I got called a closet goth.
I was told I was scary
intelligent, attractive
self-deprecating, silly.
It means nothing when you achieved ninety-percent in a C3 mock paper.
I’ve fallen in love with core maths.
It means little in terms of skill though, luck was on my side.
I got 82% in the C2 paper, but that means little because it was my ACTUAL paper in June thus I’ve now done it twice.
How one does better in C3 than C2 is beyond me.
Still can’t do Decision either. I don’t know whats wrong with me. Nothing but Core makes sense anymore.
Hell yeah with that rhyme.
I bought the new t.A.T.u. album despite listening to the Russian version of it for over a year, it’s the best English counterpart they’ve made, but conceptually and musically Waste Management and Happy Smiles are so much better to anything they’ve done before. The Transcendent version was interesting, but in hindsight a waste of £7.99 and the “dirty” feeling every time I purchase music from iTunes. It was nice idea, but the overpowering synthy semi-industrial fillers don’t make the transitions between songs smooth enough. I was hoping for something more consistent and subtle.
There are plenty of albums I’m looking forward to next year: The Like, Los Campesinos!, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, Maroon5, LCD Soundsystem, (We Are) Performance, The Ark, Dream Evil (fingers crossed!), The Dollyrots, Girlicious, Heidi Montag, She Wants Revenge…
This year had some good offerings, I’m loving 30 Seconds To Mars’s new album despite pretty much despising their last offering and thinking they were an awful band. New stuff = epic. Lady GaGa is just amazing, that goes without saying. Tegan & Sara and Phoenix were also bloody brilliant. Lenka, Manic Street Preachers, La Roux, The King Blues, Kelly Clarkson, Ashley Tisdale…there’s probably more. Infected Mushroom should go on here too but I’ve had their newest album for months but have yet to listen to it, which is just shameful. I just can’t stop listening to Vicious Delicious!
Song of 2009 has to be Falling Down by Space Cowboy it’s been my ringtone for at least six months with nearly 300 plays and I’m not even remotely sick of it. I think the ability to lust after Space Cowboy and Chelsea Korka in the video simultaneously does help.
Nom.
