  1. I HAV LERND TO LIIIVE THE LIIIAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEE!... Yeah, lgfuadplz. 20k? Pft. Young pawadan... As for the other shit? Do it. Now. Look at me. LOOK AT ME. You do not want to become this shivering wreck. My internal organs have been claimed by the great nations of Caffeine and Nicotine, who have teamed up to maximise word production by instigating a 48 hour day policy. I just went and bought four litres of BOOST. Two sips and I'm SITTING ON THE CEILING AS I TYPE, now. Friend from newcastle is drunk and all crying and upset down the phone. Can't understand a word she's saying, but I know she's over-reacting to whatever's happened now. For my creative writing portfolio I might just rip off The Wire, only replace the cops with uni students, the cases with essays and the drug dealers with... shit I need to work on that. Maybe I don't need them? Maybe they can just stay as drug dealers, only the students don't go beat them up, they just score. I'd do them, but I can only count to jayseven.
  2. Skunky wins, surely! Exactly who I was going to suggest.
  3. Fair enough they're doing it. Not sure if that's how the chart's work (seriously, I have no idea), but it does annoy me that the site wants you to buy the tune through their page via an adclicky thingum which means they'll get some dosh for each sap who buys the song through them. Something a bit nasty about witholding information like that -- "by the way, it's not just for fun - if enough of you do it then I can buy myself a new TV!"...
  4. I think I seriously understand modernism, postmodernism, commodity fetishism, marxism, new historicism and cultural materialism now. I think. Only got to write 2,000 more words! Woot! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh... Can I be the protagonist in your life?
  5. Well that's me screwed as no doubt I taste like fags or cider most of the time :P
  6. Insults that aren't intended to offend are usually a sign of good friendship. Can't handle it in relationships, though. My ex would totally change around her best friend and start insulting me all the time and I wasn't ready for it. If I retaliated amicably it would be taken the wrong way, or I would go too far, blah blah blah. I'm a paranoid mofo, so yeah I think about what other people are thinking all the time. I spend so much time worrying about everyone else that I'm constantly fucking myself over. My fashion 'sense' generally reflects this well, as I just tend to wear shabby clothes. That way I don't have to worry if people think I look good or not because I know exactly what they're thinking! "he's wearing shitty clothes", boo ya. I hate seminars. I have a stupid habit of talking when I'm nervous (meet-peeps might've noticed this), thus I haven't thought about what I want to say and end up trailing off with a "you know what I mean" or a ".. I've forgotten what I'm saying." When I'm chilled out and completely relaxed, I'm a boring motherfucker.
  7. Yeah sure, why not :P Originally I said you had to sign up for it, but if you want to just join in, then fine. I guess the movie club will get more attention. I'll split it into two threads when teh reading dealine is up, by the way. EDIT: The reason I wanted people to 'sign up' was to encourage people to give everything a go. If people just actively select which movies they want to watch then they're not really going to expand their horizons. My two movies suggested will not be like any you've watched before, y'know.
  8. I read recently that he was signed onto the movie like a week before filming started so I guess he didn't do much but apply himself to the role. Again, on the whole analyzing thing [sic] - sometimes a trip to the cinema with buddies has me constructing a mental list of the things i want to talk about after the movie's done. With books, the general idea is that the author did intend some sort of meaning, but with various types of critical theory you can try to look for some unconscious purpose, or argue for a contemporary thought or ideology that in unavoidably containted within the text. Currently the "new criticism" completely ignores the role of the author, instead focusing on the text as a complete and contained work of art from which we draw our interpretations, based upon our conscious and unconscious make-up that may be shaped by contemporary society. Studying English hasn't make reading in itself worse, it just takes a lot longer because I cannot skim-read like I used to -- I'd feel as if I'm not getting the full book if I do that now, so instead I have to carefully read each word or line. It seriously used to take me a minute per page, but now it ranges from two to four a page. It's ridiculous. But I definitely get more out of books now; being able to apply certain existing theories and constructs, or just using my knowledge of the novel's timeline gives novels depth and detail that you wouldn't have thought were there. A good novel can be analysed on several points - language, structure, narrative form, content, style, and so on. I love it when you watch a movie where you find that for a few seconds you're really appreciating the cutting, or the sound or the visual direction. I love it when you realise that what you are witnessing was intentional, thus it becomes a puzzle to try and figure out what it means, or why it means. You have to ask yourself what it made you feel, or how it made you feel. It's awesomefunz. However,
  9. Fool should never have asked for it to be deleted!
  10. Brighton is a tiiny place :P But oh so lovely! My sleeping pattern is fucked. I slept like all of yesterday, and now it's 7:35am and I've got an essay to finish for monday 4pm. I figure i'll grab some sleep just as this sun rises, and probably wake up around 3/4pm, as it sets.
