I graduated. I went wandering. Now i'm back in Breastchester. Looking for a job and making my first ever dole claim. Taking up the interesting opportunites thrown up by this city and its inhabitants. Seen so many people and talked so much about so much in the past week already. It's an odd old world when you take your head back out of the sand. But the clouds are shining and it's nice out here, i remember.

Is this where i write stuff?

All the news channels inform me today of the sad split of jordan and peter. how will i go on with my day? *sadface*

The Iraqi Shoe Thrower: Hero or Criminal?

"An opinion poll carried out for the BBC and ABC - the full results of which appear next Monday - suggested 62% of the Iraqis polled considered Zaidi a "hero".

Some 24% of the sample said they viewed him as "criminal", while 10% thought he was a hero and criminal equally. "

Things are back to normal on the home front. It's the Easter hols now, aka essay writing time. These could be the last essays I ever write!

Had to get out. On a bus to London. Had to rein in from trying to impose myself on distant friends for ages at short notice and remember that they all have lives too. On the one hand i'm thinking this might not have been such a good idea after all, but on the other i'm so glad to be away from everything. Maybe i'll just stay on the bus. It doesn't really matter where i am. Luckily i've not got my passport on me.

I gave him one last chance and he took it and wiped his arse with it. Time to move on, but first i need to get out of here for a bit. I need a short period of hugs and blankets because i feel just a little bit too much hurt to function normally. (Any takers?) Normal service will resume shortly.

That's nothing compared to what Em's family are going through. This week they lost Paul, her brother, in as yet unknown circumstances in a far away country. My thoughts and sympathies go out to them. x

Me and Ralph have been back together for a while. I had been pretty resolute to say no if and when he asked. Then he came through with everything that was bothering me, we know exactly where things went wrong. To not have another go seemed a bit mean and futile. And things are great. I'm still treading cautiously but trying not to be too pessimistic lest I break everything. It was his birthday on Tuesday, and in all the confusion I didn't get him any pressies. I did, however, put my love into making shitloads of food including icing a cake which a crowd of us devoured before the Salutation open mic night. The night ended in Satan's with tigertrap87 and M, which was free due to their contacts and his birthday. We all felt quite old in there, but they did occasionally let up in the Emo to play some tunes from my moshing days and some rock classics.

The occupation of Manchester University is still ongoing, day 12 I make it. They're being very nice and not getting in anyone's way, which is unfortunately most likely the reason the university is now largely ignoring them. But that's all very well and good for me to say from all the way over here in my bedroom. I don't really have the inclination to go back.

The aid convoy Viva Palestina had some members arrested under the terrorism act yesterday, and police were given six more days to hold them as of today. I obviously don't know the specifics of the cases and what the police's suspicions were based on, but I nevertheless find it very worrying. I'll be watching this one intently.

Now I need your help. I want to start a blog. I want people who I don't wish to read about my personal life to be subjected to my news critiques. My writing will mostly still be very POV and conversationally-toned, but this will encourage me to make them better, post more research, etc. It will also include original articles.I need a name. A few things floating round:

brokennews
false autonomy
newsfood
subnovum
daily disturbance
critical chronicler
newsriot

language
