Feeling a bit funny today, so trying to cheer myself up with The Smiths, a banana and a coffee whilst ploughing through some uni work. I can’t stop counting….

Woman like a man
I wanna get boned, I wanna get stoned, I wanna get a room like no-one else. I wanna be rich, I wanna be kitsch, I wanna be the bastard of myself. I wanna get burned, I wanna get turned, I wanna get fucked inside out. I wanna be ruled, I wanna be fooled, I wanna be a woman like a man.
Jeff Buckley and my Dad
He came to see me today (my Dad, not Jeff Buckley) and he introduced me to this song
Jeff Buckley – I Want Someone Badly
Click to listen on Spotify. After listening to Grace for so many years, I have never ever heard this song. It’s nice to hear something new.
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T USUALLY READ MY BLOG (and...
As part of my foundation degree in Arts Management, my course mates and I are given £800 and a venue for a whole weekend and are allowed to do whatever the hell we want with it! We’re assessed on how popular the event is, how smoothly it runs, how well our pre-planning goes, how well we market it etc etc.
Today, we FINALLY confirmed the theme of the event we’re going to put on in...
Monster, 1994
Wow, I was four years old. This is nostalgia for you. I remember ‘Bang and blame’ being my favourite at the time. Used to sing along to the chorus and love it.
This is craaazyyy vivid…
N.B; Just had a scroll back on Spotify and some of my favourite REM songs even date back to early 80s - nearly 10 years before I was born! I am forever grateful to my Dad for bringing me up on...
You know with love come strange currencies. And...
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath, just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real. These words, “you will be mine”, these words, “you will be mine”, all the time. These words - they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray, say, love’s confined.
I realised today that I assess how I’m feeling every, single second of the day. If I’m feeling happy, realising I feel happy makes me feel even happier and if I’m feeling sad, realising I feel sad makes me feel even sadder. Probably because I feel sorry for myself. Why do I have to be happy OR sad? Why can’t I just be in between?! Somewhere comfortable where I don’t...
I know I’ve been raving on about Tindersticks all day but I really wanted to use the Spotify sharing feature to put a track by them on here for you all to listen to. But apparently it doesn’t work…
So instead you’re going to have to trust my judgement and go and look it up for yourselves. I know a few of you who read this will definitely like this - one person in...
No silence
I don’t seem to be listening to much else than Tim Buckley, Tindersticks and Nick Drake at the moment. I started to listen to all three whilst I was still at home in Taunton but their music is easy listening and with the hefty work load at uni, they’re good to listen to whilst ploughing my way through a 3000 word essay or putting together a presentation. If anyone is interested in...
Kris, Chris, Lucy, Lucy, Gina and someone else
Went to the Ustinov to see a Theatre Lab performance last night which was veerrrry good. Chris was so cynical about it though and kept fidgeting next to me. I think the bit he enjoyed the most (which I was very keen on as well) is sitting at the Ustinov bar for 2 hours after the performance ordering whiskey after whiskey after red wine after G&T and chatting to two very lovely bar men.
Had a...
these moments are the best :) when i don’t miss it any more and i only have good things to look forward to and i feel positive and loved and everything around me is gold, not black.
I just heard t.A.T.u’s cover of ‘How Soon Is Now’ by The Smiths.
It made me want to vom.
Megan: I don't know why I chose to do A-level textiles... I hadn't done any sowing since year 9 before then! And at A-level I was made to make things like corsets and dresses. The only thing I made when I did textiles in year 9 was a pocket, so it felt like a bit of a leap.
Me: ... You made a pocket?
Megan: Yeah! It was great.
Me: So basically you just made... a hole?
Megan: Well... yeah.
Taunton
I’ve now left Taunton and come back to Bath to start the Spring term. I am very happy to be here and my life has been enriched for all the lovely people I’ve met and how comfortable my house is.
But I can’t help but miss my rubbishy, closed-minded little home town every. single. day.
I wish it wasn’t but home is definitely where the heart is.
Finally going back to Bath tomorrow
There is a lot I’m going to miss but the worst bit by far is having to leave my Dad.
First dance? (... that's so cheesy of me)
If I could make a wish, I think I’d pass. Can’t think of anything I need. No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read. Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and tired. What more could I ask? There’s nothing left to be desired. Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak, so sleep, silent angel, go to sleep. Sometimes, all I need is the air...
I really like it when people ask me ‘so what are you listening to at the moment then?’
My Dad often does it and Rob also asked me this on the phone last night.
That is all :)
uni uni uni uni
i have to write two 3000 word essays and do a presentation at uni in the next couple of weeks and they are ALL on colston hall.
colston hall colston hall colston hall
i have only done 500 words of my first essay and already i have colston hall coming out of my ears.
P.S I want the top of the guy third from the left in the photo below.
Muslims, Mosque, Church, Religion, Racism, Tax,...
… Are my most used words of the last few days. These uneducated, confused racists keep coming back with utterly ridiculous ideas about our taxes paying for a new mosque in Taunton, how there’d be more violence in Taunton if more Muslims came to the area and how “we wouldn’t be allowed to build a church in Dubai so why should they build a mosque here????”. ...
Saw this group on Facebook the other day...
“no to the taunton y.m.c.a being knocked down to build a giant mosque”
And then I checked the group description and written, is as follows…
“The taunton council think its a good idea to spend tax payers money to demolish the taunton Y.M.C.A and build a GIANT mosque . i for 1 train there and for 2 am a proud christian and wont stand for it”
Don’t some people...
“P.S Just to let you know, your Mum couldn’t have been more wrong yesterday...”
– Text message from Steve this morning - it really made me smile :)
Tomorrow I’m meant to be going back to Bath for the start of the Spring term. I am both happy AND sad about this….
I’m looking forward to A DECENT INTERNET CONNECTION for the first time in 4 weeks!! And I’m looking forward to seeing my beautiful house mates (especially Tim and his lovely company - I’ve secretly missed him walking into my room at random intervals and...

tuesday evening
my puppy has decided to place his head on my keyboard so it is taking me a loonggggggg time to type this - i’m having to move his ear around for every new letter on the left hand side of my keyboard that i want to type.
had a very snowy, slow walk back from my dad’s earlier - everything is beautiful and white and unspoilt because no one has stepped on it yet. and now i’m sat in...
I AM SO BORED OF ALL THESE PRETENTIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS!!! Where is the passion, the feeling, the interest, the story, the music, the WORDS? WHERE ARE THE WORDS?? Where are the people my age who actually KNOW SOMETHING about ANYTHING? These photos mean nothing to you! If I see another fucking photo of a pair of shoes or a model or a necklace or a meaningless quote about “love” I am going to...
i am fucking freezing :(
