A new-ish wrestling promotion in Hackney is putting on a show called Time for Heroes in March, i should go 🤔 Tho it is the same day as Peter’s last show in Stockholm, which i might go to if he doesn’t cancel it again lol. Choices, choices~
City of God (Cidade de Deus), a Brazilian film set in a notorious favela in Rio de Janeiro, following two young boys from the 60s through to the 80s. It’s a powerful story but it’s also incredibly skilfully-made and atmospheric, and with a killer soundtrack too. It’s based on real people, and it’s brutal and tragic in many places, but it’s fascinating and absorbing and takes you on an amazing journey. And it came out here at the start of 2003, a year I’ve obviously been very nostalgic for recently, haha. I saw it in the cinema about 7 times, lol.

MY BEST FRIEND
My best friend is @shinyforce and she is wonderful and kind and soft and makes me kind of ashamed to not be as good a person as her but at the same time has made me better through knowing her! And she’s also very smart, supportive, understanding and fun to be around! Ily Helen~~
Oh I did already do L, but you can have another of my insecurities as well because I have so many, lol: my skin D: I mean just my entire face really, you really are invisible to – or, worse, scorned by – the world when you’re an unattractive woman, which is why I try and make myself noticeable by wearing striking outfits, lol.
I.
HAVE ANY TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS?
Nope! I keep thinking of tattoo ideas (I’d quite like a Yorkshire rose, and a mugendai, and a number 19) BUT I’m really intolerant to pain lol so I’m basically too scared when it comes down to it, haha.
P.
WHY I HATE SCHOOL.
I didn’t hate school, but I did hate PhD study, because quite frankly I never really had any idea what I was doing because nobody was there to tell me exactly what to do on a day by day basis, which is what I need if I’m going to succeed, really.
My eyes are blue, a not particularly exciting blue, but I have central heterochromia which means I have a light brown ring round my pupils! Get it from my mum.
Already did R!

CONCERTS I’VE BEEN TO
The last concert I went to was Queen!!! So happy I got to see them! Last year I saw: Songhoy Blues, Orchestra Baobab (twice), Libs (4 times including Tramlines), The Coral, and Toots & the Maytals (also both at Tramlines). I’ve never been a massive gig-goer but I’ve managed to tick off a lot of my faves, like Paul McCartney, The Monkees, Adam Ant, David Devant & His Spirit Wife, the Manic Street Preachers, and of course my beloved Kanjani8, a number of times. But not as many times as I’ve seen Jedward, hahaha.
In addition, off the top of my head I’ve seen: Cast (first gig!), Take That, Lonnie Donegan, Kula Shaker, Super Furry Animals, Polyphonic Spree, the Divine Comedy, Sons of Kemet, the Futureheads, Seu Jorge, Seasick Steve, Dizzee Rascal, George Clinton & Parliament, Johnny Dankworth & Cleo Laine, British Sea Power, Har Mar Superstar, the Supernaturals, Ten Benson, Electric 6 (apparently???), Rachel Stamp, Squarepusher, and I’m prob missing a bunch more, especially from my teens, but that’s enough!
Wait I forgot X! What would you do if you got a million [insert currency of your preference here (I choose pounds cos they’re prob the most worthful, even now haha)] right now?
Well, I’d definitely be booking some flights to Australia for roundabout the end of February time, along with some festival tickets 😉 And buying some grand prix tickets – admittedly with less fervour than I would have last year, haha, but it’d be nice to take the whole #Mafia to Monaco or something 😉
Always wondering how annoying I’m being at any given moment lol ;(
R.
FAVOURITE SONG AT THE MOMENT.
I’ve been thinking about and singing What A Waster all day so let’s go with that today
Already did S but as it’s a random one let’s have another fact about me lol: I have a PGCE (teaching qualification) but I hated the course so much that when I finished it (successfully, somehow) I never used it, lol.
Z.
HOW ARE YOU?
I’m alright rn, thanks! Because it’s the start of my “weekend” (don’t work Sunday/Monday) and this time next week I’ll be in Portugal 😀 😀 😀
Not wanting to be a downer but my dad died two days after my 17th birthday – it wasn’t so much his death that was the hardest thing, but he’d had cancer and seeing that was tough, especially when I was that age.

VIRGIN OR NOT?

S.
A RANDOM FACT ABOUT MYSELF.
When I took my A levels I was considered good at English (ha) so I took a Special paper, the significance of which I’ve never fully understood, but it was about 3 hours of creative writing and I “passed” so good for me I guess
