Plugging and stuff

So I barely ever blog anymore. I think maybe it's because my blogs tend to be really self obsessed, self indulgent and like, moany.
But now that college is over and summer is in full swing I don't have much to complain about. Which is good. Or maybe it's just because I don't have anything interesting to say.
Whatevs.

Anyway, I've decided to start making youtube videos and vlogs. I feel like this is kind of the next step for me, as I am fully involved in pretty much every site out there, I blog, I tweet, I facebook and myspace, I e-mail, I Ebay, I Etsy, I Dailybooth, and I watch endless videos on Youtube, as well as following loads of vloggers. So I just wanted to get involved really.
my channel is, www.youtube.com/effnical
5 stars to anyone who can figure out the meaning of the name ;)
i've already had 12 views on my one video that I uploaded a few hours ago! yayyayaya
oh dear

I think I'm actually an addict,
addicted to the internet, always seeking a new site to join and post on and upload on and creep on. Always looking for the next fix, haha.
Speaking of which, I love Lookbook. Someone, PLEASE, INVITE ME!

Anyway, recent escapades include going out for Johns birthday (Brie and Budweiser are such a high five combo) maximising the movie channels in the living room, spending too much time with Rob, talking to Felix in the late hours, dreaming of travels, becoming more and more nervous and realising that I am unprepared for uni and my course, drinking and drinking, getting excited for my birthday, and making plans for August. The best month of the year? YES MAYBE.

Also, True Blood? Awesome.
I have always had a thing for vampires, it's increasing at an unhealthy rate.



ps I just heard someone describe the Twilight series as 'literary crack'. Genius.

A positive blog

Exams and college are all over. I cleared last week with Mark and it was all very relieving and enjoyable. Kind of sad I guess, I never felt a connection to, or connections in high school, as my high school was hell, and all my growing up was done outside of school, so I think I'm kind of feeling what everyone else did when they left school. If any of that made sense.
Clearing was also good as it meant the English Dept were having a clear out so I got loads of free books :) Always a good thing.

That and recent purchases means I have already read, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, and am currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. It's all gooooood. Next is The Winter's Tale, I love Shakespeare.

Other than reading, now that college is over I've been partying quite a bit. The leaver's ball is pretty notable, embarrassing pictures are all on facebook. Also went to see Brand New at the Forum which was amazing. I haven't actually seen them before and they were pretty staggering. A great setlist if not a little heavy on the new stuff. Play Crack The Sky was amazing, I cried a lot. haha. Definitely glad they're playing Reading fest.
Anyway the partying has caught up with me and I've been pretty ill these past few days. So I've been at home chilling with One Tree Hill box sets and loving it.
Almost better though, so that means good times ahead. I'm 18 in a few weeks so that's exciting. I think me and Felix/Rob might be able to do some travelling before we move to Uni which would be amazing, and is and exciting prospect.

I also went out for a family meal last night. My family are pretty bizarre, and pretty italian. So these nights usually consist of me getting quietly drunk on free drinks, and last night did not disappoint. I soon came home and watched Twilight. That's become a bit of a ritual when I have to come home alone and drunk. It doesn't happen often but it's kind of nice. It must sound kind of weird though...

I'm thinking about starting to make videos and put them on YouTube. I'm kind of undecided though.

Anyway, it's half 2 in the morning and I'm pretty gone. So this is over and out.
