wow. just... wow. I went to a gig and it was absolutely incredible.
In other news, i'm frighteningly busy. work, mostly. No, really...!
No art. just a short entry to prove i still exist.

Mother of all things holy.
Freshers' week was amazing, really, it was so much fun, but now... gah I have so much work and I've only just started!! and this is me procrastinating, definitely, I'm in the middle of an essay which is due tomorrow and it's not coming along all that well... Alright. It's still way better than school.
Happy happy happy I really am
I'll come to my senses in a minute and then I'll get on with it

Just waiting for the start of the university term... it's quite scary really. and of course i've got to do all the preparation, buying mugs and glasses, finding industrial quantities of stationary, learning ancient greek... the normal stuff.
Yeah.
So. Nothing really happening. But I do feel like I should update this from time to time.
And loooook i found something else to amuse myself with.

If my life was a movie... (the soundtrack)

Instructions fyi:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. Just hope it matches. It won't for sure. That's why it's dumb.

Goddd the holidays... I just want them over now.
New Years was fun, went out and about, then drank pink champagne barefoot on the terrace and watched breakfast on pluto... It's a good film, has anyone else seen it?
Now I'm dreading next weekend.
I haven't drawn anything for aaages either, I thought I would with more free time but noooo. I can't be bothered maybe I should have made a new year's resolution but I don't think it would have made much difference really
