FRANZ FERDINAND. duh. |

...everyone should get the new franz ferdinand cd.
Did I see you in a limousine,
fling out the fish and the unleavened
turn the rich into wine
walk on the mean
for the fallen are the virtuous among us.
GO. BUY. LISTEN.

Pick five or more friends that need love the most off your FList and tell them that you love them. Then those friends have to do the same, until everyone is loved.
I love you, snowmadder.
I love you, pheios_ella.
I love you, australeann.
I love you, neoistheone.
I love you, seraphinangel.
I love you, raingarden.

anyone seen 21 grams?
The earth turned to bring us closer.
The earth turned to bring us closer,
it spun on itself and within us,
and finally joined us together in this dream
as written in the Symposium.
Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices;
time passed in minutes and millennia.
An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh
arrived in Nebraska.
A rooster was singing some distance from the world,
in one of the thousand pre-lives of our fathers.
The earth was spinning with its music
carrying us on board;
it didn't stop turning a single moment
as if so much love, so much that's miraculous
was only an adagio written long ago
in the Symposium's score.
--Eugenio Montejo

(at home, due to doctor's appointment, hence the LJ usage.)
say it with me: FUCKED. UP.
(most at school might not be able to read this, but i just need to get it out of my system.)
i don't really know the people who are involved this time, but i just want to say: what you did (you know who you fucking are) has cost a lot of people, such as myself, more than just your petty revenge. i hope you feel satisfied. and it's just as well i'm leaving, as, if i wasn't and they didn't unblock LJ, you'd have a lot to answer for, such as cutting me off from a lot of my friends in the states.
added to that, wycombe abbey has reached a new low. 'angry' doesn't quite cut it; nor does 'seething with fury' or 'getting out the gasoline and lighter'. this school is all about the image; they have such a long waiting list, they believe they can afford to treat those who aren't the stepford wycombe girl with massive disrespect and insensitivity because hey, there's always someone else who's willing to shell out and send their daughter here.
henceforth, i dub wycombe abbey school stepford abbey. THE place to collect your perfect sloaney daughter after 7 years of conforming! making sure that the women of the next generation will all be lawyers, doctors or politicians with 2.1 children, a dog, a loving husband and no individual thoughts or beliefs! a real, life-size, walking, talking barbie doll for your sons. congratulations on your purchase!
wycombe SM, if you're reading this, i would cordially like to remind you of freedom of speech, a rather necessary human right, and to inform you that no, i do not have an eating disorder, no, i do not self-harm, no, i don't drink or smoke or any other damaging habit other than maybe messiness, so i hope that you will not find it necessary to call me in for any reason whatsoever.

you're right here in the room with me, but still:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAZ LOTTIE!!!11!1!!
sadly i have not the skill to host a marvin like charlotte, nor is my present up to scratch, but still. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
(ps. it's final. prue is the biggest bitch on the planet. i don't care if she reads this, she deserves to know what i think. restrain me from talking to her; i might end up hitting her.)

| fix you-- coldplay |
[.] |
i've done it before, but these lyrics just require posting again. if you haven't heard the song, you must. go and hear it, somehow.
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try and fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try and fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from all of my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
♥ (less than a week)

ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. ONE MORE.
CAN'T. WAIT.
and and and it's all cool because afterwards, some people have RS so we're not leaving school till the afternoon, but carby's nanny-person is coming to get bags at around 2:30, so i'm going to hitch a ride back to london early and see marina before i leave and it's all good but none of this will make sense unless you've been with me and trying to figure out fucking london tube system and now it's all okay.
ONE MORE.
just...you know, gotta do physics. *cough*
think of me tomorrow, 11:15 local time and think just how frigging happy i will be. ^________^
