DENIAL IS WORKING!
Ministers back 'national service' from age seven
Under the plans, university students would have to complete 100 hours of compulsory civic service over three years. Those aged 18 to 24 would be entitled to means-tested grants and subsidised loans, similar to those on offer to university students, to take part in full-time service schemes to help society. (via)
Great, because I’ve got time whilst doing a full-time degree, and a part-time job (against medical advice - I’m a saint. Aren’t I a saint?) to fund said degree, to do 100 hours civic service. Unlike some, in terms of money and any career aspirations I’m allowed to have, I cannot afford to get an average degree. So everything comes a distant second to writing up notes from Barry Winter’s lecture on gypsies, including proposals from thinktanks.
Add in the fact I work all through the summer and do volunteer work for mental health programmes and you, guardian.co.uk article, have me irrationally pissed off. Or will you be increasing the student loans to go along with it? Rant over, sorry.
I’m about to start crying. Where’s my furry box? :(
WHO NEEDS A FURRY BOX WHEN YOU’VE GOT..
WHO NEEDS A FURRY..
fuck it now i want one too :’(
Aw, I’d share mine with you but there’s the slight problem of THEY’VE STILL NOT SENT THE FUCKING THING! It cost me so much money too, Meysell, my only shoes have holes in them, I’m living off mars bars and cheap coffee!
It looks so beautiful… :’(
I want my fucking furry box Warner Brothers. I’m seriously wanting to go American Psycho on all of you ‘till I get it.
GHGHGHHHTHHHHBHGHHFHFHFHF LUCKY.
I COULD ONLY AFFORD THE SINGLE DISC VERSION
I’m a student living on £15 a week (gawd knows what that converts as nowadays), I had to sell precious, precious vinyl to get it. I could go on a huge rant about the dispicable ****s I go to uni with (I stress, not all) who just ask mummy and daddy for money, but I’ve been told my bitterness, bile and anger shouldn’t be encouraged. I shouldn’t have posted the gif version of THAT IT’S MAKING ME EVEN MORE ENRAGED. I SHOULDN’T EVEN BE ON HERE I’VE GOT TOO MUCH WORK TO DO. THIS IS YOUR FAULT WARNER BROTHERS.
I’m either going to going on a rampage round Warner Brothers HQ or start a class war. First, back to the corner and more crying.

The internet makes me want to cry. Especially you, tumblr.
I’m nearly 21 years old and I have no attention span. This is obviously the fault of the internet, not mine. This weekend has seen an all time productivity low and I’m getting kinda depressed over it. I have so much work to do, work that should have been done today. Why hasn’t it? Because I was posting pictures of Steven Drozd in drag to my tumblr.
Time to sit in the corner and cry again. No doubt I’ll get distracted by a bit of dust.
I am not a violent person.
Having said that, I’d very much like to punch my flatmate in the face. Right on her nose. Just once would be enough. Honestly, you’ve got to be a proper cnut for me to even consider expending enough energy to hit you - but for me to expose my beautiful, innocent tumblr followers to such imagery?
Anyway, if this tumblr ever goes without an update for a few weeks, you know two things: I’ve been arrested for GBH; Patrick is not updating in my absence because he’s a lazy bastardo.
I think I may have finally figured out the tumblarity thing - neglect your tumblr for a few days and it skyrockets! This is just a note to say things will be even slower here for a while given I broke my external hardrive the other day, losing a lot of music in the process. Mix that with the shocking lack of broadband in England’s North West countryside, and you’ve got me spending days and days OCD-rebuilding my library, whilst also trying to fit in work and academic stuff.
Patrick is still posting, but he’s nothing if not lazy. Likewise, he doesn’t have access to his music, but that’s because he’s on holiday in New York. The bastard.
In other news, new music from The Dodos!
I miss all the good stuff.
“Patrick’s in New York, lets send Kraftwerk and Mark Kermode up there whilst he’s away!”
I’m not bitter. Not one bit.
I had written a great big massive post about how I was missing Manchester despite having been in New York (have I mentioned that?) for all of about five minutes but firefox crashed. Basically:
- pathetic homesick Mancs like myself, or people simply interested in Manchester/the North West/city landscapes, are urged to check out the above photo In Real Life here, this bloke and his forums;
- I’m both incredibly bitter about, and in awe of my Limerick-born, Wythenshawe-college’d, handsome (think Clooney Season 5 ER), DUMBO living cousin’s life and knowledge about everything ever - and his house;
- I’m now off to cry in a corner of said house;
- I hope to have stopped crying before embarking on my Greenwich Village stalking session later on today.
