Svo Hljótt

i feel i have neglected Sigur Rós over the past month and i feel baad. :(
After listening to Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust in full last night, i realise just whhy i fell in love with them in the first place. such a stunning album :']
only 20-odd more plays and they will overtake the wombats on my last.fm :)
(which is a good thing)

"we had to write about our favourite book, and i wrote about the dictionary..."

"I use flowers because Oscar Wilde used flowers. I really admire the idea of constantly being attached to some form of plant."

unnecessarily flippant

he says "delicate" too much :D

and a crack on the head is what you get for asking

I am going to write about food.

I love food, which is probably a good thing, i mean if i hated it, i would be dead.
off hand i would say my favourite food in the whole wide world is these beautiful things:

Stufed vine leaves,
mmm...leaves...

veggie of course, quorn mince or lentils.
(and excuse the cliché, i'm enlgish after all, whadda you expect ;] )

with the mushy peas of course!
and pehaps a pickled egg
*waits for cries of disgust*
pudding:


right. i really need to get this off my chest.
i haven't written any of this down and i need to now.
__________________

I don't eat meat. i was brought up this way. i haven't eaten meat in my whole life
(apart from a tiny piece of bacon which i thought was gross)
I do eat fish. again, the way i was brought up.
i get loads of crap:
"why do you eat fish but not meat?" etc etc
well, my answer is
"BECAUSE I WANT TO"
i can eat what i want (as long as i'm not eating people... )
i don't question their diets!
i have considered becoming a "proper" veggie, i may do when i move out.
but i don't want to turn down food that my mum has cooked, it's rude.
until then i will be a "pescatarian" which is as stupid name!

i don't like vegetarians who refuse to carry a plate that has/has had meat on it,
or will not eat near/next to someone eating meat.
i think that this is pathetic, and we should except everyone's individual diets.
i also dislike people who say "what do vegetarians eat?" etc
for gods sake, have they never had a meal in their lives that has not had meat in it?
have they never heard of meat alternatives? pfft.
[edit:] or lentils?!?! haha

i have also considered becoming vegan, i would be able to cope, but i don't think i will just yet.
when i eat fish/cheese/milk/eggs/anything else produced from animals it is always free range, and organic.
i feel that it would be VERY hypocritical and plain fucking stupid to not eat meat because of..say..battery farms, when eggs can be, and are produced in that (fucking disgusting) way too.

No matter what i do though, there is always going to be someone there telling me i'm wrong:
- eating fish when i don't eat meat
or
- eating dairy products- "turn vegan!"
or
- wearing leather/ sitting on leather

etc etc

and i'm just going to have to deal with that.
i call myself vegetarian, because i am more comfortable saying that than saying "i don't eat meat"
i don't know why, but i can do that if i want to!!

although, i don't know what i'm going to do when i go to iceland they eat:
- shark (half rotted)
- sheep head
- puffin
- sheeps testicles
- whale (GR!)

haha joking- if Jónsi can manage being vegan and living in iceland, i'm sure i can manage! (:
[i can always EAT FISH]

haha:

shame i'm not allowed to stay up and watch the new series tonight D:< p.s.

a crack on the head is what you get for not asking

oh great. oh brilliant. oh wonderful. oh lovely
there is something even worse than twitter.
another wonderful site where lovely narcissistic people can post short (and pointless) updates on their very interesting lives is just what we need.

but this is even better than that.
on this site, you can post audio clips of your wonderful adventures. (ie what time you got up this morning, that you had scrambled egg for breakfast- all very exiting.)

so this site is not even just for narcissistic people, it is also for narcissistic people who love the sound of their own voices!
wonderful!
to post some lovely narcissistic and intresting updates, go here:

i ...aquired...this today:

1. "Sweet and Tender Hooligan"
2. "I Keep Mine Hidden"
3. "Work Is a Four-Letter Word"
4. "What's the World?" (live)

I love the way at the start of What's The World? where morrissey forgets who its by haha
"this was written by...err ..erm.." then the song starts (:

p.s

London Calling

Work experience was grreat, more like a holiday though tbh........
i mean it was hard sometimes, but my working hours were great! 10-4 woo

i went to oxford street, it was horrible. big topshop was too big and there were too many people. i didn't see anthing i liked that wasn't stupidly priced.
did get a peacock top in H&M though, i have been looking for one for YEARS! (i'm not kidding either, i really have)

Camden wasn't all it was cracked up to be..
too tourist-y. couldn't take much of it, it was pretty full on and busy
was okay though.
these were the best things about camden
(don't know why i look so evil in this picture..)

When i asked the guy at the stall if he had any smiths tees, he said
"yes they are in this box, reserved for our special smiths fans with good taste " he was fit too. yay

and in another vintage shop, they were playing The Boy With The Thorn in His Side and the guy who worked there was singing along really loudly ...he looked like he was enjoying himself ;)

i really wanted to write "franz" at the top in permanent marker haha

Wewent to a lovely little cemetry on saturday, all over grown and wild:
