the excitement of spending money
i LOVE shopping.
mainly because i love that feeling when you get home and you have lots of bags and you take the labels off things and you try everything on again and its nice, even though you're really tired from walking around all day.
online shopping for clothes gets rid of all this excitement.
i HATE that you have to pay an extra £5 to get it the next day, and £4 for 2-3 days.
i also hate that i can't get student discount, cuz it only accepts nus extra cards online.
but most of all i hate that bloody parcel delivery people can't knock loud enough so anyone actually hears. losers.
don't get me wrong, i think sites like amazon and play make a lot of sense, they offer the same things you can get in the shops but for cheaper and with reasonable postage costs.
however, shops that have an online store (my example being topshop.com) just annoy me, they thrive on the fact that they barely stock larger sizes in store, which means people like myself who need a size 16 are stuck with paying an extra £4 on top of the normal price, with no discount, to buy the same clothes as the size 8 girls who just wander into the shop and find 5 of each item in their size.

early morning/late night
please please please listen to this album
it's absolutely brilliant, i've listened to it about 4 times today, in a row.
also, new los campesinos! has leaked and i have downloaded and listened,
i'm not sure it's as instant as hold on now youngster, but i'm pretty sure it's just as good.
however, i haven't listened to it all the way through more than once.
and my final recommendation of the morning/night
is watchmen.
i haven't quite finished reading the graphic novel, though i'm not far off and it really is as fantastic as everyone says.
this is the trailer for the film coming out next year, i'm looking forward to it.
a lot.

new house
i'm all moved in to my lovely liverpool house.
things are good, apart from a few basics, for example, i don't have a chair for my desk and virgin havent given us the wireless router, and they can't get it to us til friday apparently.
we also don't know how to use the boiler, so the only hot water we have is from the downstairs electric shower.
cooking for ourselves is going to be strange, i need to do a shop but i don't know what to buy??
fed up of having to phone people, i hate phoning people, especially when they are UNhelpful.
i'm by myself at the moment cuz alice is at lectures, it's strange, its a big house and it makes lots of noise, unusual noise. and there's like an industrial strength fan in the room next to mine sorting out damp, thats loud too.

highs and lows
after reading this thread on efests i have been thinking about my time at reading festival, and mainly all the things i thought were rubbish about it.
1. LACK OF LADIES TOILETS.
by the sunday i was queueing for up to half an hour and still not anywhere near the front of the queue. i had to go out of the arena and head to yellow toilets to actually go. yes i know there are urinals but i was wearing leggings and shorts, which are not the easiest thing to go for a wee standing up in. also, all of the bloody toilets were blocked by sunday, two queues of about 10 girls for ONE toilet. no thanks.
2. CAR PARK STUPIDITY
where are the lovely helpful stewards who guide your car in for you on the thursday when you want to leave on monday?? NO WHERE. we spent 4 hours just sitting in the car park cuz there were no stewards to help prevent ridiculous queues.
3. "ANGRY MOB, ANGRY MOB"
you're not fucking angry cuz you run away from one guy and his girlfriend when there's 15 of you, so why try and bully and intimidate people? absolutely ridiculous. have fun with your friends but there's no need for violence and destruction. the state of camp on monday morning was ridiculous, i've never stayed as late as i did this year and it was just horrible, all the toilets had been destroyed (i hope people fell in when they were breaking them) and there were so many fires that were just pouring out black smoke that on the walk to the car park i couldn't stop coughing.
4. SHITTING.
omg, don't shit in bushes, thats just rough.
5. MOANING ABOUT BANDS WHEN YOU'RE QUITE FAR FORWARD
you made all the effort to get down near the front and then you moan, look around, push past people that are trying to watch. GOD. get a fucking life. the people doing this actually ruined queens of the stoneage for me, i could barely hear as it is (see no. 6), i did not need dickheads banging into me and talking in front of me and chucking drinks over me.
6. LOW MAINSTAGE SOUND
melvin benn has blamed the weather, when the weather was good and pretty much the same all weekend.all the bands on saturday and sunday were noticeably louder than any of the bands on friday and ratm were considerably louder than even qotsa, which seems stupid.
rant over.
there were lots of things i loved about reading too, but any bad stuff that happens always seems to be reallllllllly bad.
