I was probably the only person that kept up the boycott of our college's cafe and shop because of their ridiculous prices. It was a massive campaign and it had at least 2,000 members on its group on Facebook, it's just nobody actually bothered to walk down to Tesco and buy food from there, when the shop was so close and convenient. I, however, refused to buy from them and kept stocking up on supplies from the vending machines. Yeah, I was on a strict diet of nothing but Twirl bars and M&Ms for at least two weeks. Shame on the rest of them for giving in.

I had to read everyone else's replies to this because I couldn't think of any off the top of my head.
So...
'Smile!' (Make me, bitch)
'Calm down' (No. Even your VOICE is winding me straight back up.
'Cheer up!' (Has that helped anyone EVER?)
'At the end of the day' (It's never the end of the day when they say that)
'It's a free country' (I'm paying taxes, aren't I?)
'No offence' (Followed imminently by something offensive)
'It could be worse' (Maybe it already is)
'It goes without saying' (Well you're just about to...)
'Ya know what I'm saying?' (If I speak your language, YES)
'It's always in the last place you'll look' (I'm hardly gonna carry on looking once I've found it)
'You think YOU'VE got problems'
'MY life is worse'
'I told you so'
And inserting the word 'like' into EVERY possible break in a sentence.

Only child.
In ways I'd say it's made me more independent, because I'm not surrounded by other attention-seeking siblings who take the limelight.
On the other hand, it can mean I'm more dependent on my parents to do things for me.
One thing's for sure, if I have children, I want more than one.
So they're not alone like I was.
My parents didn't care half the time.
I was left to do things by myself.
Multiplayer games suck majorly.

Of course, I've crushed on my best friend, and I unfortunately didn't keep it secret.
We've known each other for 5 years, which is the longest I've kept in touch with someone because I've moved around soo much, but now we're parting ways to go to separate colleges, so hopefully the agony will be over. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.
When he got quite drunk at a friend's party two years ago, I decided to tell him there and then so I would have got it over and done with and he would never have remembered me saying it anyway. Only he remembered it, and he asked me out the next week, which led to us going out for around about 4 months.
I thought things couldn't possibly get better, but it didn't last, once I found him holding his ex-girlfriend's hand, and it plummeted from there.
I still love him, even though he comes to me regularly for advice on his love life with other girls, especially his ex who he's still in love with.
So I guess romantic relationships with someone you consider to be your closest friend never work out.
But life goes on, unfortunately.

That's an incredibly hard question, seeing as my life revolves around music and what the lyrics to songs mean.
I'd have to compromise on 'The Man Who Sold The World' by David Bowie, mainly because the title alone is a fantastical concept, but also because the lyrics epitomise what fame means to people in the present day.
When I first heard the song around the age of 7, it sent me into a world of my own, with Bowie's lyrics dictating each detail of the world surrounding me.
Bowie's songs may not have made much sense upon first hearing, but there really is a meaning between each syllabal, you just need the dedication to find that meaning.
He stood out from the crowd, he got his message across, (despite how long it took the cryptographers to decipher it) and he paved his own path through the music business.
Bowie's style of writing, in my opinion, influenced the 80s single-handedly, and for that, he truly is a god in my eyes.
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when.
Although I wasnt there, he said I was his friend.
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes,
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago.
Oh no, not me,
I never lost control.
You're face to face,
With the man who sold the world.
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home.
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed.
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here.
We must have died along, a long long time ago.
Who knows? Not me,
We never lost control.
You're face to face,
With the man who sold the world.

So here we are, this fic took me a while to get right, so I hope it's OK for you, please criticise as much as possible, I need constructive criticism, but everyone has to start somewhere. Anyways, enjoy =]
Title -
Author - Only me!
Pairings - None, even though it may sound a bit Sam/Ray, it isn't, trust me.
Warnings - Bit of swearing, bit of angst
Summary - DS Ray Carling isn’t all he seems. He had wanted to become DI, but the arrival of Sam Tyler scrapped that. Ever since, Ray has never been the same. But Sam only notices this when Ray becomes one of the voices on the telephone…

Sorry if I haven't replied to any comments, I haven't had much time to as I've been writing another Life On Mars fic called Worried About Ray.
Yes, the title is that of The Hoosiers’ legend song, and it does make an appearance in the story, fortunately. It's coming on quite well, I'll just type up a short synopsis here for you, just to tease you:

Sounds interesting so far? Wait till you read it… I'll post it in a second =]
On top of all that, I’m having a pretty hard time at home. I’m sure you don’t really want to be reading about this, so don’t if you’re one of those people. But I’ll write it because this is, after all, my LJ, and my rules.
My mum’s really confusing me because somehow she’s got a attack-Ali-for-no-reason mode on. She keeps shouting at me saying I shouldn’t go to college if I don’t want to go to university. I’ve told her plenty of times that university is wasting too much money for keeping myself incarcerated in education for another two years of my life. Being a Gemini, I can never make my mind up, so that’s another reason why further education isn’t for me, because I would only choose a subject I’d hate the minute I leave. But now she’s saying that people only go to college to go to uni afterwards. In that case, why don’t they just make one fucking system called unilege or something if one HAS to follow the other!? For god’s sake I’m totally fucking confused with my life right now as it is without worrying about what the fuck I’m going to do in a year or so.
In other news, I'm gonna post the fic on here before FanFiction.net, because you lot are nicer and kinder reviewers than the meanies on FanFic XD

