cities in dust

Hello, I'm feeling very good about things recently! Between the post before my last one and today a lot has been happening. My most recent musical purchases have been Yeezus by Kanye West (which is really really good! I'd even go on to say that it's one of the most important albums to come out this year), Jagged by Gary Numan, The Crossing by Big Country and the very first Echo and the Bunnymen single, The Pictures On My Wall. The last two were vinyl purchases from a charity shop in Northfield while I was looking for clothes to put together into a suit.

Last week was my very last day of being a college student. It still all hasn't really caught up with me yet, but in the days leading up to last Friday I didn't see anyone who wasn't crying. I also told one of my closest friends that I like-like her (well, I typed it up and got a LSA to give it to her for me because I was so nervy) and when I was walking home she texted me to say she felt the same way! This is a very new development which feels alien but also very warm and fluffy. It's only been a week since I finished college but I haven't really done anything social with people in my age group yet. But I did go to Zombie Club last week and met one person who was closer to my age, does that count? I don't know. I might be going to see The World's End with my best friend since primary school sometime next week if she's still up for it.
At the cinemas I have been to see Despicable Me 2, which was a lot of fun. I am considering seeing Behind the Candelabra, This Is The End, Monsters University and Pacific Rim, as well as The World's End which I just mentioned earlier. I find the Odeon in town much easier to get to than the Empire in Rubery, but tickets are cheaper at the Empire. Why does everything have to be so weird and mixey-uppey? I'm not even sure that mixey-uppey is the right word. I bought Manic Street Preachers tickets the other day! I'm really happy that I'm finally going to see one of my favourite bands after waiting for two years to see them live. I did meet the members at a HMV signing once, but I only had 10 seconds to really do anything. The concert is at the Ritz in Manchester on the 27th of September, and I'm sharing a hotel with my mum and going to the concert on my own. I just hope they don't do a Roger Waters and suddenly announce a Birmingham date, seeing as the Manchester date is a lot more convenient for me! I wonder if Nicky Wire still has the bracelet I gave him.


Meow, meow. I like to feel warm and happy and safe, but not in the summer because the summer is too hot and nasty and sweaty. I have a money plant to look after, I water it every Monday and stroke its leaves and just a few hours ago I played Antony and the Johnsons to it. I haven't got a name for it yet, though. Every time I remember just how good Antony and the Johnsons are I'm in a good mood for ever.

On the 30th of June I went to the Electric Cinema for another Music for Silents thing by Steven Severin! Last time I went which was on the 5th of May he played the version of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari + his musical score that was usually played at clubs and things, so this time we saw the whole film. I enjoyed it a lot. Later I had my fag break next to Steven Severin and talked to him about if he's got anything coming up next in the way of Music for Silents projects and how much of a fucking rotter Charles Saatchi is.
Speaking of fucking rotters, the boy from my school who beat up my friends is still a massive tool. He constantly begs for likes on Facebook (like my profile pic + ill like urs back!!! pls look at my zitty face) and someone posted on his wall noticing that he begs for likes, so he said "maybe I should fix up", but then the next day he's still doing the usual begging for likes shit, only this time he calls it 'making a deal'!!! What the fuck is that noise?? I think he's blocked me for noticing how much of a massive tool he is, not to mention a gross hypocrite who posts statuses about how if he saw a man hitting a girl he'd rip his tiny 'bollacks' off even though I know he's beaten up two of my friends. He's got 'Facebook' as his employment status on Facebook???? No, you're not a vlogger, you're just a tool with a webcam and a shitty yellow fringe and even shittier opinions.

At least I have nice things to look forward to like the David Bowie exhibition and the Manic Street Preachers and Les Misérables and Gary Numan and Placebo and all the other things! This makes me very happy for the future. I feel cute.
