So I have made my own one.
7 songs that I think are brilliant.
Modest Mouse - Black Cadillacs
I've loved Modest Mouse ever since Sam introduced me to them about 4 years ago. This is my song of choice. The lyrics are just brilliant. Though it is the same with most of their songs.
Puretone- Addicted to Base
This song is just so fantastic it will stay with me forever. I find myself singing it even when I haven't heard it for ages. Just immense.
The Shins- We Will Become Silhouttes
One of my all time favourite covers. This was originally a song by The Postal Service (another extremely good band) But I infinately prefer this version of it.
Chet- Chets on Fire
I got very upset (As did many) when Chet split up. They were a fantastic band who could get even the most anti dancing people up and moving. I don't think it's cheating to have an unsigned band. So there.
Roll Deep- The Avenue
It's just such a tune. I listened to this song so much the summer/autumn before last. I always think of the line "getting mix messages funny text messages" when I've had a stupid night of drunk texts.
Sam Cooke- Cupid
I'm lucky enough to know many talented singers and this is a song I try and force them to sing on a regular. It's just a classic.
Architecture In Helsinki- Do The Whirlwind
I am quite in Love with AiH. They just have this sorta fuck it let's enjoy ourselves attitude I can really get behind. This is off their in case we die album and it's chocker full of tunes.
Well I have really enjoyed doing that...It was pretty hard picking just 7 though tbh.
Anyway, Over and out!

Only I Love quotes this much
Ok so this is less so an update as I previously promised more a list of fun things/quotes of the times had.
"My eyes just started watering. I was about to get angry"
"Nobody here can dance!"
"You're bus stop is over there. I'm gonna go and get angry"
"I ate way too many flowers today"
"Why did you hit me with a stick? That's not alright"
"You have to up the anti and you kept throwing my shoes in the stream"
"Check yourself before you wreck yourself is not an insult"
"Life is all about free love and embracing the gifts God gives you"
"Do you want these flowers"
"No. Give them to this guy"
"Wait...where did Tony go"
Ok...There are many more but I figure only the people who were out are getting why these are funny and they pretty much know most of them so I shall stop.
There was fun to be had on the weekend and I didn't do more than half of the things planned. I got some bad news I'd rather not dwell on and had some brilliant times I hope will stay with me forever.
Tomorrow...well tomorrow I hope to go to my friends and watch last weeks Dr Who. Due to my incredible lack of money however, I do believe another friend may come here to watch movies. Cause I can't even afford to get to work if I go to the other friends house.
Tim's wedding is fast approaching and I'm realising I need to find another dress...2 was enough before it started getting pointed out that I always wear the same stuff to events. I do such things well but don't want to look a shambles for my dear Tim's big day so will spend a reasonable amount of time looking.
I am thinking about the elections alot of late. Probably shouldn't do that talk here though. It only gets me worked up.
I have strong ambitions of keeping this blog up I just need at least 2 people to harass me enough when I slip.

Back!
Nobody can be exactly sure how long this will last for but I'm posting again!
I've been living a fairly interesting life at the moment and figured it might be good to write them down before my brain completely gives up.
Not doing a catch up though because that would be long and tedious for us all.
After last nights "drink till we can't feel feelings anymore" attitude of...strange I am gradually becoming more human.
Round 2 is tonight. Coppers for Karma are playing a gig in the dublin castle, Camden, tonight and I shall be attending with some choice friends. Aran and I will be making the journey together so we are pretty much definately gonna get lost. It's something I have come to terms with. You should to. Stop dwelling.
The rest of my weekend is surely going to be a bit surreal.
It's my Great-Aunt's 90th birthday party in Colchester. Not sure how that will be...I hope it's not dull but it's one of them faint only fooling yourself sortof hopes. I think I'll be back by about 11 so will look for something exciting to do depending on the time. (Distraction is the new dealing with issues)
Then on Sunday there is this bad boy
http://www.lmhrcarnival.com/LMHR_carnival_lineup/
Which should be 10 kinds of sexy.
I will probably blog after all that happens to my life as I will be busy living it during.
The Sun isn't out but I have that summer lovely feeling inside my body. I think this year's summer is going to be fantastic!

My friends are funny
Top 5 excuses I've ever heard used by my mates for not having a drink with someone they don't want to talk to:
1) I would but I just remembered I painted my living room and I want to go and watch it dry (Not actually used but Rich said it as advice and it made me laugh too much)
2) I would but I can't help thinking I might stab you
3) I would but I find your child more attractive than I should and don't want to rape them.
4) I would but I just remembered you irritate the fuck out of me
5) Ending our friendship was the best thing I've ever done so I think I'll pass on that drink in favour of....anything

Conservatives are a bit nuts
I've been laughing solidly since I stumbled across this little website of dreams. It's sponsered by fox. Which is a worry
Also I cooked some tasty tasty food for my lunch today. It's called Tempeh, Tsuyu, Carrot and that basically says it all. But my is it tasty :D
I booked 4 tickets to go and see Al Murray's Happy Hour being filmed on April 1st which is quite exciting. Sorta a birthday present for myself.
This is rather a bitty entry. Never mind.
I'm trying to go to uni next year. I figure I'm mature enough now to realise the importance of actually doing the work. I definately didn't when I left college. I didn't get the importance of not wasting money then either. Though I am still struggling with that one to be honest.
Oh if anyone who reads this knows of a job vacancy for daytime weekday stuff let me know. Money is rather tight these days and I'm planning to go away in June.

Gone and a little bit forgotten
I haven't posted in a bit simply because I made the rule not to be stupid and feelingy on this doobery and dammit I'm sticking to that.
Anyway I was thinking today about how everyone pretends.
We all do. Pretend to care about the fact that someone has something happening in their lives that has actually no impact in our own and stuff.
What I concluded from a rather tedious chain of thought is that the only reason we do it is so that other people will do it to us.
It is an entirely selfish act that enables us to be pissed off at someone for not being interested in our tedious little lives.
Instead of being pessimistic about this, I saw it as a great thing about humanity. I really think that our want for other people to take even the most forced interest in our lives forces us to want to live a more exciting life.
To me that is a beautiful thing. Not for the reason behind the act, but for the act itself.
I don't think I would have done a large amount of the things I have done knowingly without the influence of how I could inform someone of what I had done.
Maybe that makes me childish. Or shallow. Or any number of names that people have for similar things. In my mind it makes me human and I think that I am not alone in these things.
Deep things aside I bought some very pretty wool today from wicker and gear in NX and am rather excited about meeting with the meantimeknitters for some teaching wonderment.
I have more blood tests tomorrow and will possibly within a week know what's wrong with me. This is a passing mention only for those of you I have informed of my crazy things.
Peace, Love and low interest rates on your savings accounts
