Well, here I am again to detail the particulars of my life to...no-one in particular.
Charlotte's leaving do last night...went to a cocktail bar in Covent Garden called Dirty Martini.
Was way good. I had a 'Spicy Melon' martini which was just melon-flavoured pain in a glass. Then I had a chocolate martini...which was like chocolate milkshake mixed with strong liqueur and therefore great.
Good times :) I'm really sad Charlotte is leaving though...it won't be the same in the house without her :(
In other news:
Currently writing a personal statement for this Publishing MA I'm hoping to do next year- I never thought I'd have to write another one of these things again! Every time I read through it a little more of my self-confidence dies within me.
I'm really thinking I want another piercing at the moment (somewhere other than my ears). I'm 21, so maybe the time when I could get away with weird piercings has passed- but I really wouldn't mind getting my lip done, or in crazier moments, my septum :\ Is this a late reaction to not rebelling enough in my teenage years?
Maybe.
Even now, I probably wouldn't dare in case my mum disowns me or something (which she's quite capable of doing). Rock AND Roll, ay?

Colt.44 |

This is Colt.44's new music video :D (i.e- Adam's band). It looks really professional, and whilst I'm not entirely happy with the rather vast amount of naked female flesh going on, I'm still a proud girlfriend :)
KNOCK IT BACK OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!
Completely irrelevant but just as cool, an old interview with Katie-Jane Garside:
She's speaking a load of bullshit and next to her my social awkwardness is nothing!
She's amazing :)

Without you I'm Nothing: Placebo |

'I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
You're slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all'
I forgot how good Placebo were.
In other news-
Proof that EVERYONE (even supermodels) looks better with clothes ON:
Don't get me wrong- I personally think she's beautiful- and she looks about one billion times better than me naked (but that goes without saying!). I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me, but- isn't the suggestion of nakedness always more alluring than actual nakedness? (for the sake of saving face I'll pretend that that's a rhetorical question, seeing as nobody will be reading these entries!) I suppose Lily Cole was trying to 'make a statement' or whatever by posing for such stark-looking nude photos...hmmm...anyway...this photo-shoot is probably millions of years old- just something I discovered on my google-trawling.
PS: A while ago I had a conversation with somebody on the subject of 'girl-crushes' (i.e- when a girl has a bit of a 'thing' for another female but isn't a lesbian). Here are my girl-crushes:
Patti Smith, Karen O, Kathleen Hanna, Katie-Jane Garside and Grace Slick. There are more, but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind. EMMA! If you are reading this, I request that you write an entry on your girl-crushes just so I don't feel like a big, fat lesbian by myself-thanks! (and because I'm interested to know!)
P.P.S- It may or may not gratify you to see that neither Katy Perry nor the orange-haired slag from Paramore has made my list :D

Imaginary Love: Rufus Wainwright |

My fringe. Gyargh. I've been cutting it myself for about 2 months now as I'm attempting to grow out my hair and don't want to pay a stupid amount of money at a hairdresser's just to get the fringe trimmed *exhales* BUT I have about as much hairdressing capability as small child with no arms and learning difficulties- needless to say I have completely botched it. DAMN DAMN DAMN.If it weren't so tragic it would actually be funny...when I first starting doing it there was ALMOST (keyword-almost) a vaguely fashionable DIY look going on but now there's long bits and short bits and gaps *flails* It makes me very sad.
Facebook. Yeah, ok, well I'm on there right now so slightly hypocritical but I'm gradually despairing more and more over the fakeness of it all:
-The subtle manipulative techniques you can use to make people jealous- like oooh I'll put up loads of photos of myself slagging it up at some vile club so that nobody can miss that I'm having a better time than they are.
- The cryptic status updates ('oh, look how philosophical I am, look at me I'm such a deep thinker!Fuck off! If you're such a visonary go and write some poetry or ponder the nature of existence rather than waste your amazing *ahem* insight on a facebook staus update- twat!)
- The blatantly obvious attention-seeking status updates (SO AND SO IS: KILLING THEMSELF BECAUSE THEIR LIFE IS SO SHIT-in so many of these instances I just want to click the 'Like' button)
-Its utilisation as a tool for arse-licking (Ohh! You look so AMAZING in this photo! I JUST WANT TO BE YOU! *BUM SEX*)
-The frantic pursuit of new 'friends' just so you can add them to your facebook soul collection (I feel there should be something in brackets here for consistency but I don't really...have anything more to say on this subject *awkward silence* )
AND GENERALLY the whole voyeuristic, claustrophobic, addictive disgustingness of it all. Why do people who NEVER liked me at school add me (or try to add me?) Why do people who don't know me add me based on the fact that we have 15 'mutual friends' or whatever? (Just because I know the same people as you, doesn't mean I know YOU- GO AWAY!) Why do people who wouldn't even give me the time of day in real life add me?-
'Ok so you're not QUITE cool enough to hang out with and you know, I wouldn't want to actually be seen...by other people...with you, but I'll condescend to have you as a friend on facebook *smug, benevolent look* You may kiss my foot.'
Like I said...hypocritical...I've probably done all of these things more than once but I'm starting to hate myself for it. I feel a facebook detox may be in the offing. Urrgh.
There are other things that are pissing me off at the moment but as I seem to have wasted all my powers of articulation in that little facebook rant I will condense these:
hard-to-reach yet noticeable facial hair, still having the skin complexion of a pubescent teenage boy,persistent ex-girlfriends (urgh), permanent sore throat, elitism, the evil persuasive charms of chocolate...
THAT IS ALL. KTHXBYE.

