The Fresh Prince With No Hair
"IN WEST LONDON BUCKINGHAM BORN AND RAISED
IN THE PALACE IS WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY DAYS
CHILLING OUT, MAXING AND RELAXING ALL COOL
WITH MY NANS COUNTRY ALL UNDERNEATH HER RULE
WHEN A FLATMATE OF MINE, WHO I THOUGHT WAS A SQUARE
STARTED MAKING TROUBLE IN MY UNDERWEAR
SHE CAME TO ONE LITTLE PARADE AND MY DAD GOT SCARED AND SAID “YOU’RE MARRYING THIS BITCH BEFORE YOU LOSE ALL YOUR HAIR"

Fraud
Having the people who committed credit card fraud to you refund the money and say sorry is the best feeling in the world.

Red
I'm feeling a bit angry because you never ask.
An email would be nice.
You're one mad-hatter I can do without.

Wonderland
I've been to see Scottish Ballet's production of Alice.
It began with Alice climbing through a camera and venturing into wonderland with her minder. I hate to say that it was rather boring at the start as there was no real dancing just a lot of spectacle and the spectacle wasn't that great. It picked up with some men in tutu's and some real dancing. The lifts were precarious and fantastic, such intricate patterns of folding limbs. I do not want to fault the dancers on their dancing but only the slightly repetitive choreography and the constant feeling of uncertainty in the performance as if it was under-rehearsed.
The costumes were amazing and the scenery was brilliant, it was great to see the versatility of what started out as a giant camera and morphed into a kitchen, court room and various other walls and scenes. The costume of the cook which was a black dress with a white front and apron was beautiful, it had grey edges at the bottom and gave a lovely figure to the dancer who played her part very well and was an under appreciated performer in my view.
The part I particularly loved was the Jack to the Queen who was persecuted for stealing one tart! But luckily was saved from being beheaded by the Jaberwock by Alice's minder.
The whole mad hatter scene was genius. Everything apart from the table in the middle which kept moving un-expectantly and very irritatingly when someone stepped on it. The humour and charm that exuded from the dancers was simply inspiring and again all the characters were very well played.
After all the flamingo croquet and the trial of the strawberry tart Alice's minder realised how much Alice had grown and how much she will grow and seemed to let go a little but still proceeded to guide her back through the lens. It ended quite suddenly and without real suspense or the usual drawn out romantic ballet endings that so many shows end with. No, it ended with a simple act of falling asleep whilst reading a book and Alice drifted off onto another adventure and the dance was over.
Almost perfect.
Shoes
Shoes I would wear if I was a girl, infact I might just wear 'em anyway and see what the folks on Argyle Street say!
For Good
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
And because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

Horror
Horror films are pointless to me. Why would I want to evoke a negative emotion and live with it for maybe 4 months afterwards. Becasue I think about things over and over and over again in my head it increases the fear and it snowballs into something massive. I think it's mostly the music and the build up to the actual torture or serial killer or escaped lunatic or zombie. Even now as I'm typing this my sister is watching ther TV series "The Walking Dead" and I've got "Super Size VS Super Skinny" on the laptop to keep my brain from melting of fear. Becasue I'm hardcore like that.
Campus
I have fallen in love with Campus like I knew I would. It's from the creators of Green Wing which I also loved and was obsessed with. It's just the same alternative, odd humour that is perfect for me.
Flatpack (above and below) is kinda hot, along with his English professor (below). They both have ridiculous tans like actual orange which I'm REALLY jealous of as I have the UV sensitive, freckly skin of a ginger. I'm basically a closet ginger.
Just watch and bask in the glory of CAMPUS.
