    Pulled out my cd player and my hardcopy, (cd), collection. Three massive binder cases, I forgot I had some of this stuff. Feeling vintage. :agreed:

    I have so many things to do, but I haven't gone mad yet. So that's what I'm thankful for.

    Finally managed to get out and take a nice long walk between rainstorms. Usually, it's too cold or when it's warm it rains all day. I'm starting to daydream about taking a day trip and going hiking, which I haven't done since last year.

    I've decided April is going to be my self-love revolution month.

    Well, I submitted a poem of publication consideration. We'll see how it goes. At least I have the gall to try.

    Edit: I sent out another!

    Good luck with that. I`m guessing it`s the waiting that`s the hard part, but I wish you well.

    dunno if i should be happy or not, but i applied for my student finance for Uni this morning, kinda nervous, but looking forward to the prospect of getting a degree.

    However,

    I posted my first album review on a heavy metal music website, and been told (by the site owner) that my writing style is good (and that he likes it.)

    could this be a future?

    Are you further out than Cumnor? (That's about the furthest I've biked into Oxford town.)

    There really is nothing more soothing and self-care like than being productive, for me. To quote a great detective, my mind rebels at stagnation. Hopefully I can turn the last 2 months of the semester into something great, or continue being great, and focusing on myself.

    That sounds great. :)

    I tried to write music reviews a few years ago but never really knew what to say.

    Finished the second draft of a small project. I cost me my sleep, but I got it. Now I just have to avoid falling asleep in class and failing a bunch of assignments. :bigconfused:

    Think I better go get a few cans of Monster.

    I had planned (for tomorrow) a ride all around the Wrekin...and then I saw the weather forecast, with warnings for serious wind...so, yeah, further out than Cumnor!

    OMG! My cousin updated her FaceBook page to tell everyone she got a new toilet. :eek:

    I am happy my life is more interesting than that.

    I wonder if the toilet would have appreciated it, after all most of them seem a little shy.

    Got sent through my first promo to review, tell you what I actually think i might enjoy reviewing albums, its like free music for my opinion on something,

    with this one, im getting a Industrial Metal meets Metalcore mash up kinda vibe - it actually isn't as bad as it looks written down!

    I've just got a new toilet.

    And the rest of the flat to go with it in Takapuna. It is a relief to be out of motels, but I currently have no furniture other than a bed.