Hmmm...I had a dream last night that I was googling random things (oh god, even in my dreams!) and that I came across this really bizarre website which was like facebook but, instead of adding your friends, you added people you hated...like some kind of fucked up cyber-bullying network! Also, instead of setting up an account yourself,somebody could set up one for you, so that when you got onto the website you could search for yourself and find out how many people already hated you...if I remember correctly only one person hated me. Whoever it was had compiled a list of my faults (which seemed to all be based around my lack of sporting ability) and had also recorded all my exam results since GCSEs- INCORRECTLY! :O :O :O having all your insecurites and flaws affirmed on a social networking site is one thing but- A D IN A-LEVEL HISTORY?! FUCK OFF! Anyway, the dream ended with me thinking of ways to take revenge on this individual as well as searching for people to add to my hate list.
First thing I did this morning- checked google to see if such a site actually exists. Doesn't. What a shame. Now I'm thinking the dream may have been a kind of epiphany- I NEED TO MAKE THIS SITE! Yeah...or...I'm just spending too much time on the internet.........nah...well..possibly.
In other news- I found out about this flesh-eating superbug called 'necrotizing fasciitis' yesterday- it sounds BRUTAL! And could also quite easily be the name of some Scandinavian black-metal band, don't you think?
'The disease, which is becoming more common, is an infection which sweeps through the body, internally and externally, so quickly THAT IT CAN ACTUALLY BE SEEN SPREADING (!!)'
I'll no doubt convince myself that I have this disease when I next catch a cold. Score.
Oh and by the way I dare you to type 'necrotizing fasciitis' into google image-search. DARE YOU!

So...who is coming to this awards evening jobby thing at school pray tell?
The Lowdown:
Working this Saturday from 12-4. I actually quite enjoyed last Saturday...I'm working with lots of nice people, including two guys called Ollie and Jay (yes. How appropriate) who both look like Lewis's long lost brothers. You should SO come and work there Lewis...you'd feel right at home....literally. Because you'd be working with your long lost brothers....
I also worked with two people who'd come all the way from Monmouth in Wales just to work in Wokingham because they're experienced and shizz and there was a boy called Jack who I'd imagine Melina would class as 'WELL fit' because....I'm blessed with a sixth sense that allows me to instantaneously recognise what Melina would find attractive....WHAT?! AND YOU'RE NOT?!
Course is going alright. Still not overly fond of the people but I'm getting distinctions on my practice exam papers and what not so it's all good.
Ummm....scarf scarf scarf scarf scarf...

So....
My driving instructor has turned from nice to crazy psycho bastard in two weeks. My mum thinks that he's trying a new tactic as a way of encouraging me (ummm...logic?). I personally think that he is on his period.
Training was alright...although it wasn't so much training as 'leave Lusana to her own devices because we are busy'....so I spent most of my time in the stock room putting new stock on hangers and putting size cubes onto those hangers and then putting those hangers in size order....ON A RAIL...I learnt a new technique of hangering clothes at super speed (Hangering is a word in my dictionary. Shut up). I got to grips with the cash and the card on the till but not cheques or gift vouchers....and they only went through everything once and then were like 'WELL....now that you're confident with the till'.....uhhhh....funnily enough. No. So now I'm slightly apprehensive about my first day at Wokingham because not only wasn't I confident on the till when I was on the till, but I'm being given a whole week to become even less confident...I personally think that I should be given another training session....perhaps in the morning when it isn't so busy...but you know....it'll never catch on.
That was an unnaturally long bullet point.
I don't really have anything else to report except that we might be getting a new budgie....and we want to call it Claude....as you do.....frequently....

