Well I gave up chocolate a few months ago when I went vegan. And I 'gave up' my mobile phone a few hours ago, when I lost it. Hah. I suck.
Bad times, though. I am just not having much luck lately.

Does anybody else get these ads? With the before and after pictures (which are always very clearly not even the same person) - "Givvus yer cash and we'll tell you the secret to not being so disgusting-looking, you fat, ugly creature". Surely there is no 'secret' to weight loss? Eating right, exercising regularly and being patient. Everybody knows that!
For the record I don't eat too healthy, I am too lazy to exercise and I have the patience of an ADD kid on caffeine. So I am not in the least skinny or healthy. But the bottom line is: I don't give a shit. People who fall prey to these things need to get over themselves.

It's weird when you think of one point in your life that is seemingly inconsequential, and then you realise that if you hadn't done one thing a certain way, or made a slightly different decision, it would have affected another part of your life which would have affected another, and so on. Mindfuck really. I wonder if my life would be better or worse, of just different, if things played out differently.
What little thing in your life do you reckon had an unexpectedly major impact on your future? Let me know, I find this fascinating.

brooding
I obviously don't enjoy returning to school/work. Because I am not delusional. That is simply ridiculous, who on earth looks forward to work?
The thing i love about weekends is not having to do anything. Although actually weekends are a moot subject because I'm (supposed to be) working constantly, what with essays and reading, screenings and dissertation research, and then actual bring-in-the-money work too. In fact I do work weekends so really my free time comes to me only when I decide I don't want to do any more work. Which is often.
I know I've said it many times but my ideal job would be getting paid to do nothing. Because I am actually rather good at doing nothing, and not that good at much else so I would like a career in a field I excel at.
This said, I do love my job. Maybe too much for a Christmas Temp, I'd be well upset if they don't keep me on.
I don't think I've ever consciously noticed just how ridiculous Knight Rider is. Like, I think I must have taken its utter ridiculousness for granted. We all know it's a ridiculous show with a ridiculous concept but next time you watch it, take note of just how far it goes to appear ridiculously ridiculous.
I love it.

If you could go back in time to another decade, which decade would you choose and why? Would you want to return or stay there? What if you could bring one other person with you? Submitted By |
I'd like to travel within my own lifetime (the 80's yeah). Waking to find myself trapped in the past, probably driven by an unknown force to change history for the better or some such. If I could bring someone else? Well my only guide on this jounrney would be Al, an observer from my own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only I can see and hear, of course. So I'd find myself striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping, each time, that the next leap... well you know the rest.
But seriously, yeah, I'm pretty sure I answered this question in Writer's Block before. And said the same thing, the eighties. Not too imaginative or daring but yeah. Good decade.

drksnksyndromeI decided I should draw more. I might not have three tablets or anything but I do have lots of spare time (or time that should be spent writing essays anyway). I knocked up something fun superquick while I was also half-watchin' Last Night with my housemates and waiting for the Trick-or-Treaters who never came.( cuttt )
Those are definitely not my words. I think I read somewhere that this dialogue was ad-libbed, but I could very possibly be making that up completely. I think quite a lot of The Professionals seems improvised 'cos they must have done like one quick take for each scene then moved right on to the next, mistakes or sudden improvisations be damned. "Never mind! Edit it out later! No time to reshoot!" I've probably said that enough times myself, hah. Man. British telly budgets, ey?

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why? Submitted By |
John McClane. At least it'd be an interesting date. Though most of the places you'd take a gal to wine and dine her have a certain dress policy and given McClane's apparent aversion to wearing shoes, we might end up in McDonalds or some such.
And between trying to escape from the building - which will inevitably become terrorist-infested - and him banging on about his ex-wife over the dinner, I'd probably not call him back.
Personally I could care less about the sofas but I think my landlord might say differently. Oh, stupid cat. Ideas, anybody?

I just swallowed ANOTHER lip bar, MAN. Now I remember why I prefer to wear a ring. Haha. I ingested about 4 of them before I finally decided to switch to a lip ring instead. I'm only back to bars now cos Disney don't like facial piercings and bars are easier to take out. But the problem is that they are actually too easy to take out and they keep coming loose accidently while I'm eating and I keep swallowing them. Haha. Shit.

But actually, it's giving up milk that is absurdly difficult, even more so than chocolate for sure. We have a good brand here called Alpro which is the most popular soy milk brand (for good reason) but it's not as great as the American brand Silk. Miss that stuff already.

And America in general. Really bad times. I'm gonna miss:
1) Magic Hat. Best beer ever.
2) Forever 21. I spent too much money on clothes here. and now I can't get my suitcase to close, great.
3) Strand. I also spent too much money on books I'll never read.
4) Texting Julissa. For srs.
5) Being a size 10. HA.
6) 24 hour EVERYTHING. Especially 24 hour metro. It wasn't always reliable (okay, it was NEVER reliable) but at least it didn't close at 12am and leave you stranded in Oxford Circus like some Underground systems. Pssh.
7) Hulu.com - great website, especially when I didn't have a TV.
8) Pretty much everything else. I'm so sad to be leaving all the great friends I made here because I'm pretty certain I'll never see them again :( We just had a little 'Mel is leaving' do at our 'local' and it was bittersweet cos it was fun times but I'm very upset about going. I know I'm young and have plenty of time and NY is not going anywhere, but the people I've met are and that's what really gets me.
And I hate airports. I am not looking forward to tomorrow at all. FML.
