Show some muscle, do the hustle

no matter how liberal, free thinking and free spirited I am,
I will never be comfortable watching people I really love be involved with drugs
even in a minor way. Something I have properly realised recently.

anyway the week hasn't been bad
work Christmas party was wicked
I love that we all genuinely get on
After all the shitty jobs I've had, this feels good!

Also Biffy Clyro were awesome the other night.

I'm glad I am now well enough to be enjoying all of this.

Christmas tomorrow

Buttercup Cough Syrup

I really need it, I have such a sore throat
A full bottle is right in front of me, but a tiny word on the label caught my eye
'Huntingdon'

UH OH
The company that own Buttercup are based in Huntingdon.
This means it is SLIGHTLY POSSIBLE they're linked with Huntingdon Life Sciences...

UH OH
I've tried to find out via the internet, but I can't find anything.

Do I drink it?

I'm like Alice in Wonderland
and ALF

I'm ALF in Wonderland.

Cavalry come, cavalry go

I am ready 4 hours early
because one of my supposed oldest and bestest friends is a constant let down.

lame.
so instead I am in my bedroom drinking beer and listening to the Kills. So not all bad?
although I would kill for some jasmine tea.

But all my Unit 4 has to be in tomorrow, bad times.
Also a massive Politics essay needs to be done for Thursday, bad times.

Mighty Boosh live was awesome though, and despite over priced beers, very good times were had.
I also now have a sweet Bollo tshirt, which is luckily very subtle, as wearing mighty boosh tshirts definitely makes you uncool.
haha.

iceland adverts

the ones with kerry katona and all the singing?
HORRID.
apparently the country of iceland own the supermarket iceland though, which is weird. Imagine if all countries had shops named after them.

Also what's with Sophie Ellis-Bextor in the new Rimmel adverts? She is SO annoying. Who marries a feeling? Someone Annoying.
I just hate adverts in general to be honest.

So Woolworths is closing down...where am I going to get my £2 plimsolls now!? I am gutted.

I saw my old manager on the train back from college today, and it was SO awkward. I have no idea if she saw me but I pretty much ran the other way. Oh well, I've seen her naked on the internet so HA. Yes, really.

Tomorrow means an environmental studies mock, bad times. But, then the Mighty Boosh Live, good times!

singing

Isn't it really weird that people sing to you on your birthday?

When else do you ever get mindlessly sung at without question?
It's so odd!

If anyone knows why or how this tradition came about, please let me know.

In my family it's extra awkward because you have to have the song sung to you twice - once in english and then once straight afterwards in italian.
haha

City of God

is an awesome awesome film I watched the other night at my good friend Mark's house. It is genuinely amazing, I loved the use of people from the slums who had never acted before, and how a lot of it wasn't scripted, and how it really was based on a true story
RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND
I'm really loving world cinema at the moment, in fact I have a copy of Oldboy in front of me which I'm very eager to crack open. I'm already a big Park Chan Wook fan and this is his most famous work so :)

I'm currently excited about a photography project i'm working on for Unit 5, or 3? Whichever it is. It's going to be a series of polaroids, between 20 and 50 I think. All of which will be of petrol stations and large corporations. Coming from the phrase 'consumer culture replacing traditional values' which is now forever etched in to my brain after all the work i've done for it.

However I am definitely not excited about being recruited into this really awkward secret santa...
I wouldnt buy presents for half the people involved...
IT SHALL BE AN INTERESTING CHRISTMAS

Also one of my favourite bands of all time, 65daysofstatic have got their own flickr:
www.flickr.com/65daysofstatic
every one of their photos is as genius as every one of their songs
and I wish I had taken every one of the photos, as I wish I had created every one of their songs.

I've got some of those wonderful mitten things where you can fold down the mitteny but to fingerless gloves, this makes for good times on the cold walk to college in the mornings because I can fiddle with my ipod
not that that walk can ever be good.
As grateful as I am for these lovely accessories, I don't want winter anymore!

I've got loads of stuff going at the moment, and loads of stuff I really want to write about. But I'm going to curb it for a while and get all my thoughts in order. I shall be investing in a diary very soon and I'm really going to try and use it properly. I think I'm going to start leaving myself post-its again as well. They're really useful to my short sports of inspiration that are quickly forgotten.

Anyway my internet is being a dick and cutting out every 20mins so i'm gonna go watch Kyle XY
how cute is he?
I know it's lame but I mean really.

