I'm really going to miss you picking fights, and me falling for it, screaming that I'm right, and you would hide away and find your peace of mind with some indie record that's much cooler than mine..

Used to be one of the rotten ones, and I liked you for that. Now you're all gone, got your make up on and you're not coming back. Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath, bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under my window..Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
also i'm rereading harry potter
ysee i couldn't sleep on saturday night i was just wide awake and i felt quite nervous but idk why so i got out harry potter and the philosopher's stone and just started to read it..i love rereading books but especially harry potter ones because it's like going back to childhood it's like putting on a comfy pair of shoes or drinking a cup of hot chocolate it's soothing and reassuring because i know the words inside out and i'm really enjoying it
i forgot how magic harry potter can be i know that sounds silly but it's like going to another world

You've made me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to god I'm talking metaphorically hope that I'm talking allegorically know that I'm talking about the way I feel and I've never known a girl like you before
today has been incredibly long but on the plus side i've done all of my reading on tiberius..now i just need to read all the stuff on claudius, and then i can start making notes..
all it has taught me is that the romans were right bastards when they wanted to be tbh because i was easily distracted by some of the little stories that tacitus is so fond of telling that have nothing to do with tiberius or claudius but some mad parthian tribesmen who kill their wives so they can't be captured or something like that so i ended up reading some of the more horrifying examples of how not to expand your empire

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth still a little bit of you laced with my doubts still a little hard to say what's going on
Oh my god i just finished reading the hunger games and I loved it hahaha I got dead excited and I swear my heart was in my mouth for most of it
Really desperately want the next one now :D

oh and i finished reading 'vile bodies' on thursday..
i really enjoyed it, it was better than i expected and i loved the matter of fact style it was written in, plus there were some hilarious moments that actually made me cry laughing.
but i also found the storyline quite disappointing..i don't know i'm such a lover of happy endings and i knew that it wouldn't have a happy ending because i'd read enough about it, but i didn't expect to feel so disappointed? i also didn't expect to dislike nina as much as i did. i also didn't realise that agatha runcible would end up the way that she did i found the scenes with her very poignant and distressing to read, a definite contrast with the rest of the novel.
overall i really enjoyed reading it but i don't think that i'd read it again. i'm glad i've read it however, now i just have to analyse it for coursework haha

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head but don't your remember
i've decided and commenced on reading 'vile bodies' for my english lit coursework, hopefully comparing it to ts eliot poems
it was either that or reading alice's adventures in wonderland which obviously i am not opposed to doing again hahaha

He believes in the love of his god of all things but I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins the drugs that decieve him and the girls that believe him I can't control you I don't know you well these are the reasons I think that you're ill
ahhhh i've been revising literally all day my brain feels like mush :( i started revising at like 11.15 and i didn't stop until 5.15 when my mum & brother got home and i had to get ready for work. i had 2 hours at work and now i'm back...revising again
i've been doing a routine of revising for 20 minutes, then take a 10 minute break...it seems to be going well so far but it seriously could be so so so much better.
i just want to crawl into bed and sleep and forget that frankenstein/macbeth/faustus ever even existed, especially frankenstein because that book makes absolutely no sense to me at all it's just a jumble of words on a page that don't read well together in my opinion.
i've got college tomorrow too which is a bit of an arse tbh

I did a cleansing routine on my face to pass time, and I've painted my nails (purple) and tried to read some books but I'm still bored...maybe I need a life haha
