"yeah so like what
going back to derby is like shoreleave?"

One for you and two for me

I think I’m going to start using this more than blogspot. It’s easier to work anyway.

I’m moving back to Leicester one week today. I have not packed, furthermore I have no idea what I want to pack.

I have a dilemma of whether to take my xbox back or not. If I do I will probably be more sociable and be less bored at uni, yet bored out of my skull when in Derby. If I don’t take it I’ll spend more time working and doing more productive things, yet when I come back I will have something to keep me occupied when Mary is busy.

Then there’s the dilmemma of general items to be packed, of which I am drawing a blank right now. I am sure I’ll survive.

I miss the way Uncle Axl used to blow a whistle during Nightrain live.

Speaking of which, what a fucking joke Reading was. You book a band that turns up late 90% of the time then throw a hissy fit when they do. Pulling the plug isn’t very rock and roll is it you morons? Seriously, what the fuck happened to music? Pete Doherty does heroin once or twice and gets thrown into rehab and everyones all OMG WHAT A WILDMAN. Don’t get me wrong he’s like 200 times as wild as me, but compared to music in the 60’s through to mid 90’s its tame as fuck. Do we live in a society now where everyones so scared of being sued that everyone goes to bed after playing a show?

Its not even that I’m condoning the behaviour, it’s just that it makes for better music/songs. Just look at “Love Me Do” by The Beatles and compare it to “Helter Skelter” that was written ten years later. Drugs and excess = better music. As childish as it seems.

Summertime Suicide

Yesterday morning I thought I woke up with an epiphany. I was actually just feeling sorry for myself. And outside.

The sleeping outside thing has resulted in me getting a cold, and now everywhere aches. Which is annoying.

The new Murderdolls album is rearing its head in a few days. What I've heard so far is brilliant. Campy fun in the best way possible. It's almost worth me cracking out the black nail polish, eyeliner and hairspray in celebration. Almost.

Marys away this week. And I have so much I need to get done. I am determined that I will. Usually when Mary goes away I make a big list of things to do then play on my xbox.

The guitar playing has temporarily stopped, as i have a cut on my first finger on my left hand makes holding down a fret too painful. Well, not too painful, but I'd still rather now, yannow?
Im too tired to write. I'll update properly in the week. I imagine.

"knowing my luck, Student Finance will chunder everywhere and David Cameron will fly away on his Death Star, taking all required funds with him. It’s highly likely."

"ok yeh you win,
but only when he was young."

Everyone succumbs to uncle Axl eventually.

I didn't mention I dont think that I've started playing guitar properly. I say properly, I've just been doing finger exercises for several hours each day. Dabbled in riffs from some songs I like, and have started trying to learn Nightrain properly, sans solo.

Its going well-ish. I'm amazed I've stuck with it actually. I usually start off by throwing myself into something for a few days and then give up, but it's been nearly a fortnight now with this.

Nikki Sixx

"The only problem we had was that my dick didn't seem to be aware that she was there. She kept asking me what was wrong, and I was so out of it that I thought she meant what was wrong with the world, so I started talking about global poverty and shit."

Moving out doesnt really seem like an appropriate title anymore. Given that I moved back in about 3 months ago. I am about to move back out though. So who knows.

I should probably do something with the layout of this blog, knock something up on photoshop or something like that.

I havent given up on my new years resolutions, but I'd be lying if I said I cared anymore.

Havent blogged much cus I've been all over the place, Leeds, Peterborough and Abergele to be more precise. Its part of my conscious effort though to be more outgoing, although I'm still not sure thats a good idea. When I'm in my comfort zone I'm aggresive and arrogant, if I get used to being out of said comfort zone chances are I'll be like that all the time.

My love letter to Uncle Axl appears to have paid off, as I now have tickets to see the beautiful fucker in Birmingham this October. Funds permitting I shall be following him to Manchester as well. No idea how Im getting to any of these gigs, or back from them. Its hard enough to get a train from a gig anyway due to the late finish, but when you factor in Uncle Axls penchant for turning up over 2 hours late, its hard to imagine catching one back.

Leeds was erm, lets say elevating. Was good to catch up with Jay and eat for 3 days straight. There was a definite element of rock and roll about the whole thing, although alcohol consumption was kept to a minimum, there were plenty of other distractions and rock and roll to keep us busy the whole time, when we werent sleeping that is.

