Jesus fucking Christ, oh god no!
From the moment that you realise,
Most of this ain't real
To the moment that you decide
Shall we go out tonight?
And we'll swim from these island shores
Till there's a fear of drowning.
A little fear of drowning,
A little fear of drowning!
Oh little England...
Tonight, I'll swim
From my favourite island's shore
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully?
And all the money in the world
Won't help you now
The only way is down.
And you know from way out here
There is a little fear
A little old fear of drowning,
A little fear of drowning
A little fear of drowning...
I think that i can see you dear,
oh i would give my eyes to see you now |

on thursday i made an entry saying "i wish my bank balance would stay stable for 5 mins"
...while that was being typed, my debit card had been stolen and a bunch of wankers were enjoying a £210 meal at the triangle tandoori at my expense. They then probably had a massive wank because they are wankers.
i hope they get cancer/bird flu/AIDs/Herpes and then "DIE IN A HOLE" |

So my room is finally all sorted and am on the net -ish, i have wireless-ish. its a bit rubb-ish at the moment though, trying to move the router around and stuff.
everything is going ok at uni, running out of money though, i just wish my bank balance would keep stable for 5 mins. The course is awesome though i wish we had alot more lectures, every single topic is zanily interesting and theres so much more depth we could be exploring with it all, never mind, next term i should be doing alot more. SOmething is making me itch like crazy, karl suggested ironing my bed and Hayley suggested hoovering it to kill any beddy bastads that might be feasting on my manflesh every night, i did both and managed to iron a whole hole in the carpet when i kicked the iron over, man.
...Beddy BASTADS!
missed archsoc this evening because i was playing too much hidden and dangerous 2 and forgot about it- heavans!
Hayleys and mine nine months being together day thing today tonight, i shall sacrifice as many bulls and thank jupiter for her love. but feeling tired at the moment though because ive just been sitting for Al and Mike dressed ethnically as a Romanian refugee woman, carrying a pillow in a towel to look like a child in my arms and attempting to hold a face that says "MY BABY, MY DEAD BABY!!!" while staying comfortable for 20mins as they draw me in charcoal listening to Bjork.
ETHNICLY YOURS

hello!
still have just under a month left in weymouth and the past week or so has been really interesting/cool/experienceful, all this crazy stuff keeps happening to me- i try to just shut up and get on with things and that seems to be when the most outrageous stuff is just attracted to me. aside from all the differentness, cant really talk about that stuff here but what i can explain is that ive had a few cool days with close friends that really mean so much to me, meeting up with lidja a couple of weeks ago was so genius, she did the leaving for uni thing so long ago but she still keeps in touch with the group and when we do rarely get together we just spend time together as simply and as funly and as randomly as always. thats comforting in a way, no one really changes. its like seeing harry in the dog yesterday was really cool aswell,she may have been a little tipsy but that doesnt mean her loudness wasnt sincere. it was the first time i had really been face to face with her darren yet and he just appeared to be such a smiley, happy guy, he was certainly very friendly and seemed pretty open and they seemed so comfortable with each other that i just thought "she hasnt really lost any of her spangle at all!"
and ive spent alot of time with sean, hes off to uni so his perpetual boredom will be over soon! and the him getting with sarah is so weird but fun and interesting and different too.
i went to lyme regis on friday with nath and hannah and it was just really amazing, we were fifty fifty between talking seriously and laughing and joking as it always is with those two but we got to a conversation about the first year our group were all together in perf arts and 6th form and how we all saw a side to each other no one else will ever see, became friends with the most unlikely people- people like liam! and miss carter! and good friends too! but that that will never happen again, im not likely to spend any more time with kim or anne or any of those guys but the fun and stuff we had in 6th form was just so pure and concentrated that we really have enough of each other now to dilute the rest of our lives with which is cool. friends like nath and hannah and sean i can catch up with in less than a minute and i know we'l see each other periodically throughout the rest of our lives but friends like kim etc i cant but i am greatful for what we had when we had it and wouldnt have had it any other way. and while were talking about all this we were just in such a pretty place as lyme regis on such a sunny day. even though i had to rush back for work it struck me that the sea was very blue, the sky was very blue and the whole place was just very bright and alive- a reminder that where ever we are in the world in years to come we cant complain about the part of the world we grew up in.
nothing is simple- you cant just go home and get a job for the summer, interesting stuff happens to you and you have to write about it. you cant just go back to uni and complete another term- more inetersting stuff happens and its never that simple. you cant get away with just shutting up and getting on with things, either you go out and find these things ...or they sure as heck find you!
still just undera month til uni though, and that can be a long time, lets just see what happens. later! (its pretty late already) |

BRITISH SEA POWER
Newsboost Shiel (supplementary)
25 August 2005
*BSP signing session at Reading.
*Maybe the same will happen at Leeds.
Further to the good honest news on the BSP stage times for the coming weekend,
British Sea Power have now been confirmed for a signing session at Reading
Festival.
BSP will be signing both flat and curved surfaces in the NME signing tent at
Reading at 2pm.
If you have nothing at all to sign, do not worry. We have just been out to the
official British Sea Power shed and have located a load of vintage and
non-distressed promotional printed matter. Come along and grab up a full colour
poster from when the Carrion single was released. Or perhaps some cats they find
on the way. Or maybe even an original flyer from the legendary Baraka
performance at ICA. Get it signed and pretend you were there. Or have the band
sign a sworn affidavit and prove you were there.

