so if you're in the mood to see a girl being ripped to shreds by the reactionary fucks she thought were her friends, go to the lj of one aleskya and read the frankly appalling response to her admission that she was a republican. i came across it tonight, journal flicking to ease my boredom and tbh i was disgusted at what i saw.

our first model of intolerance is some bloke called john, wearing a beautiful mix of bigotry and self pity. SEE how he manages to stand under the weight of that enormous chip on his shoulder. MARVEL at his belief that the only election issue in the world is that of gay rights. and finally, POINT AND LAUGH hysterically as his complete inability to distinguish a person from their political leanings. i know that i have raised the stupidity bar several times myself (often all on the same day) and yet even i have trouble comprehending the incredible shortsightedness he displays as he whines like a little bitch about his civil liberties and freedom of expression and then crucifies someone for indulging in hers. doubtless if he were to read this he would assume that i am in some way commenting on his sexuality, whatever. i'm not but if thats what people would like to believe. nice little caveat that, means you never have to lose a debate again.

john is closely followed by the woman responsible for the most excruciating 2 hours of my life, albiet indirectly, when i had the misfortune to read her excreciable harry potter fanfic 'the draco trilogy', which i personally like to call 'piece of shit' or 'the waiting for my brain to stop bleeding trilogy'. i think that in reading her comments i've finally found the one thing more shaky than her grasp of plot development.

however, both of these terrifying vacuums of human thought pale in comparison when placed next to a woman named 'msscribe'. after immediately showing what a kind and tolerant person she is by stating her intention to remove the poor republican girl from her friends list forthwith, she then goes on to engage in the most hillariously undignified thing i have ever seen in my life. she and writergirl (and i use the term 'writer' loosely) practically mud wrestle to see who can be the most tolerant of john's sexuality. comments appear such as 'well i guess alyeska doesnt care much for the gay community' and 'well i think all people who arent gay should be KILLED. yeah, thats right KILLED. am i left wing enough now?'. i'm paraphrasing of course. killing straight people is an independant thought and i have trouble believing that either of these vacous losers is capable of that. if you have a spare five minutes (allow an extra five for helpless laughter) then i suggest you go check out their desperate scramble to prove how 'ok' they are with everything. it really is fun.

ok. i hate george bush. i think that The War Against Terror (aka TWAT) was the biggest fraud since milli vanilli and his policy on civil liberties and gay rights is about as forward as drilling holes in people's heads to 'let out the demons' (which i imagine could well feature on his manifesto if he keeps losing in the polls). i am not a homophobe and i am not a republican. however, i find it funny (and thats funny sad not funny ha ha- oh alright it's kinda both) that those who claim to be the good guys, those who claim to represent the party of civil liberties and freedom of choice and expression should be so fundamentally intolerant when it comes to others deciding to take advantage of said liberties. to be honest, it makes me almost ashamed to be a lefty.

we are very close to true stupidity here.

i know who reads my lj so i know that you guys will understand when i say that one week can make you unsure of everything. things have happened this week that, even at 22, i feel too young for. people i know have coped with things that i couldnt imagine dealing with.

my dad is feeling ill again. for those who don't know, he had heart surgery 5 years ago. my sister rang me a few weeks ago and said he was in hospital so i went home. he was very depressed and also scared shitless, although he'd never admit it. he kept making I'll Be Gone Soon jokes that no-one laughed at. it turned out to be a virus but he still doesnt feel great. my parents do so much for me. they're paying for my masters. its a creative writing MA. fun, yeah but it wont get me anywhere. its just an excuse to slack for another year and it wont pay for their country cottage in the pennines or wherever the hell it was they wanted to retire to. they know this as well, i've told them this. but they're paying for it anyway. so i can have fun. and i only ever ring them when i want something. my mum is 50 and she works so hard that she can't keep awake at 7 in the evening. and i take her money. so what does that say? whether i ignore it or not my dad has a heart condition. he might never know that i meant to buy him the cottage.

