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) http://philonysh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=67 http://philonysh.blogdrive.com/archive/66.html Tue, 18 Apr 2006 15:46:50 GMT 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: If you had the super-human power of super-fast reading, whose complete works would you read first? Right now, Paul Bahn (because I'm...

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...

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? Societal moral codes, that have been ingrained into us. We cannot kill because we have been told that it is wrong? But wrong for whom, wrong for what? And when does kill equal murder? Who makes these decisions? The government? The law? The Church?...

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. Firstly, I'm not judging anyone, and I certainly hate no-one. I feel isolated due to my situation, and basically, yes, I cannot enjoy myself- I feel incapable of having fun because I am way to sellf-conscious. But I'm not judging anyone by their drinking mor drug or smoking, or...

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 :) Leave your question(s)/suggestion(s) as a comment/wish http://philonysh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=62 http://philonysh.blogdrive.com/archive/61.html Mon, 20 Mar 2006 09:25:19 GMT 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...

I'm just so sick of that argument. You'd think that if I was really concerned about good money, I would have gone into the only field I'm interested in (in terms of money)- psychology. But I chose not to- why- because I want to study and practice archaeology. Is that a concept so hard to follow? That I feel that passion overcomes money? I could not end up in a shitty dead-end office job that bores the hell out of me just to make 'good'...

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...

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. In other random note, I've been 'elected' as treasurer for our People and Planet society next year. Elected meaning that I was the only candidate, and therefore, well, yeah. I ended... (more) http://philonysh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=58
