THIS IS A BORING BLOG THAT IS BEING WRITTEN RIGHT NOW [Apr. 9th, 2007|09:54 pm]
Hello, my name is Peter and I should be writing 4,000 - 6,000 words.

Which to be fair, is fuck all, the usual length of essays I'm told to do are about 2,000, so basically all I am doing is a couple of essays. Except I have to do them properly, and not slack off. Which is what I am doing right now.

I gave myself a few days off of work for various reasons, and have thus spent this weekend sitting around thinking that I should be doing something other than sitting around.

On Friday night I went to Exeter and it was a bit odd seeing some people I've not seen for a while, but all just randomly. The weirdest part being seeing Adam 'Creedophile' Creed in the street, then spending most of the evening with him (not in that way), although the funniest was probably the portion of the evening when Kelvin was being started on by some guy on the dance floor. I danced in a sexually provocative manner at anyone who looked like they were trying to impress a girl, which resulted in the following reactions; shock, mild amusement, anger, humiliation, violent threats.

Saturday involved Exeter being mildly crap but still winning 1-0, while Saturday evening involved me being really tired and ill and falling asleep early despite numerous tempting offers involving cider and pubs. Sunday was much the same as I found a DVD of The Armando Ianucci Show, which was duely watched and thus recommended to all and sundry. Today as a much more maligned affair in the sense that I got annoyed at having a headache and kicked a wall. No damage was done, but the intent was there.

Yet more time spent lying in fresh air and cancer-inducing-rays resulting in Exeter being good at their jobs and winning 3-0, thus making me mildly optimistic about a trip to Wembley come May 20th, despite no-one else having an interest outside of my immediate family and those with the same blind faith and stupidity as myself.

I find it odd when people (attempt) to write meaningful things within blogs or just on the internet. I always felt that if something was happening in my life that was vaguely personal then I would keep it that way; afterall, if it was that important then my friends would know anyway, so why would I need to type it onto the internetweb. This has resulted in my mainly typing bollocks onto livejournal or myspace, with the sole aim of wasting a few minutes of my ever-dwindling days, as well as amusing myself by thinking about things that I forget to say to people.

I'm just listening to Cut Chemist at the moment, well, the track Spoon to be precise. It sounds nothing like it, but it reminds me of the Peeeeeeervvv thing that Lamb Quartet used to play. What happened to them guys? "No, with my brains, and your skills, combining, to form....BRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIN SKIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLS". thats the only thing I remember really.

See what I mean? Utter shite. What's the point of even typing this? I wonder if in years to come people will read through their old blog entries in the way that people do with diaries they kept during high school and the like. I never kept a diary at school, probably due to the fact that most entries would read along the lines of:

"MONDAY: Got up at 8.55am. Go to school at 9.05am. Intercepted register and corrected big red circle next to name. Sat in freezing cold/boiling hot (delete as appropriate) learnt twat all. Ate lunch outside due to lunch hall being off limits as a result of newly laid carpet being too new to spill food on. More learning. Went home. Watched Chucklevision, drifted off into unmemorable evening of inactivity. Went to sleep."

MORE SOON! CAN'T WAIT!

hello. i have not typed shit on here for ages due to me not being bothered about doing so. Tonight I am going to a fancy dress 80s party and I am huey lewis. Yes, thats what its all about.

the other week louise was here and we went to a 90s disco at fan club (aka The Sweaty Fanny) and it was quite possibly the greatest night of my life. (maybe) Everytime i tried to leave the dancefloor another classic track came on the boombox and i couldn't get away. B Witched, 5ive, Suede, Blur, Oasis, Strike, Snow....classics. Ben Nelson summed it up by saying "I knew you'd love it, they were basically playing your music collection" amen to that nelson, he picked up a little crazy golf golf club at one point and then oasis came on and he started to sing into it as if it were a liam gallagher microphone. what a goof.

anyway, see you later.

A recent report has shown that the current bate of snow storms in the East Midlands has resulted in Leicester's highest ever temperature since records began 4 and a half years ago.

Experts on weather (or saddos as they are known across the country) have pointed the blame at global warming, despite the fact that temperatures are actually getting colder, not warmer. Experts on experts on weather (or even sadder saddos as they are known across the country) have claimed that this misuse of words is in fact an hilarious ironic joke from the weather idiots, which no-one else has 'got' due to the fact that the rest of the world's population have a life.

Despite these setbacks the planet is enjoying having to adapt to life with global warming and the greenhouse effect, sales of greenhouses have doubled (to almost three a year), and Coco Pops has undergone a successful re-brand as Co2Co2 Pops.

Weather 'scientists' (the people that look out the window for forecasts, and watch old episodes of Stingray for their theories on climate change) are insistent that guaranteed snow in the winter and hot sunshine in the summer are a bad thing. This would result in Britain's weather subscribing to many seasonal stereotypes, which New Labour have dubbed 'politically incorrect', said weather will now be having to appear on a Sky News Special in order apologise to the nation for the non-existent offence it has caused.

hello, my name is peter and i am currently using Odaban. It works! ha.


