Disaster Has Struck

It seems that the race for 2nd race in the Premership is over, bar a miracle. Manchester United have lost the last two games to Norwich (2-0)- who have only managed to win like 4 games all season (figure to be checked), and Everton (1-0) who they haven't lost against since 1995 in the FA Cup Final which finished 1-0 (i remember watching it). Ah not only did they lose but they had two players sent off - Gary Neville and Paul Scholes - furthering our troubles with our squad - something we have had a lot of trouble with all season. If you ask me, things were fine until Fergie got rid of David Beckham - the Wonder Boy.
The only consellation we got from the game, came from Wayne Rooney, who sensationally left Everton last season to move to Manchester United. A move which outraged many Everton fans. Rooney was again abuse with verbal chants all the way through the game, however didn't really lose it - he left that to Gary Neville who kicked a ball into a kids face. What was funny was that Wayne turned to the Park End of Goodison Park and kissed the Man Utd badge, which really got the Everton fans all worked up. Brilliant stuff from Wayne Rooney there. Best move he's made all season.
I fear for the FA Cup Final against Arsenal which is on May 21st. Good luck lads.

I'd like to confirm the death of....

I would like to confirm the death of my laptop. It's the second time my laptop died within 6 months. So i'm having to go to the computer lab to do work. Which means people, i won't be able to go on msn until i get the laptop sorted out. But if people i know have AIM - Aol Instant Messenger - i'm on that and i can get that on the uni computers. Add my addy - SIMONSENLIS
What happened - and this is just conjecture - is that a Trojan Horse virus was slowly killing my hard drive - AGAIN, and yesterday 21/04/05 it finally attacked everything that it had got into to. Now it won't get past the Toshiba screen cos it's corrupted all my windows files, so it can't find windows - cos it aint there. So i need to rebuild it. Which will cost me like 60quid. Not a lot but its still money that i don't have.

The death of my laptop means i have lost all my work that i have done over this year at uni. I have lost over 600 photos that i have taken at uni. I have lost the poetry that i wrote over Easter that i haven't have time to post on my DeviantArt page. Lost all my music that i had recorded. I'm starting to slowly hate technology now. Bring back the pen and paper anyday.
Yesterday was a really bad day. Not only did people change their minds about going to the cinema to see The Interpreter - 5 minutes before it was due to start, but i lost a poem that i wrote in Popular Culture last week, i think i lost in a lecture, and i also got an email from my English teacher saying to go and see him to explain why i had poor attendence for the past 12 weeks. Uh-oh. Despite the beautiful weather which eradicated my SAD, but started my Hayfever - yesterday was crap. Period.

Once again it's a sad day in the Marshall flat

My laptop has broken. It just won't load up. It did this morning, and i left it on whilst i went to my ONE lecture, came back and it was alright, then i went out onto the field to lay around and chat with people, because it was really warm today, and the field was packed with people. Anyway, i went back to my room at like 5 and i ran the virus scan. 20 minutes into the scan, it had picked up a Trojan Horse virus on part of the bootdisc. Then it stopped responding, so i reset the laptop, and since it hasn't been able to load up. I've tried to boot up using Safe Mode, but it still gets stuck on that. Anyone know what i could do?
_____________________________________________________

Today it reached nearly 18c in Northampton, and everyone was out on the field, catching the rays. It was warm though, well for us. People right now actually have BBQ's out on the field between Simon Senlis and William Carey. It seems that Spring has indeed started and we are seeing the beginnings of an early summer. Hmm, it's all good then. (holly is it GRAVY?)

Stand Up Speak Up

Hey i finally got my stand up speak up wrist band. The same day I found that it's now cheapers - BASTARDS.

anyway, racism is a big problem in worldwide football at the moment, and it is everyone's problem. There's is something you do. Wear the wristband and stand together with players and other fans to show the racists that we are not going to stand for their behaviour anymore.

Another cause i'm supporting at the minute is MakePovertyHistory

A child dies of extreme poverty every three seconds. Think about it. EVERY THREE SECONDS. That's 30,000 kids dying a day. That's 30 children died in the time it took you to read this post .

Natasha Bedingfield

I urge you to all go buy Natasha Bedingfield's new single - I Bruise Easily - i love the song, and as a B Side it's got the Brits performance she did with her much more talented brother Daniel Bedingfield - it's going on my mini disc as soon as i go back to Uni. The song they did, incase you didn't know is Ain't Nobody. I loved the song - and now i love it even more.

I Dream Of Them

Okay, why do i keep on dreaming about the Spice Girls in concert? I've had it like three times within the last year or so. And hey, Holly - you're there too go crazy when they come on stage, and when i get on stage with them, you get all crazy, but then again when i start talking to Geri i run around around yelling HELLO GERI HELLO GERI HELLO GERI (it's the old geri by the way - the Ginger that died in Look at Me) But Holly - You Spice Girl Lover!

Northern Star

I've been listening to an artist a lot recently, and i totally connect with this song now. It's called Northern Star and it's by Melanie C (she's so much better without the other Spice Girls), and she's nothing like them when she's on her own. Check out her new album BEAUTIFUL INTENTIONS released on her own label - Red Girl Records, out now. I'll be linking her website soon under MUSIC links

Here's the lyrics to Northern Star

They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell

If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide?

