Been a while since I did one of these.
So here's how it works: open your choice of music player and put it on shuffle. Press play. For every question, type the song that's on. And when you go to a new question press the next button. Ready? GO!
Opening credits: His Name Is Alive - One Year (I dunno what I'd think if I heard this as credits rolled. Romcom, possibly. I could see a big American Beauty/Cruel Intentions swooping overhead shot to this.)
Waking up: Smoosh - It's Not Your Day To Shine
Average day: the Mountain Goats - Jeff Davis County Blues (Has the kind of laziness appropriate to my days recently.)
First date: Moloko - The Time Is Now (Too perfect.)
Falling in love: the Mountain Goats - Azo Tle Nelli In Tlalticpac? (...maybe? It'd have to be some kind of weird semisurrealist scene. Probably in the rain.)
Fight scene: Don Caballero - Slice Where You Live Like Pie (Has that chaotic organ line combined with driving percussion. Yeah, that'd work)
Breaking up: Placebo - You Don't Care About Us (Also works. Our hero feels like shit, goes to a club, has a few substances too many as the song goes on)
Getting back together: Shannon Wright - Noise (Bittersweet reunion, I take it.)
Secret Lover: Blur - Song 2 (Our hero, bored by his stressed relationship seeks solace in the arms of a crazy young thing.)
Life's okay: Deerhoof - Dinner For Two (Calm moment, our heroes kiss, pan out to birds flying in a beautiful blue sky)
Mental breakdown: Camera Obscura - Before You Cry
Driving: The Undertones - Teenage Kicks (Speeding down country lanes in a battered but still stylish convertible, I feel)
Learning a lesson: John Vanderslice - Exodus Damage
Deep In Thought: Liars - Drum And The Uncomfortable Can (This would also make very good montage music, I reckon)
Flashback: Nina Simone - See-Line Woman
Partying: Daft Punk - High Life (Sounds like a party to me)
Happy dance: Belle & Sebastian - Electronic Renaissance (Ooh, but who is it with? I reckon the crazy Midoriesque secret lover)
Regretting: Joanna Newsom - Sawdust & Diamonds (Perfect. Wistful, bittersweet, melancholic but recalling happier times)
Long night alone: Easy Star All Stars - Let Down (Our hero gets stoned in the concrete jungle, and says his goodbyes to the world)
Death Scene: Barber's Adagio For Strings (Oh, how fucking cliché is that?)
End Credits: the Mountain Goats - The House That Dripped Blood (Our film is over. Our hero lived and loved and learned a grand total of nothing. Go to the kitchen and make yourself a black coffee while reflecting on the mystery and misery of life. We hope you enjoyed the movie. The cellar door is an open throat.)

Junior Boys - In The Morning (Hot Chip Remix) |
] |
All things considered, an excellent weekend.
Saturday I played a DJ set at the imp, mostly psytrance. Obviously, having never done anything like this ever, I was incredibly nervous. Hell, I only agreed to do it in the first place because I was high on disco biscuits. Then their other psytrance DJ pulled out and I kinda felt obliged to stay in.
Really glad I did. Aside from some problems getting the sound set up right which resulted in us starting 15 minutes late, it went really really well. We got back our investment, everyone I managed to talk to had a good night, and most importantly, my set was the one which got the most people dancing.
=D

Just finalised everything through UCAS. I am officially going to Sheffield University to study history in October.
Can't wait, to be honest. I figure at 22, it's about time.

I woke up this morning from a really vivid dream of someone I hadn't seen in years.
Every romantic bone in my body tells me that I'll meet her again soon.
Common sense tells me that that's pretty unlikely.
Sometimes I really don't like common sense.

Yesterday was fun. Had a great time at Lindsay's birthday. Goddamnit though.
Mel was around, we were getting on well, then 'you're kind of like a brother'. Well, fuck. Not had that line in about four years, but it still has the amazing ability to make me see red. Completely. I fucked off, had a good time, then she was coming back to mine. She storms off because she doesn't approve of poppers.
I mean, nor do I. I still do them when they're offered and I'm pissed.
Evidently not the one for me. But I'm starting to give up hope I'll find the one any time soon. Or even a one. Oh, ONGST. Ignore me, seriously. I just kinda wanted that to work, more than I have done for a long time.
Lots to do this week. Interview at York Uni on Wednesday, and I should be hearing back from Sheffield as well. I'm quietly confident I'll get into one of those two, and either would be awesome. I've yet to hear from Manchester Met yet, either.

