recently, when i caved to the social networking phenomenon. not really. i set up a facebook account to keep in contact with travelling companions, and a myspace account to better keep up with friends back home.
update: once enough friends had progressed to facebook, i deleted that myspace good!
slightly cool
just saw the bourne ultimatum and it was excellent. i have to say it felt pretty cool to have visited every city in the film, bar turin, italy (and taken a lot of the same journeys too). actually turin is pretty much on the way from rome to zermatt, switzerland. hmm…

in an effort to keep this blog fairly free of bile, i’ve decided to channel my frustrations into another blog: critiquent. specifically for longer rants which would not necessarily be topical for this blog. enjoy?

robbed i tell you!
not really. just checked on threadless for the first time in ages, and lo a behold a recent winner seems oddly familiar. admittedly my one and only submission was pretty awful. hey, it was three years ago — gimme a break!

i know. all i need now is a livejournal to document all my personal insecurities and emotional mood swings and i’ll be set! oh– and comb my fringe into my eyes and take a picture of myself by holding out a camera up high at arms length! my life has become a walking cliché!

Are you taking cheap shots at me? Because that makes me sad.

Also; the only real emo’s are dead emo’s.

Um, you can’t be emotional when your dead. You are either thinking of “the only good emos are dead emos” or “the only real goths are dead goths”

Yeah, that second one. That’s what I mean. The only REAL emo’s are dead emo’s. I’m just paraphrasing there. But yeah, you’re still not welcome at my home.

Alright, fine! You can come and stay with us. BUT I must warn you about a few things:
1. The tube gets REALLY warm and crowded. I’m talking full-on sweating, dizziness, people fainting and crammed in like sardines. One time, I lifted both feet off the ground! It’s that crowded.
2. We live in an old Victorian house that has had each room converted to a seperate studio flats (we live in the drawing room). So the walls are really thin and people are grumpy (I think they’re on welfare and are drunks) so you’ve got to keep your voice down. I know you’re a loud talker, so I’m mentioning it now.
3. London is a big and beautiful city, but the best parts aren’t found near tube stations, they’re found wandering around getting lost. Try to avoid catching the tube too much (good for rule 1.)
4. Keep your eyes open for pickpockets. They do still operate in the city. Avoid East London during the nightime. It’s pretty rough.

Also - beware any street urchins claiming to be chimney sweeps. If you let them shine your shoes (gov’na) then they will not only pickpocket you, but put you under a pikey curse.
Ok, so now I am making fun of you ;D
Thanks mate, and I’ll take to your advice. I’ll try not to be my usual public transport-loving, loud, obnoxious, un-attentive self.

Dude. So was I.
