Wow, hello there :)
After brushing dangerously close to starting down the path to an actual, proper, reliable career (first year LLB/BA conjoint) I came to my senses and realised I have slightly less than bugger all desire to be a lawyer. So I've sorted myself out and started writing again, and I'll probably study communications (read: Journalism) after a year off. Here's hoping all those English teachers and my parents weren't just humouring me in my efforts to forge together a literary master-piece.
So that's what this journal is all about: a way to ease myself back into the whole writing thing once again. Hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride. I hope.
Randomness: I think I have to agree with Jian to some extent about the whole modern music thing. Yeah, the vast, vast majority of it is absolute bollocks. Everyone does the same bloody thing with hardly any variation at all. Where I differ with Jian though, is that I think occasionally you get someone who manages to be totally unoriginal and still be worth a listen. But what I really, really love in music is when someone different comes along. A really random example that comes to mind is Nelly Furtardo. I think she's great. Yeah, her music wasn't really anything new, but her voice sure was, as was what she did with it. (Although I suppose you could argue she took guidance from Bjork in some regards) I know a lot of people think she's an annoying, whining bitch, but at least she tried something a bit different. But anyway, to each their own.
Further randomness: Anyone who lives in New Zealand (and possibly the UK or Australia), please try and go see "In My Father's Den". It's a kiwi film, and much to my suprise, it's fucking brilliant. I never thought I'd see the day where my favourite film of the year is out of NZ rather than Hollywood or Hong Kong. Crazy.