You know the Bible 90%! Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

I read about three books of it when I was 10, and I know absolutely nothing from being in the choir, since I never paid attention. That there is what happens when you've got Irish catholics even two or three generations back :/

2006 Year In Review
January
New Year's last year was excellent. Mel had come out of pretty much nowhere, I was surrounded by friends and everything was good. Of course, then Mel chucked me to go back to her ex after a mere couple of weeks, which was pretty harsh. This was also when I resolved to quit smoking in the winter - my chest's quite bad enough as it is. I actually managed to keep that resolution, not smoking until March. Of course, late in the month I ended up moving into 8 Dale Street when Dave moved out.
February
Something of a non-starter, as February tends to be. Only thing of note that occured was me getting settled into my own place, and having my musical horizons expanded somewhat by Scott, Bish et al. The one night that stands out would have to be my housewarming, which was a great party. Oh, also Bev's birthday party, which was excellent. Hash cookies should be illegal.
March
The month started off with me DMing for the first time. I love it so, it really brings out my god complex =D
The first Breaksfest I went to, and the beginning of me going out by myself again, something I really do enjoy. Also got to know Toni and Lee both a lot better over this month, which I'm very glad of. They've been good friends this year. Musicwise, I got a lot more indie in March, starting to feel the STARS, Brazilian Girls and Go! Team love
Oh, according to my diaries, March was also marked by some random woman coming up to me in hangar and asking for a lock of my hair, then taking it anyway. There is a shrine to me somewhere. That or a voodoo doll.
April
Foam party! Was excellent, and I hope somewhere in Scunthorpe has one again. Ah yes, and it was followed quickly after by Rhea's party and me getting the tattoo of a hat on my belly and the tattoo of the mark of Tzeentch on my right buttock, and going fifteen rounds with anyone who would. I still have the scars from those two events.
May
I got a job in the Honest Lawyer. And promptly lost it. But what the hell. Got to know Lindsey through that, who was cool, although I lost contact after a couple of months. As I recall, this was also the month where it went from chilly to absolutely fucking boiling overnight. We had a brilliant summer this year.
Ended the month by a trip to Derbyshire with my mum...
June
...and began the next one with a trip to Derbyshire with friends. Without a doubt, The Land was the highlight of my year. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic weather, good company, including Alex, who it was really nice to see, and a shedload o' drugs. Had my best trip ever on my birthday. Saw God. Was excellent.
The rest of the month consisted of me getting drunk in the sunshine. It was glorious.
My records tell me it was late in this month that I had a dinner party, so I must have been starting to cook around this time.
July
I dub this, in retrospect The Month Of Unnecessary Horniness.
Started with me getting on well with Aidy at the Baths, then I met Sue Timms. While in retrospect probably a Bad Thing, I don't regret it in the least. It was fun. This was also marked by the appearance of The Arse on my MySpace and a drink with Selina. My libido obviously had gone through the roof by this point (well, it had been over six months), and all the wrong people were responding.
August
Global Gathering! This was one of the most random things that ever happened to me, but it turned out to be absolutely brilliant, and I got PAID for it. Best job evar. And I met Kirsty, not pursuing who I'd have to say is my biggest regret of this year. Also got to know Tom, and had some excellent wasted nights in Sheffield.
Nat & Winter's birthdays were both in this month, as was the absolutely mindblowing free part in Sheffield. Looking back, it involved a lot of getting wasted in the open air, August. It was excellent.
September
A horrible month, marked by my Grandma's collapse and, a fortnight later, death.
It hit me hard, and left me unable to do much. I was very glad to head to Sheffield late on in the month to get away from that. The funeral was particularly hard, but did result in my entire family coming together for the first time in years. It's terrible that it takes such things just to get people to speak to each other.
October
The start of the social season, with Michelle's party. I made an excellent Dorothy.
This month I was in a pretty bad way, psychologically, though. If I hadn't gone to Whitby, I don't know what would have happened. Financial problems on top of Grandma's death...
But I did go to Whitby Goth Week, and it was entirely awesome. Going somewhere completely different from Scunthorpe with lots of incredibly friendly people was exactly what I needed.
Novemeber
A shit month. Can't really say much else for it, tbh. Marked by me moving back home under the stress of lack of money, a recurrence of cluster headaches, and general badness.
December
I finally recovered from Cluster Headaches again, and the last two weeks have been utterly awesome. Sheffield was brilliant, not just a great night out, but awesome to see Paul, Nikki and even Lydia again. Then Christmas, which has been a really nice family event this year, but also one where I've seen old friends I haven't seen for years.
It was nice to see Selina again earlier this week, and I'm pretty sure the other nights out I've enjoyed myself. Tonight I will eat, drink, and be merry, because I believe it's very important to see in the New Year how you intend to see it out.
Happy New Year, everybody, and may 2007 treat you well. I'll hoist a glass to you all tonight, and I expect you to do the same!
Cheers!
Sláinte!
Iechyd da!
Salud!
Salut!
Proost!

Na zdrowie!

Sorry to anyone who's been trying to contact me, I've been incommunicado for a bit. We've been cut off, and aside from that, I've been busy.
I've been feeling quite down recently. My Grandma died a few weeks ago, winter's drawing in, I've had bad financial troubles and I'm feeling quite alone.
Other than that, I'm fantastic.
I can't say when I'll be back online, but I'll update before long I imagine.
