Your Passion is Pink |
Innocent and naive, you approach sex with a virginal mindset.
You tend to enjoy teasing and flaunting much more than actual sex.
You're a notorious flirt, and you can pick up anyone you desire.
As a result, your reputation is a lot steamier than your real sex life. |

Why does everything I search for in Limewire bring up nasty porn. Who would have thought searching for 'Femme Fatale', 'She is Suffering' and 'Of Walking Abortion' could cause such problems! I miss many things at the moment. |

My neighbor Will has got me out of bed by pouring a box polystyrene over my bed... So I am up and feeling aggravated. He also ran around naked and scared some freshers. |

Well, the film festival is going pretty well. I should probably give a run down of what I've been doing, to
see if I remember. The opening film (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419256/) was truly brilliant. T'was brilliantly acted and had beautiful shots of the Swaziland countryside. Also at the premier I got to see Richard E Grant (who will always be Withnail for me). On a similar note, George A Romero walk past me and was exactly what I expected. I've seen various other films, including a memorable French police corruption thriller and a very long & depressing Hungarian film about the holocaust. Generally its been a lot of fun, as everyone there is very polite and friendly. Although they are also trendy and 23, as before. Although sadly the opening party was shit. Full of media types and I only got one free beer. Also e are a couple of nice Swedish girls, which is a strange coincidence.
Anyway, I have been doing other things outwith the film festival. Met up with Jo and went on a mini-pub crawl of our favorite places to drink. Was a very good night, where we discussed the strange enigmas that are St Andrews and maths students. Was a surprisngly fun night a surprisingly fun night. Also went to see In Totalitaria (a friends play), which was as I expected. Having met the guy and argued with him about the subjects discussed in the play, I guessed pretty much how the play would go. It was well scripted and excellently acted and it was good to see all the hard work that Laura had put in finally pay off. My cousin was up to stay, which meant I had to keep him entertained. He has some rather... naive views about certain aspects of life. To put it mildly. Oh, and I met up with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) psitticus today for a pint and a cigar (his idea!). That was good, as I hadn't seen him for far too long. |

..Its a vicious circle. Whenever I do something worth writing on Livejournal, I can never be bothered enough to write an entry. Hopefully, with this journal entry I will reignite my passion for the site. Or not.
This is a really stupid time to update as I have to get up 8am tomorrow for a film festival volunteers induction session (or something equally pretentious sounding). If anyone ever wondered what the '23 year old' thing actually referred to in my interests, it is this event. For the past couple of years I have hung around with the superbly confident, outgoing and incredibly nice people who make up my fellow volunteers. Needless to say, I always felt completely out of place. Last year it ended amusingly when a Swedish girl I was working with started to drunkenly dissect my precarious personality. God, that was a fun night.
I should alsoprobably also try and write about what I am doing... For the entire of August, I catalogued clay pipes. It paid well and I avoided work for most of the time. I met up with Blincow a few times. This involved trips to Glasgow to see Batman Forever and The Wickerman. I've spent far too much in The Brass Monkey, staring at film posters. Generally this summer has been excellent. Also, Kathryn was in town a couple of weeks ago. That was at an times enjoyable, but ultimately a very strange experience. I have generally tried to be vaguely sociable. And will perhaps try to write down all my memories of the summer another time, in a format that won't be quite so boring. I hope that this film festival will stop me from spending the extremely stupid amount of time on MSN. Not that I havn't greatly enjoyed whirling time away, talking to you wonderful people. |

R.E.M - Pop Song 89
Hello, I saw you, I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello I’m sorry, I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather? (hi...hi, hi)
Should we talk about the government? (hi...hi, hi, hi)
Hello, how are you? I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello, I’m sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather? (hi...hi, hi)
Should we talk about the government? (hi...hi, hi, hi)
Hello my friend, are you visible today?
You know I never knew that it could be so strange...strange
Hello, I’m sorry, I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
These self-knowingly ironic lyrics by from what is regarded as their sellout album, seemed appropriate. The whole situation will be explained in a later post... As I don't even know what is going on at the moment. All I know for sure, is that listening to 'Shiny Happy People' 5 times in a row (wearing headphones on max volume) has interesting effects... |

Well, its been a while... Home life is actually better than I anticipated. The holiday started with me putting up Katie for a couple of days. I felt rather bad as my efforts to be entertaining, where somewhat tempered by my lethargy. They amounted to a drink before going to see that dreadful Star Wars film, with its hilariously wooden dialog. After accompanying her to the bus stop at 1.30am, which was wonderfully situated in the bottom of Lothian Road (Scotland's most dangerous street apparently), I said my goodbyes to her. After a couple of days sleeping, I went to see Downfall with Jo. The whole thing felt like a Nazi version of the West Wing, although perhaps noticeable of all was the marked similarities between the actors and the Nazi's they portrayed. I've also been seeing my mate Phil a fair bit. We had a strange reunion when he stumbled through my door (after a few incoherent phone calls) at 2am. Various wonderings and computer games sessions have followed. Also met up with saint_andrew_, hearthammer, his girlfriend Claris and nerdinelthenerd, psitticus, Johhny T and liz_of_swords at about 3 times, mainly centering around The Brass Monkey. Although Sunday did entail a trip to Opium where I rediscovered the joys of buying pints for £1 combined with listening to decent music. Also, I have spent a significant amount of time speaking to a girl from university named Kathryn, on MSN. But Livejournal is not the place to discuss these things. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the summer, and I encourage people to embrace the sublime addiction that is MSN... |

Well its finally here, the end of 2nd year. My sleep deprivation seems to have finally come to a head and has struck me down. After being woken up at the ungodly hour of 8am I assembled my stuff, said my farewells to a pretty random selection of people who I happened to see and went to help Katie with her stuff. I had the pleasure of escorting her and helping her with her seven bags (including two 100 pound ones) to my house were she is currently staying. I am feeling rather guilty about not being able to provide any entertainment, save the Star Trek reruns of Sky One and my occasional groans. I shall probably end up sleeping for 15 hours. After this, I should probably restart my social life. Hmmm...
Since I last updated I have mainly in the process of settling my affairs in St Andrews. At the moment I'm just really glad university is over to be honest. A rather unpleasant incident involving library books and the general stress of moving out seems to have taken its toll slightly. Thus I have been attending a wide range of parties. This included one in John Burnet where Jo seemed to bizarrely introduce me constantly to about 10 people I'd met plenty of times before. Nethertheless it was good to have a moment to say goodbye to that people, and also hear various live Led Zeppelin tracks played loudly in a good drunken state. Then came the party at ennairam et al's house. A rather interesting crowd turned up, including various members of my academic family I had only recently properly met. It was dey initely a good party, even if I did drink myself 'to oblivion and beyond'. In the days after, I mostly spent my time saying goodbye to my 4th year friends. I seem to know many more than last year, it fills me sadness that I will no longer be able to see these people. However, it is the summer and the sun has just come out. I am at home in my comfortable bed, and have just heard the theme tune to Buffy on the TV. Life is good...

I think I actually passed my exam. Which is good. Although I did the ultimate sin of answering a question that I was unsure about. In the evening I kept Will company as he organised a barbeque in which three other people turned up. We then took the said barbeque to the Castle. Where the conversation was greatly enlivened by someone putting on 9 Smiths Songs on the jukebox!!! |
