Alty

24 and I don't feel old so much as just mature. More mature than I was as a teenager anyway. I didn't start to feel like an adult til 23.
All the same, as soon as it comes to paying bills, managing money, chasing up the landlord to fix the boiler and all those other grown up things I immediately revert back to feeling like a kid playing house.

Go home Dolores, you're drunk.

Hahaha yes! That's it: BRING ON THE SEQUEL.

I seem to recall that in 'No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs' his wife fried up some human shit to serve to a journalist. For me, that's something the new book will struggle to compete with, really.

If it focuses on music in the last 20 years and his opinion on the state of the world today, it could be a pretty good read. He gives entertaining interviews. Butter adverts, not so much.

I didn't know if your real name was a secret or not!

Sounds great

6. Justin Bieber. Pity or punch?
Punch the living shit out of

Whoa.

What? He spits on people... Too much aggression?

Great to hear Username, hope the Mrs made room for your whiskey collection too!

I'm getting closer and closer to 25. It's daunting! I have the mental age of a 17 year old!

Doing well, yeah, got the urge to have a look through the forum today and try to figure out how to work it again!

Hope all's good with you, good to see a few old faces about here!

God, you must be ancient by now!

Hiyaaaaa *waves* Your emoticon should be pleased not shocked!

Anyone else get pics?

Didn't have a camera with me...

Fantasssstic. I've been on a high since.

Got 'em

Now, back to bed I think...

I'm missing a maths exam to get these tickets; that's either dedication or dumbassery.

Why is it so early?!

OH MY GOD. I still can't get over this. SWEET.

Belfast gig! AH! I am happy. And my neighbours are getting increasingly pissed off with GNR blasting out going by their thumping their floors at me. PIPE DOWN.

I wish I hadn't shelled out to go to Dublin next week....that money would've done the Dublin gig aswell. ARGH FATE.

I'm not going to get my hopes up for an Irish date but I'm hopefully going to Reading. I just need to sell my body some to get the money to afford to.

An Irish date would be amazing...I don't see why there'd be a Belfast date but shit it only costs you a tenner to get to Dublin and back so so what?

Fuuuuck, has someone been sticking voodoo pins in Guns N' Roses, or what?!

Physical definitely but who can afford that anymore?

I have a fair collection of actual cd's and a smallish collection of vinyls; it's so much better because I can remember when and where I bought them in most cases or who gave me them etc..much more personal.

I can remember saving for cd's, going into town and buying them and then either waiting to get home to listen to them or putting them on in my walkman on the bus and missing my stop.

Downloading's done away with all that anticipation

I've a shiiiitload of downloaded stuff, though I would never pay for it. If you're skint but there's a new band you want to check out, I nearly always torrent it.

I'd like to replace that entire digital collection with real cd's but that'll take the rest of my life and then some.

Prodigy next week

Was meant to be seeing NIN next month but the money ran out!

Hey Axl - What's the craic?

I love that book!!!

But what's the connection between it and Stephen Fry?

Russel Brand actually did a programme on the book which is worth a watch, even if you think the guys a twat.

He comes across well.

I'm reading this historical novel by Edward Rutherfurd called 'London'

As the title would suggest, it's about London and its general history starting from way back then up to the 90s.

It goes through Viking,Anglo-saxon,medieval way up through Henry VIII's years, Victorian and onward.

It's a beast of a thing and generally I like it but it's really badly written.

However given the fact that it's a brick and a little interesting

I'm determined to finish it. It's alright like.

The concept is good, following down the genealogical line of a handful of families til present times but IT'S NOT IN DEPTH ENOUGH GODAMMIT!

today

On The Road by Jack Ker-o-ac.

Did i say this already.

And y'know the old loves like Catcher in the Rye and lets see....Fear & Loathing.

You see I'm re-reading books at the min so I'm gonna say like Steppenwolf, Perfume and ho..................yeah like Factotum.

Virgina Woolf is a long time love too.

Dostoevsky..shouviuwgiuiueriug or whatever way you fancy spelling it is a gaureneteeeeeeddddded good read if you can keep track of all the Russian names. I can't.

And the likes of Portrait of Dorian Gray/Grey I DONT KNOW are like essential, ESSENTIAL reading. Á Rebours/Against Nautre is the shit.
