Can I get a Venti Java Chip Frappuccino, Double Blended, To Go, Please?
Oh yes - today I deserve overtly-homosexual, dramatically over-named coffees. Don't worry, however. Even I am too manly to order the aforementioned coffee - and go for my regular weapon of choice - the far more manly "Mocha with Whipped Cream".
I often stand there, alone, at the front of the queue - frantically searching through my numerous coffee shop loyalty cards in order to pull out the one that will save me a whole twenty pence whilst the people stand behind me, chuckling about what beverage I have selected - however - I don't care. Of course I don't! I've got a script to finish!
Basically, I am working on a film noir at the moment - and despite the fact that it's only to be about five minutes long, and I've been working on the script for weeks - It's still not finished! However, I have not thrown in the hypothetical towel yet as the reason I am allowing what I call "script snobbery", and what others are calling "being a social recluse with no life and no chance of ever getting a girlfriend" to take place - as this film will play a huge part in my university application. Tonight, I've decided that although I do have to go to my Saturday job tomorrow, I am pulling a now trademarked "all-nighter" to make progress, and will naturally rely on one of my local coffee shop's manly beverages to maintain me through tomorrow.
Still, with "operation for awesome" AKA "Applying to uni" now in full effect - I don't mind pulling more all-nighters, and besides, you get to hear some mighty interesting sounds at half-past-silly when you live in an urbanised area; - the kind of thing that sounds mildly reminiscent to every episode of "eastenders" being crammed into a sandwich, and fed to you through your ears in just thirty seconds.
Anyway, the script has a horrible habit of not writing itself, So I'm going to get back on with it!
If I am alive, check back Monday to find out what happens!
Peace.
PS. I have installed a new, brighter light bulb today. I don't like how dull the old one was - it made the hallway look scary at night - which made me afraid of using the toilet.

Congestion Charge In Operation.
Funny, really - come to think of it.
Every day, thousands of commuters have to pay to travel through London because they are causing "congestion" - despite the fact that they are trying to help the economy by working. However, I woke up this morning feeling rather congested myself; Sore throat, and a blocked nose - yet, when I attempted to get the illness to "cough up" it's £5.70 fee - it simply responded by sending my chest into a involuntary spasm, causing me to pretty much fall over and kill myself in the shower - and I've already established I've died enough recently.
However, this cold going around at the moment does provide it's advantages. A few of you may remember by mad dash for the toilets last week in order to change for college? Well - the teacher who teaches us the the lesson before that dash had also fallen to swine / bird / chicken / mongoose flu, allowing me to casually stroll along the empty corridors, make my way to the toilet - get changed, sit down - and take a nice, hard...
...Cold and flu tablet to help relive my symptoms.
Anyway, today, I have been making a real effort on my personal statement. For those of you that don't know what a personal statement entails - it is an application letter to university that actually promotes the use of narcissism! What a fun, fun way to spend a few evenings! Writing a letter about how great you are which will actually see the light of day as opposed to being filed down the back of your bed with the rest of them so that you can one evening pull them all out again, and read through them enjoying a escapist sequence in which you single-handedly cure cancer, enforce world peace - and end global hunger by simply reciting one of Nickleback's albums on the kazoo, and, as such, will a Nobel prize as presented by Mr. T for "Awesomeness to the highest level".
Of course, in actuality, its the first time in my life I've actually had the heart rate of an Olympic runner who has just been made jump by the starter pistol, run sixteen marathons, realised he hasn't filed his tax return and noticed that the world is currently watching him through there TV screens as he begins his race to give Britain another bronze medal...all at the same time whilst I'm sitting here, writing this statement. Why? Well, I have found this course called "Broadcast Operations", which may as well be called "Hey there, you know everything you ever wanted to learn and aspire to going into as you grow older in sense of a epic career? Well here it is." Of course, this title was rejected as it didn't quite fit on the UCAS website.
Anyway, this statement is still very much a work in progress, so I'm going to need to get back on with it. Feel free to make yourself a cup of tea, and maybe watch some TV. Isn't Futurama on Sky One this evening?
Peace.
PS. Today, at college, I ate a Prawn & Lettuce baguette. It was very nice. If you get the opportunity to eat a Prawn & Lettuce baguette, I recommend you take it.