argh, i'm in such a goey outey moood! i need adventure, work has brought me to the brink of its constraints. whats more is that money is actually starting to matter- ive always promised myself that i would never understand/ get the hang of or care about money but it seems like ive reached the point in life where i finally have no choice on how ifeel about things- reaching the age of responsibility- thats what being responsible really means, having no choice in what you do, doing things by the book, following the rules is being responsible.
hah, thats stupid, i thought responsibility had something to do with leadership and individuality but its starting to seem like the opposite, being responsible involves carrying out tried andtested methods in a manner that has been proven to get results, thats the opposite of being adventurous. when youre young everything is taken care of- you have no responsibility because of that. but the way i see it is that that is the point in life where you ARE most responsable, because the decisions you make arnt effectedby anything like necessity, no hidden agenda- no winning path to take that will garuntee results. just pure decisions based on real human judgements, not experience. nothing to do with experience. experience is vastly overrated. |

drinking... to get drunk is like commiting temporary suicide.
It's like finally giving up on what (we think) reality is,
its experimentation as much as death is experimentation.
Although at the same time it isnt;
because we know its only a temporary state of body and mind-
or out of body and mind just as much as we know...
or think that death is a state of out of body,
and out of mind.
We just trust the laws that govern our body,
that govern our mind, that we are going to wake up back in reality. Everytime we succome to sleep we trust in something.
Its a matter of trust but who are we trusting? and why dont we trust death? sleep. sleep has always returned us safely back to life but itself has already proven that nothing in it can be trusted as it contains all of the dangers that we fear and have ever experienced......except for death...or perhaps especially death. oh i dont know. |

tee hee, this made me laugh-
"Alongside the way some attentive observers have been tirelessly pointing out
that the Open Season album is different from the Decline Of British Sea Power
album - much as the sweet peach is not the same as the astringent gooseberry -
there has been an ugly attitude to new faces on the Forum. For instance, Isla of
Thessaloniki might post a few words to say how much she enjoyed the BSP set at
the Rockwave festival outside Athens. There seems to be an increasing chance
that this will be met by a response along the lines of, “Unnnnngh, unnnnngh,
where was you when I was watching them do 21 nights in a row at Littlehampton
Pig & Powder Monkey?”
To this small minority, we say no, this is not the attitude. From concerts at
Carling Festival and the Chelsea Flower Show, to concerts with The Strokes and
The Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa, we would have hoped that there was the unspoken
understanding that the realm of British Sea Power is a smiling, all-comers’
jamwagon, not a land for the insular and ill-witted. "
A new album is going to be out before christmas! yaay! |

My time at Manor Hall is coming to an end. I'm going to dearly miss this community, the room, the hall, the rehearsals and productions, the skanky kitchen, the porters (entertainers first, porters second), the area of clifton, the wet floor signs, the warden and everyone who mills about around here. A house has been secured a little further away from the university, i havnt actually seen it yet but i'm relying on the fine judgement of my friends to have picked a good one. You guys all have to come up and visit, very dissapointed that nobody came up to manor hall. If anyone wants to spend some time in bristol you are all more than welcome. I will be living with a group of four other guys, heres the word on them, yo:
in order of appearance
1. Alex- My current room mate, into his riverside shakespeare, dresses colourfully, is a year older than me, has great musical and classical knowledge, very funny/wacky/zany but is also as deep as the atlantic ocean, has a pretty girlfriend also called al which can get confusing but they are very cute together. a people person very much, a ladies man even moreso. still, doesnt stop him being quite camp
2. Simon- Alex's friend originally, likes bjork, bowie and martina topley-bird and buys several cd's a week, speaks fluent spanish and reads books in french, very witty, clever and funny in an actual intelligent witty clever and funny way which is quite a contrast to me, plays piano, is easy to get on with /easy going, highly sophisticated and is *actually* gay so, er, no gay jokes next year, bummer.
3. Karl- Probably the guy i spend most of my time with here in bristol, hes half chinese- dont be racist! likes adam and jo, chris morris, kevin smith films and is a devout marxist. he studies politics and economics and is very knolwedgable in both subjects as well as every other subject of conversation known to man and its fun to watch him argue with people. hates the daily mail and anyone who reads it,says the word WOOF at highly innapropriate times, calls all girls hun which his girlfirend only just found out about and is probably, out of all my friends in bristol, the most like me.
4. Mike- I havnt spent much time with mike and only know him through karl but he seems like a great guy. im not sure what colour his hair is but i think its ginger. dont be racist! he has spent a lot of time watching sharpe and studies geology and biology. hes older and taller than me but thankfully is of similar maturity.
5. Me- the less said about me the better.
So its a colourful mix and should be a good year together, looking forward to it, first though-the summer!
no matter how miserable your mood is the sun cant not cheer you up, my hair is turning more sandy and weymouth calls for attention. need to get a job though. more importantly need to travel a bit.
tootles! |

I bought a pack of hearty jordans country crisp yesterday.
It was on offer at 2 for £2.
You know you are snapping up a great bargain when a breakfast box this cheap carries descriptions of rare wildfowl on the back of the packet.
Anyway, upon pouring out my morning portion, i stood aghast as at least twenty or thirty raisins flowed out amongst the nutritional cluster nuggets of englands finest oats.
That adds up to four or five raisins per spoonful, setting an example for all those who fear that the country is going to the dogs
-this truly is the age of plenty.
ps. please stand up by british sea power is at no.34 in the charts >_< please buy it, it only costs as much as a box of cerial and not only do you get a lovely video of the boys playing in a hut but you will also be treated to a ballad about a vicar who hunted a grey goose for 6 weeks. it will lift your spirits all summer long and, if it gets into the top ten, will make the country think again about letting ring tones onto the radio. |
