Balancing Acts 2

OMG I just got majorly pwned by database errors.

I can't even remember what I was saying, something about getting some fairy lights and arty posters I think. Is there a poster of that Banksy picture where Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta are doing 'that' scene in Pulp Fiction but holding bananas instead? I'll have that in my room if there is one.

I had a cartoon pulp fiction poster in my room this year, it was awesomez.

And in answer to your previous question that I totally ignored, I'm sharing with 3 others, 2 girls and a guy.

Ohhhhhh the little tiny cartoon ones where they're pretty simple but super cool?

4 is a nice number to have in a flat, not too crowded but not too empty. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. =]

These guys.



Yeah I think it's a pretty good number. It's just a normal house with three bedrooms upstairs and one down. I've lived with one of the girls before and the other two I've known since Fresher's week, so I can't think they'll be many problems.

You super excited about it yet?

Yeaaaaaaah! They're the little guys! Me and my friend did some prank calls using a Samuel L Jackson soundboard the other day. It was awesome.

MMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMM! That IS a tasty burger!

Yeah, there shouldn't be many problems providing everyone's considerate of everyone else.

I am super excited. I just want to get out of this house and be living on my own and be doing something with my life. I'm bored of the summer already.

Oh gosh, I get to buy new stationery. SQUEEEEEEEEE.

Yeah I seem to remember I was getting pretty excited by now. I enjoyed my first year so much though, so I hope you have just as much fun, can't believe how quickly it's gone though!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves buying stationary.

I was looking at my list of things I had to buy earlier and I just got this massive surge of excitement. I've reserved my tv card for my laptop and I'm going to buy that tomorrow from Comet. £30 for that as opposed to buying a new tv (mine's way too huge to take with me) and paying extortionate amounts for a TV licence is definitely a good deal.

I love buying stationery so much. It's brilliant. I'll probably come out of Smiths with loads of crayola shit or something but I don't care. I love it. Hahaha.

I just got a tv license on direct debit, because then I don't really notice it going out each month. And I'll split it four ways with my housemates next year.

Right I'm away to my bed I'm bound to awoken at some ungoldy hour tomorrow!

Yeah, I'll get a licence in my 2nd year but this year they can stuff it. My laptop's HD anyway so the quality will probably be better than a normal telly, and it'll take up less space.

Lana Lou!! The show sounds awesome, glad you had a good time. I'm not sure I could cope with Billie Joe singing Last Night on Earth acoustic in the encore, I would definitely be really lame and just cry. Are you going to MSG too? Gah, I want to see them NOW dammit.

Lanes, I'm so glad you had a good time at the concert! And you caught Tre's drumstick? That's amazing! Did you rub it all over your body yet? I think you should find a secure location for said drumstick immediately!

Ohhhh, Elle, that Tre picture has made my week Bless your heart!

P.S. You all need to march your butts over to Mibba to read/catch up on Crowded. I swear to God, I can't stand how good it is!

Post more Elle, pleeeasseee...with a giggly, blushing Billie Joe on top?

FP - I'm just on vacation with my family, we're here till Thursday morning I quite like FP country so far. Is there anything that I absolutely must do while I'm here?

and omg, so many pictures that I need to remember to save when I'm back on my own computer

Ummmm, I dunno. I think most of the tourist attractions are pretty shit. They've got trees wrapped up in red and white dotty paper down on the South Bank which looks pretty cool. That's where the Tate Modern is if you're into "art" that isn't actually art. Just splatters and urinals etc. If you like real art go to the national gallery in Trafalgar Square. I'm pretty sure it's free to get in and it's super cool. Oh and the science museum is worth a look if I remember correctly, but it all depends on what you're over here for.

I suppose Camden's worth a look. Don't buy shoes from the market though, they'll fall apart before you even get them on your feet, but it's a pretty cool area of town.

I don't really know what else to suggest. Stuff like the Tower of London is a bit lame because the tour takes ages and the floors smell and it's choc-a-block full of tourists.

Oh and so you don't get ripped off - if you want a drink or something, don't go into a newsagents, go into a supermarket, they have little expresses dotted around - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Somerfield, Morrisons are all going to be a lot better than any newsagents cos they charge ridiculous amounts. FP's top tip for travelling - supermarkets, not minimarkets.

I did hold onto it all day yesterday. And I just found a spot for it in my room so it's all safe and sound and everyone can see Tre's beauty. There are dents on it so I can't tell if it's been used or if it's has rivets from hitting the drom kit or my idiot brother. but it's so pretty

i am going to MSG tomorrow night but I have seats whcih I'm not too stoked about. I won't be close to beautiful Billie but at least I can just sing my ass off. I was thiking of trying to keep my wristband from Sat on and then seeing if I could sneak into GA but I don't think would work unfortunately. Argh I'm waiting for greenday.com to post Albany pics

And Last Night on Earth was beautiful. I didn't reallly see Billie cuz I was off to the side but Adrienne came out for that song whic I thought was really sweet.

Flaming Phalanges!:

Loz, I fucking love you sometimes. This made my night.

Where actually are you Annie? Cause, if I were you I would get out of London, which is basically a bit of a hellhole, and come and see the Peak District, or the Lake District, or spend some time in a city where people actually talk to each other.

Sorry about the weather, by the way.

Oh and Liz, thanks for plugging my story at every opportunity, you're like my PR person, haha. *hugs*

Gah, you guys always cheer me up, I've had a dead stressful evening, even though most of it was spent in the pub. Still can't face alcohol after yesterday's debacle, so I'm completely high on Coke, I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep til about 2am, also, I just got back from my brother's, cause I left my jacket there earlier, only to find him doing things with his wife that I really wish I hadn't witnessed. Remember that zappy thing that Will Smith had in Men in Black? I need those to be real. And I think I might be sick.

Ohhh no, Elle...unfortunately, I've been there. It's horrifying. Eventually you'll come to block it out but there is a chance you will develop a twitch, especially when people mention walking in on family members getting groped.