  11. She'd need to be able to make me laugh. Be someone I can be proud of. Be able to put up with my fucked-up-shit. I've put some sorry individuals through some of it, but I don't have the heart to force my shit on anyone else. Bonus: Willing to be my slaaaaaaaaaave.
  12. Slither Well I have no idea how we'll go about this. So what did y'all think?
  13. Name day? Is that like your Saint's day? Found the essay I'm doing an essay on online! ... But also downloaded Slither and the rest of Wire season 5, so veeery tempted to watch them. Oh! Daniel sent me some more train tickets I now have over 150 tickets, much appreciated
  14. More essay fail. Due monday, I was supposed to go to the library and photocopy some of the Key texts that the essay is to be done on... Instead I woke up late and went to the uni to find it all CLOSED so I have no choice but to start it all tomorrow, once again doing my essay the day before it is due. Soooooooooo stressed at the moment. Hate the world!
  15. I'm going to predict that I'll end the season on 36 points. 33 if I'm unlucky :P The upper league (as it should be called ) looks pretty much settled for relegations, indeed. I reckon I'll finish in 4th place, so I'll see you here!
  16. Well I'm temporarily 3rd. While Dom is off the next game, I get to play the team in 2nd, who beat me 4-1 last time. I predict a loss on my part, for my team were playing at their highest potential the last time we met and nothing has changed... and I still predict a 4th place finish... as per usual for me
  17. I just woke up. Seriously, my sleeping pattern is fucked. In one of those dips again. Went to sleep at 6.30pm because I hadn't slept since 4pm the day before. Losing track of days, wasting away in front of my laptop, ignoring the wooorrrllllddddddddddddddddd. I guess I'll go play xbox until it's a reasonable hour, then try and crack the code that is my essay, take a trip to uni and get some fucking books, and do some fucking reading... yeah. Restaurant for Shorty's birthday tonight! Must not fall asleep. Must not have a mental break down. Must not become dope fiend just for the perps of being dressed as a scarecrow by small children. Must make an effort with life. Etc.
  18. I can't really choose, can I? I don't want to get killed in my sleep... Or worse! Drawn on
  19. Tellyn; you're such a nerd taking pictures of the snow from your window and not while you're down there making yellow snowmen like you should
  20. The rent I have is £450 for a 2-bedroom flat in what is regarded as the 'city centre', or near enough. No bills included, but I still pay less than everyone else i know per month. I'm thinking about living about 30 mins away next year, if i get this masters thing sorted and get on teh course - for the same rent as this year(ish) - plus this is £450 for NON STUDENTS which is hella cheap -- I can get a 3-bedroom house with a garden and a driveway - a proper house. Just need to find people to live with, and a job, and I'm sorted! Dom; don't fret too much about finding a place. Me and shorty didn't get ours sorted 'til, what, easter time or something ridiculous? You won't be homeless. Worst comes to wrost, university can help shunt you back into halls. My day! Shorty turned 22 a few hours ago, so us and nami have been playing banjo-kazooie, drinking, talking shit, watching eddie izzard and playing cards. A good night. My lightbulb in my room is bust so I gotta sort that out, but meanwhile I will watch The Wire season 4 and Supernatural season 4 in teh dark, thus fucking up my vision that much more. Essay, again, due monday. NEED TO GO UNI TOMORROW AND GET BOOKS AND NOT CRY AT HORROR OF IT ALL. Ahem.

  22. ok, So this has been several pages of dumbness. Maases' role seems to be founded accurately by Jonnas, so either they're both in the mafia or we need to focus on Vicar's poor investigative work. His investigating is focused on Maase, not any of his passengers, so our options are; 1. Vicar is right; Maase is evil and perhaps one of his passengers, maybe jonnas, too. 2. Vicar is an mafioso idiot and charging in for no reason. Not likely at all. 3. Vicar is a silly cop who gets his info all wrong. 4. Vicar was targetted by someone else, who subsequentially altered Vicar's target. Most likely is that both are innocent, but it would be better to hear from both dudes who Maase claims to have been his passengers last night and see if they can help corroborate each other's stories. Personally I've had enough of stupid games where the Night rules the Day, so I'm all up for voting someone off sooner than later.
  23. Level 5's a bitch. I was chatting to Ellmiester online and he helped me out with this one, as it's grossly unfair.
  24. Not the same. Blurbs are meant to make you want to delve in deeper, where that site sums up the entire movie in a few sentances. Click on the link to see for youself, tbh.
