I have not watched enough 'classic' films it seems

I want

see there's a part of me that really wants to write one of those annoying as fuck whiny lists about all the thinga I want the things I wish weren't at the moment

but I think there's too big a part which would want to smack me round the face for it


I need another drink


or possibly some comedy



mostly I want that person back from where she is
tis only a matter of time
a day, in fact


shutupyaoldfool

I have not posted on here for quite some time

I guess it has been a rather strange week, all in all




I hate how I can have an idea or something, a little bit of inspiration of an idea but then when I try and expand upon it I get stuck and don't know what to put so I normally end up giving up, or if it's for school or something carrying on, doing the rest much worse than I wish it could be and then hating it after it's done


aaah I dunno, typically when everything should be happy and I should be content with everything I'm in a funny mood *rolls eyes at self*
it's probably just I've put off doing this work all weekend one way or another (and a pretty decent weekend it's been, the best I can remember for a long time for that matter) I now have to do it,and however much I'd like to go and play dawn of war all evening I know I have to go and do that and then come back and do this. And the thing is I'm sure I've got to the point in the coursework where I shouldn't just be trying to 'bang something out', but I don't know what else to do, certainly not with creative writing :/

ah I dunno we'll see what happens, half the time I feel I'm gonna fail english anyways, admittedly that mostly because of this looming coursework. That's the problem with being hand fed coursework at GCSE, you're screw-ed at A Level

Right I think that's quite enough whining/timewasting now I'm gonna go and waste my time in some other infinitely less annoying way.

oh :)

I'm all happy now

thank you Rain man/conversing with people I like :)