I had my induction yesterday
It felt unnervingly as if I was being initiated into some form of cult...they have all sorts of code words and policies and a whole booklet about their 'philosophy' (I swear I'm not exaggerating).
For those of you who don't know I am now a weekend assistant at the new Fat Face store which will be opening in Wokingham on 18th November. So yes, everyone should come and...loiter outside it....or something.
I did some good loitering outside Boots whilst I was waiting for the induction to start *nods*
I am actually going to be working on 18th November from 12 until 6, which should be fun...if of course the meaning of the word fun is altered to mean extremely stressful and traumatic. That's providing I get through the training first, which I will be starting on Friday 10th from 2 until 6 at the Reading branch...there seems an awful lot to learn even without till training, so, yes...I predict a numerous number of spaz-outs :s ah well. Perseverance and all that shizz.
I would ideally have liked to have worked on one of the launch days but the other people stole all the hours...the thieving swine.
They weren't really thieving swine. They all actually seemed quite nice, and they all reminded me of people I already know, which was comforting, as well as a tad disconcerting:
-One guy looked like Lewis! Right down to NEW BEARD! and the bizarre sense of humour
-Another guy looked like Jack Osbourne...not that I know Jack Osbourne personally....but I COULD!...for all you know....
-One of the girls looked like Claire's sister, Laura
-Another one looked like that really small girl who was in the year below us at school...you know who I mean
-One of them looked like somebody from my sister's year.
-And the other...didn't look like anyone...oh dear.
I don't know if it's a requirement of the job to be under 5ft 5, but everybody on the induction must have been including the assistant manager person (who was also very nice, and bore an uncanny resemblance to my old primary school teacher)...so yes...I felt like a giant...
We were going to have to dress mannequins...but didn't in the end...
...Yes....
Anyway, all in all, it went quite well and the people were nice, so that's the main thing...it's also quite good because everyone is going to be new together so I won't feel intimidated by anyone's knowledge...yup...
In other news:
Course is going alright although beginning to get decidedly tedious....blah...only until January....
I'm re-reading Pride and Prejudice
I am also reading 'The History of English Literature'...which is a laugh a minute...as you can imagine....
I am knitting another scarf with BIG FUCK OFF NEEDLES and GLITTERY WOOL...it's going to be beautiful...you just wait...I wore my purple (or 'lilac'...whatever) scarf to the induction...I could see everyone coveting it...oh yes...well they weren't actually....*silence*
That is all.

Blah....blah.....blah.
I've noticed that my livejournal entries have once again all been one-liners as of late. This has to stop. Right now.
....or sometime in the near future because....I can't be arsed to write a PROPER entry at the moment, like.
However I do have this to say (in true Lusana form...with the bullet points and everything)
I wish all the luck in the world to everyone who is going/has gone to university or who is generally just doing something scarily grown up like Lewis and Liz, what with all their getting engaged and moving in together business.....or just you know, starting a new chapter in their life, turning over a new leaf....*insert more appropriate analogies*....like me. I hope.
I start my college course on Monday. At Wick Hill campus. THANK GOD. Not the scary Chruch Road one. So wish me luck for that.....18 weeks of intensive computery stuff with people I will try hard to like but inevitably won't.
I've made a new photoboard in my room. With photos of everyone on it! (funny, that) Made me feel a bit nostalgic :s
I have a second interview at Waitrose (Sunningdale Waitrose, for the record) tomorrow. So wish me even more luck for that.....I didn't even update with an entry about how stupid and pointless the last interview was either, did I?.....*shakes head* it just isn't good enough.
Everybody on livejournal who is going away is obliged to keep everybody else updated on how everything is going....or I will personally hunt you down....and say some not very nice words to you....you see if I don't.
This has actually turned into a proper entry now, hasn't it?
How convenient.

The results are in:
English Literature: A (May I be first to say......WHATDEFOOOKKKKKKMAAAAAAAATTTE?)
History: A (repeat above)
English Language: B (but....only 5 marks off an A....I got full marks in my coursework and 2 marks off full marks in one of my exams....so it would have been an A...if I had done slightly better last year/on the editorial paper......sorry, that was unnecessary....but....yay!)
and I got my letter from UCAS confirming my place at Royal Holloway. I'm really happy at the moment....well done to everyone else :)

[19 Aug 2006|10:23am] |
Hey everyone, in the an internet cafe right now like a cool dude trying to sort this UCAS thing out once and for all....
I think Royal Holloway have accepted me....it says unconditional if you have a place, right? ...I just don't get why they're not letting me reply to my offer....or whether I have to....arrrgh....I just want confirmation damn it! Meh....I'll have to wait until I get home to sort it out and whatnot now, I guess.....
anyway....hope everybody else has got what they wanted....I thank Claire and Steve for being on the end of some extremely frantic and probably totally incomprehensible text messages...and I thank Thom for that card that I received before I went on holiday but didn't mention until now......I will write you a proper e-mail at some stage.
So yes.
I have been informed by Claire that I have an A in history.....I still think that either she or Mr Murray is lying....because....you know....it's the sort of thing they do all the time....can't trust them.
ARRRRGH! I'm going now.