They build you up
So they can tear you down
Trust the ocean
You'll never drown
Who is next?
Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see

I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies
And goodbyes
Northern Star

Fulfil a longing in your heart
And we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true

They buy your dreams so they can sell you soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come
Feelings go

I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes

Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star

I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes

Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star

Thinking life is shit

Sometimes i wonder why am i living if i think that life is shit? Wow, and this isn't even the point at which life depresses me.
I think about it, and i realise that what is harder than living life, is ending it.

Paul's Land

I'm so mad at the minute because i can't log onto my natwest account online, it says that the password has changed - which it so hasn't - which can only mean one thing - a hacker - and if they have, and what i read on my account balance from the ATM was right, i am fucked all over again. So once again i'm going to have to trott down to Natwest on Thursday to ask for a statement so i can check everything - there is no way i've spent nearlly all my money already - i know i didn't have a lot this term but there's no way i've spent it in a week - isn't that like so impossible?
I wish it was sunny, so could go on Paul's Land to take pictures. Once again, i think i am going to have to wait til summer to do this.
I've become slightly addicted to Theme Park World - i've built a total park within like 3 hours, and i made like 30,000 within 5 minutes. Oh i love it, it's such a classic computer game.
And i just got told off by my Grandad for writing FUCKED, "you could have wrote FUKD" yeah like it's any better.

I Feel Just Like I'm Sinking And I Claw For Solid Ground

I haven't felt this low in a long time, and monday night was about the worse night of it all. Talk about not feeling wanted. I mean, why the fuck did i stay around, i should have just left when i said i was going to, but instead i stay to please other people. To make sure that people knew not of what i was going through. Which still didn't work because i wasn't smiling, and i couldn't. What am i supposed to do? Fake smile to please other people? Bull shit. I need a break from all this already, and i've only been back for a week. How bad is that?! But at least i'll be cheered up hopefully at the weekend. This feeling of loss, is like someone has died, which of course they haven't and this feeling of wanting what i can't have (only a stone's throw away) is also depressing me. Being confused also about life in general is a bummer. Confusion has been the root of my childhood, and now finally in adulthood, i'm unable to shake it - what CAN i do to get rid of it. I can't talk about things, because i don't do that kind of thing. Even to myself. Especially to myself. Something that happened a long time ago, i've only just been able to except, Uni has finally made me realise this. Life is hard. Life is shit. But it's worth living, because there is nothing better.

I Urge You!

I urge you to stop what you are doing right now, and wear your watch on the opposite arm - how wierd does it feel????????? Very to me, i felt so uncomfortable wearing it on my right wrist.

"I'm not your fucking mother"

The Ring 2 - whilst it not be good - wasn't THAT bad. I liked it just for the comment from Rachel (Naomi Watts) "I'm not your fucking mother" and also Aidan/Samara eating the the PBJ sandwich was pretty funny - in fact i wanna see it again just so i can laugh at it all over again.

The Game Is On

Does anyone remember the comedy show Game On? It was on the BBC in the mid 90s. It is quite possibly one of my favourite shows ever! It went down after series one - and the reason? I don't think Neil Stuke has quite the same presence as Ben Chaplin did playing Matthew. Ben Chaplin - the most underrated English actor. In such great films as Birthday Girl and Murder By Numbers, amongst other.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

This is a pretty good interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar - and when i say good, i mean hilarious.

Consequences

Does sex change a friendship?

Something to think about.

Showtime

Good movies that i have seen this holiday whilst i have been a home are:
Bully, Grand Theft Parsons and Cheaters. Think all should check these out


Bully

Live. Love. Kill. For Kicks.
Acclaimed director Larry Clark delivers his most powerful film since Kids. Marty (Brad Renfro) is a tormented surfer who, despite vicious abuse, relies on his longtime pal, Bobby (Nich Stahl), for rides to the beach and local South Florida bars. When Bobby turns his unwanted attention to Marty's new girlfriend Lisa (Rachel Miner) and her best friend Ally (Bijiou Phillips), Lisa decides Bobby's reign of terror must end. Assembling a crew of alienated suburban teens, she forms a deadly plan to get Bobby out of the way once and for all. As the conspiracy unfolds, friends turn into enemies and casual acquaintances become co-defendants to a murder that rocked America to its core.

The emotional tax from that film just basically ran me down that couldn't spoil it by watching another film. But this film is very good. I kept on wondering where the film was set and i was like its Australia but they were talking in American accents so i was like it can't be....but it totally looks like down under.

Grand Theft Parsons

Based on a true story: it's better to burn out than to fade away!
There are times when it's right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times. Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a genius who knew Elvis and the Stones and led the Byrds. As fame and fortune came within his grasp, he died unexpectedly in 1973.
When Gram's best friend and road manager Phil Kaufman (Johnny Knoxville) hears the news, he gets busy to fulfil an old promise - to cremate his buddy in the majestic desert wilderness of Joshua Tree. The plan looks great but there are snags - he has to steal the body from under the noses of the authorities, then evade the police, Gram's father and an avenging ex-girlfriend, with only a stoned hippy for company and driving a psychedelic hearse!

ah just for the fact that Christina Applegate is in this

Cheaters

Chicago's Steinmetz High School doesn't have a hope of winning the state's academic contest. Their rival - Whitney Young - is a winning school that hand-picked it's way to the top. But one teacher and his students know they can succeed with the right about of study, the right application, the right discipline... the right answers.
When one of them steals the test papers, the biggest question becomes: should they cheat their way to the trophy? Winning will make or break the rest of their lives, and for the first time they have all the right answers - except one.

Made me question my morals on cheating

Home
