I'm on a train
It’s nearly in London. Possibly. It’s obviously delayed as we should have arrived by now but I have no idea how much it’s delayed by.
Anyway. I feel pretty anxious right now, and that’s only increasing as we get closer. However much I bitch and moan about my parents, I love them dearly, and being at home with mum looking after me has been really very comforting.
I think, if I do lose my job, I’m...
So. Christmas happened.
Christmas Day was pretty ace. Loads of food and booze and we made bellinis and I got some awesome presents and that was good. Boxing Day was less good. Too many family members and everyone talking over each other raising their voices in a vain attempt to be the centre of attention and answering the same questions about my life over and over again - lying, of course, because no-one wants to hear...
I hope all of you have wonderful christmasses
Regardless of whatever else is going on in your life, I hope you can put it behind you enough to enjoy the next few days.
You are all wonderful :-)
Ugh. How do I tell the rest of the band I don’t think they’re invested enough? There’s more to making a band successful than just the music. So much more. And I really do want to make this band successful. Why wouldn’t they?
I like to wear socks.

Socks are for weirdos. Normal people go barefoot around the house.
I still say you’re wrong. Socks are so comfy.

Oh Hell
Slipped and fell on my way in to work this morning. Am working from home today. Boss just emailed me saying she wants to have a meeting after Christmas to ‘talk about my objectives and performance’
I can’t do anything right at this place.

Hi. How’s it going? I’ll cut to the chase I guess. I am starting a webzine. Oh my. A lot of people do it, and now so am I. Well, not just me. I’m starting it with a couple of people from my course as part of the final project for my degree, so it needs to be good!
This is where you come in, I suppose. We need writers! If you’re passionate about music, art, film, literature,...
Ugh, it’s still pitch black outside. I hate this.
I don’t want to go into the office today. I’m happy working, but I don’t want to get up and travel halfway across London in the slush and ice. Especially when the work I need to do can be just as easily done from home.
I’m really not the biggest fan of winter.
The days will start getting longer after today. The mornings will start getting lighter. Hopefully, before we know it, winter will be gone for another year.
Happy Solstice, everybody.

Here's wishing all of you a very happy Christmas!

London is under a large amount of snow at present. I’m hoping, though, that my presents will still arrive before I go home (and that I’ll still be able to get home ok!)
This year has been quite a wonderful one for us, and I very much hope it’s been good for you guys as well. A brief recap:
Since our EP went online in August we have had:
Over 1,000 downloads
Approximately 50 CD...

So. I have some questions to answer and some concerns to hopefully lay to rest and things. Here goes…

what camera did you get? x
I got a Canon 500D, which is what I had before. I haven’t set it up yet (it’s still in the box!) but I’m looking forward to using it again.

I just want to say a quick and heartfelt thankyou to everyone who messaged / replied to me yesterday. I am going to respond in more detail over lunch, but for now - thankyou
I cried at lunchtime today.

I’m not looking forward to Christmas. I still haven’t booked my train ticket home. I’m drinking too much, smoking too much. I’ve missed my last 3 therapy sessions. Last night I mixed marijuana with nitrous oxide. On Saturday I had group sex and got so drunk/stoned that I didn’t notice someone walking out with my camera. Or, the even worse case scenario, that a total...
I don't think I'm doing so well

So what has everyone been up to, anyway?
No-one really talks to me on here anymore. It makes me sad.
I think someone stole my camera last night. I cannot for the life of me work out when, or who it might have been. But today, I cannot find it. Anywhere.
This couldn’t be a whole lot worse.

They really do show the strength of feeling involved at the protests. And some of the horrors being committed by police
So, here’s my rant about work. Are you ready?
We played a gig last night. It went well. But what with the stress of organising that, plus the stress from work recently, I slept through my alarm this morning. Not good. I was about 45 minutes late for work, although I made up the time by working through lunch.
And yes, it’s very unfortunate that this happened just over a week after I...
