Friday, 23 May 2003 01:24I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE AN EXAM EVER AGAIN!
*unless, um... I do an MA... Or re-take the driving theory test, which I need to do because it expireds.
Have a claw in place of a hand now and my back just canes from sitting in the horrible chairs they have in the George Fox building. On the bright side, I HAVE NO MORE EXAMS! My friends hate me now, because they do! I have no sympathy for any of them, except for Natasha who is v. stressed and John who will have done 18 hours of exams by the end. Compared to my, um, nine hours. *cough*

liss1224's character memes have given me lots of inspiration for my own stuff, which would have been fantastic except it all seemed to come to me during my exam today when I was meant to be writing about Jimmy Cagney and Jean Harlow. I came up with a fantastic idea for a wartime screenplay I've started except that by the time I was out of the exam and at home, I'd forgotten it. Bugger.
Today's episode of Top of the Pops 2, the nostalgia version of TOTP had Kylie & Jason doing 'Especially For You' way back in January 1989. Shuddered to remember the Old Days when Jason Donovan was the epitome of masculine perfection to me and millions of other seven year olds. Shuddered to remember those dark days when I used to listen to pop music. Made me laugh that Jason got all the screams and cheers in the video of their TOTP performance but now, fourteen years later, everyone knows who Kylie is. Remembered why I hate Kylie, too. The girl was wearing big raspberry earrings and an embroidered waistcoat, for the foreheads of Ant & Dec's sake! Suddenly feel quite old. Is 1989 really that long ago?
My dad called earlier and woke me from a nap. Can't remember any of the conversation. Hope he didn't tell me anything important.
Last but Not Least: Big Congratulations tosmilie117 on your Graduation! You rock mate!
