One of my favourite Zep songs:

Filth by Irvine Welsh, which I'm enjoying so far. Also, The Sociology of Health and Illness for college, which I'm not enjoying quite so much.

I've been listening to a Scottish band called Mogwai a lot recently. Their latest album (released this year) is probably my least favourite of theirs, but it's still very good.

Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out

That's sad, Charles, but can I just say that for some people there is no ''upside'' to life or living. I don't suppose that's a very easy thing to understand if you're someone who feels generally okay, or happy, even. If you are able to find a reason to keep going then you should feel lucky and grateful, but not everyone is the same.

My iPod's broken, and I can't find the receipt to prove I only bought it eight months ago and so should come under the guarantee. Great.

Misfits re-runs, remembering how much I loved Simon (Iwan Rheon) the first time I watched it. Anyway, don't expect anyone here to know what I'm on about.

The Smiths - Pretty Girls Make Graves. Good song.

Lipslikecherries (it won't let me quote you for some reason), I'm also sorry for your loss. And though having a stranger tell you that is probably is little comfort, I do mean it. I can only hope your friend and colleague finds peace now.

Trying to book train tickets to get away next weekend, though it's frustrating me so much that I may just give up.

^^ People do look better naturally, exactly. I suppose it's just another example of women feeling pressurized to look a certain way.

I don't understand why so many girls/women want a tan all the time. Where I live, you don't have a natural tan unless you've been abroad, and yet if you go out in the summer it seems everyone has brown (or worse, orange) skin. It's not natural, not here, and I don't think it really makes you any more attractive. But that's clearly just me, as I appear to be one of very few young women who has white skin all year around.

I've drunk Zeppelin Cider, and don't consider myself a ''sad bastard''. You shouldn't put yourself down, pph

Mad. One day boiling hot and the next pouring down with rain. I wish it'd make its mind up.
