Pork Pies and no money

I have suddenly got a penchant for pork farms original pork pie, they were only £1 in the local tesco express, and they filled me up so much, now i'm started to get a bit porked out, i would have that for main course and then dessert would be chocolate peanuts!

Who says student life is boring! not with my diet, ha.

Well i'm back up in the north this weekend, to my dismay, i enjoy seeing tania and its my best friend stag do, which will be really nice, but chorley doesnt have depress me! and i rather like london, even know its expensive and rude.

But anyhoo, i'm going to download loads of indie travel podcasts ready for the 6 hour journey back (btw thats the same time to get to texas on a plane) oh well i like seeing the scenary and the people you see and hopefully talk to on the coach!

Student culture

hi all

Hope you like the new setup i have!

Well tonight at my uni is fabric night! and i must be one of the few students not going from the halls, and i'm glad to be honest. I really don't get the whole drinking thing, it wastes money and makes you unhealthy so why do it?

I know i eat loads of chocolate and i do other thing that arent the best for me, but i really want to keep hold of my sense when i go out, it's my view that binge drinking and the acceptance for all policy at university is reducing the quality of graduates. I recognise that student through out time have had a history of heavy drinking but, i'm sure they are a much more intelligent lot!

The feeling i get very often is you dont often see an intelligista drnking 10 pints of stella on a regular basis, anywhere else in society it would be considered as alcoholism, but in this one, the society seems to glorify binge drinking, like its a must thing to do. I've often heard of students saying to me, "oh you need to drink to have fun"

Are these people such zombies that they need drink to be sociable? how do they cope having fun without alcohol, my gosh they seem like fun people.

I'am of course widely generalizing, and these are just my thoughts about things, feel free to disagree with them!

Radio 6

Well i just thought i would post something a bit more cheery!

I stumbled upon radio 6 just before christmas and if your my friend then 95% of the time you'll be into the same music as i, well this station is right up my street, its a blend of new indie, folk any sort of music you can think of, and whats even better is the presenters know their music and you can tell it.

So in short you all should lend your ears to this fabulous radio show!

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ and go for radio 6!

A weekend with the wild things!

well well dear reader, what a manic weekend this has been! started of with getting up at a time that doesnt exist on a saturday morning to meet my fellow blogger emily meade and my drawer, film critic amigo angus dick and the poetress that is rachel gorden.

We went to see where the wild things are, which is a pretty special film, capturing a childhood with all its pains and problems, but having enough sweetness to give you a warm glow! The whole filming of it is just the best, its not so perfect as all these CGI films, and you can tell, but i think this is a real plus and not a negative!

Well after the movie we kinda wondered back to the tube station, where our adventure began. i've probably done the most traveling this weekend just in london ever, it felt like one epic journey and by the time i was at golders green tube station, i was tired, cold, hungry and just felt like crying!

The party was good, however i always feel like a crap dancer hahah, oh well sometimes you gotta push yourself out of the comfort zone to experiance the sweetness of life.

I think i need to do that more, i'm not really tasting the sweetness, rather the bitterness of life and money worries! I sometimes feel like i'm not really keeping my head above the water, i dont know if you the reader feels the same, but for me i just wanna be somewhere that i feel comfortable in.

Oh well i think i'm tired and down, but i love spending time with real people who have real likes and interests, none of this fake stuff you get, i havent known them for long but hopefully its the start of a great friendship! well this is me for the night, good night reader.............................................................................
