Eating contest

elk541 — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 09:49:53 +0000

I’ve seriously let myself go. I’ve got to have put on the weight I list during my three years of uni and its making me depressed.
I know it comes from socialising and being out a lot, but my body used to burn it off at work and at uni. I don’t know what I’ll do when I get back from holiday, but I hope I lose the weight from swimming and diet. I haven’t felt so terrible carrying this around for years.

I’m not going to eat much before I board the plane. I always feel full in my belly these days but know my brain is asking me to just continue my eating habits.

This has to stop. I want to be skinner than I am right now and than I was during my time at uni. Even if it means not eating unless I’m socialising.

I’ve adopted an area in Uxbridge that makes me feel comfortable. I think I don’t mind being here.

Zen Mosaiq

elk541 — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:38:19 +0000

I bought the Creative Zen Mosaic mp3 player last year based on the fact that it played video, had a larger capacity than my previous one, had FML radio and had a speaker. Turns out my model (the 8GB version) only has the video playback from this list, and the screen is so small it makes no difference.
I added an album from Blood Stain Child, and it told me I needed to erase some files for it to work. Time for an upgrade soon methinks!

Rain

elk541 — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:17:28 +0000

It’s raining so heavily outside my window. It’s absolutely amazing. I wish somebody would share my fascination of wanting to be outside during heavy rain. Protected by a see-through roof or umbrella. One day, eh…

Dead (lines)

That’s right kids! It’s deadline time, and that means days and days of stress. Goody!

I’m trying to keep my head up, and coming to my wordpress haven has actually cheered me up quite a bit; it’s been ages since I wrote on here.

I remember a time when this was like a shrine. I would be on here pouring out words which seem to make no sense (as I was very cryptic) and detailing what was making me happy, sad and also a bit of general insight to the world around.

Gets me thinking slightly though. What is it going to be like when I finish university. It’s been three years of my 21 years on this Earth, but it feels like my world: this world is changing!

I’m gutted slightly. Things are constantly changing, and although I love how things are right now, or just an hour ago, I can’t help but feel things will never be as good as they once were.

I miss talking to people until silly hours in the morning on msn almost every night; having deep and meaningful discussions mixed with stupid humour and innuendo (not all at once). Then there would be times of serious discussion surrounding our assignments and friendships blossoming into something you don’t understand.

I guess deadline time gets you thinking, and I really have been thinking. Things are different now, I wonder how different they will be a year from today?

I’m on msn, and facebook chat, but it’s not the same as it was before. This makes me sad and happy.

Time to get a grip on reality: things do not remain stable for long!

Amazing nightmare kid drawings!

This is an amazing find, linked to from here: buzzfeed.com

It takes those weird, and usually badly-drawn, images that kids do to get put on the fridge or to vent their creativity from an early age and makes them look scary as shit! This si the stuff of nightmares. Or at least of film scripts.

Seriously, being able to turn something so simple into something so beautifully scary is a real talent and could pave the way for a whole movie full of these bad boys.

Oh, the possibilities!

30 seconds to 30 seconds mars

elk541 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:29:15 +0000

Well, nor exactly thirty seconds. Several hours in actual fact, but going to a gig nonetheless.

Quite looking forward to it really, it’s actually a band I quite like in actual fact. Usually I end up going to see things I don’t really know, and those times I’m not as hyped, and the shows tend to not be as good as they were hyped.

30 seconds I know, though. At least their older stuff, so I can but hope they will play a lot of that.

Psyched. Let’s do this!

The Only Exception of Hayley’s

Apparently I cannot attach the new video from Paramore for “The Only Exception” (Brand New Eyes album), but can rather link to it. It has to be seen.

Not only does Hayley look cuter than ever, the video and song is as cute as you can get!

That lucky fella!
