Mike's Gid

I've been rather frivolous with money recently, but hey, the time is now, right? Annoying thing is it mostly seems to go on small stuff that doesn't seem to matter, like food etc. Anyway, my rather poorly articulated point is that I'm a student, still living at home for a couple months yet and so I'm at the right time to be spending like an idiot.

I just wish I didn't have to pay money back to my parents. I still owe my dad about £460 for my laptop and my mum about £330 for my bike insurance (but shh, don't tell dad because he'll freak out).

I've been having a bit of trouble with heartburn recently but at least it's not helicobacter pylori, apparently. That's always a good thing.

If there's one thing I'm most self conscious about, it's the colour of my skin. I'm so insanely pale that it's insane. The reason I'm particularly distraught about this recently is that last week I got very badly sunburnt and even now I've only JUST gone into the peeling stage.

My friends are great. However, I do wish a certain couple of them would show a higher level of fidelity sometimes.

Also, without sounding big headed, I think I generally do make the right choices in life. I've come to the conclusion that it really is always best to be honest no matter what, no matter how scary the prospect of telling the truth can be at times. I've always been as honest as I possibly can and I have to say, it's really paying off.

Oh, speaking of high fidelity, please PLEASE don't rip your music at a bit rate any lower than 320kbps. Any less and it's really not worth it. Please, treat your ears.

And please, please,
buy CDs.
