Dear Diary,

Have blown Christmas Money on CDs.

~Tamar.

(This would be very very bad if I'd got more than a tenner. As it was - Yay summer factory job, bulk-buy discounts and student discounts!)



Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Cradle of Filth - Damnation and a Day (wanted Thornography, but they didn't have it)
The Best of Deicide

LostProphets - Liberation Transmission
Paramore - all we know is falling (Emergency iTunes file)
Trivium - the crusade

Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Funeral For A Friend - casually dressed and deep in conversation

Fear Candy 36
36 Crazyfists - A snow-capped romance



ETA: The track 'Rookie of the Year' on the FfaF one won't rip.

It's weird how everyone seems to have gone off of Trivium since 'the crusade' came out. I mean, maybe I'm a no0b, but I like Heafy's new vocal style. 'Anthem' was the song that drew me to the band in the first place - I bought (and loved!) Ascendancy to fill in the time until Xmas. And the Kerrang! 2006 CD with 'Detonation' was icing. There's an interview with him in Kerrang!...

Yet still, Rammstein and Seth Lakeman have the most songs in my library. ^_^

Hello

Hello. Long time. How have you been?

A happy new year to you. You just popped into my head today and I thought I'd say hi. I don't have your email address anymore so this is my only way to contact you.

-Randy

You! *takes fighting stance*

*laughs*

I'm doing all right, I'm doing all right. I've applied for Physics at Cambridge, just finished a Winterfest challenge, infiltrated an Evangelical Church... It turns out that you're not such a weirdo, compared to that lot... *shudder*

Have a good 2007! ^_^

(PS. My email address is in my profile, you goose! XD)

"infiltrated an Evangelical Church?"

What does that mean?

Cambridge? Heavy duty stuff, ey?

I'll make a note of your email.

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Long story short: Friend converts heavily to one of the more negative branches of Christianity, I and other friends become worried about her, she invites my satanic, girl-loving self (sic) to her church in the hopes that I'll become like her (self-hating and dependant, as far as I can tell), I agree in order to check it out and report the danger-level to the other friends.

And now she has herself convinced that not only am I two-faced (true, in this case), but that the 'oh yes, I love hearing about how someone told someone who told you how we should live our lives' face is my 'true self'.

So everything's fucked up, if you'll excuse my Germanic.

I mean, everyone presents themselves differently depending on what company they are keeping. It's basic. If I'm wanting to find out what's eating her up inside, I've got to make the face I show as compatible with her views as possible - act as her foil, if you will.

But that face being put forward sometimes doesn't mean that I'm being 'false' when I'm acting normally - using blasphemous humour, flirting and looking critically at things that need it.

Sorry for the diatribe, but the subject always makes me want to vent. I shouldn't have mentioned it. -_-;;


Yar, Cambridge. Should be getting a letter of confirmation of offer/rejection any day now, actually... I found the interview process fun, so I hope I was eccentric enough

*smile* It should be good to speak with you again, Randy.

Good luck. I would think that would be a tough school to get into.

You're a wiccan, correct? Or is it athiest? I'm afraid I don't remember.

It's been a solid year since we've talked. I haven't logged into this thing since then. I thought a new "about me" was in order along with a new picture.

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Tough school? Ha! This is flipping Oxbridge we're talking about! O_O

I got rejected (http://tamerterra.livejournal.com/136055.html), I found out this morning. The interview process was well worth the trying, though. ^_^

Ah, my years of religious immaturity! I'm now a Miscellaneous Pagan with LaVeyan leanings. I've never been fluffy enough to be a Wiccan. XD Actually, I'm in the process of fashioning a new Sophia based on the difference between a writer and an author...

Solid year, eh? Seems longer.

Sorry

[kingjohn23.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that you were rejected.

According to livejournal, I left you a comment in early January of 2006. We wished each other happy new years.

Re: Sorry

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Oi! No pity from you, mate! There's opportunity in any setback, and the opportunity in this one is apparent.

I can go to Hull, if I want. Also, I needn't do double-maths. XD

How did you manage to find a comment left that long ago? O_o I lose them two weeks after falling off the end...

[kingjohn23.livejournal.com]

I read that as "I can go to hell, if I want" at first. I was like "What?"

You left it in my blog. Since I haven't updated anything since last year, it was right on top.

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

You amuse me. Do continue. XD

[kingjohn23.livejournal.com]

What else do you want me to say?

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

If I tell you what to say, what's the sense in your saying it?

[kingjohn23.livejournal.com]

You enjoy speaking in riddles, don't you?

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes I do.

And at this point, all of my skill at prolonging conversations is null. -_-;;

[kingjohn23.livejournal.com]

Mine too.

If I don't see you before next new year, good luck on your second college choice. And Merry Christmas.

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Cor, next New Year. I'll be in Uni then. ^_^
