Pastures new

If I told you things I did before,
told you how I used to be,
Would you go along with someone like me ..?

So, a new blog.

If we're lucky, this one will reach the magnitude of my old myspace one.

Starting a new blog is an idea that was suggested to me by a few people a couple of months back, but it's taken me a while to actually grasp the initiative and start doing it. I guess the main reason for this is the transition from '4 months of nothing' to '2nd year of language degree course', a change that I'm still only getting used to. The second very good reason is that I forgot. The latter reason works for numerous handy things, such as not doing important seminar work and missing out that oh so boring social event that you're expected to go to out of politeness.

I didn't actually plan on kicking off an opening entry with any kind of 'post' as such, but I've spent so much time faffing about over it it seems stupid to leave it just floating in the ether now. That and it's just gone 5am. I have a lecture at 10. Sleep is not an option.

I have a strange inkling that these sleepless work benders are going to become more and more common as the year heads on. I've just finished an essay on globalisation, a topic that quite frankly can find a hole and drown in it. The fact that it was in German hardly helped the general feelings towards it. That has to be submitted tomorrow, god help me if the printers go on one of their 'lets fuck up at the most inconvenient time humanely possible' rampages.

A final item worthy of ironic mention is the stuff thats popping up on and around my facebook page. Not only are there now sexy singles in the Leeds area, I also have 3 friend requests. It seems I've either become insanely attractive to 20-something American women, or I'm being spammed. Me being a scruffy waste of face, i'm settling for the latter. And theres also one of the most wonderful updates I've seen in a while, so without mentioning any names: "[insert name here] feels like shite so im gunna get in bed n watch a nice dvd after iv had a wee." If you're reading this, you know who you are. You make me sob.
