Okay sure, the love against all odds thing is great. But death is a huge barrier to any kind of relationship, and if you both die, well frankly you're fucked.

Also on another literary note, Frankenstein is the creator not the monster dumbass.

P.S. This is not aimed at anyone in particular, just over hearing people talk shit.

Happy Easter everyone!

Yes? No?

If you haven't, its basically a story set in Wales based on an old old tale of Blodwed and two men who loved her.
Blodwed was made out of flowers by the way but was turned in to a bird, an owl I believe.
So The Owl Service is kind of like this story, in fact it basically is the story but its actually three children upon whom this story is projected.

It creeps me out majorly. I mean I love the story I do but despite it being a childrens book it actually scares me. Like no other book I've read does.
Its probably part nostalgia, looking back to when I first read it when I was much younger and was petrified.
I keep telling myself I hate the book but I know I'm just kidding myself. I love it really but I fight against myself to not read it. I put myself of over and over. But eventually I read it and creep myself out.

Just wondering if anyone else had read it? What you thought, does it creep you out as much as it does me?

Anywho, that all for now!

Globally we need to start looking properly at the environment and green policies, emmissions etc.

So what do they do. They say, yer yer, lets concrete over an area of greennes, demolishing homes, and schools and places of employment, and build another runway. This way we can get more planes, pumping more CO2, polluting the world that bit more into the world. Thats what we need, a huge building project that coincides with the Olympic build as well. Bearing in mind we can hardly afford them at the moment lets add to the pressure on the economy by building a big f*ck off runway. When a huge increase in unemployment and general money problems mean we could do with a bit of giving back, lets pledge more to this project.

Quite frankly the third runway can f*ck right off.

Right, sorry for the rant there, but its off my chest now thanks

P.S. I didn't say that my dad was THE Peter Cook did I...similarly who said that it was THE Peter Sellers car. I do live in Cheam though. Comedy wise Harry Secombe lived here too, and named a theatre after him.

Its a day when I can't do anything properly. No effort for enything. Sometimes it takes my all to get out of the bed in the first place to not make it.

Today started out so much better, I've finished the essays, went to a lecture, turns out it was cancelled. I even went shopping! Sounds like a perfect day!.
But when I got back to my room...the radio is on ( I hate coming back to silence), take off my coat and sit down at the computer. Check messages, facebook, deviants.
And suddenly I have no purpose, and I find my self staring out the window, through the bare tree branches at the Georgian houses across the road. The radio is still playing.
I think it was the radio that did it. A play on a guy living with manic depression. Got me thinking I guess. The main character had his first depression aged eight. It reminded me of...things.

So there we go, a little bit of catharsis. I should have known when I didn't make my bed.

And as such I've often felt left out almost. Learning about the amazing war efforts that pulled people together, the incredible women who fought for the vote and especially the civil rights campaigns and womens lib protests of the 1960's and 's. In fact every thing about those decades made me wish I lived them. i know there was bad, but people seemed to be willing to make a stance for them and there was ood too. As a student I look at with, admittedly, rose tinted specs and wish that students now did a bit more protesting and sit in types of things than the common get wasted and puke in a bin events.
Basically I felt as if I lived in an age where nothing postive happend, only negative. That the years of my childhood and first forays into adulthood would be written in to textbooks in total negative terms. Terrorism, economic misery, the Iraq war, environmental failures etc etc. I've found it hard to think I'm a part of history when it seems so bad.
And yet since last thursday morning, when I woke to a new president elect I have finally begun to feel that I will be able to be somewhat proud of this time. Its only one thing but it has brought the balance a little more level. I know that I had no influence in the vote, that I wasn't even in the country and am not directly infulenced by this change. But I finally feel that I'll be able to say, I was part of that history. Tell my grandchildren, you know I was there for the first black president, listening to the radio, following it online. My mother can remember the day JFK died, how her father (an american)reacted, she can remember where she was when Lennon was shot, and I will remember the exact events that occured to me, when I was waiting for the results on Ohio. When my grandchilden study this time I'll be able to say "I was at univerity in Liverpool, have I told you I went to uni in liverpool, and we worked much harder in our day, no thought dictation then, no we had to type every letter, individually...."

Finally got off my lazy arse and sorted out pics to put on here! How amazingly rewarding because faster than I could upload you wonderful people were leaving positive messages!
Its a wonderful feeling, being praised like that, almost child like. But now for some humility, thankyou very much for all your kind words, I cannot tell you how much it makes my heart burn with delight (too much Stardust I fear)!

I am going to try so much harder to do this more regularly now!

Basically on hols now till Sept and am awful at checking all the little things I need to, emails, DA, even faebook is being neglected!

So, not that many will care, but sorry if after 3 weeks and 56 deviations to look at, they don't.

I promise to try harder next time and check up regularly so it isn't such a chiore to go through loads at one time. Like dusting or talking to your a family member (perhapse great aunt who thinks alot of you even if your not so keen on the whiskers). Dust regularly rather than let it build up and if you chat once a week for five minutes then it will be eaier of an hourly session of trying to fill silence evey two months etc.

Anyways, I'll stop rambing, just felt and explaination for my poor conduct would be good!

It's not that I'm particularly labour or Lib Dem, green communist or otherwise. I just don't think Johnson will do London any good.

Just wanted to get it off my chest!

SO please take Mercuralis' advice and tell the world. Start conversations on the tube with commuters about the evils of palgerism!

Secondly the weird thing... Any one else noticed that in the brief period before the thumbnails load when you're browsing and all are little greyish squares...
You can see flashing grey spots at the corners of each thumbnail.
Like in the infamous optical illusion...?

Anyone?

Which is where you guys come in I have some gadgets she's designed and they need names! So if I write a brief description of them, what they do etc your idea would be awsome!

Thanks!

1) Fishing nets that catch lightening.

2) Something like the offspring of a drum and a gramaphone mixed with alot of metal pipes, wires, cogs and perhapse a bit of church orag to collect thunder.

3) A machine for sucking potential energy out of clouds. Has a nozzel and bendy pipe ( sort of like you get on a hoover even with various sized changeable nozzels) and some area to store the energy. Obviously dials and buttons and wheels etc.

4) Something that dehydrates clouds, seperating the water and minerals, salts etc. Used for water and important nutrients on long journeys. Also some surprising substances sometimes thrown up, particles of gold for example....

5)Guns that harness sunlight for amunition.

Thanks guys for any contributuions!

So the first part of this is telling you how much I love this site. Its just incredible, and the community here is brilliant too.

Sometimes though I look at all the work everyone else is doing and feel rubbish. I'm not really an artist so its not "everyone else is so much better than me, I'm just crap" because I'm well aware that there are professionals here and I don't even really come into amature catergory!

Its just that so many of you are doing exactly what you want, and appear to be totally happy in your careers. So many of you are having an amazing time in these incredible jobs (well the people I come across anyway). Yes it might not always be steady and might get stressful but in general it appears to be all good.

Which just reiterates to me how I'm not so happy in what I'm doing. Which in turn makes me feel, well bad really. I'm not sure that I'm doing the right thing for me but as I don't really know what I want and have a strangely pragmatic view about certain things I know I will stick at it until I finish regardless of how I actually feel.

I call it stubboness, my Dad says I'm determined (as it has a more positive ring).

Either way I know its not worth feeling crap for three years just because you're not going to let people see you give up. But that doesn't mean I'll do anything about it. So in three years time when I graduate I'll still be here ogling at everyone elses work and loving it but with still no idea where I',m going in lfe!
Hey ho I guess if you don't know what direction you're going in, at least enjoy the view!
