still here (at school in the library). i've only been sitting on this chair for a maximum of 35 minutes and my arse is killing me. i'll just shift uncomfortably then.

this keyboard is digusting. it's sticky and there are indeterminate stains on it. the last keyboard was much better; the keys were so worn that they were nice and shiny. this one's just yucky.

turns out that there's a loser no. 3. her name is rupal and she actually called herself a loser cos she has no exams today and just came in to ask teachers stuff and revise chem. she's revising chem right now in an empty classroom. i admire that kind of hardworkingness. jealous even.

aqualung is cool. his album is very good. it's also just ended. bring on the 'if i fall' single! whoo!

thinking of going on the 4pm coach. if i go 40 minutes before, i will actually self-destruct on the extremely long coach journey. i'll just wait 40 minutes and then i'll be able to talk to someone. anyone. please?

DT revision is unbelievably boring. do i care about wood preservatives? i'm just sitting here listening to aqualung now. interesting backing lyrics:

one plus one
two then three...

only got them now. didn't get the next two. (green and blue?) very pretty though. (aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! ahhhh! mmmmmmmm...mmmmm....mmmm...)

was talking to kate before she left. she likes aqualung too! one of her emails is [email protected].

it's 3! one more hour...

i'm bored out of my mind and hearing things. i just heard matt hales sing my name instead of "darling" in "can't get you out of my mind", the bit that goes: "darling, everyday i think of you, i can't believe it's true that you're here by my side." yeah, i can't believe it either, bastard. getting my hopes up like that.

i heard it again.

i was surrounded by 4th years. they've either left or fallen asleep. i'm even more alone now. and loser 3 rupal has left for the 3:20 coach.

i've never heard of french polish.

To lay the sheet it must first have a prepared base board that is both flat and true. true?

i didn't know about live and dead knots either. nor did i know about death-watch beetles. sounds scary.

3:41 finished reading DT. well, that took longer than the aqualung album plus the 10 track single. i consider myself revised. i'll be revising RS wednesday night.

gonna go soon. aren't you glad? fingers all sticky. urgh.

Kitsch

Used in design to describe items that are deliberately tasteless, gross or foolish. Kitsch is not necessarily a term of abuse and there is a strong consumer liking for certain kitsch items. As in good design, there is no common agreement on what makes an object kitsch.

by the way, good design is an actual term:

Good design

Controversial ten-n to describe excellence in the relationship between the function and form of an object. Given official status by government design promotion agencies in 1950s and 1960s, but subsequently devalued. Good design remains a term of praise but also an elusive concept as there is no common agreement on what makes 'good design'.

i'm truly alone now. i'll go too then. hope you enjoyed that. good bye.
