Good bye 2009
This has been a good year.
I see posts on tumblr and/ or Facebook from people wishing it would end quicker and that next year will be better and how bad their year was etc. But I don’t share any of those sentimments, to me 2009 was a good year, very possibley the best year I’ve ever had.
I won’t bore you all with a cheesy reel of highlights, largely because I can’t...
“I’m worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to...”

Ho ho ho
So yeah, just realized I never actually posted about christmas.
Well the meat feast was epic, but I’m definately gonna start telling people what I want. Everyone knows I am the least fashionable person in existance and damned proud of it, so what to get me for christmas? Why, some new fasionable clothes and at least 4 bottles of various skin care products I don’t understand of course!...
“You will be surprised by my Arse-strength. I’ll break your cock.”

Hmm...
Nick’s article has made me re-read that. yeah, ididn’t notice that was Zoo, eyes kinda glazed over at that, whoops…
I stand by my point. Not enough tall people!
Love you too buddy. ;)
Watch
So, Avatar then.
It’s a sci-fi/ Fantasy fans dream…
It’s like if David Attenburgh’s “Life” got mashed with Lord of the Rings… And a certain disney film that will not be named as it will spoil it for those who haven’t seen it yet.
However, it is identical to that disney film. Only in space. And with a blue man as the protaganist. And death. Therefore, it improves on...
S'OK now
Hopefully…
Thanks to those who expressed concern.
Sorry everyone...
Something really serious has happened… I don’t wanna say in case I jinx it.
If I’m not in Uni the next couple days, it’s for family stuff. Essay may not get finished, I may need to apply for an extension or something…
Just lettin’ y’all know that now…
By the way, I’m fine. Just… very seriously distracted…
“One Day” said Teddy Lloyd as he stacked up his sketches before taking...”

Out of context quote of the day!
I have done something stupid.
Prejudice, my achilles heel…
SQUEEE!
Last week I applied to become one of the ISV, or international student volunteers, so working abroad for a month in the summer. Despite assurances I wouldn’t hear anything for two weeks, today I got the letter of acceptance from them! Fully wasn’t expecting that… They musta been running low on options…
Now to raise a ridiculous amount of money. Anyone wanna help with...
What do we really do in Fencing?
Derek: I know how we can prove she's a lesbian. Margaret, do you find me attractive?
Margaret: ...I'm not answering that
Derek: There. Lesbian.
Porter: Wait, really? What would a straight answer be?
Derek: It would be "Yes! Take me now- you stallion!"
Well, it's this or try to kill one another, realistically.
Fully love that woman
Yer wumman who makes the Subs in the SU had started to notice that I come there every day, and has started only charging me for a ham and swiss sub.
A Ham and Swiss is the cheapest thing on the menu. I do not get the Ham and Swiss. I get something £1.50 dearer. Result!
At first I thought it was a mistake, but 2 weeks in, It seems to be on purpose. Nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me.
Economic advice
Save your pennies. I’ve been putting eery non pound coin I have into my Piggy bank for the last month and the result when I counted today was nearly £40! How surprising. Definately keeping that up.
I have a ridiculously easy time at Uni...
I genuinely feel ashamed that i have two exams in January, one on the 12th and the other on the 14th, so that I am finished in time for my Brithday, which was a great fear of mine.
Serious shame though. Means I spend half of January not doing anthing and two days off a week ‘til then. Most would say that’s a result, but to be that lucky guy is to be jeered and booed even if you work...
I ain't said anything in a while.
This is because my life is dull.
So, new follower, to avoid disappointment, please lower your expectations.
Worst return home ever...
I come home to find Alex (Who was meant to be in tech) who informs me he was playing Oblivion (The game I told him never to play) and he RED RINGED my Xbox360. As some of you may remember, I had a turbulent summer getting that Xbox, and if he’s red ringed it I may just have to kill him…
Parents are away, and I tell you I may just kill him before tomorrow… I can’t even...
So... the Crow eh?
So this is where the common perception of Metal came from… also every metal music video since.
Oddly though… not a bad movie… in a mindless fun kinda way.
Run away! →
Aww...
Thanks to the guys who read my ridiculous comics post. I honestly didn’t think anyone would read it.
Matt, you are right to point out the flaws in my argument, it’s just I don’t like it when things get TOO crazy, I’d rather they just kept some constants, like origins and setting. I know Bruce Wayne is dead, but I still reckon he’ll be back soon enough since he was...

The state of comic books today
As y’all know, I love comic books, ain’t no question bout that, I love the fantastic elements, how anything can happen and how interesting characters and impossible situations can arise. But unfortunately as an appreciator of literature I gotta hate the way some things are done. I’m gonna lists ome of these stupid things below. No one needs to care by the way, feel free to skip...
