God damn i am so fickle.
About a year ago, i detested the libertines. couldn't stand them. Now, i have to say they are one of the best new(ish) bands out there!

Gah. what a thouroughly crappy day.

I had a coupla flashbacks, and felt really spaced out and monged, which wasn't cool when i was at work.
Lesson one: take less damn drugs
Work was gay and boring (an ex once described me as that, odd! lol) And i have to be back in at 10 tomorrow which is far too early. I don't know how...

we sold out nihilism, and got some beliefs. thought about settling down, maybe start a family one day. but you always miss the days when you could talk passionately and un-ironically about how you believe in nothing and how everything is just shit and it'd be better if we all just died, really. well. thanks for the memories.

haha so rderunk,.

Waiting for October