Peterborough was a different kettle of fish altogether. What the fuck does that phrase even mean?

Anyway, yeah, a lot more civilised, as you'd expect as I was staying with my Auntie and Uncle who are closer to 40 than 20. Surprisingly though the whole time was pretty much spent dossing around shooting the shit, which was a pleasant surprise. We ventured to Cambridge one day, and it was erm, nice.

Moving back to Leicester three weeks today. The summer has flown by. I should really start getting the books and whatever required. Ah well, plenty of time for that.

Will probably blog properly tomorrow/monday.

not to be a dick
but I'd be all... can I go first for a change

"I mean.. we were drunk in a tent once and nothing happened... that was like gay experience paradise... Kinda says it all"

"we just... bonded"

---


I didn't think about it that way until I told the story a few weeks ago
and everyone was like..."you must have at least touched dicks"
and then they explained... and I was like..."oh... no all we did was piss and drink vile whiskey"

You Think Youre so Cool.

Ten points for whoever knows what song that's from.

Going to Leeds in the morning. Don't know why I thought the 9.44 train would be a good idea. Good company, cheap wine, rock and roll and grass always go down a treat though. The only slight concern is I get homesick, kinda. I'm fine at uni and whatever, I just miss having my own bed, whether its in Leicester or Derby, and all my home comforts.

I'm still pretty bummed out about the whole lack of productivity i've displayed this summer. When I'm at uni i do fuck loads of reading and get plenty of ideas for writing. Dunno where they all dissapear to when I come back home though. I think maybe my bedrooms too familiar for me to work in. I guess I've started playing guitar, but I reckon at uni I'll play it twice as much.

I was shaving the sides of my head today when my razor ran out of juice. It's so irritating, it does it every time. This results in me walking around for a couple of hours with one half of my head shaved and the other not, I look really special.

I'm still holding out hope for Uncle Axl to do a UK tour either this year or early next. I can't really afford Leeds Fest with it's 82.50 day tickets and GNR being the only band I want to see. Plus I dunno where I'd crash or anything. A show in Nottingham or Brum would be MUCH easier. I really would let that man do bad things to me.

Michale Graves hasn't released a new album for a while. I love his horror punk acousic vibe he has going on. His life consists of getting high and watching monster movies. And he used to be in the Misfits. And now he just hangs out with Marky Ramone. If a redneck stoner can have a life that good, then things are looking pretty rosy for me. I'd love to find another artist like him, who just cracks out the acoustic and sings about godzilla. Shame. He wrote my favourite song of all time too. Maybe I'll make a list of songs I like.

Saturday Night - The Misfits

Aforementioned Graves penned track. It's just so haunting and 50's and romantic. Especially the acoustic version. The whole songs about some guy who kills his girlfriend and then gets bummed out by it. As you would I guess. Thats my interpretation anyway, it's probably about some bad horror film I havent seen, as most Misfits songs are.



Same Ol' Situation - Motley Crue

The opening line, "She's got an alligator bag, top hat to match" is probably the funniest line in any song ever. I don't know why I like this song so much, its just so cheesy and all WOMEN ARE SHIT GET DRUNK. Not the right attitude to live life by, but still a fun song.



what else do I like? erm,

Breakdown - Guns N Roses



I have been in love with this song for like, 4 years. It's so gentle, not a ballad, or acoustic, but just a soft song about love. It's not as soppy as I just made it sound though. It's got such a great lead guitar line, and the lyrics are wicked, I especially like "funny how ev'rythin was roses when we held onto the guns" It has a very mature feel to it.

Love Gun - KISS

I think Sean William Scott summed it up best in Role Models when he says "You see, Ronnie, his *dick* is the gun!!



Im bored now.

All tied up to a big machine

"You don't want my love, you want satisfaction
You don't need my love, you've got to find yourself another piece of the action
Cus you're crazy, hey hey,
You're fucking crazy, oh my"

- Rose, Stradlin

Decided I'm not going to take my xbox to uni. As much fun as it is nothing productive can come from it. But instead I'm taking my guitar, so, hoorah for productivity. It's a fairly healthy hobby at least.

I think its about time I had some sort of outlet. I don't want to join a band or be famous or anything silly like that. It's just something I can do to get away, whack some headphones in my amp and ignore the world for an hour or so. Musics one of my favourite things about life, might as well play it.

