There's this girl trying to call me and I'm not answering the phone on purpose because I really don't want to talk to her right now. And there's no reason whatsoever for me to be this way. She's never been anything other than nice to me, afterall.

I can be such a fucktard at times...

*then again, who am I kidding? I simply love that caller identification thingy on the phone...*

Oh well. I've done that quite a few times myself. Sometimes you're just not in the mood for someone, no matter how nice they are.

I'm a thousand words short on a three thousand word essay... Yeah, I'm going to get penalised so badly for that. As if my poor footnoting, minimal bibliography and rushed (and thus mostly missing) sourcework weren't bad enough.
Ah well. Done with now.

Was that the one about the United States and how the democracy really isn't a democracy?

Yep.
Through use of Jello Biafra, I concluded that it was, though did make sure to draw the point that it wasn't a very good one because it wasn't fully representative and didn't use any kind of coalition govt to make sure all views were shown, and the ballots had been fixed at the last two elections, and it had a political elite formed of political families, big business and Ivy League colleges which discouraged others from entering politics.

But the bells and whistles were done poorly, and so it all comes crashing down =[

The essay that is.

Yepyep...
Didn't elaborate on the Jello Biafra factor, didn't give enough time to the concerns voiced over the political illiteracy of the American public as a whole....

Now this is cool.

Just took a look at some of the pictures on the Diary of Dreams website. I think their photo shoot for Panik Manifesto is just brilliant.
It's basically a series of photos of lead vocalist Adrian Hates laid out on a slab in a morgue, being examined by a coroner.

Very nice.

Oh I've seen those - the fourth one on 'Freak Perfume' - where he's sitting next to the basin kinda does something to me.

Yeah.
It's kinda strange. Their photo shoot for "Nigredo" looks seriously 'normal' compared to all the others.

Oh, and the cover of Nekrolog 43 just creeps me out.

Oh? I find it pretty cool - in a weird way. The eye facinates me.

I have contact lens now. But mother, wonderful woman that she is, told the optician not to bother giving me the storage fluid and case as I probably had some of my own lying around.
I have a spare bottle of lens fluid. No case, but need somewhere to store my 30day lenses.
But at least I have them now! So, now to get sunglasses and other such eye coverings. Lennon circle-lens ones, in dark red, black, and dark green. Possibly a set of big aviators, not sure. And welding goggles, of course.

I am going forth....to Slimming club >.< I am not clapping. I refuse to clap. It isn't nursery and I will not do it. I will take your books and plan, and I will stand on the scales in all my 17 stone shame, but goddamnit I WILL NOT CLAP.

You have to all clap when people have lost weight, I think they have deluded themselves into thinking this boosts self esteem. It doesn't. It makes people embarrassed and sheepish.

Go somewhere else if they're doing that. Somewhere which respects the basic dignity of its members instead of treating you like seals/ recalcitrant five year olds.

Can't, the nearest one is 2 miles away. I'd never get there in time. This one is five minutes round the corner at my old Primary school.
