  1. Just had a hilarious little argument with the ladyfriend about music, cause she won't stop listening to the new Fall Out Boy album, and much amusement arose when I suggested she listen to some intelligent music. Of course this backfired epicly since at the time I had Spheres of Madness by Decapitated on. Had to take the piss poor politicians response by giving her some shit about my definition of "intelligence" . I swear, if that lass does chuck me it's going to be due to a Tim Bisley esque "difference of opinion" =p. Other than that, day was pretty uneventful, spent recovering from NYE, which was shit cause I passed out on the tube at 2am, and I don't remember anything. Currently waiting for my loan to come through so I can get a new video card, and finally play Crysis. Wooot.
  2. Dear god. Finally another human being on here who understands. One question: Cake or Death?
  3. There's only one good one available for the 360 atm. It's the Hori EX2. I got it from Amazon.co.uk for 40 quid brand new. Got two of em now. They've gone down in price actually, I got my first one for 80 quid, but that's when they were discontinued for a while. Definitely get yourself one .
  4. 1. Other people getting to play Chrono Trigger, and thus significantly diminshing my status as a rambling madman whenever I go on about it 2. Simultaneously getting a second arcade stick and the release of SF2T: HD Remix. As a result, I've got so many uni friends addicted to Street Fighter. Awesome! 3. Finally getting my hands on Gears 2. Wooo. Now I just need to start playing multiplayer...=D
  5. Paramore are appalling. This thread has gone to shit. Merry christmas.
  6. Well, my mum took me clothes shopping, and bought me a new 8.2 megapixel camera for uni photos etc. Dad bought me a new desktop PC since my laptop is now fucked. Good haul overall.
  7. Nah, what gave you that idea? Right handed all the way. I'm left handed when it comes to writing though. Bit wierd =).
  8. Back home for Christmas, and got a new camera! Which means subjecting you lot to badly taken sepia photos of myself! Yay!
  9. I don't believe we've had another epic 3 day meet since the original one in London. What say we give that a shot again?
  10. Dear god, stop quibbling over etymology and just call it a knob. Anyway, as for guys, yeah I can tell when a guy's attractive, and not in a purely sexual way either, but I don't think that says much about my sexuality. For example when I'm watching a film with mates or even walking down the road, I'm more likely to comment if I see a hot guy than a girl. I suppose that comes more from wanting to be like them than any real sense of attraction though. That's my rambling contribution =P.
  11. 10 Things I Hate About You; I was drunk and I fucking loved every second 9/10.
  12. Yeah, I need to get some perspective. I wish I'd made a collage of all the shit times for future reference and writing material. Nobody wants to hear about how awesome your life is Anyway, random thoughts: I like tea. It's fantastic for when you're trying to do an essay. In fact I like to think of it as a competition between my feeble mind and the laws of physics; see if I can finish the work before the tea gets cold. Also: I hate Robert Lowell. All of my poetry essays in the first semester hasve been based on one of his, quite frankly, shit poems and I really have nothing of interest to say about it. Can't wait for optional modules next year... I knew I shouldn't have taken amphetamines at 8 in the morning. Relentlessly hyperactive right now.
  13. Urrrgh, supposed to write a 600 words essay about "feeling marginalised, excluded, or 'other'" but I have nothing to go on. I hate creative writing.
  14. If the next one is in London during term time...I will come to annoy you profusely, and drink all your alcohol.
  15. My golden rule is: If in doubt go for Top Gear.
  16. Fuckin A. Although Biggie Smalls is probs turning in his grave.
  17. You are a young Bill Murray. This is as high a compliment as I can give a fellow human being.
  18. Just drove back from the gym all sweaty with my buddy as "Lets Get It On" plays full vol. Aside from the obvious discomfort, Mr Gaye actually has some of the greatest backing music ever. Love it.
  19. Oh balls. Got 48 quid in my account. Enough to buy a ticket, but not enough to actually get fucked out of my skull. I'll have to bail once again. Why doesn't somebody do it while I'm actually in London! Might have to do it myself...Let's say...14th Feb around Hyde Park? I'll be there.
  20. Not talking about style of music, but more about the impact they have/ had on the kids that listened to them at the time. Both bands have some pretty iconic songs, and both bands defined the popular musical zeitgeist to an extent. To some people First Date might be their equivalent of Black Dog, if you see what I mean. Maybe I'm just talking shit. Had an interesting convo with a mate about this though.
  21. Nah, can't say it was, I met my better half this year, sparks happened etc. She moved in a month and an half ago, and life has been awesome ever since[/cheese]. Although if we're looking at relationships strictly outside "that" particular area of interest, the guy I considered my best mate for years hasn't talked to me since the summer...which is faintly depressing, but hey, shit happens.
  22. Being the bitter human being that I am, I feel the need to inflict my addiction to this song on everyone: To be fair, they're one of those bizarre bands that don't work on record at all. In fact I don't think they do anything particularly special musically, it's just live that the spectacle is so thoroughly surreal that you can't help but be slightly mesmerised. Kinda like Genghis Tron... Also: Seeing as I'm fairly hyperactive at this moment in time, and in the mood to make controversial statements, I'll just go ahead and say it: Blink 182 are the Led Zeppelin of our generation. Discuss.
  23. Anybody here like The Locust? Every sound they make horrifies me, yet I'm completely addicted. Saw them live a couple of weeks ago too, in their frankly ridiculous Locust suits. Great band.
  24. Where is Hemel Hempstead in relation to London/ Manchester?
  25. The gf just left for Singapore which leaves me with shittons of free time to do whatever I want. Yaaay, gonna be posting here more often now. *Collective sigh from N-E*
