Im sick of hayfever, my head feels like its going to explode from itching.

I have finished Rough Draft 2.

I like it, I felt a little bit emotional when cutting and pasting part of it.

I think ive put more into the zine this time, and for me thats important.

Anyway.

"I love animals!" "But you eat them, how is that love?"


The photo above is myself, and a 6 month old labradoodle.

I think, personally, it shows me in my element.

I just watched a video that has left me in tears.

It reminds me why I chose to become vegetarian and more recently, Vegan.

I dont rant/talk about veganism much but its the best choice I have ever made.

Im currently downloading series 2 of 'Arrested Development'

As some will know, I have no telly in my flat right now, which for me is actually not a bad thing, Im getting to use my brain, by reading and writing.

Alas, I have made it through several of my boxsets on my laptop, one of them being series 1 of the above mentioned show.

I found myself sniggering and now as I type this I hear Will Arnetts voice, I was a fan of Jason Bateman before, but now, I am an Arnett convert.

I dont want to think about getting the end of series 3......

Also another thing.....

THE IT CROWD is back on June 25TH......

Next to Spaced that show IS the best Uk comedy show.......fact.....

Today I went to the zinefest, hung out and did some lolz with the best friend (and later Ms Hang) we sat being food punx and swapped tales of gossip, about people we dont even know.

I was looking forward to 2 things this weekend, one lived up to expectations, hanging out with lblf was as usual a hoot, and just a genuine good time.

The other was the zinefest.

I went to my first ever zinefest last year, at the same venue, this year, it was bare.
It felt so empty and there wasnt a good atmosphere. I dont know whether, as I discussed with a friend it was because the 2 zine fairs were held within a fortnight of each other, or maybe because the travel was horrific.

Anyway, my main gripe was with one particular stall/distro and her attitude. I wont name names, but I think if you are a distro/zinester you need to be approachable, this 'community' we are part of is about intergration, and building new relationships and growing, we wont get anywhere if we start getting elitest about it.

If I had gone to the zinefest this year, as my first one (rather than last year), I dont think I would have the passion for zines/writing and DIY culture as I do now, and thats sad, because I cant imagine my life without it in it.

This is a ramble.

I apologise.

I loved the debut, and then hype took over.

I didnt want to like this album, to say I love it is an understatement.

Listen to it, at your peril, its flipping awesome/catchy.

Also they blew me away live, getting better and better.
Im back!

Not that anyone reads this anyway.

I have moved, and settled into my new flat well.

I am back at my parents, as well its cheaper to get to Ldn tommorow and its an excuse to tickle my dog, and use the internet. (obviously seeing everyone is nice too)

I cant be arsed to bore you with all things that are going on.

My health/mental health is good.
I am reading more.
I am this close to finishing issue 2.
I have joined my local roller derby girls, in the hope of making new friends. Its fun, I ache. The girls are lovely.
I miss my best friend.
I miss my sister.
I miss having a decent bed to sleep on.
I am looking for a new job.
I missed my dog.


I am off to the zinefest tommorow, I have been looking forward to this since last year. Eeee.

Bye.
