Prpductive Procrastination...

Meep. It's been like 6 days or something since I superglued my eye shut. It's still not open and it looks and feels like someone's punched it because i rubbed it too much. It's getting more and more open though. I have a feeling it'll be pretty much open some time in the next 24 hours. IT'S SO FUCKING ITCHY! >.<

Meep. I have psychology homework. I have no idea what to do, hence the usual procrastination. I have double psychology in like 5 hours... I hope it doesn't have to be in today.

For the last 2 days I've been watching a film called Cronos. I keep falling asleep during it though. I think it's mainly to do with one of my eyes being shut. It takes hoobloads of effort to keep the other eye open. In fact, I think I'll attempt to finish watching it when I've finished writing this. Might as well do something mildly productive as a form of procrastination... Wow... Productive procrastination, how paradoxical!

Wow. I have nothing else to say. Hoobletoodledoo!

beauty, glue and zen buddhism

This blog may or may not be coherent. I had it well structured in my head about half an hour ago, but then I kind of forgot about it and remembered it, so yeah...

A year ago things were slipping to say the least. Currently, nothing's perfect but it's a lot less unperfect than it was this time last year. I'm rather happy with right now. =]

A year ago I was living in Manchester. I miss it a lot and still agree that it's a better place than Wales. I loved it there, but I've realised that I definitely prefer not living with my mum. It's not because I don't like my mum, it's just that we're not compatible in a residential environment.
Manchester was beautiful. The buildings were a lot more interesting than the ones here. I liked all the variation in the structure and architecture there. I found all the graffiti and dark alleys and stuff beautiful (not that there's not any of that stuff here, but it fits in better with Manchester). I've always found beauty in decay, and the beauty in urban decay is no different. Wales is beautiful too, but in a more stereotypical way with the beauty in nature and whatnot and there's still a satisfactory amount of urban decay. Meep. I wanna say something about chav culture here but I can't think what to say... Fuck it, there's beauty everywhere!!

I've been learning all about Zen Buddhism (for sociology homework which now has diet coke spilled all over it) and it seems to make more sense than most religions/philosophies/whatever.

Ooohh... on Sunday, I was fixing a yoyo and got superglue all over my hands. Stupidly, I rubbed my eye and couldn't move my finger from it. I felt like a right retard sitting in A&E with my finger stuck to my eye. Eventually my finger got seperated. Unfortunately, my eye is still glued together. I have a patch on it and people keep making pirate jokes. The pirate jokes were funny at first (like the whole situation was!) but now I'm getting fed up of them. I'm also fed up of only being able to use one eye. I wonder how long it'll take for my eye to open. So far no amount of water, soap, salt, vaseline and other random crap has worked. My eye is so fucking itchy and annoying. It's gone all swollen and ick. Cyanoacrylate is evil! But still, LOL@me :P

In applied sciency biologyness I got 77% in a test about the heart, the cardiac cycle etc. I was rather proud of that, as I don't think I've got over 50% in a test without cheating for years! I also got 9/20 in psychology and that was without any revision, so yay! I keep doing better in things than I expect. =]

Must dash, need to tidy my desk! Hoobletoodledoooo!
