strictly come dancing

i'm very disappointed that rachel didn't win.
i'm even more disappointed that she lost to tom,
he was rubbish.

songs of the year

before i list my songs of the year, i'll just mention all the bands i've really enjoyed listening to this year, because it was very close, and obviously i haven't got to include some of my favourite songs, so the bands who didn't make it include los campesinos!, be your own PET, girls aloud and death cab for cutie. there's probably a lot more that deserve

so, without further ado, i present my top 10 songs of 2008 (that all have really good videos as well):

my life on a postcard

the weather is cold; coat, hat and boots are being worn every day.
sometimes it is cold enough for gloves.
so much work, but it's one month until christmas.
next week we are decorating the house, and in two weeks it's house christmas.
then i get another 3 christmas' over the festive period (real christmas at ryans, new years at mine and my birthday).
i got 75 in my presentation, which means 75 in a whole module.
spss is coming along, but i have an exam next week which is scaring me, and a mini dissertation to do.
second year is difficult.
lasagne for dinner tonight, and cake and muffins.
fun fun x

i watched his wildest dreams come true....

not one of them involving you.

paramore are really exciting me this week,
i've always really liked them, but they're never been my favourite band ever
but, this week i've been a bit obsessed.

so, have a video:

the x factor

laura was kicked out on saturday, she was in the bottom two with ruth.
i like both girls, but i'm also not their biggest fan.
it is a fact, however, that neither of them should have been in the bottom two.

i also think people need to get over the whole daniel hatred, rachel sang so flat it made me want to scream, and no one is saying it.

get rachel out please.
