Good luck to everyone taking part in the London march today. I will be dabbling my new hobby of watching BBC Parliament & getting very shouty as if I'm actually in Parliament...

My friend Sophie gave me this shirt after she got it in a charity shop for £2 or something, saying it suited me more because it was too big, too short & it fitted my "turbulent love life", gee thanks. It's pretty awesome & lovingly 80s though so I'm pretty stoked all the same.

Also is is officially Christmas in my eyes, bought a tree today that my mum insists we have to acclimatise to our house (even though it's as cold as outside anyway) before decorating & taking away all the fun. But more importantly I'm wearing my reindeer necklace & this t-shirt/dress is my first present.

Woo!

So I found this written in my college book that me & my friend Jesus apparently wrote the other night... Strange how even when unsober I am still political, it's so ingrained, scary. It actually makes a lot of sense though, maybe more policies should be made of the back of some Jack Daniels.

My English class thought I should send it to him & I quite like that it's written in fat marker pen, like I'm a maniac or something. Also using the Streets to justify drug laws might not go down too well, but how awesome would that be? I think the Arctic Monkeys, "Assuming that all things are equal, who'd want to be men of the people? When there's people like you." Could be used with step 2 & just generally as a mantra. Also I prefer Murdoch-ites to Daily Mail readers. It refocuses the enemy which is always good. Shall I send it?

Feeling political again as it's the vote tomorrow & there's another march later on. My friend voted Lib Dem & so he's been going on every single protest he can, to try & ease his conscience, but every time he rings me to ask where I am. As if he's superior because he's there with all the dicks who are there because of what happened in London, looking for something to do. I'm not saying that's the majority of the people. I'm just saying that I am as angry, if not angrier than most of the people on the marches but 2 in 2 weeks is too much. I cannot miss anymore physics lessons, I'm sorry. But this is at a reasonable time & it makes sense to leave something in those lying Lib Dem minds as they decide the majority of the populations educated future.

The final note on my rant is how they can even think about changing after they made the pledge. If you said something in an interview that got you the job, like that you were Catholic to become a Priest (bad example, I know) but then you admitted that you didn't actually believe in it like you said you did & you thought your congregation were dicks, wouldn't you have to stop being a Priest? How can you justify saying something to get elected & then using "we didn't think we'd get into power" or "we didn't know how bad it was" as an excuse, because that was when got you into power, as a politician you should have principles or you're just proving everyone right. It's ridiculous. We didn't vote for the government we have & those who did, it seems were lied to on the grounds my which they were voting.

Democracy?

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag



I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane



And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is



Going through my own course of therapy at the moment with this song & Bright Eyes on repeat for support.

Thought I'd share this through the medium of lyrics & this lovely Japanese jumper. Almost sold it but it called to me from the sell-on-Ebay-pile & now I'm trying to plan outfits based around exposing a bit of skin above my belly button & below my rip/boob area after seeing this photo of Leighton Meester. In this I can do it if I put my hands in the air...

Not the best look

Trying to delete images off my laptop & tidy up. So expect a fair few photo posts over the next week or so. Beginning with, what I found, was a surprising amount of Chloe Sevigny photographs. How amazing is this chick? Even her films are good, however much everyone hated Brown Bunny I thought it was beautifully tragic & that scene was necessary. She also looks weirdly like one of my closest friends, Eve in those 3rd photos...

"I think I'm pretty schooled as far as the designers go, but I don't study fashion. I don't think it's worth studying... Fashion is just there."

"You get older and stop being such an idealist snob."

"I like to think I'm designing for the alternative girl everywhere. I was just in Shreveport, Louisiana, and I met a group of girls that dressed really cool, and they were just into an alternative sort of lifestyle, and music, and fashion and things, and I think you can find those kids everywhere. It's the kids that are seeking something different from the norm."

So quotable.

Let's get the blogs aesthetic appeal back up after that horrific photo below.

& to my new - I know, I know, I'm late on the bandwagon - obsession with Nicki Minaj. Too easy to dismiss her as a black Lady Gaga, her songs are better than that. She's been outshining radio hip hop stars in featuring roles and on the 22nd November, or Pink Friday, her new album finally came out & it's been on repeat on my Spotify since. It's so good I might actually buy an album for the first time in a few months.

Here's Roman's Revenge feat. Eminem because I'm feeling like a Dungeon Dragon & her English accent is hilarious.

Illness + snow + vintage headscarf = excuse to catch up on my work.

I'm a geek.
