I shall pass your message of concern onto him when I next see him! They are everywhere in Newcastle! It's like Starbucks in America.

No she was an obsessive mong! I never met her and he lives in London - but she wanted 24/7 attention. She still texts him and he is now engaged. I was concerned a sex tape would appear on the internet or something.

Haha...there is always room for change

[Schtumple]

It's nice to read back at each post I make, seeing how I've progressed through time...

31. One of my best friends became incredibly arrogant and two faced, I guess it was because I didn't like him sleeping with one of our housemates who was an incredible bitch, strangely he sided with her, and did the same with everyone else.

32. Because of 31, I'm moving in with new people for my final year, call it the silver lining, they're some of the best people I've ever met. It almost makes me glad 31 even happened.

33. Also because of 31 I left the film group I helped to set up and decided to focus more on my photography, I enjoy photography more as I can do it whenever I feel, never having to rely on (or be let down by) anyone. My flickr is here.

34. I came over the writers block I had and immersed myself in 5 varied music projects at the same time. I've completed 2 so far, they're on my last.fm artist page here.

35. I don't aim for fame, I'm not bothered about stats and figures, I'd like my stuff to be seen and heard by people, but I'm really not bothered about pushing to become famous or anything.

36. This summer has been absolutely brilliant so far, I've got Glastonbury in a few days and The Dandy Warhols in August. I've already seen my favourite band (The Brian Jonestown Massacre) and my favourite comedian (Bill Bailey) live this summer. It's definitely been a good one.

37. I've started painting occasionally, I'm pretty terrible at it, I find it very stressful and try to rush through my paintings as fast as possible, but still, it's nice to do it. Got a photo of my first one here.

38. I don't plan on buying the iPhone 4, the only feature that appealed to me was the camera, but the lens is still far too terrible to do anything worthwhile with. I'll stick with my DSLR, SLR and Samsung consumer camera thanks.

39. I still have my beat up, dented pre-Unibody Macbook Pro, it's been in the Apple Store a total of 5 or 6 times now for various reasons, guess I picked a lemon, Apple refuse to replace, figures

40. I'm still looking for someone to make music with. Neo-Psychedelic Indie is a lonely genre.

 

[macbook yes]

11. I am 19 and still growing taller. Luckily, I was short to begin with.
12. I have panic attacks.
13. I never really did anything rebellious growing up. How boring
14. I don't do drugs, drink, or smoke.
15. My major is considered one of the hardest at my university. I believe it.
16. I brush my teeth thrice daily and still always have cavities.
17. I still have a blueberry iMac G3.
18. I'm rather preppy, but am proud of my nerdiness.
19. I can hold my own in debates about almost everything.
20. I can read around 600 words a minute.
