Domestic Violence
So, I'm up late now talking to a friend on facebook who's just been assaulted by her (now ex) boyfriend and taken to hospital for stitches in her head. The ambulance assistant said to her, apparently trying to console, that she was the third battered girlfriend they'd taken in that night. THAT NIGHT. Fucking horrendous.

Feeling like shit because I got facebook de-friended (lol)
Two people de-friended me on facebook, which doesn't sound like a big deal but it makes me feel like shit. One was the bitchy friend-of-a-friend I hate, so I don't mind so much about that, although since I've never let her know I feel anything bad towards her even though she always makes snide comments at me and tries to leave me out of things, I don't understand why she has to make a public statement by removing me to her facebook - I don't do her any harm. It just seems like she wants to make an unnecessarily spiteful point...but I don't understand what's supposed to be so terrible about me. The other one is someone who, although I don't talk to them that much anymore, I didn't think had a problem with me, I thought we were casual friends...I asked a mutual friend why and he says it's because I am bisexual :(. She has decided it's against her religion so cut of all contact with me. I know I should just be grateful for the friends I do have, but I just feel really inadequate right now. I'm kind, friendly, I don't take myself too seriously, I'm a bit shy but I try hard to overcome it without being pushy, but it's hard when people make you feel unwanted. I just don't understand what it is about me. After this I had a huge panic attack where I couldn't breathe, got stomach pains and shook all over...I'm having them more and more, recently :( ETA: Just checked mutual gay friends and not only have we all been defriended by the religious girl, we've all been de-friended by the bitchy bitch too! Is it bad that that makes me feel a lot better, that there's a chance it could be something other than my terrible personality? TIME TO COMMENCE COMFORT EATING. | | Wednesday, October 12th, 2011 | | 5:17 am |

BACK
HAI GUIZ I'M BACK :). I've returned from France (if anyone is ever in Honfleur, Normandy I'd like to recommend a restaurant. Unfortunately I can't remember the name :s But it is on or on the corner of Rue de l'Homme de Bois and it's very small and filled with vintage telephones and stuff for some reason, my point being I can't speak for any of the other dishes but the Noix de St Jacques is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten! Try it! It's Lovely!) my internet is finally fixed and the disgusting exam I missed in June (chest infection and flu) is thankfully over with (unless I have to RE-sit, obviously) OH HOORAY FOR ME. | | Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 | | 11:37 pm |

That awkward moment when you...
Hate, I mean HATE someone, but they're in your immediate circle of friends...I don't know what to do, I try to just ignore her because I'm not the sort of two-faced person who licks arse to someone they can't stand, but I keep feeling this desperate craving to tell her exactly what I think of her. I feel like I'm being dishonest and I hate that, but at the same time I don't want to cause a massive shit-fest cause I don't like drama within a social group at all, so I can't really say anything. But she's driving me fucking nuts. | | Friday, June 24th, 2011 | | 12:22 am |
Dear Pubs, why do you play really loud music?
My friends and I are not here to dance. If we wanted to dance, WE'D BE IN A CLUB. If we're just chilling in the pub it implies we just want to kick back, have a few drinks, and, I don't know, TALK TO EACH OTHER? Maybe this is a bigger problem than average for me and my mates since one of my best uni friends is a Korean exchange student who already has English as her second language, but does anyone else tire of having to shout at each other in bars, when you came there to SOCIALISE? | | Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 | | 10:12 pm |
List of Things That Are Quite Harmless But I Really Hate Them Anyway
Obviously I also hate stuff like racists and muggers, but I'm sticking to harmless pet peeves because the idea is to purge my negativity. 1.)Men who say "Women aren't funny" as a rule. For example, there's a facebook group for this, full of men who seem to think not only are they fucking hilarious just for being men, but they're being extra funny for joining the group. Dear Men, at least half of YOU are not funny. And 99.9999% of you aren't as funny as you think you are. Women laugh at your jokes to get laid, because we know you lot need your egos masturbated all the time. Also, we generally have lower alcohol tolerance than you, so we tend to enjoy ourselves more than your company warrants. - 1b.)Men (because it is nearly always men) who think misogyny/racism/homophobia are innately hilarious. Yes, sexist/racist/etc. jokes CAN be hilarious. CAN. Not ALWAYS ARE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Like the "sandwich joke", that got old a loonnnng time ago. 2.)Women over the age of 14 who still refer to their father as "Daddy". - 2b.)Women over the age of 10 who refer to themselves as a "Daddy's Girl". It's infantilising, creepy, and it just has these incestuous vibes D: -2c.)Women with TATTOOS that say "Daddy's Girl". THAT MY FRIENDS, IS AN ABOMINATION. 3.)"Straight Edge" people. Not drinking is suspicious enough by itself if you don't have some excuse like being a recovering alcoholic or a Muslim, but say if you don't drink or smoke JUST SAY "No thanks, I don't drink/smoke" like a normal human being. If you're excuse is "But I don't do drugs either" well, when I'm talking to people, do you think my default assumption is your a smackhead or something? The main thing sXe (so fucking scene it physically hurts me to type it) people have as their line of defence is "Well you wouldn't dare say that to a SxE crew where I live cause you'd get fucked up". No, you twats, that doesn't make me respect you more. That aggressive attitude is exactly why I don't respect you AND why I think it would do you some good to calm yourself down with a blunt and a beer. I hate sports/gym culture in general, the whole cocktail of machismo, competitiveness, violent undertones and self-righteousness. StraightXEdge gym cunts rake it up to the nth degree. 4.)People on the internet who describe themselves as "very intelligent". Show, don't tell. And they usually misspell things or misuse a word in the process. 5.)The term "lad". You know, some male person goes out and does something completely average and is praised with "What a LAD." Why is their no female equivalent? Why is everything men do innately brilliant? When females do the same thing, it's usually either seen as douche-y or it's just plain ignored as being normal, fun, human behaviour. If you're at Uni in the UK, watch out for this, it's everywhere and you probably haven't noticed the implications. Watch out for the completely mundane things your male friends get patted on the back for. Cause they're LADS. And you're just a girl, which is shit, whatever you do. 6.)Goody-two-shoes people who describe themselves as having "high moral standards" - implicitly implying that "normal" people are filthy selfish degenerates - when the fact is the only thing they're basing their inflated self-opinion on is the fact they're a virgin. If your hymen could cure world hunger I would see it, but otherwise, just no. This comes across sounding like it's aimed at a specific person. It's not. Know why it's not. Becaus there are a million of them. 7.)People (well, it's always women, but if it was a man it would probably be extra-disturbing) with really high-pitched voices. 8.)The fact really tall (or, in my case, over 5 foot3 :( ) people always sit in front of you at the cinema. 9.)That one guy at shows/clubs who pogoes too much, and it's just annoying. 10.)The fact shop assistants look at you like your insane if you don't want a receipt. I don't want a receipt because I just bought a fucking sandwich, what are you expecting me to do, take a bite and return it? I suppose this could happen, but yeah. 11.)People talking on their mobile phones but its just an earpiece which you can't really see. Because I always think they're talking to me. Because I'm narcissistic like that. Imma come back to this and add stuff every time I get annoyed. Which is always. Because I'm misanthropic like that. ETA: 12.) "HIgh Fashion Grunge". The thing that makes grunge fashion awesome is you can just wear your old clothes/shit you got in a charity shop/out of a bin. Spending £2000 on a pair of ripped up jeans defeats the whole point. Just rip up your own jeans if you want them ripped, you ridiculous poser. | | 1:25 pm |

