Pack Up

This week has been all about deja vu, as yet again I am packing up my life and belongings to move back to Epsom. The last move was a disaster for reasons I really can't be arssed to go into! However my new flatmates seem absolutley lovely. We're holding a tea party soon so everyone can meet and greet. (Think fresh cupcakes, bunting, teapots)!

With one more week left of living on the Isle Of Wight, I'm all about the mixed emotions. I adore the way my life is here. I wouldn't change a thing! And the M.E is even starting to back off slightly. Though it's been kicking me in the arse over the past few days - anxiety/apprehesion/worry/stress correlate directly with the severity of my M.E!

What I'm trying to say is that I'm trying to embrace the change, and realise that I'll be enjoying the best of borth worlds! Work experience, living independantly and being near London are all plus points. I'm of course really excited to be seeing my Epsom friends again and making new ones (:

Mitchell and Webb have named a two-headed nutter after me. 
It has to be blog worthy!

Question Time

Okay.


So it's cool to be trendy. And trendy to be cool. (Obviously). 


To be a GEEK is now cool. 


Definition provided by Dictionary.com: 
Geek - a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.


Judging on everyday occurrences and teen dramas, most people avoid anyone who fits into this category as if they were carrying herpes. 


So is it only cool to pretend to be a geek? 




I'm not being high and mighty - I purchased 3 pairs of fake glasses and a brown satchel this week. I'm well into this trend.




Just a shame people generally don't go for a true geek. When's it a real nerd's time to get a look in? After all, while we're pretending to be geeks (and trying to be cool?), geeks pretend to be cool and get shunned.




Does anybody else find that quite peculiar? 

It ads up.

Adverts have become a great medium for discovering music. Previously snubbed by some musicians, it's now become a great way to get your tunes across and stuck in our heads, without looking too needy. Check these tunes out, which have really caught my eye/ear/nose(?)
