have been beautiful. Before Christmas everything was fine but me and Becky had decided, in between powering through poetry assignments and Made in Chelsea marathons that we were pretty bored of people and the day to day life that involved the above activities and going to Canal St at weekends, where I'd watch her kissing girls and resent the fact that I was straight and therefore could not join in.
However, over Christmas I disappeared for a while and spent my time in Bedfordshire reading books about God and becoming reacquainted with my old local and my old friends back home in Bury, and since being back here in Salford, life just keeps getting better.
Here are some highlights from the past couple of weeks:
1. Seeing The Woman in Black. I watched the original of this years ago and loved it, and so when I heard there was going to be a remake I was so happy. It's a good old-fashioned ghost story. There's no slutty blonde Americans getting cut up, no demon children with long black hair and it doesn't have one of those awful cliffhanger endings that are clearly just there to ensure that the viewer goes home knowing that whatever situation the characters have been in for the past two hours is never going to end. It's a genuinely good film. It's well acted, well put together and there's lots of jumpy bits but not so much that it becomes too cheesy. Definitely worth a watch.
2. Going to see Skrillex live. I've already blogged about this but it deserves to be on this list as it was such an amazing night. He might have attracted his fair share of haters but he's a talented guy who knows how to get a crowd going and I happen to really enjoy his music. Check out "Kill Everybody" and "First of the Year (Equinox)" if you want to hear some good music.
3. Sam's birthday. Me and my flatmates all had a party in honour of Sam's birthday last week, and, as it usually is when we all get together, it was amazing. I sampled my first beer bong (despite being too much of a pussy too have a full can), we had a very energetic game of Ring of Fire and I got two cups of water thrown all over me. Wonderful.
4. All the amazing plans that are coming my way! Tomorrow it's my friend's birthday night out in South, somewhere I've been dying to check out for ages, Wednesday is REC night, where all the university societies get into fancy dress and go out together and there's at least three birthday parties that are being planned for the coming month which is sweeeet.
To be honest there's lots more that I'm happy about at the minute but because this blog isn't anonymous I guess you'll all just have to keep guessing. While we're on the subject, I'm thinking of starting my own, Belle du Jour style warts and all blog about my life. I've been reading the Sex at Oxbridge blog a lot and one of my friends has started an anonymous blog that's heaving with juicy gossip, and being the attention seeker that I am, I'm intrigued as to what my writing would be like if I wasn't constantly writing for an audience. See, that's where blogs like this are at fault. I can't write too much. I want to be a journalist and I have a lot of magazines and authors following me on Twitter, so I can't say anything that might impact on my future career: everything has to be reasonably well written. I also can't really go into details about people that annoy me, people that upset me and people that take my fancy because that's the kind of thing that I tell my girlfriends about over cups of tea, not my entire Facebook friends list. I think I'm gonna do it, I just have to figure out how to promote something if you're keen to remain anonymous.
