I am guessing that all employees, or employment agencies in general, with internet connections have a sneaky peak at the facebooks of all their prospective employees. out of my friend's friend's 5 photos on their main page, two are of them passed out on different streets and two are close-ups of their face passed out on a bench with a dark orange-coloured liquid coming from their mouth. I do not want to make assumptions, but seeing as this boy is now 18 years of age, he will soon be applying for university, or looking for a job. I don't understand what goes through his mind while uploading these pictures (because I checked, and all of them were uploaded by himself straight to his wall). I just wonder if he has any form of plans for the future. I feel sorry for his parents, and wonder if he has proud older siblings. the first two photos, uploaded last night, might have been during the time when he was drunk, straight from his phone, and he might not have had access to facebook yet, but the ones of him passed out on the street were from six days ago. I have convinced myself that my friend's friend, an eighteen year-old boy, has not been on a 6+ day binge, and is in fact a moron. // this post was about nothing, but it's getting quite late and it's been a while since I posted. I also want to mention that while I am technically twenty years of age, and so the right age to be impressed by my friend's friend's drunken bravado, I feel twenty years older, and the sight of him and the knowledge that my friend is friends with him disgusts me. xx

okay, I've heard back and I'm almost 100% definitely doing philosophy. that's a load of my mind, I feel much better now. I'm able to continue with other things. that was quite a weight that I didn't realise was there, and I don't miss it! // at the moment, I'm filling my days with top gear, QI, have I got news for you, other various comedy stand up shows, friends (the tv show), friends (real people in very small quantities), and weetabix. I like weetabix, it tastes okay and it's got a texture which you feel go all the way down your throat. and it's unnecessary to have sugar on weetabix. // a few more photos from italy. xx

I'm starting to hate pieces of memories with no explanation. images of places that I've never seen, and smiling faces that I've never met. I think in words, I can't see colours or shapes other than their definitions. that hollow blip that something's registered: it does more than echo around my head; it finds home and bores in deep, regardless of the damage it's doing. xx

recently I've been quite scatterbrained. don't you love the English language, such as that "scatterbrained" is one word? I've been watching television and playing on games and writing and reading and running and listening to music and shopping and eating and drinking and clicking and sleeping and throwing and catching and dipping and diving, but I can't do any of these for more than half an hour, or I get bored. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and lying in bed fidgeting, with a thought in my mind that I've forgotten something, or that I'm waiting for something, or something else I cannot put my finger on. I find myself sleeping with my laptop next to me, so that I can sleep, wake up, watch a video or play a game of solitaire or chess, and then go back to sleep. it's a very much-to-do business, and it does not do to have this terrible affliction. but I am updating my blog more often. I'll even have pictures and stuff soon, but not in this one, because my hair is pushed flat to my head and I feel like I'm in a state of perpetual half-sleep. xx

It's ridiculous that all of my pictures were deleted from this blog. just spent a few minutes uploading some of them, but some of them were deleted from my computer, or uploaded from my phone, which were subsequently deleted, so there's nothing I can do about a few of the posts, and they have been left blank. on other news, I went to Italy and took many many photos.
//
we went all around, seeing the Duomo, the Sistine Chapel, the Valley of the Temples, the Parthenon, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Venezian Canals, but the most impressive historical thing I saw there, and perhaps in my whole life, is Michaelangelo's David. it is many times taller than I thought it would be, and it is pretty much completely perfect. I went around the museum it is packed in three times, just to stare at it from a different perspective. it is the first piece of art for a long time that just took my breath away. I couldn't stop inspecting all the perfect different parts of it. xx
