Moved

Having had enough pf Blogdrive (I've been here ages), I've decided to move on. You can now find me at: http://acaciathorns.info or just click here

Bye bye Blogdrive. It was nice knowing you *hugs*

Thanks to my loyal visitors and commentors. Please do not hesitate to visit the new site.

Oh, and if you have a link to this, please update your sites. (Also if you have 800 x 600 resolution, the new blog site will look funny)

Response to Questions

In response to the question/suggestion thing that I had promised to answer:

Kim: Write a list of 5 things you enjoy doing in London at the moment.

1. Running around taking photos of/ looking at the Spring flowers in bloom
2. (weirdly) Learning a lot of interesting theoretical concepts related to archaeology.
3. Just buming around, and chatting to people, and 'chilling'.
4. Eating chocolate :)
5. Listening to Rosie Thomas (and Tori Amos, of course)!

Mads:... (more)

The fuzzy, sour complicated feeling of weirdness...

My cousin left for South America on Saturday, and it's been slightly weird since. I suppose you can say we became closer over the past year (probably because I spent too much time at home over the weekends), but somehow, I can't regret that. Oh, I regret the fact that I did not socialise with people in my halls because I was suffering from that awful thing called 'culture shock' added on with moving away from the security of home and my struggles with insecurity. I'm not saying that things have changed completely- I'm still terrified of people, but perhaps I just find it easier to confront... (more)

Ethics: Bang Bang- and I'm dead.

Have you ever thought how physically easy it is to kill someone? It's just one swift movement of pushing the neck back, or just stabbing them with a sharp knife- or nowadays, it's just a bullet fired by a gun. But then, why don't we go around murdering people? Why don't we kill those who surround us? Why not just destroy everyone that annoys us?

In response to "name"...

I'm going to keep this short, sharp and sweet. Mainly because someone "Name" in the previous comments, seems really pissed off. I think it is quite easy to tell who that was, considering the writer did come from Astor Halls (you gotta love Statcounter), but nonetheless, I feel compelled to answer your questions.

Audience interaction?

I know that quite a few people do actually read this- most of them are just popping by, but others return. So therefore, I would ask you guys to spend a couple of minutes to do me a favour and participate in this blog.

All I ask is you leave one question, or one suggestion as a comment. If it is a question, I'll promise to answer it. If it's a suggestion, I might follow it up or I'll give you an answer as to why will not follow it up. You can leave both, if you wish. The more the merrier :)

Confused Hopes...

So much has happened in the last few days, that I cannot even begin to write this to you- simply because I don't know where I stand on these issues. I finally managed to gain the courage to attend a pub quiz (gathering of archaeology people) last thursday. This ended up in a rather pdd arrangement of a sleepover- but weirdly fun. The people I was hanging around with are vaguely, actually very similar to the type of people Fitz hangs around with- though I actually don't like any of them in the way that she manages to like half the guys in her little groupie :P Nonetheless, it's more awkward...

Irritated Spew

I'm sorry, but I had to update this to write this:

We're all scared of something

The more I look into it, the more I realise that everyone is just facing life's challenges, and, ultimately, are extremely insecure. Every reaction by those around me are in defence of themselves. People who are overly confident are just trying to protect themselves, and convince themselves that they are alright, and that their life is going to alright- that's how they become arrogant. Similarly, those who divulge into narcotics and toxins are simply trying to avoud facing a harsh reality. The interesting thing, is all of these people I have been observing are those who think a lot, and... (more)

Future Madness

Do you know that feeling when you think that someone has seen right through you? Well, that's kind of exactly what happened yesterday. Someone, (I don't want to go into details as this person may not read this now, but could in the near future), basically said something which kind of targetted the reason for a lot of my problems. Anyhow, it was just a side comment, and I've decided not to look into it too deeply.