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SHIT I'VE HAD WITH THIS COMPUTER LATELY
And now it's actually been "fixed" (there are still problems...) all the programmes have been wiped. How the fuck am I supposed to write all my essays without Microsoft Word? I wanted to come back and announce my triumphant return to the internet but I'm going back to the Computer People today ugh ugh ugh. Even lolcats can't solve this... | | Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 | | 7:09 pm |

My problem with religion
Religion uses threats and bribery. In the same way that a confession under duress is invalid in court, I would consider someone's behaviour, if chiefly motivated by threats and bribery, to be morally redundant. This leaves me in a conundrum where I feel I can't be a sincerely moral person and a Christian at the same time, although Christianity teaches the other way round :s. For example, if there is a God who sends people to eternal torment, I cannot support that morally. But Christian teaching would say that I have to accept whatever God does and that I am automatically evil if I am in conflict with God. But I don't see what's moral about keeping your opinion quiet out of fear. If I said I felt that was OK for God to do, I'd just be being dishonest... :S I'm not saying that Christians/Muslims/Jews etc. can't be good people, because they obviously can, and mostly are. But doesn't it diminish a person's "goodness" if they're doing it out of what is effectively self-interest? Tangentally related, my friend Katy has joined a strange church. I say church, they don't have an actual church, they meet in the rugby ground...and they're very small...my other friend Jamie was telling me that Katy had been approached by these people and they basically threatened her with hellfire and said she had demons in her or some shit, and she needed to join their church to be saved. Jamie said he was freaked out by this (as was I) because that sounds morally unscrupulous and, well, cult-ish, although he said they hadn't said it to her in a threatening manner but more as if it was a matter of fact, but to me that doesn't change the fact it is still a threat. Jamie was obviously troubled (this is Jamie the boy, by the way - I have two friends called Jamie, one who's a girl and one who's a boy, but I can't remember if I've ever mentioned either of them here before so idk if that needed to be clarified) but he seemed to think it was OK now because Katy had joined their church so she wasn't afraid of their threats any more. But if they use emotional blackmail to get someone IN the church, they might carry on doing things like that. To explain about Katy, she has some mental issues; in fact, she was only fairly recently discharged from treatment for anorexia. I understand she can join whatever religion she wants (although I'm hoping she doesn't go all weird), but I'm seriously quite worried that these people are taking advantage of her vulnerability, and that Katy herself is just going to transfer the same issues that caused her anorexia and self-harm and channel them into the area of religion, using it as a vehicle to punish herself. Funnily enough, she isn't from a strict or relgious background...in fact her parents are Wiccans... Current Mood:  confused | | 5:00 pm |
GRUMPY. SO GRUMPY.
Given up smoking for Lent, already grumpy. And now my flatmate has tons of cheap cigarettes from Dubai to sell. AUHAEUBUQ. My cousin was caught in the earthquake in Japan :O. She's in Tokyo, so she wasn't in the worst of it and she's OK but I was absoutely bricking it when I read the news this morning. It seems like whenever there's a tsunami one of my cousins is there. | | Thursday, March 10th, 2011 | | 1:06 pm |