Had a shave two days ago. I'm writing this as a reminder not to do it again. Clean shaven does not work for me. I need a bit of stubble. That is all.

It's weird when you find an episode of How I Met Your Mother deep and thought provoking.

Started watching Californication again, its amazing, and if you havent seen it and are male watch it. That geezer from X-Files shagging people and talking about Rock N Roll is as good or bad as it sounds. Depending on your opinion of good music and people fucking.


"You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way

Get a piece of your action"

- Neil, Sixx

Thunderstruck

"... like I'm comfortable at your parents house

I shit there and everything"

Friends eh?

I keep continuing to surprise myself. That sentence sounds horrible, but I'm tired so it stays.

Going to stay with Jay for a few nights on Tuesday. A week today that is. Alcohol Drugs n Rock n Roll for another week it would appear. I can talk shit with that man for ages. I say man he's still a boy really, but arent we all?

Rather confusingly I spent to day with another J. Spelt differently so you can differentiate. Watching UFC and playing FIFA. Boy things YEAH.

I dont know why I'm writing. I dont want to. From now on whenever I write a new one i'll just write nb on my facebook wall, instead of new blog, which just seems pretentious.

Someone complained the other day that all my blogs are about music. They certainly aren't as personal as they were at the start. Stuff going on with my isnt particularly exciting or suitable for putting on here. Not at the moment anyway.

I was going to talk about TV shows. The one thing I love nearly as much as music is South Park. It is brilliant. However thats all I feel like writing.

I dont feel like writing at all to be honest. I've completely lost sight of my resolutions. Uni isn't coming back for another month and a half at least. All I do at the moment is hang out at home and see my girlfriend when she isnt at work. Which again is fine, but not the sort of thing you want to hear about on my blog.

The most frustrating thing about playing guitar is chords. My fingers used to be extremely fucking strong back when I played bass all the time, because, yannow, those strings are heavy fuckers. After several years of inactivity though they seem to have withered away, and now barre chords are an impossibility. Guess it will come with time, but it doesnt make it any less irritating when it used to be so easy.

Derby seems so old and used up to me now. Theres too much here that I'd rather not see or be around. The scene is fucking aggressive too everywhere you go. I think I prefer Derby to Leicester as a city, but i'd love to be there now because I dont have to worry about seeing dickheads I used to talk to that I dont want to see ever again, and there are plenty of them.

Of course Mary is in Derby too, so Derby wins out overall, but in an ideal world she'd be in Leicester. If Mary lived in Leicester i'd probably have moved into my new house now. Hell, I definitely would have done.

I don't think I'v ever written a paragraph of more than four lines on here.

I feel like going clothes shopping. Which strikes me as odd. I need some boots. My old boots were amazing, except eventually they got wrecked.

I dont know what to write about. Sorry.

A love letter to W. Axl Rose

UK arena tour please you big beautiful man.

Thankyou.

Love

I've got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife.

Watching the GNR Use Your Illusion DVDs. Its quite depressing really. Uncle Axl just reminds me of being 16 again. All the songs about drugs and alcohol and fucking that was all so new to me at the time. It was exciting. I guess you only get that once.

Not only that though, it reminds me of when I used to play bass regularly, and had a fucking good friend who I could jam with and write music without ever taking it too seriously. I used to walk around with just my boxers a tshirt and boots on, I was arrogant, heck I was a cunt, but I had no responsibilities and shit load of new toys to play with, figuratively speaking.

Do I miss it? I dont know. That summer Download had its best line up ever (in my eyes anyway). Within 24 hours of each other I'd seen both Metallica and Guns N Roses. My two favourite bands by a long way at the time. It was a sort of transitional period for me really.

I went from listening to Metallica and Slayer and Megadeth and the sort to stuff like GNR and Velvet Revolver. My music taste hasnt changed dramatically since. 2007 I saw and was introduced to Motley Crue, and the year after that it was KISS, the year after that Def Leppard, and this year Aerosmith. All along the same vein.

It's all about having fun. I dont feel like I'm having too much right now. Although it's nobodies fault but my own. I spent last night getting fucked up with three of my four best friends from school (and Jo). And I had fun. I spent download with the aforementioned good friend who I used to jam with. And I had fun.

Yet nine times out of ten when I get a chance to socialise I won't. Because I can be a miserable fucker. And I need to change it.

I'm aware you have to actually be me to get most of this. I'm sure you'll get over it though.

