Uni :)

With a huge cup of tea, glasses on and my feet up (after walking from Canterbury back to uni - lets not be surprised) I can chill out in my room, at least for the time being, before I'll get hungry, go out, or get a knock on my door. Yesterday I've met some amazing people and it was only the first night, I hope this trend will continue on. I managed to get my internet working in my room - which was a miracle in itself - I was on the verge of crying and giving up. Nowwww the room is getting hot because I even turned the heating on, so after a long cold night out I can come back to a warm room - unlike yesterday.
This post is taking me ages to write because I am running around like a headless chicken. I keep coming back to it and everytime I do that I keep losing track of things and thoughts. I think I'm just going to forget about it.

People who invented the optical trackpad on Blackberry should go to hell

Just got the new Maroon 5 album "Hands All Over" - what on earth happened to them ? I didn't have the chance to listen to the whole album yet, but I mean judging the brief snippets of random songs are enough for me to know that Maroon 5 will never ever repeat the soothing sounds and the meaningful lyrics of their first album "Songs About Jane". The Script's new album "Science&Faith" came out a few days ago and I mean their songs didn't get that bad at all. I was surprised and found myself listening to it a lot (on repeat!). Jeez, Maroon 5 ?!!!! Where did the rhythms of the song "Shiver" disappear, along with the fierce lyrics of "Harder to Breathe" ? Maybe I'll warm up to their new album, we'll see.
On a completely different note, coming back from Victoria at night and walking towards my house was terrifying - I was afraid of my own shadow. To make it worse as soon as I came to the front door there was something lurking in the shadow, not afraid of me ! I thought it was a fox but thankfully it came out to be the neighbours cat. Who knows what these hungry foxes can do these days ? I'm planning to live. I sound a bit paranoid now oopsssieee.
Ooo and people who invented the optical mouse on a blackberry curve should die and rot in hell for that idea. I need to restart my blackberry few times a day to make that posh little optical shit work. If I didn't spend so much money on the blackberry I would lose patience with it and end up pressing the middle button so hard from anger that it would get stuck inside the phone. Now I have a huge smile on my face just by thinking about it. Ah sweet blackberry.

PS: Maroon 5 is currently playing on my itunes and it just gets worse and worse.

Get it together

I'm slowly losing my patience with things. Yuppp ... all I can see in my future apart from working my butt off whilst studying law (that is not something I would complain about though) is getting signed up for anger management. Today, just this evening, I think I completely lost it. I'm fuming with anger at the moment. Its actually pathetic. In times like this you just gotta say - tomorrow is another day and just fuck it - live on. I no longer see a point of relying on someone. Now where is all this bitterness coming from ? and where did it all begin ?

Poisonous snake

I saw a lady with a black t-shirt that said "POISONOUS SNAKE", she was old too!.
WOW!

Beautiful Monster ?

Walking down to Clapham I was listening to the radio on my ipod and Ne-Yo's song "Beautiful Monster" came on. It was not new to me, but I just couldn't help smiling at it. What a contradiction, a beautiful monster ? Ahaha. Even when I switched between the radio station's from Capital FM to Kiss - they had exactly the same song on, at the same time! Thank god for Magic - that was the next station saved on my ipod and was filled with some good old cheesy classics. About 15 mins ago I made the effort to actually look up the beautiful monster on YouTube. Impressive dancing, freaky silver eyes, and what I assumed to be the beautiful monster looked like an aged porn star. Ahhhhhhh

London

It's been ages since I wrote anything here! I've been attempting to post something for months, I had it all in my head but every time I actually opened up blogger it was a 'no can do'.
Today I found one article from The Times "Starbucks, summers and other unlikely reasons to love Britain" in my drawer and I knew exactly why I saved it. Since I can remember people were always telling me "Ohhh I hate London" "the weather is crap" "people have attitudes" and I always thought the exact opposite. I see nothing wrong with London. Yes, I did have some unpleasant experiences here with people but at the end of the day - who gives a crap?
This just reminds me, the other day I was walking down to Junction and some boys (you can't call them men, even though their age places them in that category) said "Excuse me, EXCUSE ME - you dropped something hun" and when I turned, they just laughed in my face. I actually felt sorry for them, especially for the gelled haired girl who had a small baby in her hands. How can she even smile at their cheap jokes and hang around with people like that? I guess she is just the same, its a shame the baby will be brought up in that atmosphere.

Starbucks, summers and other unlikely reasons to love Britain: (according to the guy who wrote the article and meeee)

1. Walking
2. Starbucks - unlike the author I wouldn't know (yet!) how Starbucks tastes in America (he's saying that the food and the coffee tastes better in the British Starbucks) and I'm not so much into the "I'm walking with a Starbucks plastic cup, with bed head hair and so I'm cool". The coffee is good, the place is good but not for showing off.
3. Banking
4. DVLA
5. Excuses
6. Drivers
7. Self-deprecation
8. Boots the Chemist - I prefer Superdrugs - always has the deals I need.
9. ID Cards
10. Summers - I even love the rain and the wind.

I'm going to miss London once I move to Uni in Kent in roughly three weeks, but then again Canterbury has its own charm and I'm sure as long as it's in Britain - I'll love it.

Books for Summer 2010 !

With a glass of wine by my side (already feeling a bit lightheaded), geeky glasses on - these books are my summer reads for 2010 :) Its amazing how you can get into a book so much that you forget about everything else. Summer is the time to stop reading all those history and English set texts and enjoy random books. I told myself that I actually want to read funny and as some may label stupid books during my summer - one's that I did not have a chance to enjoy in the past 2 years.
My list may not contain many funny books, but I will end up going on holidays with them :) so whatever they are - I'm happy.

Bring it on !


Reading List:


The Liar - Stephen Fry (finished 12th July 2010) The very title of the book appealed to me at the time. The Liar was something different to all the other depressing books. It reminded me of Salinger's Holden in The Catcher in the Rye, there's even the famous sentence "if you want to know the truth". I was thinking of actually copying some bits of it into this blog, but its 11:00 at night and I have finished the book - the pages have been lost. I might go back to it one day after my holidays and actually copy the lines about lies below. One day maybeeee...


An Education - Lynn Barber (14th July 2010 - Still waiting for amazon to get it to me ! Been waiting for more than a week - its actually pathetic ! )


Catch-22 - Joseph Heller


60 years later coming through the rye - John David California (Holden Caulfield returns! The book is a sequel to Salinger's Catcher Through the Rye - I did not yet read the book (14th July 2010) but already feel a bit on the off side - I don't think it should have been written esp by a different author. Maybe we should all wonder what really happened to Caulfield. A 76- year old man wondering around the streets, with a language that stuck with him for the past 60 years ? I don't know what to think of it. I will update this post after I have read all of the books.

The Gathering - Anne Enright

She's Always a Woman by Billy Joel

I've heard this song on the radio and was looking for it everywhere since. I had no idea it was by Billy Joel (one of my fav. songs from him is "Vienna" and "We Didnt Start the Fire" - especially good for history students), thought I heard Buble's voice on magic radio. Google just rocks.

Rain

Cycling in Battersea Park, right after it rains - I just love it.