Well I had a really weird night last night. Didn't get to sleep until 3am, no idea why, and then I started dreaming like the stupid little fangirl I am.
I kept imagining that it was an ordinary day at school and somehow I didn't find it strange that John Simm was walking around. So, he was pacing down a corridor, but there was this little girl following him, probably in Year 7 or something, but she had wavy/curly blonde hair, about as tall as his waist, and she was following him. No idea why, she just kept following him wherever he went. At this point, he'd noticed her and bent down to speak to her, but then she ran off in a mood and disappeared around a corner. Seeing this, I walked up beside teh Simmage and asked him what was up, and he said "Oh, Lucy's just ran off in a strop. She'll be back soon," so I was literally imagining his future wife, Lucy Saxon, following him, even though he was the same age yet she was about 11. And there was more to it, but I can't write much as I'm off shopping in a bit. And then I woke up cos our damned nextdoor neighbour started mowing their lawn. Goddamn them. Just when I was having fun.

I'm feeling rather mixed-up today, cos I'm quite jumpy cos I've posted my fics and the music I was listening to earlier made me danzen, but now watching the YouTube vid of "teh moosik" is bringing me down! Noooooooo!
I'm being mauled by the millions and billions of plot bunnehs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nahhhhhhh I need to finish my old fics, but nooo, gotta torment me with new ideas!!
I'm trying my strangely retarded hand at manga right now, and it's failing miserably. I prefer to draw things as they are, rather than making massive un-human eyes.
I'm missing school soo much now, and I dunno why. Even though I have a whole Art project to finish over the 4 weeks left of the hols, I want it to go as quickly as possible, just to get back to the real friends I have. Not the bitchy MSN incarnation of my real friends.
Just to say thank you ever so much for all your comments on my fics, I'm pleased that you like them, I was really apprehensive about what you'd think, I'm glad I lived up to your expectations! =]
Anyways I'm off to write a bit more to one of my fics, so be warned, there may be an update soon! Ta ra for nao =]

Yes, in case you were wondering, I am *still* being haunted by the music on the Master's death scene. I've played the vid countless times on YouTube and I don't appear to be getting bored of it.
And I now have a new skin on Bebo to show for it.
And I also wrote a short one-shot fic, detailing what might have happened if the events of TLOTTL were different, and how they affected the Master. It's rather anti-Lucy, but that's a good thing in my opinion =]
So anyway, not got much to write here because I'm off to watch Doctor Who re-runs in a mo, teh Ecclescake returnz =]
News? None. So far. Still obsessed with teh moosik as I mentioned. From now it shall be called "teh moosik", cos I can't be arsed to explain it all the time.
I <3 Teh Simmage Et Teh Teninch
Ta ra for now =]

Is it just me or was the music that played in Sound Of Drums/Last Of The Time Lords so goddamn enigmatic? I'm talking about the bit that played when the Doctor set fire to the Master's funeral pyre, when the Master died in the Doctor's arms, when Jack The Doctor and Martha (nearly said Rose then... wishful thinking) were wandering through the dark with the keys around their necks, and at various other times in the episodes. It's been drumming through my head (much like what the Master hears) all day today as I watched TLOTTL earlier. Now I'm watching the video of it on YouTube, just so it drums around my head for just a little bit longer =] Rock On Murray Gold =]
Sorry I haven't written much lately or replied to any comments, I've been a bit busy, tidying up the house and doing tonnes of Art homework, getting it all done and dusted so I can have some time to myself for once.
"Dying In Your Arms... Happy Now?"
Giddy gawds why am I on the verge of tears because of John Simm's acting? Jeez I *am* too emotional.
Now, because I'm upset, I'm writing a Martha fanfic, about how she copes with her emotions after the Doctor leaves. I never thought I'd say this, but I kinda ship 10/Martha now, because Freema's a legend actress, even though her act can sometimes drag on a bit, I blame the writers really, she can be a good replacement for Rose. I sympathise with her because the Doctor is constantly referring to Rose and how she would always do better than Martha does. =(
Anyway Life On Mars is on at 10pm, Ep 2.2. Woot! Can't wait =] I want to see John Simmage actually alive again and playing a good guy =]

Well, today has been a very vague day so far. I've not really woken up considering I got up at around 1pm.
It's my chocolate-scoffing day today so I'm making sure I eat as much as possible without making oneself sick.
At the moment, I'm sorting out all the folders on my computer and deleting inappropriate and unused files.
Just watched through an old fanvid of mine, shipping 10/Rose, and it really made me cry. I miss 10/Rose =(
I Won't Deny, I'm Gonna Miss You When You're Gone .xo.