I've recently started playing guitar though. Like properly. I have a really old one that was just taking up space. It's the first time I've used an instrument regularly for years, maybe I am trying to recapture being 16 again.

All of this is made even more depressing by the fact that I haven't been 21 for a week yet. I'm hardly over the hill.

I have literally done no writing in nearly a year. Nothing serious anyway. It's never something I've shouted about, but most of my friends at uni do creative writing, so it comes up quite a lot. Artistic expression to use a pretentious term is not something best discussed over a bottle of jack daniels.

Everyone but me, is destined just to be, a slave to the remorseless grind

I am so happy. I really am, no idea why.

I love music. I really do. It's fantabulous. I think I can attribute it to my good mood. KISS, Motley Crue and The Darkness have been the main bands for today, and theyre just all so upbeat and awesome.

Still not found an outlet for my creativity. Yet I am no longer bothered. I'm sure things will pick up in the coming weeks.

Going to the caravan tomorrow. It's going to be awesome. Although I still have a shit load to organise/pack/charge. Also I'm not going tomorrow, I'm going on Friday but it'll do.

Really starting to miss leicester, even though its a shit hole. But yannow, the people there are wicked.

Sometimes I catch sight of myself prancing around, and I'm just pretending to be Shawn Michaels without realising it. Granted when I was 7 he was my hero.

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine with Mary and my brother the other night. SUCH a good film, and it continues the tradition of good films having good music in lately (see KISS in Role Models and Rush in I Love You Man) This film features Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue predominantly, and as of right now it's my favourite song. It changes regularly though.

I used to write this blog purely for myself. Then I showed it to Meg when I found out she did one too. So now I write it for the people I go to uni with, which is odd, because only Meg knows about it. Ah well.

I'm not very good at expanding thoughts on here.

But yeah, going to go get stuff ready for the holiday I reckon. Be happy, and if you're not, listen to some KISS or Motley Crue and tell me youre not still not happy.

Last Weekend

via Simpsons Gifs

My lip piercing has officially healed up. Fml. Probably my own fault for leaving it out for 3 days. How irritating.

I feel like I need to start exercising my creativity. Having just spent the best part of a week doing nothing but getting drunk and stoned and listening to rock n roll I feel like I couldn't have been any lazier.

I don't really know where to start. I want to write but it doesn't have much immediacy to it, with too much effort spent on making it a high quality piece of work. There are a few other options though.

I used to play Bass. I stopped about two years ago really, but I still have it lying around. The problem with that was that I felt like I reached my peak too early. Lets not kid anyone, it's not the hardest instrument to play, and sure there is plenty of potential for getting overly technical with it, but technical music tends to bore me, especially if it's so technical it involves some bass shredding.

Then there's it's little brother the six stringer. I never got a good grasp on the guitar due to the size of the frets and having to use a pick. Theres a lot more room with that though for metaphorical dick stroking. The problem is whenever I pick one up I tend to practise for half an hour for a couple of days then put it away again.

The other option would be drawing/painting. This is easy and something I could do purely for fun without having to worry about the quality of it, as it'd be personal expression rather than trying to hone a craft.

I'm starting to wonder about my hair too. I'm 21 in a few weeks and I've had long hair since I was roughly 15. I'm not considering chopping it all off, but I'm wondering if it might be worth cutting a bit off and actually having a yannow, style. The hardest part of this is that I have an undercut and a receding hairline which rules out a lot of cuts. I don't know.

Download was wicked, and made even more so when the Mrs turned up on Friday.

Didn't see anywhere near as many bands as I usually do, off the top of my head there was;

Killswitch
Them Crooked Vultures
AC/DC
Megadeth
Some of HIM (who were AWFUL)
Rage Against The Machine
Slash
Billy Idol
Steel Panther
Aerosmith

So probably about half as many as usual.

Heads all over the place at the minute. Stuck in some sort of weird limbo.

Kickstart My Heart

Today has been a failed day of room tidying. Instead i've spent most of the day watching hair metal dvd's and talking to meg.

I am very sad about not seeing Motley Crue this year. They are only playing Sonisphere and this makes me sad. I think I could probably listen to Motley Crue forever, and I pretty much have been non stop for the last 3 years.

I know I've pretty much ignored this lately. Literally everyone seems to be using one nowadays though so I'll make an effort. Along with formspring and twitter socialising online is more mental than ever before.

