Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys

Hello! I do believe I am home. At last!

I kid, a little anyway. It is good to be home, but I enjoyed my holiday(s) loads. A quick recap for those interested:

Istanbul - Beautiful city, the bazaar rocks, school stuff was so-so, had great fun, drank far too much. Have made new friends, which is *weird*

Norway - Very pretty nature, have no clue where precisely we were, spent a lot of time sailing which was great, however ferrys suck. Started The Historian which is wonderful, if very, very creepy.

Bath - Very pretty girlfriend, was incredibly nice, Bristol is strange, however I had a lovely time.

And there we go. My vacation in sentence fragments, for your enjoyment.

And now that I am home, I have gone straight into panicking about my application. But I have made a good start today, at least - I just need a referee, to write up my reference, then to write up my grades and we're golden. Or at least we should be. I'd hate to think I just spent an hour paring my stupid personal statement down to 4,000 characters for nothing. That would leave me a little bitter.

However, there is one small thing. I can't decide whether I want to apply to Newcastle, Leicester or Reading for my sixth university. Well, okay, that's a lie - I want to apply to Newcastle [AAB, which incidentally would leave me with 3 universities demanding AAB, 2 asking for ABB and Lancaster needing a BBB. So the question is: do I switch it to Leicester [ABB], Reading [BBB] or do I leave it as it is, with Newcastle? And as is with all these kinds of crisis, I put the question to my friendslist. I trust in your wisdom.

Meanwhile, Jamie Cullum is actually incredibly good. His new album, anyway. Particularly Londom Skies. And his version of Fascinating Rhythm. And Photographs, which is actually very Billy Joel-esque. With a side of jazz.

Oh, and you know what else is good? Having my computer back. *hugs it* Never leave me again, baby!

you should try it in heels!

My happy place is so damn cute )

I find that high school students make about as much sense in a discussion as actual members of the Danish parliament. I'm not sure if that says more about us or them. Political café today, about Turkey's admission into the EU. Worringly, the man from the Danish Folks Party was rather charming and well spoken. Eek, very scary!

I am currently watching what seems to be a rather homoerotic movie, though I may just be confused because it involves Robert Carlyle, Alan Cumming and is produced by Gary Oldman. It's really hilarious though - in the style of A Knight's Tale except well pulled off. Really well pulled off. And I swear, Robert Carlyle's character (Plunkett) is head over heels for McCleane. Or at least wants to jump his bones. It's quite sweet, in a warped kind of yay!historic!fucked-up-itty-ness way. The plot? Two men become highway robbers in, what I'm guessing is, 1700th century England. Of course it doesn't go smoothly, and there's campiness and the pox and sex and just general ridiculousness and greatness. It's called Plunkett & McCleane and I very much recommend it, if you're looking for something light and easy. And weird.

Did I mention it has a very sexy Liv Tyler in it? Mm-hm.

Meanwhile my dad has started working again. It's really strange not having him around all the time; I never thought I'd miss it, but I do. Hm.

Also, I am a sucker for a gospel choir. In case you were wondering. A gospel choir or a piano and I'm sold and bought and quite possibly squealing on the floor in glee! I am easy, I tell you.

Has anyone seen [livejournal.com profile] myhappyface lately?

Waitin' On A Sunny Day

Just watched Bruce Springsteen: Live in Barcelona (DVD)

~Bruce/E-Street Band is religion/politics/sex/passion/power/desire/want/idealism/strength all wrapped together. As my dad put it, the complexity is it's simplicity.

~If my dad goes to another Bruce Springsteen concert without getting me a ticket, heads are going to roll

~I need a Springsteen and/or Patti Scialfa icon

~I am so taking A-Level Spanish

~My dad made his first slash pairing and I quote "I mean. Bruce and Steven(guitar and vocals) are practically married. Look at them!" I didn't see it, but my dad swears they can read each others mind. That, I did see.

~Patti is possibly the sexiest woman in rock'n'roll

~My reveiw for English is going to be about this concert. Because if there ever was a chance to test my vocabulary, this is it.

~Bruce Springsteen is not good looking. However, he is so passionate and string that he oozes charm and sexiness. Strange.

~The passion shown by the whole band is what you need to be a leader. You need that passion, that devotion and that much caring.

I will stop spamming and go to bed now.
