EXCITING

I am getting gradually more and more excited about drawing perilously closer to the end of this year (I dunno about you guys, but mine's gone REALLY fast). You may be wondering why this would excite me so much but I actually get excited at about this time every year. For some reason I always get it into my head that the next year will be even better than the one just finishing (although this hardly ever happens). I get excited about all the new music that will be released and all the gigs I will go to, as well as all the new relationships I'll form with the people I'll meet. It is also a time for me to reflect on everything that has happened to me in the year that's just gone past. Despite usually being let down when the next year actually comes around, looking back this time 2009 has exceeded the norm. It's had it's major ups and downs but overall 2009 has been a good year for me (much better than usual). The end of this summer and the start of autumn have been particularly good, with the rest of autumn looking even better. I'm thinking of doing several blogs at the end of the year to go into my 2009 (as well as the exciting things in 2010) in more detail, which I'm quite excited about.

Another reason to be excited at this time of year is of course CHRISTMASSSSS. Only 71 days to go!

Yesterday Live Forever came on on the radio and as it is one of the only Oasis songs I really like I decided to give Definitely Maybe a try as it is meant to be ridiculously good (I already had it on my computer but I never really bothered with it). I discovered it is very good! I am amazed that I found an entire Oasis album that I really like, I mean I've always listened to What's the Story but I don't think it's exactly amazing or anything (shit is so overrated/overdone). I even learnt Rock 'n' Roll Star! (which by the way is also awesome) I had no idea Oasis were ever so good, it's a shame they lost their imagination and creative talent after that really. In my opinion they should have burnt out in spectacular fashion soon after the first album rather than ending the way that they did. Oh well, I can't rewrite history. I am still addicted to Björk, I have finally put all of her studio albums on the computer now and they are all amazing and totally distinctive from each other in their own unique way. I think I may be slightly in love with her (I'm allowed to have unconditional love for people like that, right?).

Not to be egotistical or anything, but I took some pictures of myself yesterday for the first time in a while. What's even rarer is that I actually quite like them. I managed to produce 7 that I liked, of which 2 are shown below:

As you can see I am wearing my amazing new chullo, which is featured in all 7 photos. It is the warmest and softest thing I have ever known, seriously. Yes that is a 21st Century Breakdown (coincidentally one of my favourite albums of this year) poster in the second one, I am so damn cool (obviously).

The more observant among you may have noticed a change in my blog's appearance. This is because I got bored of the old one and I just generally felt like fucking around with the settings anyway. I like it a lot better, I hope you do too! I will put up some more creative writing later this evening. It will be part 4 of that story that some of you may have already started to read. I am doing this as I realise it has been a couple of weeks since I posted the last part of it, so I want to put up the next part before you all forget what happened...