First year of uni is finished now, and I think with Aaron, April, Meg, Conor, Aimi, James, Dan, Tom, and several others I've done a lot better than I ever thought I would in terms of actually being nice to people and making friends. Plus theres Jenny and Lauren who are so fucking easy to live with that it hurts sometimes.

Now that I'm back for the summer I'm missing regular trips to the pub. Derby fails compared to Leicester as no matter where I go in Derby I always see some prick I'd rather not.

Heading to Donington next week. I've no idea why Vince Neil thinks moustaches are cool.

Download should be good this year, Jays coming who I dont think I've seen since 2006, and for saying we were best mates it's pretty weird. We have the same taste in alcohol and rock n roll anyway, can't think of anyone better suited to a festival than him.

I might finish this off later.

Uncle Axl

Is captain fantastic.

Still yet to finish tidying my room. Sorting through paperwork at the minute. Not that I've been tidying my room without rest for 3 weeks.

The first year of Uni is close to being over. It's gone a lot better to be expected, even if the term "year" is extremely loose, having only spent about six months in Leicester. Yesterday I finished my final poetry assignment (hooray!) yet I still have to sit the exam (boo!) Hopefully, this will be the last assignment I ever have to do on poetry. One can only hope.

I still have 5000 words to write between now and April 23rd, which sounds a lot scarier on paper (or html) than it actually is. I have three weeks off following the week beginning the 22nd of March in which to do it, and I hope to have actually done most of it before then.

Got a lot to update on the resolutions front. Just to refresh;

* Eat a more balanced diet - urm, failed.

* Exercise 3 days a week (Mon-Sun) - Again not quite up to scratch. Hit the gym hard after Christmas and have dropped a lot of weight, down to about 12 stone from nearly 13 over Christmas. Stopped going a few weeks ago due to work, and haven't put any weight back on, and to be honest, without going to the gym I have a shitload of extra time which I'm putting to use.
* Pass first year at University - Not done yet, but well on the way, no chance of this not happening.
* Read 5 books outside of University work - Where did I get to on this? Ah yes, last I wrote, I'd started reading the first Dark Tower book. This has since been finished, and it was good, but urm, you could tell it was written by a young King. Hopefully the series will get a bit more mature as it goes on. I have actually read all the books I need to for Uni, so tonight I shall start the fifth book of the year, which would bring me up to where I wanted to be at the end of the year. No idea what yet though. Got plenty of King, which I wanted to avoid, and thus am pretty much reduced to Barker of Koontz :/
* Be nicer to Mary - I HOPE I'm doing well here. We've seen each other loads, and had all the normal ups and downs, but the ups have been higher than normal. Also for Valentines day I made her something rather than throwing money at her as I have in the past. Hopefully she appreciates the thought and extra work that went into it. Either way there's still room for improvement, but theres all summer for that.
* Manage money more responsibly - Again, probably a fail, not that I've had too much money yet this year. On the plus side it's a fail cus I'm doing more socialising. And I'm always being moaned at for being anti-social.
* Complete at least 5 xbox games - Completed Dragon Age last week, after a hard slog.That was game 3. Game 4 is also very nearly completed, that being Lego Batman.
* Go to a festival - When my money comes through in the next few days I'm ordering my Download ticket, after finally finding other people who are going. Hopefully going to Sonisphere too.
* Find a place to live next year - Done.
* Write 4 short stories - Not even started, project for the summer.
* Tidy room once a week - Hahahaha. I do a bit of it every week. Does that count? In my defense I was referring more to the one at home and not in Leicester.
* Stop drinking - I went two months, and then forgot why I decided I was going to give up.
* Visit Nan's more - Have done whenever I've come home, Vi anyway, can't remember the last time I saw Audrey :\
* Update this fucker more - Yep.
* Be nicer to Sam - Yup. Been a lot more patient with him. Same as with Mary though, there's room for improvement.
* Fast food just once a month - nope.


So uh, not doing too badly. Not really got anything else to say.

A real update

Realised that not only do I not update this very often, but even when I do its usually short and boring. Not that I care - just an observation.

Few good albums coming out soon, Slash and friends, Hellbilly Deluxe 2 by Rob Zombie, who still hasn't bothered to come to the UK, and one more, which I forget right now. It's been a very long time since I got a new album and listened to it properly. Maybe it's a sign of the digital age and how the album is pretty much done as a form of release, I don't know. Or care, as long as they keep getting made.

