Listening to 90's tunes

So I awoke at 8am and was a little late to the TV studio, but I'm not the star so nothing was held up. The bus was on diversion and no one thought to tell the passengers. The swines! Ah well, the walk does us all good I suppose! Last day of carnival and it can't come quick enough. Mostly because I need to have my mistake rectified and the money owed to my friend's parents repaid. Not that they know yet what has happened but needless to say: a mistake was made (mine) and recompense shall be paid (by me).
DAMN!
This STILL affects your credit rating... Can't wait for my student loan to be paid. 23 days and counting. All will be on an even-keel then. Equilibrium shall be restored.
Tia (my dog) is still a little ill but seems to be much better today so that stress is leaving too. I hate feeling the way I have been lately. Too many things on my mind, and therefore mistakes are made and tempers are frayed. College starting soon, then uni', then I will immerse myself into the world of knowledge and not check so much on the internet, wasting hours clicking from one Wiki' entry to another. Why is it that you can go from looking up 'what that bloke has been in' to Mescaline in perhaps only 5 easy steps? Meanwhile looking up about a trillion other things in the meantime? The internet was surely not created to waste time?

Surely?

I have very recently discovered the joys of Spotify. I know, I'm a little bit slow on the uptake sometimes. It's easier to use than LastFM which I have tried (and tried) to get to grips with, but Spotify has allowed me to more easily find songs that I have completely forgotten about. It's amazing and I am feeling much younger too as I have rediscovered music from the 90s that was ACTUALLY good.
Amazing!!

So my choices:-

Counting Crows: Mr. Jones
Lisa Loeb: Stay
Tracy Bonham: Mother Mother
Arrested Development: Mr. Wendal

Bloody good!

I hate the Notting Hill Carnival

Sorry, but I do. It's too big and too loud to be confined in a residential area and I don't care what others think. From my window I can hear the muffled noise and mayhem of what is apparently the 'Childrens' Carnival. Them children must consume a LOT of alcohol, that's all that seems to be being sold! As long as it keeps them quiet, I suppose.
Tia (my dog) is NOT liking it either, especially not the strange dog that is hanging around. So on top of the muffled speaking from a PA system and the bass and beat and what sounds like 'huh huh huh huh' there is now the added barking sound. Fantastico.


NOW there's someone with one of them air horn things.

I hate to sound like a grumpy old woman but I am so that's how I appear. No, really, I do hate to soud like a moaner but I just am not in the mood for this. They *should* move it to Hyde Park. What's the problem?

Anyway.

I may go and purchase some stationery from Staples. But then again, I may not! No, I need some graph paper and highly exciting things such as that. College starts soon and I might go out of my head if I don't leave the house. Tomorrow I am going to watch 'The Wright Stuff' (again. I should get paid) so at least *that* will get me out. But not for long as the carnival is on. <>

I need a life! :)

Money makes the world go 'round...

it's just such a shame I don't have any.
After numerous phonecalls and 2 unpaid Direct Debits I have decided 'to hell with it! I'm paying everything with my student loan and so will get into more and more debt until I get my money'.
This means, you see, that nothing will get paid for until the 23rd September. But, fuck it. You can't spend money you don't have.

You do realise this affects your credit rating?
I don't care.

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

I can't wait to go back to uni'. I am being driven insane and I just don't like that feeling.

This summer I have successfully:
Painted my backdoor x2
Painted the step x2
Read 'If on a Winter's Night a Traveler'
Got into the red
Learned to dislike Vera Brittain
Ditto Aphra Behn
Visited the Imperial War Museum
Ate 3 Big Macs
Appeared on national television saying 'shocking' too many times in a normal sentence
Re-enrolled for uni'
Enrolled for Maths GCSE at college
Quit my job
Read some WW1 poetry
Had a delightful conversation with my crush
Had a delightful conversation with an 81-year-old woman I met in a pub
Got so drunk I vomited
Went to a wedding
Sang karaoke

One day all this (and hopefully THIS debt) will be a memory. Comforting. I mean it. Really. It comforts me. I am NOT being sarcastic. I'm NOT!!
