Oh my god. Doctor Who was fantastic. What can I say? I loved it. But it's not on again until Christmas! DVDs here we come.
ONE HOUR LEFT UNTIL DOCTOR WHO!
Some of you may have already seen the IKEA advertisement on their US site. They claim to offer inexpensive furnishings and, being a student and fond of bargains, it was a shop I had planned to go to in the near future. Not anymore.
This advertisement is what changed my mind.
Miss the offensive part?
Take a closer look.
See it? If not, maybe you got distracted by the strange word or bright colours.
Let's look again.
Now you see it, right?
Creepy? Yes, I admit, we may be seen as that. We may even encourage it. But to be classed as a bad influence just because we dress differently, like unusual things or listen to socially unacceptable music, that's just not fair. So listen up IKEA, change your attitude or lose your customers.
I don't want to be here. I want to go back to England. Why do you think it didn't help when you kept saying You'll be home soon. You just don't get it. This isn't my home anymore. It was, but that's in the past. There's nothing here for me now. I've lost eight pets since starting university. I still have my cat, three others and a dog but that's a lot of animals to loose in under a year. I haven't been near a horse in over a month and I don't even know if Murphy is still at the yard. Megan's changed since getting Fred on loan. Not completely but she's not quite the same as she was. Tom better teach us all summer. If not, there won't be much point riding.
I missed people here but I've hardly seen my Dad or David. It doesn't matter to the latter if I'm here but I know everyone else wanted me back for the summer. I'd rather still be living in England. If I was there I could be working with horses. As it is, I'm supposed to phone some guy about getting a job in his shop. Mum's is making me phone him even though she knows I hate making calls. Maybe she thinks it helps but it doesn't. I don't want to talk to anyone on the phone and I don't want to work in a fucking shop all summer.
Philippa's invited me to visit but I don't know if I'll be able to get time off or even if I can afford the flights. I'm supposed to be getting money together for Whitby, not to mention seeing people here off the summer. I've given everyone from school the impression that I wasn't coming back because I'm not sure if I want to see them. He was the only one that knew I would be back and he started chatting to me the night before I was due to come back. Then I told him I was staying and extra week and now it seems that he doesn't want to talk to me. What is there for me here?
I've hardly stopped crying for the last two hours and I know what Mum would say if she wasn't working. Well, she already said some of it when I spoke to her earlier.
Keep your chin up. It'll be okay.
How exactly will it be okay?
It'll just take you a few days to adjust.
I don't want to adjust. I want to go back to where I was and what I was doing.
You'll see them in October.
It's only June. How am I supposed to be okay with not seeing my friends until October when I normally spend almost twenty-four hours a day with them?
Well you're here now so you'll just have to get used to it.
I don't want to get used to it because it'll all have to change again in October.
It's okay to cry.
Thank goodness for that then...
You'll make yourself sick if you keep crying.
I don't care if I make myself sick. I want to cry. And scream. And throw things. And then I'd just get told to
Calm down and go an get something to eat.
Food does not solve everything. I don't want to see if my blood sugar levels are too low. I just want someone to talk to.
Make up your fucking mind. How else am I supposed to cope? Especially if I'm not allowed to cut.
Yes, I did say cut. I'm not some attention seeking little emo kid. It's been my coping mechanism for nine years, although in the past few months I restarted after four years without doing it. Yes, I'm fucked up. No, I'm not proud of what I do. But it helps take the pain away and at least the blade understands. You'll probably read this and judge me. If you do, don't message me telling me to grow up.
I got back to Northern Ireland last night. I want to go back to university now.
I'm moving back home tomorrow. I've finished uni for the summer but I really don't want to go back. Yet there are some things at home I'm looking forward to. I'm so confused. And I've hardly slept in almost two weeks.
I don't think I use the word 'commodities' enough.
It's officially the summer Solstice. Have a good one everyone.
James and I are sitting in the kitchen in dry clothes now. It's kind of a funny story. We went to the campus shop to buy Fathers Day cards and got a little wet on the way back.
Today was really sunny when Philippa left but then we had the third huge storm in two weeks. We were watching the lightning and listening to the thunder for ages and getting very excited. When the torrential rain eased off we decided to head to the shop to get cards so we could send them in the last post. It was drizzling when we left and we called into reception to check our post. It got a little heavier on the way to the shop and Barbara was giving us strange looks. We found what we wanted and went to pay for them. That's when the power went off.
We stood around watching the rain get heavier while the girl serving tried to contact her boss. In the end she had to do the maths by hand. Well, actually I had to do it for her. We paid in exact change and then left the shop. It took a few moments of looking outside before we plunged into the downpour. We were drenched in seconds and we literally dripping when we got back to the flat. It was only a two minute walk.
Hence the fact we had to change into dry clothing. Still, it was absolutely fantastic. :D
Philippa left a while ago. I guess this really is the end. It was hard not to cry.
The following are the some of the alcoholic drinks served in The Pit And Pendulum in Nottingham. The Seven Deadly Sins are cocktails while the Sadistic Shooters are shots. (Strange that…) These are only the ingredients, not the recipes. Enjoy.
“Aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head...ooh, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart.”
-Footsteps, Pearl Jam
“Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort, suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide.”
-Last Resort, Papa Roach
“They'll just cut our wrists like
Cheap coupons and say that death
Was on sale today.”
-The Fight Song, Marilyn Manson
“Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again.”
-Breaking the Habit, Linkin Park
I've been crying a lot. I guess I was lucky. They didn't seem to notice.
You do not know how much I wish I drank right now. I wish I could get wasted, find oblivion and go right out the other side and never wake up again.
I'm a little down now. I don't know why. I was fine earlier but I guess things have just gotten to me. Philippa and James are kind of hyper tonight. It's amusing. I'd probably join in but the apathy has taken over. They might read this. So Hi J and P if you do.
Song lyrics in a minute. I've been playing relevant ones all night and it hurts a little when people don't notice. I don't talk well so I sometimes try to say things without speaking. I don't think that works very well either.
Time for song lyrics now.
James broke the cheesecake.
*sarcasm* Grrr.*end of sarcasm*
And blocked me on messenger.
*sarcasm* Grrr.*end of sarcasm*
Nope, not really bitching about James. Can you tell?
At this moment in time I can honestly say that I think there are only two of my flatmates I don't hate.
Also, I have my second written exam tomorrow and have not yet looked at my notes. I'm predicting answers based on non-existent questions and have decided I'm answering numbers one and five despite not having seen the actual questions.
I am so very fucked right now. I hate most of my life at the minute and most of the people in it. Especially those that I thought loved me and then turned around and ripped out my heart.
