I really need to learn how to use eBay. My life is so cluttered! Saying this, I don't know what I want to part with, eeek. I'll schedule a clear-out for next week...
I dyed my hair red-orange, probably something to do with Brand New Eyes being so good. Maybe if you play 'Decode' backwards it's got some sort of message in it. Now I want it all cutting because it's so thin and GROSS, some sort of flapper girl look, however a haircut will cost nearly my entire week's expenditure. I miss living with a hairdresser!

Hello autumn, hello change.
No more Lush, lots more uni (in theory). Actually this will probably mean staying in bed until midday everyday then doing minimal work and snacking.
Why oh why must H&M have such a beautiful AW10 range when I'm bankrupt?! So many sequined, circus-looking gems! Sigh. On the plus, I'm having some life-experience- I've never been broke before so this can be a learning curve... Good-job it's nearly Christmas (in the world of retail and my mother).
I'm trying to make some sort of post-graduation decisions, there's so much more learning I want/need to do, as well as making accommodation choices! I think I want to leave Leeds for a bit, but I also think I'll miss her! And I really need a puppy, like now!

Oh woe is me. I'm beginning to feel ill, not anything big, just that annoying non-specific run-down feeling one gets every now and then. Usually cured by a good bath, lots of tea and fourteen hours of sleep. I tried for a good bath, and failed horribly (not enough hot water), had a cup of tea (which wasn't anywhere near big enough) and I don't have any Nytol so fourteen hours sleep is not going to happen. I've written off this evening as far as good, productive behaviour is concerned. I'm resigned to getting into my third Ian McEwan novel (Amsterdam) and munching on the Galaxy that Joe foolishly left here. I know dairy is a horrible sin if you're suffering from mucus-related discomfort (I won't be too pathetic and call it 'illness'), but I'm working on Jeremy Osborne's mantra- "if it feels good, do it."

I don't mind the weather
I've got scarves, and caps, and sweaters
Lovely snow! The snow so far has made everything seem extra special. I went for lunch with Lucy and Alice yesterday and the walk there was so beautiful. I took lots of photos of Hyde Park and wore my wellingtons. This morning on my way into university I saw a lion made of snow, that was really amazing, real commitment. Everyone was stopping to take photos and laugh with each other which sort of balances out the it's-okay-to-throw-snow-at-strangers feel of snow days.
Twenty facts
1. I love Marks & Spencer, when I'm old I'm going to buy everything from there
2. I'm only 20 but my mother says I'm more like a 40 year old, uh oh
3. I'm really obsessive (but not the least bit compulsive), and go through phases. Right now I'm mostly thinking about fruit tea and WWII
4. I'm not the kind of person to have lots of friends, rather just a few really close ones
5. I love idea of being someone's mother (in the way that when you're an adult you lovingly remember a perfume your mother wore, and other little things about her), but the idea of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood makes me feel sick
6. I love bird-watching, and I get a little bit excited when I see an unusual bird. I don't know breeds/types though, I'm not that sad
7. I study History but I think I might have been better studying Literature
8. I wish I spoke better French, I love France
9. I love antique furniture and jewellery and second-hand books, it's nice to think that someone has loved something before you did, and will do after you've done with it
10. Wearing red lipstick everyday makes me feel glamourous even when I look rough
11. Once I pulled a girl who couldn't swim out of a pool, I've since convinced myself that I saved her from drowning, I don't think that's strictly true but it makes for a heroic story
12. I 'nest' everywhere I go, this means spreading out my things and making a comfortable mess
13. I'm not superstitious but my first instinct with 13 is that this is an unlucky one
14. I like walking everywhere, when I was a kid my parents dragged me on country walks and I hated it, I'd love to do it now
15. I love animals, I can't wait to have my own dog
16. I did average at school, badly at college, but now I'm at a university that expects very little and I'm doing really well
17. I'd call Leeds my home over the place I lived for 13 years with my parents
18. Photobooth is the best thing on my laptop, Dictionary is the second best
19. I wish I did more actual writing, I used to and it wasn't bad
20. I was going to do twenty-five but I don't know enough about myself

Head Automatica - Graduation Day |

Hello internet
I've developed a conviction that most people would be interested in my life, I think I might be wrong but this is a reasonably good way of finding out. If nothing else I'll probably be able to read this again in a few years and have a jolly good laugh at my naivety. I can't promise any juicy emotional outbursts, probably just the mundane ramblings of a bored 20 year old. Urgh, I'm 20 and I have a blog, am I a loser?
I got a lovely new laptop this week, an early twenty-first birthday present from my parents. My computer was too bad to run Word, which I sort of needed if I'm going to continue to pretend to write essays for my degree... Anyway, I was really cool as usual, and photographed my boxfresh Macbook so I can remember the moment forever.
Tomorrow is the first day of semester two of my second year at University. Although I like to say I hate being a student, which I do to a point. It's actually terrifying that I don't feel like I've been at Uni very long and I'm already half way through. I'm going to have to join 'the real world' in about a year and a half. This is horrible.
