And because it makes me smile, even though it's really silly...

Oh Dear...

Procrastination Central

It's that time again... essay deadlines loom, dissertations shout out to be done and the term is drawing to a close almost as quickly as time is ticking away. Okay, so they would actually be at the same pace, but shhhhhh.

I am working very hard on my procrastination. I've written all my Christmas cards, I've checked every email, myspace, facebook, blog etc etc I can think of. I've scanned the entirety of the BBC news website. So now I am writing my blog... for no reason better than I don't know how to explain what evolution is, and how it can be applied to human behaviour... at least not in a fluid, well written 2000 words. Ach.

The last couple weeks have been eventful, but you all know that anyway (if anyone actually reads my blog anymore.. probably not)... had 2 balls, Children In Need, formal etc etc etc. I am tired, and quite frankly can't wait for the holidays to come, the lectures to end and homeward bounding to be. I'm really looking forward to seeing my family- it's been nearly 5 months!!!

It will be weird going home after all that time, though.

Can't think of anything else to say. Sorry. xxx

Stolen Thoughts...

Hello world. It’s a long time since I’ve blogged, and in that time I’ve had many an idea for what to write… some stupid, others serious… all forgotten. So instead, I thought I’d just put down some lines from films and songs that have moved or inspired me for some reason (usually pretty stupid) over the last few weeks… the ones I can remember anyway… But to make it more fun for you… I’ll not tell you where they are from- see if you can get them without Googling, hehehe…

• So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last days of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by when they're busy making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.
  

• A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world…He doesn't speak the language, he holds no currency. He is a foreign man … He looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity. He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
  

• Don't buy the daily papers any more woman, read all about what's going on in hell. They don't care to tell the world of kindness, good news never made a paper sell. There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman and symphonies of music in the sky. Heaven's all around us if you're looking, but how can you see it if you cry?
  

• Well old Bob hasn't got much but he values the time he spends growin' flowers. He still loves his babies that grew to be men… Every man is a King when he has a Princess… His old heart still races, she's still the most beautiful girl that he's met. And you ask is he happy...and you ask is he happy...? He's got wrinkles from smiling, he feels lucky and free and he knows what it means to live here in the sunshine. He’s got wrinkles from smiling.
  

• I've spent so much time thinking about all the answers to the problem, that I forget what the problem actually was. Sadness is easier because its surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free.
  

• Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time. Far past the frozen leaves, the haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea… with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves. Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
  

Hrmmn… a very odd mix, but it’s just what I could remember off the top of my head. That’s all for now folks, xxx.
