Tangled Web  Most of my entries are friends-only. Let me know if you wish to be added. Cheers. Take a look at this! Bloody hilarious. Enjoy. http://www.nbc.com/Video/videos/snl_143 Current mood:  amused.Current music: Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Woman. ..you have religious people knocking on the door in the freezing cold of the morning giving you a book that leads to everlasting life. I explained I was happy enough being a mere mortal. She was a kind and sweet enough old lady who was quite taken with me (as I wasn't rude or disrespectful). Adam is to blame for a lot! Current mood:  awake.Current music: White Stripes - Black Math.
You know it's bloody christmas when: * Every bloody shop you go in they're playing old christmas songs on a continuous loop (as well as buskers playing them on underground stations) * Your friends keep asking what you're planning to do for New Year's Eve and trying to goad you to come to some house party, club or dinner (doesn't help when for once in so many years not keen on any of those types of events to see in the New Year). * You already get around 5 xmas cards in post ('tis only 6th of December!) * Some companies have already put on their xmas parties at various pubs/restaurants in Central London * You hear kids whining and screaming to their parents in public that they want either the latest X Box or barbie doll (to think I was one of those kids, plus I got the best gifts as a kid). I'm really really not looking forward to Christmas this year. I'm not even sure what I'm doing this year. My mum's going to be treating it like any other day for the first time in my life. *sigh* On a brighter note, I have my oyster card! I'll be able to simply swipe whenever I get on a bus or go through ticket ramps in underground station now, though hardly feels anything to get excited about lol. Because it's a student one I'll be getting 30% discount off travelcards and buss passes which is cool. It's bloody stupid though that it doesn't work on the overground trains as well. Current mood:  discontent.Current music: Bjork - Army of One. My old friend Rachel from Buckinghamshire is staying with me tonight. She's been one of the closest friends of mine in recent years, and is very much like a little sister to me. She's been there and supported me through some tough times, I feel very lucky to have such friend. For someone who's nearly 18 she's incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, caring and mature beyond her years. She's going to go very far in life - I know it. We'll be heading to central london to National Gallery and then a museum. Afterwards we'll be Brixton-bound to see Paul and Toby (both of whom she's not seen in a long time). So a good day ahead. We'll possibly end off the evening with a drink and movie. Current music: Led Zeppelin - Tangerine. Making a tough decision this week concerning my future, which I feel will be for the best all-round for me overall in the long term presently. Wish me luck. Current mood:  infuriated.Current music: The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated. My great uncle (who was more like a brother to my mum) and who I was quite close to every time he was here in UK has just passed away. He died of some heart bypass complication. He was actually younger than my mum, and has come as a complete shock to the whole family. Anyone who knows me know I'm not at all close to my extended family. He however was an exception, as I could relate to him in many ways. He was the only family member I could actually talk to about relationships or even go out for a drink with. Unlike the rest of the family he wasn't prejudiced and didn't force his beliefs and views onto others. A good man; father; husband; friend. He was actually even a colonel in the Pakistani army, and told me many interesting tales of his days back then. I'm not in tears or feeling terribly bad, it just hasn't quite sunk in that he's dead. Death is a part of life we all have to learn to accept I realise. Will just miss him terribly, as he was a bit like a dad to me when he lived with us shortly back when I was 7. He was such a strong and brave guy also, when I saw him last in 2001 he had become very ill, depressed and weak. I remember when we were carrying a widescreen television he was struggling at his end to carry it. For me it was somewhat saddening. I remember when I was 7 how he easily used to be able to lift up me, sister and his daughter like we were nothing. I'll certainly be celebrating his life more than mourning it, as I know deep down he'd want me to be enjoying life to the fullest extent. Current music: Skunk Anansie - Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good). |
