and shit, yeah, it's cool

My name is Kirsten. I am arguably a human being. I left my heart in Aberdeen and 90% of the time I wish I was sitting down. The rest of the time I'm probably sitting down. These are the things that I like. Hello.

Whenever I see Shay Logan, I hear that “You are my rose, you are my rose...” song from the lovemaking scenes of The Room.

“I’m tired of driving a cab. So I decided to start dressing funky and see what happens.”

[kirstenin]

I hope our paths cross when we come over to NY next year, well-dressed sir.

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[kirstenin]

Oh my god. (I have since learned this isn’t real, but I am happy to deny that knowledge and live my life believing that it actually is.)

AND my dirt broke, bag of kids having, living in over crowded social housing, next door neighbour voted Tory because they said she could buy her housing association house. Which she couldn’t because she can’t actually afford her rent.

After the Scottish referendum, the SNP's Christine Grahame made an astounding speech about tactics used by Better Together. The part of it that has really stuck with me was her final line about how Labour had aided David Cameron in “scaring older people into believing they would be in the breadline when many of them are there already."  This election is no different. People who have no money being told that they’ll have no money unless they vote for the rich. The poor really have no voice on Rainy, Fascist Island anymore and it is disgusting. [If you want to watch Grahame’s full speech -I’d definitely advise it, five minutes of impassioned glory- here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPW9sYQF8BE]

(Sorry for always bringing up the referendum, it’s just the time we’ve been fucked over that is freshest in my memory)

3 Killed In Shooting Near University Of North Carolina At Chapel Hill The three victims were reportedly identified as Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, Yusor Mohammad, 21, and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19.

American media didn’t consider giving a decent report about them simply because they aren’t Charlie Hebdo.

Once more TERRORISM HAS NO RELIGION!

REBLOG SO THE WHOLE WORLD COULD KNOW!!!

The Talk by Michael D’ Antuono

[kirstenin]

Out of curiosity, I looked at the tumblr of a woman who reblogged one of my posts recently and saw they describe themselves as “anti-feminism” and I threw up a little bit.

Books I Read - 2014 Edition

Not a very good year. I was on a roll until summer, then suddenly just had no time. The last row was all I read from August onwards. The year peaked early with The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, which I think now might be one of my favourites ever. I didn't read anything that was too disappointing. That book of fiction inspired by the Fall wasn't great, but I wasn't really expecting much from it.

Now to keep up the tradition of promising to read four books a month but only managing it in January and February.

BYE!
