Locked Out of Heaven

Many things in my head. These thoughts will come out jumbled and bizarre, but maybe that makes them more interesting.

I've been listening to lots of random new things, like Bastille and Tom Odell, and I want lots of albums of people like Ben Howard.

My current favourite song is below. Its like sex in a song. They covered it on Glee - and even they made it come out sexy. Grunting girls is always sexy.

I want to start drinking coffee. As I type this, I've just finished my first cup of percolated caffeinated sugary goodness. (I will enjoy the taste one day!) I want to be one of those people who drinks something even if they don't like it. I don't know why. I force red bull on myself and now I love it, so this is going to work. It doesn't work with men (as much as Jasmine wishes it did, as she's mentally match-making me with everyone she knows).

I enjoyed being at uni today. I felt a bit like a student for once.

Walking home the other day I saw a bunch of kids sitting in the pub, all drinking coke, and I missed the fat cat, and uni. I missed the boys, our group, just going to the pub at lunch time, eating shit loads, chatting crap and not getting anything done but its fine - we were socialising. I'm really looking forward to seeing those friendly faces this weekend. (On that note, I also realised that the last time we were all together as a group was when uni finished, almost two years ago. Even graduation, Coates wasn't there.)

I've made an 'ideas wall' so I can shove any notes, pictures, articles, ANYTHING relating to Dali up there to help my dissertation. Plus any other ideas.

I've become re-obsessed with McFly. This is what happens when I'm alone too long - I find men to love one way or another. Read their book over christmas - actually surprising at times. Not the average story of teenage boys shooting to fame. Also like to watch Tom's Wedding Speech on YouTube on a regular basis just to have a wee blub at how incredibly cute it is. And I'm weirdly excited for their next album, due this spring I think. If only I had a friend as sad as me to go see them with...

Have been spending lots of time with the Howarths. Charlie is so cute, and every time I see him it reinforces my hope of having children one day. He calls me Dora (he also called a log 'dog' - thinking he has problems with 'l's).

Watching lots of Angel. Its so good. Why didn't I watch it when it came out?

I'm trying to make efforts to enjoy university - enjoy learning, enjoy the atmosphere. I'm becoming more confident with my classmates, which is a plus. I still get paranoid and fear that they think I'm a giant douche. But hey.

I don't have any money at the moment. Yet I bought jasmine dinner last night. And I bought Marc a bacon and cheese turnover today. 'Cos I'm a sucker for needy people - show me a hungover student and I open my bag of medicines, water and oranges. (Or just one orange).

I'm really glad that the snow has gone.

I'm thinking about my birthday. I can see the end of January, so am planning what happens 53 after that.

Set up my PlayStation yesterday and played some Tekken. Got PlayStation thumb. Still, I completed arcade in 'hard' (with Jin, of course). Tonight I may treat myself to FF8.

Shit, I still have Carlo's FF7 game. Oops.

Watching far too much comedy. HIMYM, BBT, New Girl, Girls, 2 Broke Girls... (lots of girls).

Want to get back into exercising, but I just can't get myself to the gym. Going to ask Mum for a treadmill for my birthday. And some new clothes.

I'm SO EXCITED about Sam coming home at Easter. I don't know how long she'll be back for, but it coincides with my birthday which is EXCELLENT and GOD I can't wait to see her. I'm definitely getting the first round of drinks in!

And... I'm done.
