The cold, chilling wind. A leaden sky. The featureless, spiky architecture. A sea of plague ridden wastrels, huddling along in small groups whilst coughing their disease into the air around. Red rimmed eyes stare sullenly out, concealed as they are beneath dark hoods...

I admitted defeat today and begun to look out some more Autumnal and, dare I say Wintry, clothing. As I look out my window, the yellows and browns are just beginning to steal precedence from the green. Always an interesting time of year, and one that calls for some Keats...

I now have the most bizarre mental image of you in a huge coat, killer heels and a pirate hook...
like Eddie Izzard playing Captain Hook.
I'm not a student any more as of today... help!

Lovely
So, just a few short days before the return to the drudgery of University life. Oh, how gratifying! My Summer is over in the blink of an eye once again! And what's more, I spent every minute of it in England. Not what I wished for, and not something I intend to repeat.

Well "Gravestone" was written in a really 'life-loving' situation, and the last days have been again just like that... but I won't clusterbomb your journal with my shits 
In my opinion german lyrics are... well wether it turns out to sound like "Rammstein" like (or at least your audience automatically will put you in one line with them) or it sounds like kind of wellfare-band-lyrics.
Even if our new drummer asked if we could do a german song my answer will be "no", and as long as I am the only one writing and caring for lyrical mayhem it will stay this way.
And now I need some time to feed my brains with your new part of story

Ooh, intriguing!
After hearing "Jerusalem" played many times over to celebrate the England cricket team winning the Ashes, I'm prepared to start a petition to get it as the English national anthem. "God save the Queen/King" I find to be remarkably dirge-like, but "Jerusalem" stirs what nationalistic strings I have (and those are admittedly few.)

Nice, I'll be very sorry to leave studenthood behind, as I must in a couple of weeks when the thesis is in... you bitch about it till it's over, then realise how safe and cosy it is
PhD, here I come... four more years of NUS card

hello and thanks for the welcome
My MA is in movement studies, and my thesis is on the application of Laban actor movement to CG animation. hurrah.
Unlike me, I see you're studying something socially useful, thank you. I'll know who to call on when the writing drives me nuts. you must get that gag all the time... sorry
yay for fish.

Or does each "birthday" mark another step upon the road to completion? We have 365 days worth of new knowledge and experience to build upon what we had the previous year.
Is it not a chance to reflect on what you have achieved since your last "birthday" and how you have improved yourself as a person?
I always find birthdays yield very little in the way of excitement, but maybe that's because I've failed to evolve as a person since the last! tongue
Presently, I'm trying to avoid such thinking. A detailed examination of the year gone leaves me in a poor light.
Ok, so I had another stab at the ol' writing. It was hard going to start with, but it got more fluent as I went on. I'm quite enjoying writing it, so I might continue on with it, rather than becoming bored and giving up, as per normal!

Yeah, I think in front of my lovely fireplace might be a nice idea, and I do have a few things that I think might work...
Keep up with the writing, its sounding good!

yeah.. the light here is famous among artists! it's shot on the west coast (not of sweden though, but of the island i live on)
There was a bit of thunder and lightning here last night. It was short yet intense; a technicolour storm.
Anyway, it got me in a melancholic mood, and as I learned from Keats, you should never waste a melancholic mood!
So I got creative...

Today I have been....starting political debates in the office. 
Contentiousness bad.
Tonight I shall be....musing on the state of the world from the crepuscular gloom of my study. (Or sleeping)
Tomorrow I shall be....attending an exciting and inevitably violent music gig.

I like his nose. 
I play badminton. And by that I mean I play the game that has no specific rules and consists entirley of trying to get a volley going with whoever is on the other side of the net (usually a grandparent)
I meant "entirely"
