The Good
- Got my new PIN sent through so I can finally buy food again. Dicko hungry no more! I was getting sick of having to gamble and eat stuff in the fridge which was up to a week out of date! Yuk!
- Picked up my Arctic Monkeys tickets from the post office depot this morning. Its next Saturday night, Eagles of Death Metal supporting too, should be amazing. I dont really know any Eagles songs but to be honest I can't wait to see a big live show again for the first time since Beni
- My essays going to plan. More today, day off tomorrow so I'll do some then, and then writing it up this weekend so its ready for Monday. Nice.
- The Sunshine Underground posted the video for their new single, "Coming To Save You" last night and it looked top. Its been taken down now though? I love that band

- I'm getting paid £50 tomorrow from Sheffield Parties for all the flyering and commission from the last week and a half.
- Next week is reading week.
- Last night at about 5AM someone got shot outside the main gates of the forge (yes you read that right!). I got woken up by a text about 10 mins after it had happened from a girl at the other end and she said there was police everywhere. I went outside this morning on my way to uni and sure enough, all sealed off, and about 10 police cars all parked up, then when I came back from Uni it was all gone and back to normal which was a bit odd. I asked around a bit and no-one seemed to know what actually happened, whether the guy was a student or not or if he even survived. And now the front of the forge is back to normal apart from one police car so I'm guessing he must be OK? Strange times.
- Cippo (ill) and Rick have both gone home so its just me and Angus in the flat. We're both doing this essay so i suppose its better for that but at the same time I am a bit bored!
- Rick did my head in the other night calling me dry and actually getting mad because I've got more money than him but sometimes I just don't fancy going out. Was being dead confrontational over nothing. Did my head in. I think its because of my card situation and he had to lend me £25, and then maybe that went to his head? Also because I didn't watch United with him (why would I? I hate them, and while he says he watches city with me, united play 2-3 times a week so i'm not going to watch them every time.) Whatever.
- Plug on Tuesday for Geoff''s birthday wasn't a particuarly good night. Bars were understaffed, the arena wasn't anywhere near being full either. The Dj, Dan Hills was well good mixing in loads of Dubstep and Drum n Bass with top 40 stuff which was class but at the end of the night I was smashed and just left thinking what was the point in that, £25 owed to Rick for what was a proper mediocre night. I think on Tuesdays I'll just stick to Crystal.
