went out with people on Saturday night, was really great, very unusual to go out on a Saturday night, different people everywhere. It did get a bit too crowded, to be honest, but it was still good. We left early and went back to the Mansfield House to watch Pineapple Express which was much better when viewed with friends. Oh and James Franco. He was on the front cover of The Guardian guide this week, best front cover ever, I'll take a pic and you'll see what I mean.
Watched Happy-Go-Lucky tonight. It was really good. The main character was the most optimistic person ever, she was wonderful, but she always showed a little touch of seriousness very rarely when it was needed, it was a really good performance. I just wish I could be like that instead of being so miserable and serious all the time. I have watched so many new films already this month, it's been great. Shame I won't have any more Christmas/Birthday money to burn through :C But hey, maybe I'll get a job soon. I hope I do. Today I've been thinking about training up to teach English as a foreign language. Those courses are quite expensive though. I'll look into it, I'd like to do that for a while at least. I'm reluctant to do more studying, but really, jobs are not coming up very frequently and I feel like I need to do something else instead of searching on the net every day. Teaching abroad would be really good experience if I wanted to come back and do my PhD. I'm not sure though, so I probably shouldn't be talking about it at all, just in case I wake up tomorrow and think it's a terrible idea. I just feel very old today. Like, I'm twenty-four and I haven't done enough. I haven't had enough adventures at all. The 14-year-old me would be pretty annoyed at me right now, I thought I'd be living in Berlin with a German husband or living in New York with an American husband. Anyway, enough of that. This is going to be an awesome year. Like Virginia Woolf said "something tremendous is about to happen". I'm so pleased I recorded that video. I managed to record something with other people in the house! Plus, I need to re-read a Woolf book, they just always restore me, they're like a giant giant giant bowl of delicious food.
anyway, take care everyone! Hope you all have a good week!
HERE: some pics of the Franco thing in the guide and me with my new 30 Rock calendar with thanks to Adam for buying it from America for me!
and in conclusion: THE PEOPLE AT THE GUARDIAN WANT JAMES FRANCO TO BE GAY AND SO DO I. It's okay that he's not, it's fantastic that he's so gay-friendly.
I think the final quote is a good one, when famous straight actors play gay&bisexual characters idiot interviewers always ask with a sort of mortified expression: "LIEK, OMG, WHAT WAS IT LIKE KISSING (the other famous actor of the same gender)?" because as we all know, kissing a man is scary and disturbing thing to do when you are also a man. The same for a lady kissing another lady. Dumb bastards. And anyway, it's a SCREEN KISS, IT'S CALLED ACTING! Well I didn't expect to go off on a rant, I apologise!
Here I am with my new calendar! THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM!
This was my outfit. For that pervy American chap who said he likes men in suits. I am in love with that tie. I've had it for ages, but have only worn it twice. I think I'll just wear it more often, even if I'm just popping down the village shop.
anyway, take care everyone! Hope you all have a good week!
