Thanks. Tomorrow (in its sense as the second day of school, not date-wise) actually marks the one year anniversary of my coming out to my mum. In a text message. "I'm gay." She was really great about it. My family (the American side at lesat) is all very liberal, so I have no problem at all there. I will study hard. I mean, plenty.

Yeah, a "back to school" topic. I just thought that as I'm going to bed and when I wake up it's going to be back to the daily grind and all that good stuff, I'd make a post here wishing a happy back-to-school for everyone else. For me, it's the last year of this, and I don't think it's come a year too soon. So, here's to a good year for everyone! Have fun all :)

I offer my most heartfelt condolences. There isn't much more I can say. I've never shared an experience like that, or had one ever even had one close to me. I find it hard to see how people can be so inhuman, though. I won't bog myself down in slagging off bigots or anything of that sort, just say that I'm sorry that this happened. I hope that the pain lessens in the near future. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

Music, music, music.... Well, first off, I must mention Muse. They're my favourite band by far, and I'm the type of person who usually makes a point of not picking favourites, which says quite a lot. My favourite songs by them are Butterflies and Hurricanes, and Citizen Erased, both of which are amazing. Other artists I enjoy listening to are Keane, Radiohead, Coldplay, Sigur Ros, all that good stuff. Franz Ferdinand, The Postal Service, Electric Six, Dido, Alanis Morrisette, Sheryl Crow, Death Cab for Cutie, Kate Bush, Evanesance, Modest Mouse, Jack Off Jill, the Amelie soundtrack, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and is too long for me to make any pretence as to its being at all interesting. However, that's basically the style I enjoy. Oh, and classical music. Paganini, Bach, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, etc. So yes. Lots of stuff.