my sister is clinically depressed and she's in amsterdam. you know the one thing that really interferes with her prozac, really fucks with it? marijuana. and she's in bloody amsterdam. and before you ask, no. she's not going for the rich culture, or the beautiful architecture or the cheap sex. she's been ringing me a lot more recently.

my friends this week have had crap heaped on them that no-one should have to deal with. my family are coping with things that i want so much to be able to take away but i can't. and i truly don't know what to think anymore except that i'm kind of frightened and very, very tired.

oh god

... i'm watching the 100 most scary moments on channel 4. most of em are just funny but they showed theatre of blood, which is truly terrifying. this actor goes after all the critics who panned his shows and kills them in the manner of shakespeare. lets just say you dont wanna see the titus andronicus one. ick.

well i have to say...

2004-08-27T21:23:50Z

.. today achieved new levels of sucking. i left my old job (working in a fish and chip shop) because i was growing increasingly sick of having to pander to morons. Now i sell lottery tickets. Are we noticing a pattern here? So today i spent half an hour explaining to an old lady, for whom personal hygiene was evidently just a wacky eccentricity, why she had not won the 9m jackpot simply because she 'had a feeling' that she had. Honestly, i nearly wept.

However, on the plus side my dole came through today. So at least i won't starve anymore. Much. Just went to the Spar and bought 17 pounds worth of healthy, green stuff which will undoubtedly be left to rot, silently reproaching me everytime i walk into the kitchen to cook a pizza. I could eat it but we all know i won't. I also bought cigarettes. I loathe myself. I have all the willpower of Bill Clinton at a cheerleaders convention.

I can, at least, feel slightly proud of myself for managing to install broadband ALL BY MYSELF! Well... kind of, anyway. They gave me a cd to install but my computer wouldn't let me do it so it rang ntl technical support and had a faintly comic conversation with the amusingly patronising bloke on the phone.

Me: This is unfamiliar. I am scared and confused. Assist me.
Him: Okay, well firstly you'll have to access the C.Htm.KL flange folder. Can you find the DMS Run menu?
Me: (sweating slightly) Is that the group of number in the corner of the screen?
Him: (loud sigh) That's the clock.

And thus passed the afternoon.

ok, first things first:

2.1!!! ohhh yeah. very tired now - stayed up all night waiting for results, jabbering to myself and alternating between crying and laughing hysterically, ie: 'still not clean! stink of failure!'. but it was ok. and now i just feel...drained. 4 years of toil all ended in one single day. it seems so arbitrary somehow.

anyway i followed this nerve jangling treat with another delight, a fabulously invasive exam at my cheery local doctor's office. do they FREEZE their hands prior to this???? i ask you. they could at least blow on them first. it was practically torture. anyway everything seems to be in order, so woo me.

and now, i'm going home to sleep. yawn.

ok so it's 12 minutes past seven and i just finished reading The Most Awful Book In The History Of The World Ever TM. Actually it's a very good book but it's about child abuse and nigh on unreadable at times. Feel a little guilty being happy now, feel insensitive like i'm setting up a cake stall next to a shantytown or insisting on watching the boxing in a women's shelter. i'm a bad person i think.

first england match in thirty minutes, which i intend to watch here, at cath and james', before finally GOING HOME. truly i am a wonderful house guest who anyone would be pleased to have crash on their sofa. but you can have to much of a good thing, lol. no, really. i need to leave them alone before they give in to the urge to cut me.

ok, so.. it's funny you know. you only realise how utterly dull your life is when you actually have to write about it. got up, drank an orange reef, watched high fidelity, walked into uni, questioned the sexuality of three ten year old boys to their faces, returned some library books, did nothing. hmmm. don't you just WISH you were me?

everyone in my house has gone home for a while so i'm on my own. i used to LOVE that. odd. it's just boring now. anyway. going to go get some books out and go home. too hot. need a cigarette.

do you smoke?
do you drink?
stronger drugs?
your favourite activity
you are	Fed up of life and humanity
you wish you were	Quieter
you hope	You find somebody brilliant who understands you
people think you are	Always thinking of the same
intelligent people though, think you are	Trashy
but, really, you're just	A wild horse
