i was stuck in the middle.

in other news, i think i'm in love. at THE worst possible time in my life. bitchslap from karma or what?

the tori amos cover of lovesong is my favourite cover. and the aching heart remix of that is radtastic too. though it goes without saying that nothing beats the original.

today my favourite song is three libras by a perfect circle.

i'm not gonna fucking just fucking leave it now

last saturday i got the tube up to heathrow to see adrian, he's had to move to australia to live with his dad and i had to watch him go through the departure gate. you know when your body just sighs and your heart clenches? that's what it was like. i miss him so much but it's not just that, i feel like i failed him, i should've looked after him better, stayed in chelmsford so he could live with me and get to stay here. i hear from him everyday in some way or another which is good, i hate it when he says he's homesick though, that kills me. so depite this, i've actually had a really good time since i got back from kenya, had a chance to catch up with some people, dan (costa dan not rutland) has stayed over a couple of nights and we've smoked like chimneys, emulated the early morning birds swooping over the crops and laughed hysterically at nothing. and i met up with tom again and we stayed up til early morning just hanging out and chatting. went to jazz night at the bassment with kerry and simon which was ace. decided guthrie is a sexy ugly and when he plays i want to take him home and well... i've been back to the bay and met some new funny people. and james aka postie is back in town and we had a cool chat, apparently he's organising loads of stuff for fresher geologists which is ace. he's really friendly and it'll be nice having someone i know there. nathan, jack and matt stayed over on friday night and we had a laugh, the new demo is nearly finished and it honestly sounds great. not at the standard of a signed band or anything, but it's promising. the riffs jack and nath are coming up with are truly awesome. i got my lip pierced again, same side just like 4mm inwards from the original one. i've decided to get my tragus done next, though we'll see depending on the money situation. i'm quite set on getting dreads again, i'm just not keen to push it again with my mum yet, she'll have a fit when she sees my lip.
and went to chicagos again yesterday, it was good to see peter and hannah and frances because i hadn't seen them in ages. peter and i were thinking of organising stargate night for saturday or something, frances? whenever you can make it. i'm sorry i was a pathetic stoned twat last night, i wanted to talk, to catch up and stuff. im a shit host. mandy (phil) came aswell which was so great, he's just fucking hilarious. and so nice too. and angelina called today, which was just the highlight of my week because i have missed her so much, she's just back from america. and we shall probably talk til our tongues fall out tomorrow but i can't wait.

i've not stopped being a teenager and moping/fretting/fantasising about every aspect of my life. oh yeah been fucking it up a bit too. i've continually messed with my head, deciding i like someone, but that although all i want is a physical thing, [because being fair i am eighteen and am quite liking the idea of a summer fling that's just about sex] but knowing that it's stupid because they wouldn't want me. then someone else, but that's just wrong because a good friend of mine has feelings for them. or someone else because they are too far away. or someone else because we are too good friends and i don't want to risk them realising who i really am. or someone else because i used to love them and feel comfort in knowing that love is a good thing, and that we were never going to get together but it not making the feeling any less happy that they exist.

i know this makes no sense, i'm just hoping that random babbling about this will induce an epiphany of sorts so i can get back to thinking about important things and not pathetic self obsessed shit that has suddenly become an issue.

i'm just smoking constantly because i don't want to think about those serious things anymore. obviously it's because i love the feeling, i love how it all becomes even more precious to me, how things feel in tune. but i hate not knowing what i'm feeling and thinking. and although getting stoned makes me forget about it, it doesn't make it go away. i don't know if i'm happy or sad, i don't know what i should do. i need some direction. today is the day i decide to stop taking drugs. for the next week anyways. and it's not just because i have a pitiful amount left and am too skint to buy more. there are things i wanna do, actually do and not just think about. i'm gonna get me a temping job. i'm gonna sort out tickets for the gigs i wanna go to. i'm going to go back and do some pottery. i'm going to read all those books that i've ever wanted to. i'm going to work and achieve something. i'm really fed up of being a waste.
i always fucking leave things, 'yeah i'll do it later, yeah when i have more time' what the fuck do i have now? time. and that's it. i think i've said 'i can't be arsed' more times then george bush has been called a dickhead.
truth is it's all talk and i'm just so scared
scared of failing, of not being good enough, of being hated, of being nothing.

i miss my mum too, she's not back til the ninteenth, which yeah is cool, woo month to myself, but i miss all my family and spiros calling from kefalonia yesterday made it even worse. i miss yiayia and i miss adrian so much and i just want someone to hug. someone who knows me, like actually deep down. and that's no one. and that's sad.

i don't know if it's lightning or my eyes spazzing out.

i'm going on a cleaning mission....gonna sort my life out and get rid of the clutter.

i keep putting off actually writing about going to kenya and all that stuff, it's not even very interesting, i'm just in a state of wah. maybe i should just live my life and not even bother writing anything down. i'm going to finish this joint and lie on the grass and cry and not think.

i miss adrian. he just came online for like two seconds and said 'hey can't stay just wanted to say hi =) <3 and a rose' but he was gone before i could say love you back.

i want to not get into ucl so i can take a year out and go to australia and stay with him. and then travel, to mexico and lots of other places. and possibly not return.
