I've run out of pen ink

Please vote for life-saving charity!

Hey guys, could you please for GLYNI on every available category for Northern Ireland’s Pride Awards this year? For me? GLYNI have been one of the biggest and best influences in my adult life and I want them to get the recognition they deserve. Basically GLYNI (gay, lesbian youth Northern Ireland) is the only group of its kind in Northern Ireland offering not only a place where 14-25 LGBTQ people can socialise but also become actively involved with LGBTQ issues from pride to politics (which are considerably anti-gay compared to the rest of the UK) GLYNI also provides amazing free counselling and other outstanding services (such as providing emergency accommodation, meeting and speaking with parents to facilitate coming-out and teaching about LGBTQ awareness and acceptance at schools across the country) 

GLYNI is simply amazing. I don’t care if don’t live in Northern Ireland. Please vote for GLYNI for supporter of the year from the LGBTQ community and the people’s choice award. It will literally take five minutes and you’ll be helping sustain a lifeline for LGBTQ people in my hometown.

5 Highs of the Year

1. Seeing MCR a fifth time at Reading 2011 with my best-friend in tow and subsequently being told afterwards that my excitement made the concert better for everyone else too-it’s nice making people feel happy by being happy-
2. Visiting my best friend and her flatmates in October. I love being around and with people as much as possible and I rarely get to do that. But if it wasn’t just because of that-it’s just that these people are more awesome than is humanly possible or explainable.
3. Seeing Weezer a second time at T in the Park and hugging Rivers Cuomo. That doesn’t really need an explanation, but seriously, I cried. 
4. Watching L O S T with James. I’m sure this wouldn’t make sense for a lot of people-but we’ve never high-fived, bro-fisted, laughed, cried, hugged, argued, parodied and talked about anything as much as we have for L O S T (Which was a pure bargain at £8 per season!) At a time when James and I felt distant, sad and lonely- L O S T brought us back together. THANKS L O S T!  
5. Belfast Pride. Words just can’t explain what kind of friends I’ve made at GLYNI (gay lesbian youth Northern Ireland) since I joined this year. If I thought about it, I’d probably start tearing-up! Walking with everyone along the route of the pride parade just made me feel like I finally found somewhere I belonged.

The joys of health.

Although I’ve spent most of this week like a hermit due to a nasty affliction of the common cold, I finally got out today! I felt like I had escaped from the asylum down the road as I literally bounced up and down on road to the botanic gardens. Unfortunately I couldn’t just blissfully lay around in the sunshine, as there was work to be done. Namely coursework, focusing upon fatal attraction and whether the psychotic Alex is a femme-fatal or not. Obviously she isn’t. But tha’ shit is fer coursework and this here blog is fer pointlessness.

I borrowed Mildred Pierce from the Queen’s library, it’s on VHS! I actually forgot that I could wind past piracy warnings! But I better watch it now, before I GLYNI (that’s gay lesbian youth Northern Ireland-it’s a youth club for under twenty-five year olds-and it’s amazin’) Usually all we do is talk, eat cake and laugh at stupid videos online. So yeah-it’s freaking amazing. Can’t go to the Kremlin tonight because dancing would literally cause my lungs to collapse. But at least I get to watch more film-noir goodness!

Heard Greenday’s basket case on the wireless today and got really excited about hopefully and finally visiting @daysyears in London!
