I don't do too much casual reading usually in term time but right now I am reading: The Slaves of the Mastery - William Nicholson I love it, I'm re-reading it because it's one of my favourite series. Running with Scissors - Augusten Burroughs My friend sent me this for Christmas, highly recommended. However so far I don't like it, just find the style crappy, forced and unpleasant to read. But I'll finish it anyway. Then for uni I'm reading: RUR - Karel Capek Boring... Combray - Marcel Proust This is the only one of my reading list that I really liked before starting to study it, even though everyone else hates it because he's a pussy and writes too much description. The stuff about reality/dreams is interesting and he can be pretty funny at times too.

I only got a friendly card from someone and a reference from the Bursar _ But then again I wasn't expecting anything. I made my 'desired' a card that was jokey enough that it could count as a joke and filled with glitter, but that contained a real sentiment. He didn't mention it at dinner (well, there were loads of people there) but he did smile at me in a cute way. Yeah, I'm thirteen. Fuck off, it's Valentine's day

Martinu - Cello Sonatas Tokio Hotel - Schrei Jaco Pastorius - some kind of overview of his work Del Amitri - the Best of Yes and Friends - Owner of my Only Fart Yngwie and co. - Unleash the Fury Some Steve Vai an das all u need 2 no

My latest dream was that two of my friends asked me who were the first three guys to have been credited with the discovery of electromagnetic waves AND died by decapitation. So I said Maxwell and the Marconi and then I couldn't think of anyone else. I thought it was just a casual question but next thing I knew they started trying to kill my dad with a crowbar "because it's our bread and butter weapon on Unreal Tournament!" I got it off them and threw it down the drain and my dad was angry because he could have died and why hadn't I given him the crowbar? For some reason everyone else in the street just let us be.

The bit you mentioned wasn't rocket science but look! - they made a formula and everything! What is that.. delta.. thing for?

Thanks guys (What about amps?)

There's one at the Turf in Oxford. You could do it over the phone, it's pretty hard though so I'm going to take a stand and not go any more.

Well I still enjoyed watching it.

Gonnae do a thread for bass like that guitar one, please =)

She's awesome! Unrelatedly, we just made this. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Bodast/leekspin.gif

Agh I forgot about this, can you PM me your address too Alan? Or can I send it online somehow?

Aw that's ace but I'm away =(

Nawww it isn't him it's the guy with the broken arm in the second series who slept over with Fiona.

Philip Schofield, James May, Saxondale, Alan Hansen... then I inevitably become attached to every presenter on The Great Big Quiz and the ITV night time quiz. Pretty much everyone on TV.

Cor, I have a weak spot for risk takers - is he shingle?

There's nothing to lose in trying it for a bit. Anyway, if people don't want to read them, they don't have to. And although you said it would be okay to be more personal 'journals', if people are more into that type, they're likely to put them on myspace or whatever they use rather than here so it should stay closer to music-based here.

After dropping many mentions of the Children of Nuggets Boxset to my parents before Christmas, I still didn't get it so I got it myself. Also nicked three Symphony X albums and one Finntroll album off someone's computer at uni, they're growing on me nicely. Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth Snoop Dogg - The Blue Carpet Treatment Hatfield and the North self titled The best of (hed)pe The first McFly album

Liverpool, Portsmouth, Boro, Slavia Prague, Bohemians Prague, Dortmund, Hamburg, Bordeaux, Lens, PSV, Willem II Tillburg, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, teams with a cool strip, teams with Czechs. I never watch any games, but I buy World Soccer every couple of months...

Quoted, just in case!

Do my uni work better / try to be genuinely interested in my course. Start playing bass. Become more proficient at using hex with ascii (learn more symbols) Find some more friends at uni who like even vaguely decent music and occasionally consider going to gigs instead of clubs ¬_¬ Make some better batwings Maintain a skincare routine Oh and maybe try to get a slot on the uni radio station when I start second year (and convince people to listen to it)