Kelburn

The cold weather and all the festivities are reminding me of last year, when it was about this time that I was saying goodbye to finbarr. very sadface. I miss him so. I wish i could go and visit him in NZ.
I recently found this photo of him:

is it not the most adorable thing you have ever seen? Tears completely welled (?) up in my eyes when I saw it! COME HOME NEMO.

No college today

I didn't go to college today, so instead stayed at home watching old episodes of The OC and new episodes of Heroes.

Oh the strife.

Currently sipping camomile tea, watching Sex and the City re-runs and worrying about getting in to Kent Uni.
I don't think my tutor has even sent off my application yet
WORRIED

Also worried about my television binging! Which involves Sex and the City, Kyle XY, Gossip Girl, The OC and very very shamefully (and because it's on whenever I walk in the door) Charmed.
But right now, college sucks people suck and my boyfriend has no money and no phone
so everything is pretty boring!

HOW beautiful are the Manolo Blahnik Hangisis?
BEAUTIFUL.
I know it's probably very predictable to love these shoes, but come on!

Found a magazine in Australia with my name today
it's very very cute, and the blog is adorable
www.frankie.com/au

this time of year

makes me miss you incredibly.

What happened to us?

It's only now, while every song reminds me of you, that I realise you meant everything to me.

Had I known everything I do now, I would have appreciated you so, oh so much more.

I hate myself for hating that you're happy.

golden ticket

eleven months, one week, six days and 11702​.​5 later, and Finbarr Noble is still one of the most incredible people i have ever known.

I always think I see him everywhere, double takes are a regular occurrence, often followed by disappointment
what a hero!

One day....

live, boots and hating uni

Today I found out that I have been fooled into thinking this uni course was 'the perfect course' turns out it isn't.

LAME.
Why would i want to do four years? four years is lame.

But i found some nice boots today and i think i might buy them tomorrow, even though they are extremely difficult to put on.

Earlier I met a very nice italian man who had these incredible medium format cameras, looking on ebay now I am SO tempted to bid...

I have also recently obtained Ableton Live, which by the way is amazing.
Hopefully roberto will actually do some cool stuff with me and it, give my life some meaning, so i can eventually stop listening to him talk about all the incredible female drummers at acm, which makes me hate life, and in turn talk about how incredible I am at being a fake mac based musician.
LOVELY.

Also Paul Smith 'Rose' actually smells exactly like roses. Whooda thought it.

Some guy I used to know YEARS ago just found me on facebook. Creepy, but also hilarious considering his profile has been spewed over, with statements such as 'loving his bbe girl tiff allways' HA. He is also now even more tubby, and looks even more like he has some kind of disorder.
BRILLIANT.

Not too long ago

Someone extremely important to me told me that if they weren't to see me anymore, they would be sad for a while, but life would go on.
Maybe I'm, i don't know what, too involved, or unhealthily captivated

but this scared me,
terrifed me in fact.

I felt disposable, expendable, replaceable.
I still do.

This person means the world to me, and life would really not be okay.

Parkway and Uni

went to see parkway drive the other night - so so good.
i absolutely love hardcore shows. But they've become so angry, which sounds stupid when you remind yourself of the genre. But there was literally so many fights. Everyone was so hostile and couldn't bare anyone looking at them or touching them. Its a fucking gig? It was not cool.
Parkway were brilliant though, as usual. Though so much better in smaller venues than the 2110 capacity Forum.

Also i'm trying to sort out all my ucas stuff and its not good.
I just really want to get in to Kent, and if i don't I'm gonna have loads of lame places to fall back on, which I am definitely not looking forward to.
I think I might apply to a bunch of art foundations as well as a last resort and to keep some doors open.

I'm generally excited about uni though.
PLEASE KENT!

my personal statement

is too long
kdjgdfhdfjkshk;dfjg

today i went to see winchester uni, it was so chilled out. not bad not bad. but too close to home maybe
and not a patch on the almighty KENT.

also, aperture 2.0? I am a fan.

also someone please buy me a fiat 500 for christmas!

aristea

Oh how I miss them and their perfect nose.


Being on tills all day is not the joy I had once imagined.

Fireworks tonight, another holiday from the bottomless cup of excuses we have to get waaaaasted.

LADS ON TOUR or something

last night

I (almost accidently) saw Wheatus live. My 9 year old self can now die very happy.

Tonight I am going to do a ton of politics work, and the maybe have time to watch the Nightmare Before Christmas.
But for now I'm watching hanging out with my cat and watching nickelodeon.

Oh the life of an A2 student.

Also I did this today:

Here are my results:
