Reblogging because you are my favourite, always.
To do: the 2010 list.
Taking a cue from hollywood-romance and saturrrday and also because I can’t function without lists, here are my new year’s resolutions. Consider it a to do list for 2010:
- get down to 125 lbs, give or take.
- get another job once temp Waterstones contract is over. being unemployed sucks.
- go to the gym regularly.
- read more.
- focus on uni work more. actually go to class...
baby, you're pretty but I'm pretty sure I'm over...

Currently reading:
- Grunge: The End Of Rock & Roll by Kyle Anderson
because it’s semi-related to my degree, the back cover describes Nevermind, Ten & Badmotorfinger as seminal (which is true) and because grunge changed everything.
- Appetite For Self Destruction by Steve Knopper
because I am a music industry geek
- The Outside by Albert Camus
because Ali told me to.
- Steppenwolf by Hermann...
So show me something we haven't heard yet, but...
I totally, 100% back Rage Against The Machine being the UK christmas number one. It’s an awesome “fuck you” to boring, bland, pre-packaged ‘music’ and it’s nice that people still give a shit.

“How long is it polite to pretend to continue to listen to someone after they’ve revealed they’ve got a boyfriend…… I think eleven seconds.”
Right, I now that does sound a tad harsh but it’s so true. I love meeting new people and becoming familiarised with people of my hometown but no matter how enjoyably you’re conversation may be, if a girl does...

Sometimes I think that I would like nothing more in the world than to get high & talk about life with John Mayer.

I still don’t fully get the end of fight club…like how he kills him and not himself. meh.
That’s because the movie ending is technically “wrong” (although I’ve always liked it better because I’m not quite as bleak and cynical as I like to make out) and doesn’t make sense. Just accept it.

New Found Glory vs All Time Low
Something Corporate vs Jack’s Mannequin
Midtown vs Cobra Starship
Explain your answers!
I think I know who this is from and you ain’t gonna like my answers haha
All Time Low because, although I’m a fan of NFG, I don’t love all of their choons. Whereas All Time Low I pretty much love all of them…even the one that...
John Mayer is my favourite male vocalist ever.
Seriously. His voice incredible, it’s nuanced and sexy and completely flawless and he’s an exceptional songwriter and I am fully willing to fight anyone who disagrees.

konstantines:

My top five Beatles songs:
- Come Together
- Eleanor Rigby
- Yesterday (but for intensely personal reasons)
- A Day In The Life
- Across the Universe
I also think Hey Jude is one of the best rock songs ever written of all time.
I think everyone should at least try to appreciate them (but I only thing...
