"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middles you see the blue centrelight pop and everybody goes 'Awwww!'"
I'd say this was pretty self-explanatory of my experiences in Manchester so far =D
Oh and it is my Mum's Birthday today so Yey!! :)

They called me names and shoved me quite hard. I just kept on walking and tried to ignore them. They continued to casually sling abuse at me even when I was quite a way away. It was upsetting and rather unsettling.
I honestly think Chavs should be exterminated one by one. I hate them and their brainless ways.

. . . well to be a tad more precise it's in 2 days time - eek!
I'm a whole insane, eclectic mixture of emotions - it's a lot of fun.
But also confusing. I'm happy and sad. It could be said that it's the end of an era or not as the case maybe as I'll no doubt be back and forth home with my dirty washing within weeks of my arrival *nods*
I'm looking forward to . . .
- Meeting lots of new crazy-ass people
- Freshers Week
- Lie-ins before lectures (hell-to-the-yeah!)
- My course
- Independance
- Potential gigs
- Barring and Pubbing my life away
I'm not looking forward to . . .
- Being skint
- Missing my mates at home
- Missing family
- Missing my bedroom
- Having to cook =S
There are probably more for each but alas this post is boring me and probably you too so I'll end it with a cheery quote:
"You're in the Jungle Baby, You Gonna Die!"

Yesterday I officially inherited all of my parents vinyl LP's =)
Including all of the first 5 Roxy Music albums, a big selection of David Bowie's (Ziggy Stardust period), Janis Joplin's only 2 albums (1 being her Greatest Hits), Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, The Doors and a whole lot more.
All originals. All immacualte. I'm so pleased!
In other news:
As of 11: 15am today, it is now legal for me to drive unaccompanied by an adult over the age of 21 as I have passed my Driving Test ^ ^
Big break through considering I've been learning for the past year and a half.
Bad news is I don't have a car but not to worry as I hate driving anyway and at Uni it won't be practical!
I've now had my provisional licence taken off of me to upgrade to a proper licence. Now, I'm without ID *sigh* . . . but totally worth it =)

Ok, so yesterday my Mum went to this psychic dude.
Now, under normal circumstances I would probably think that what he said was lucky guess work thrown in with some nifty card tricks to impress.
However . . .
I have chosen to believe him as what he said about me was extremely real. Mum, has been to other psychics before and they have said I'd be successful in my exams and would be doing something Art related. This psychic's strategy was to tell without promts of the current situation as well as what will happen in the near future using 3 packs of cards: a normal pack, an alphabet pack and Tarot cards.
His predictions (so to speak) concerning me were:
- He told my Mum that she had 1 child, a daughter. He asked of my name.
- He told her that he'd like to see me with a little more weight on me and that he knew she was worried (the truth - she is worried)
- He told her not to worry, that I wasn't anorexic but she was fighting a losing battle trying to make me eat and I should be left alone.
- He told her that I was about to leave home (which I am for uni, eek!)
- He then picked 'H' from one pack of cards and 'Ace' from the other pack (this signified History of Art)
- He said I will be successful but won't be a Curator for an Art Gallery but I will work in the field perhaps have my own Art Gallery
- He said to my Mum that she shouldn't be alarmed but he can see me living in New York
- He said we have a close relationship, which will remain so, and we are friends and not just mother and daughter (true)
- Apparently I'll find my 'partner in crime' 2 years from now
He also talked about her own life and her family but I won't go into that.
I wonder whether what he 'sees' will become reality one day. Hope so =)
Well, we'll see won't we.

I got into The University of Manchester to study History of Art!! Oh yeah!!
Everything has been leading upto this moment and I couldn't have wished for a better outcome *jumps up and down*! I'll shortly be going into school to collect my actual results!

Only for the driving instructer's car to break down in our driveway.
I therefore missed my driving test as I had no car to use.
This, is what I call sod's law.
It was nobody's fault, just a misfortune and perhaps a sign, a good omen.
I began to see on the bright side of the days unusual events.
This being:
1. I had THE worst driving examiner who rarely passes people anyway.
2. It was raining and the vision wasn't particularly very good.
3. If I had of passed I may not have had my ID back in time for going out with my mates and potentially would have missed an amazing night out.
I will now at some point in time be rebooking the test.

My thoughts are as follows:
1) The most fantastic film I've seen in a long while.
2) I thought the special effects were brilliant and I couldn't have asked for any more on that front.
3) Perhaps a bit on the long side - 2 hours 30 minutes approx. It definately could have been cut down to about 2 hours.
4) I thought Batman's motorbike could have been made to look a tad faster and less like a wheelbarrow.
5) Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was pure brilliance. He was realistic, believable and strangely made the creepy psychopath that is the Joker almost lovable. A performance definately worthy of a posthumous Oscar.

Boredom
They say 'life's too short'.
It is in a way.
Each day you live brings you closer to death.
What have you achieved today?
Death lurks on every corner.
If you died tomorrow would people murmour 'life is too short'?
You had the time, why didn't you do something with it?
All those hours wasted being bored.
They could have been spent doing something you love.
What was holding you back?
Is life really too short?
Or is that a misconception in itself?
If life was too short would boredom be felt?
Does boredom make life too long?
Or is life exactly what you make of it?
Is life too short for someone who is never bored?
Or is boredom a human emotion felt by everyone?
Is life too easy?
Does easiness fuel boredom?
Is that why we get bored?
Unchallenged lives.
I'm bored can't you tell.
