I'm back!

10:27 (Friday) Did you miss me?

00:45 (Saturday) Even though my original intent was to post at least once a day (this eventually decreased anyway) I'm glad I took a break from writing. Looking back on my posts from a couple of months ago I can see I was really moody/whiny/annoying and worse of all *shudder* quite a bit emo. I am sorry for that, but there's no point dwelling on the past and I wish to move on to brighter and better things!

A couple of exciting things have happened in the time I was away from here:
1. I saw Muse live on Friday the 13th (a good day to see them, apparently) of November. This is pretty huge for me, they're definitely the band I have waited longest to see and fulling deserving of their 'best live band in the world' title. I am a bit sorry I didn't blog about it right after I saw them, I could've written a corker of a post I reckon. Oh well.
2. I handed in my UCAS form (at long last!) and the offers have been rolling in already! (well, 3 out of 5 so far). To all those who don't get what I'm on about, I am basically on about my university application (or 'college' application to all you Americans). This has obviously got me very excited but also terribly nervous. I had my first interview on Wednesday as well, I was shitting myself quite a bit beforehand but I think it went alright in the end (mostly thanks to some quality advice from my father on the way there - thanks Dad).

I suppose that's about it, November wasn't that eventful really. It never seems to be a very exciting month, I think it might be because it's too damn cold and the fact that Christmas is STILL too far away to look forward to... No more though! Only 20 days to go until Christmas crackers, excessive amounts of 'acceptable' alcohol, the opening (and subsequent disappointment) of really shit presents, embarrassing aunts and far too competitive uncles. Then there's also the really shit TV (including your yearly dosage of Shrek), the one good bit of TV that everyone else ruins (Doctor Who) and the ridiculous Christmas food. I don't think at any other time of year will so much food be consumed, nor will it be combined in such a bizarre way.

Despite what I said in that previous paragraph, I do actually enjoy Christmas and I will be looking forward to it just as much as anyone else. I just can't help thinking what a ridiculous festival (and time of year) it is.