I am going out in a second because it is student night, and as i am a student, i feel i must make my presence felt, if i did not turn up then all the students will be stood around thinking "wow, there is one missing, what a let down". And I wouldn't want that kind of shame thrust upon me.

I'm listening to The Delgados though and it reminds me of them old days, all the way back then. Actually, the old days aren't that old ago, in fact, they are newer than some days, but then older than others. Age, what a confusing concept, I was thinking the other day about how I still get confused by time zones and I remembered the time my dad was working in America in 1994 during the World Cup and he said that he'd phone me through the score of the final because he'd see it before us due to the time difference. I was eight and believed him and thought that it would be cool knowing the score before all my friends. But, even if the time differences did work like that, it would be pointless because of the internet and telephones it means that people could just phone it through or look it up on the internet. fucks sake. Time is confusing.

I think Sophie is good for me, (and apart from being nice) she seems to be able to stop me being a twat and calms me down. because i am a twat, and if i'm not reigned in i get carried away and one day i will die, but not due to being a twat, just because of old age or something probably. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. did anyone see that news story about the flamingo that got blown away in the storms. apparently a gust blew up and blew the flamingo out of the zoo that it lived in, and now the zoo keepers can't find it. that is actually true, and anyone who says i am lying is in fact the liar themselves, and also a twat. its as true as the story of the kid who nicked the penguin on a school trip. and that is certifiably true. FO' SHO'!

i like weezer, they remind me of the time i went to see weezer with my good friend louise williams, it was a good gig, but it was expensive, why do they need anymore money? idiots. i also liked the time i saw a band called Pit Er Pat, they were good, but i don't think anyone else liked them and i can't remember who i saw them with. Lightyear are shit, i think i saw them. not my baggage brother. although i seem to remember i tried to barter with one of them outside because i didn't have any money for a cd (even though I didn't want a cd from them) and so instead tried to get a CD in exchange for a framed photograph of Cullompton Rangers Under 12s (i was in the photo by the way, i wasn't just carrying around a photo of 11 boys in shorts......there were 13 of them in the photo. HAHA!). The guy wouldn't take it and so i didn't get a CD, thankfully, i wouldn't have listened to it. So i won that debacle. Actually, i don't think it was Lightyear, i think it was another band. either way i didn't like them, but the guy seemed alright. dean will know what band it was, as he was there. and he was in the photo! i have the photo still, it is on my mantelpiece downstairs.

right, bye.

hello, my name is peter, and i am sat here feeling a little bit ill because i ate too much dinner. haha. i am a rhinosaurus, doyouthinkhesaurus?

I'm going out in a couple of hours, although I can't really afford it but I don't care because i am young and don't give a shit. punk rock man, yeah, anarchy! get pissed, destroooooooooy. apart from those last two. don't destroy anything, and don't get too drunk or you may regret it in the morning.

I had a good night last night and it was fun which was resulted in it being classified as a good night (a difficult rating system). I also watched Run Lola Run today for the first time and it wasn't what i expected it to be like, but I quite liked it and thought that she looked hella hot with red hair.

Ok, i shall go and have a shower now as I've been wearing these clothes for two or three days solid (apart from in bed, i'm not weird).

SPEAK TO THE HAND, COS DA FACE AIN'T LISTENING MAN.


sort it out tisdale.

hello. i am called peter and this is a thing that i am writing on livejournal with cold fingers because i don't have a radiator in this room.

I am listening to the cranberries because i like them and don't care that they are well 90s and people think that that is not cool. I told someone the other day to stop living in the 70s and get on the modern tip, he replied with the simple words of "Stop living in the 70s? I'd rather live in the 70s than the fucking early 90s you twat". Fair do's.

I have to go and do a dissertation presentation in an hour or so. Although it isn't really a disseration (I intend on miss spelling that word as many times as possible), it is more of a practical project, with a 4000 (I think) report on what I've done.

I have a new primark jumper (i think the primark jumper count is up into double figures possibly). it is stripey and i look like a sailor boy in it, in fact, i am wearing it today. i wonder if anyone reads this, then sees me later walking around and then goes "Oh look! Its pete! I would not have arecognised him today, but i knew he had a stripey jumper on, so that must be him". That would be fantastic.

I'm still getting through Grange Hill, currently up to series 5 episode 11, Suzanne has just been hit by Gripper because she was nicking the money off of Roland Browning, the same money that Roland is supposed to give Gripper. Gripper is such a bastard, but he has cool hair, so I reckon he can kinda get away with it.

the commentary at the end of this video is classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMmQk2lK_Ks

although to be fair, this is probably the greatest video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeanFvVuWrw


boring, bye.
