I am so drunk on chardonnayyyyy
Don’t even care
For the record I answered my asks before the chardonayyyyyyy
Also it was really hard to type that
Listening to Patrick Wolf and bawling because new doors are opening that I don’t want to walk though. I will miss work so so much. 6 months so fast. Thank you for making me feel like a normal capable human being. And sorry for coming across like such a dick, I have shit...
Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe

So jealous! You’re so lucky to have seen her. I have a horrible feeling she was at my ridiculously queer university last year and now I hate myself for being so unknowledgable that such amazing talent existed in the world and was on my doorstep at the time.
I love when literary people tour because the whole crowd is completely utterly captivated and they giggle like schoolgirls and boys in...

Last day at work tomorrow
wahhhhhhhh
I discovered Andrea Gibson this evening and thus have spent the last 3 hours or so crying and occasionally giggling at her amazing poetry on youtube. I don’t even like most poetry.
Hopefully all the emotion will be drained out of me now and I won’t do anything stupid tomorrow when it’s home time…

I wish fitblrs had been around when I was ill
maybe I would have paid attention to them more than thinspo and saved myself a lot of pain.
This week I discovered that going to the gym in the morning as opposed to the middle of the night is actually AMAZING, gives a huge endorphin rush for hours and hours after and is pretty much the greatest thing I’ve discovered in life since Glastonbury…yeah, I was shocked too!
I was doing...

Also, as an employee in the Social Media business
I would just like to say I STRONGLY DISAGREE with Tumblr’s little ‘promoted posts’ marketing plan.
I get that they need to make money and that companies are getting essentially free and very effective advertising if they plan their social strategy on Tumblr well, however Tumblr works for businesses because it ISN’T in your face. You choose to follow a brand, you choose to...

Today it is warm in the UK.
This is a major event for us so I feel it must be mentioned.
This stuffy mild Spring temperature reminds me of college in particular for various reasons so I was going around today thinking all nostalgically about it and getting sad because there’s some nice bits I miss inbetween the mental illness, insomnia and heartbreak-recovery. Fast-forward a bit and I find myself sipping away at a...

Sussex Police have today closed an investigation into allegations of a sexual assault against a female student on campus, after being satisfied that there was no evidence to show that such an attack took place.
As I said in my email to you yesterday, this assault was alleged to have taken…

redlips28 replied to your post: Dilemma indeed!...
Well with that username I feel I have no choice but to trust your advice! ;)
Although with my current lack of funds I’m tempted to just get some red skittles and do things old skool *coughprimaryschool*
or just go round snogging people to steal their lipstick. Would that count as some weird form of kissing-prostitution?
Ehhhh. Desperate times etc etc…

NAIL-DRYING DILEMMA
#femmedayproblems
in other news I’m sad as I just remembered I chucked my red lipstick - last week every single one of my friends mutilated themselves with it while drunk…boooo :(
Too expensive to be a femme. Might have to ignore my femmequeerness for the sake of my student budget…or get myself a sugar...

Weird flashback no. 3598458
Something I’ve forgotten for years literally just came flooding back to me for no apparent reason.
When I was 14 the girl who I was in love with, back in the days before she violently protested she was SUPER SUPER STRAIGHT LIKE OMG WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I’M A HOMO?!?!?!!111 etc etc, I swear there was a time where she insisted she had a male persona. Like she told me his name and...

Suckssssss :( When people did that to me in school/college I used to just stare and stare and stare at them until they got freaked out. I think people gave up being nasty to me in the end because they were so damn scared of me, heh. Try it, it works!
Alas, I’m in another room so I can’t actually follow my own advice. But fuck them I have biscuits and books and their bitching is based...

Still so baffled as to how he got into power
Still baffled as to why my disabled-living-on-benefits-piss-poor-lower-class Dad voted conservative, quoting Daily Mail bullshit when asked to justify himself
why why why
I know this isn’t a unique or original sentiment but I’m seriously getting pissed off by EVERYTHING the government has said in the last month. EVERYTHING’S SO TORY...
