it's because i'm cool? (ironic or not!?!)

what is cool? this week i was thinking about the concept of cool and what it means to me and others around me. my new boyfriend loves the word cool as a comeback. he says 'it's because I'm cool' as a retort to any piece of joking banter i put his way- I'm not sure whether it's because he can't think of anything better to say or because he thinks that it's witty. either way i find it amusing, although it may wear thin with time. my housemates- as i have previously mentioned are quite geeky but i think they are cool, because they are funny and clever although to many being clever is the last thing that's cool in their minds.

What do i think is cool?
Well I'm a big fan of art and electronic music. i have a new favourite song that has a cool vid for it. it's called 'Shut me up' by mindless self indulgence. I'll post it under things i like in a sec. what else? well i think Simon Pegg is cool, and Alan Wilder( formally of Depeche Mode) because he's very sure of himself and pleasant mannered but he also has a dark quality to his personality that comes out in his music, which i also think is cool. it's called recoil and it's very unusual.

my first entry!

This is just like a diary i suppose, only not quite so private. i started a fresh one because i wanted to re-affirm the lessons i learnt in the lesson. what have i been doing? well my nerdy housemate has been trying to make me draw a comic from my imagination. he only just discovered i could draw and the he was curious to see if i could do anything but copy. i was never much good at it when i was a kid so i gave up trying really- i just stuck to coping photos and paintings. i am better than i thought i would be i imagining although the character i drew has a serious resemblance to wonder woman.

This week i also bought a perfume called diesel fuel for life- it's the men's version although i prefer it. the smell makes me feel slightly light headed, in a good way!

sweet dreams!
