Emotional awareness of a carpet.

So basically my head is all trapped in this mega blob of revision, Ben & Jerry's and weather. FAR TOO MUCH WEATHER. I don't like weather, as in, I don't like any weather, I just want nothing all the time, a clear sky and not too hot & not too cold is PLENTY of weather for me. I don't feel the need to get myself 'in' the sun, my Dad has been drilling this weird compulsion for in-sun-ness since forever. I just don't wanna be in it, I want to sit in my room, feel it's warm rays and continue what I'm doing, unless I'm forced to go in to it due to peer pressure/uni/food/vitamin D deficiency. Saying all this (and consequently sounding like a moody old git), I did go for a picnic with Hannah and Marc, it was looveellyy :). Sat on our Ikea fabric thing (let's not lie, it doesn't deserve the titles of 'throw', it's not nice enough) cutting up a roast chicken in Jephson Gardens however, looked kinda weird...


Anyway, enough fun related crap. Recently I've been having more mood-swings than the British weather, yet I still seem to have the emotional awareness of carpet, very sorry. This does not bid well. 
Here are my diverse array of faces at this moment in time.


(I have drawn myself in some kind of monk-robe, obviously.)

So yes, they are currently my two emotions. There is no in between, it's a dangerous life (not for me, but for everyone who has to see me on a regular basis, I'd stay away from me, but people aren't allowed to stay away, as I'd quite obviously die without their attention and love). In a way to fight off these flip-sides of emotion I have turned to the one thing that I love and makes everything better, the one thing I can rely on, for hope, joy, love and loss....and a nice dose of "oh for fuck sake". Peep Show. When see-sawing between these two ridiculous emotions Peep Show gives a good balance of WAHOOO then OH FUCKING HELL. (I just remembered that Mitchell and Webb did those Apple ads, that feels like ages ago)


Oh and for those of you that didn't know, I am on a weird try-all-of-them-despite-some-looking-grim Innocent Smoothie kick. So far I have obliterated the following. 
kiwis, apples & limes (also YUM)
cranberries, blueberries & cherries  (so. bloomin. strong)
I have just bought pineapples, bananas & coconuts and it genuinely looks like it's going to be horrible. We shall see when I have it tomorrow morning. For this smoothie the logic is very much "take couple ov fings from a place dat iz well hot, like propa forrin hot, an add bananas, coz we alwayz add bananas". We'll see...

Also, episode 2 of Junior Apprentice, YES PLEASE. Adam, your charm was crushed by your incessant MUMBLING. Jeeeez. Zoe was an air hostess :\. Tim was gooood (I'm acknowledging my pervness, feel free to acknowledge with me). Still don't care about anyone really, they're all comical in their own ways. Rhys is hilarious, just his face, it's so brilliantly expressive. 

Pralines are why I exist.

Quickie.

I woke up and I feel all happy and such. It's quite nice. I'm going to battle through lots of reading today and revise (/learn for the first time) all this joyous sociology. I'm glad my degree is interesting. I don't really want to revise, obviously, I'm in the kind of mood where I want to stroll about and dance around my room to all the pop-punk music in my iTunes.

I had a lovely day packed with some Hannah yesterday. It was nice :). We ended the day going for curry in Five Rivers, if you live in Leam you have to go. It's the best curry I've ever had, ever. Smoothies, sweets and a sit down in Jephson Gardens <3



Leamington Spa is ever so pretty :)

London.








Such a fun place.

Venturing around Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, The National Portrait Gallery, drinks in Cafe Nero by Leicester Square, dinner in Covent Garden, walk down the South Bank and past the London eye and the Houses of Parliament. 
Camden in the morning, crepes, brownies and cute book shops, St Paul's Cathedral, The Apprentice on the Millennium Bridge, Oxford Street and passing Wembley Stadium :)

*hmph*

Okay so we have no government, and to quote Jo Brand on 'Have I got Election News for you', "We're the envy of every country in the world." Brilliant.

For those of you that haven't seen it, and apologies to those of you that have, this video is brilliant.
George Osborne saying "yah" combined with the picture of him is just pure brilliance.
(Html isn't allowing me to make this video smaller, why are you defying me html!?!)



On a none-politics note, (COS EVERYONE IS SICK OF IT), Radio 1's big weekend looks pretty good. Didn't get tickets, obbvv. Couldn't go anyway now I'm all employed and that. Shame. I just want Greg James though, just want him a lot.

I fancy him so much.

I bought my tickets and my Eurostar to go to Paris on August bank holiday weekend as I'm going to Rock en Seine (it's a music festival) with Meg, Hannah and Susan <3. So excited. It'll be awessommee. Have a gander >> http://www.rockenseine.com/en/. The train there and the tickets have all come to a price under £200 *sniggers at the price everyone pays for Leeds*.


I need to learn to just put them in the recycling. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Good day to you all.