Assignments are finished for a month now, and I get what is essentially a week off next week. Have a lot of boring talks to attend but no notes or anything to take, and can shut my brain down if need be.

Got a lot of catching up to do though. Room is a fucking dump at the minute. I am actually meant to be tidying it as I write, bt I'm so easily distracted. Noticing how more and more people I know are beginning to blog. It's like livejournal and being 13 all over again.

Started Dragon Age on the xbox, not sure if I mentioned it or not before, either way, it's one of those games that takes you several years to complete.

Nearly done with my first year of uni now, it's been bitchin.

Download announced their headliners last week - AC/DC, Rage, and Aerosmith. At first I was quite dissapointed, as general predictions before X-mas were AC/DC, Metallica an either Ozzy, KISS or GNR. However on reflection I've realised just what a big group of headliners this is, and it's very impressive, with no smaller headliner, of which we usually get one a year (Feeder in 05, Tool in 06, MCR in 07, Offspring AND Lostprophets in '08, and Faith No More last year) Exams dont clash either, so shall be getting tickets when money comes through. Just need to find people to go with now..

Assignments Suck Balls

As the title says. Got two to do in a fortnight. HOORAY.

Completed Modern Warfare 2 a while ago now, which makes it game number two I think. Still going to the gym 3 times a week aswell.

The book hunt had stalled until last night when I started reading the first Dark Tower novel by Stephen King. My next challenge will be to read something by a different author I think.

Going to see Sean Lock on Sunday which will be awesome. Anyway, I have assignments to be doing.

The last month or so has been pretty eventful.

Bitchtits was really ill a few weeks ago, and wouldn't eat. We had to operate and at one point thought she had cancer but thankfully it was just a bad infection and she's well on her way to recovering.

The third book of the year. Not as good as Cujo, and a lot shorter, but still thorougly enjoyable.

Spent a lot of time house hunting. Not having much fun with it and its eating into my uni work.

Finally Back

I didn't actually move back to Leicester until Saturday. Because of this the goal of exercising 3 times a week took a bit of a blow, as its a lot easier to go to the gym in Leicester than it is to lift weights in my room, especially when Mary's usually there.

What else? Finished book 2; Cujo by Stephen King. Fucking awful ending. Not as in it's badly written, just that it's not very nice. Am reluctant to get stuck into a new one when I know I'll have loads to read in the next few weeks for English.

Also completed game 1; Borderlands. Was fun, a bit tedious, with the same sort of missions for 25 hours, but it's length was refreshing, and the foundations were solid.

Eating better is going well. Had a cheat day yesterday when I had pizza for lunch and cheese on toast for tea, but I'm allowing myself to cheat once a week. Otherwise been eating chicken and fish, with roast poatatoes instead of chips, and always having vegetables too.

Not a lot else. Might be going home already this weekend, as the rents may be going shopping to get clothes for my cousins wedding next month. Won't know whats happening til Friday though more than likely.

First lecture of the term tomorrow. Not particularly pleased.

Heading Back

Move my stuff back to University on Saturday. Don't particularly want to after spending forever at home. Life is a LOT easier here.

Managed to finish two books so far, so going well on that front. However one I'd started before this year, and the other was only 150 pages long, so I'll count them as one instead of two.

Both books were shit.

Roughly half way through Borderlands as well, which is Xbox game number one.

The advantage of going back to University is that I can go to the gym again. There's something I miss about battering my body for hours at a time.

Not watching anywhere near as many films lately.

New Year: To Do List

I have purposely avoided calling these resolutions, as some of them don't really fit into that category. The fact that it's a new year is incedental to this list really. Anyway, here's my to do list:

• Eat a more balanced diet
• Exercise 3 days a week (Mon-Sun)
• Pass first year at University
• Read 5 books outside of University work
• Be nicer to Mary
• Manage money more responsibly
• Complete at least 5 xbox games
• Go to a festival
• Find a place to live next year
• Write 4 short stories
• Tidy room once a week
• Stop drinking
• Visit Nan's more
• Update this fucker more
• Be nicer to Sam
• Fast food just once a month

Also found out this morning that I haven't been insured on the car for the last month. Oops. Totally not my fault, Mum got a letter about it and didn't bother to read it til this morning. Can't afford to renew either. So I shall be carless for a while.

Something from twitter which made me chuckle last night:

SamoaJoe
