Nicked from superplin

What year was it?
When I left school or when I started? I left in 1998

What were your three favorite bands?
I was really into the indie/britpop scene at the time. I was mostly listening to Suede, Pulp and Kula Shaker

What was your favorite outfit?
Baggy jumpers and jeans mostly

What was up with your hair?
Long and tied back, before I discovered gel so it was uber frizzy too

Who were your best friends?
supernaturalhel and Paula Webster. Helen is still one of my best friends and Paula pretty much ditched me when she went to uni

What did you do after school?
I can't really remember. I think sometimes I'd hang with supernaturalhel and the rest of the time I'd just go home and bum around. I remember doing a LOT of reading in my lasy year of school

Where did you work?
B&Q. Hell on earth

Did you take the bus?
No, it wasn't far so I walked in with Paula who lived near me

Who did you have a crush on?
Ah, Simon Bean. The boy who I had a crush on right through school. He still crops up in my dreams occasionally. In fact he was there last night. Nothing major, I was just shopping and he was there too.

Did you fight with your parents?
I think I got most of that out of the way when I was a bit younger 14-16. We still argued a bit but nothing major

Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Why, Johnny Depp of course. I've had a crush on him since I was about 14. I'm trying to think who else there was...oh, David Boreanaz *blush* supernaturalhel? Can you think of anyone else?

Did you smoke cigarettes?
Sometimes I'd smoke when I was out clubbing but only after I'd had a few drinks

Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?
Uh...no. We all went to find our lockers together

Did you have a 'clique'?
There was a big group of us that sort of took over one of the rooms in the 6th form common room. We called ourselves The Common Room Clan

Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater?
Now that underyourspell has explained what this is I can answer. We didn't have a diner or a burger bar but there was a LOVELY shop a bit like Subway that did delicious sandwiches for £1. It's still there actually. We'd go every lunchtime to fill ourselves up.

Admit it, were you popular?
I had friends in my own group but I wasn't part of the super-popular, good at everything group. They picked on me when I was younger but I was on quiet good speaking terms with most of them by the time we left school

Who did you want to be just like?
Uh, I think I just wanted to be me

What did you want to be when you grew up?
A writer

Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?
A super-cool music journalist. LOL!

A whole bunch of stuff

My brain is chock full of stuff at the moment

1. Aparently the government now has thr right to place suspected terrorsits under house arrest for an indefinite period without trial. Nazi Germany anyone?

2. The average age for first time house buyers is 36. Excellent. I have 11 years to save up a deposit

3. No bad dreams last night. WHEE! Instead I dreamt I met Anthony Hopkins at a party

4. Contemplating going to London in May to do some clothes shopping for the cruise and see my friends down there. All depends on whether I can get a cheap rail ticket or not. Are GNER still doing that £20 for a return ticket deal?

5. Had porridge for brunch. VERY full now.

Ok, I'll bite

LJ should have a feature where you can search your journal for comments by a specific person

flickums, do you have the link to that Immortal Beloved DVD so I can add it to my wishlist. I can only find a region 1 version, was that what you sent me?

Just been looking through my journal archive at what happened on this date over the past few years. This time last year it was snowing

I was watching a news feature about the liberation of Auschwitz and I cried. I cried for what those poor people had to go through and I cried because 60 years later we're still here killing each other. On the same day as this memorial we find out that Harold Shipman is now thought to have killed 250 people and Tony Blair is sending more troops into Iraq

There was also a programme on BBC2 tonight about Ben and the men he was with when he was killed. It was basically an investigation into whether the Army was at least partially to blame for their deaths. I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I wonder if they took into consideration the effect this programme would have on the families of those who were killed.

Someone please tell me there are some positive things happening out there in the world. At the moment all I see is pain and loss
