the little things
It is really the little things that change you, and shape you, and can ultimately have the power to make you feel really great, or horrible. Just like in the beginnings of a relationship, it can be the way you hold hands as you walk down the street, that recognition that this may be something serious…
My last relationship ended after 5 years with him cheating and leaving me for her. Yet it...

I used to live in hotels. Because I thought it was romantic. Or something. I have an idea of how that sounds, so spare me. I can go on here and reveal that I mean I lived “in” them, as in weeks, sometimes months, eventually for over a year, but – trust me – I know how that sounds, so, again, spare me. I tell myself, and other people, now that I thought it was romantic, but I am...

Israel threatens escalation in Gaza →
unburyingthelead:
Israel threatened to escalate its attacks on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Sunday, positioning tanks and armoured personnel carriers close to the border and calling up 6,700 reservists for a possible incursion into the territory.
The moves followed the biggest military offensive against Gaza since the 1967 war and one of the bloodiest days for the Palestinians in more...

tonight
Tonight I made an ass of myself. Cue me, sitting at a bar on christmas eve with friends, when I am introduced by a mutual friend to a gorgeous guy, named B. I say my name, having to repeat it because its a little unsual. He says, ‘Sorry i’m deaf’, I laugh, and he says, ‘No really, i’m deaf’. So i feel like a complete douche for laughing.
But, you see,...

the festive season
Just watched Porky’s again. I find it endlessly amusing.
Hate the fact that its christmas. Hate hate hate. Want it to hurry up and snow. I’m no good at holidays. I gain more from watching a trashy movie like porky’s than I do by christmas. I’m not sure what that says about me as a person.
On another note, I think my housemate may be a druglord.

And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if...

Tonight my Manager told me that I should ‘slut about’ while I am still young, and because thats what England is for. I should use sex for excercise apparently. I told him I wasnt that kind of woman and he said thats bullshit.

I dont think ‘beef’ is the correct term here, douchebag. His issue seems pretty clear to everyone else.

3am so tired. Working in a bar has reaffirmed my belief that alcohol is ridiculous. I am growing to despise serving people revolting rum and cokes all night.. as they piss their money away on nothing. Its incredibly sad as the regulars clearly have no lives and no problems drinking their lives away. It makes me not want to drink at all.
