Memories of More House

As I’m slowly getting back into contact with various former residents of More House I figured I would put up some photo galleries, so that people can reminisce about the good old days!

Wossit mean to be British?

Katherine Whitehorn has written a splendid piece on what it means to be British.   The first part is centred around Britain’s involvement in allowing the Yanks to torture Binyam Mohamed.   Check it out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7955406.stm

Who should succeed to the British throne?

Assuming that we’re going to completely ignore the fact that , that they’re mostly Greek and German, and that the Monarchy is reminiscent of an age where money and class mattered more than respect, democracy and basic human rights… who should the British public be content with being their Monarch?

25 Things About Me

1. I think crying is for wimps – I only ever remember crying about four times in my life.
2. I get very seriously offended when people don’t believe what I say or call me a liar.
3. I was pleasantly corrupted by an 11year old girl when I was 9.
4. I’ve a deep passion for 80′s music. I’m almost a male version of those burnt out 80′s chick you still see walking around with big hair and leggings on.
5. I don’t like my smile and have only ever seen three photos of myself smiling which I liked.
6. I miss rollerblading to work in London.
7. I get hot under the collar when I smell pumpkin and apple cinnamon candles (both at the same time).
8. I feel horrible waking up if I sleep more than four hours a night.
9. I used to have a recurring dream where I could hover / fly horizontally about three feet off the ground by jumping into the air and straightening out, and have always wanted to see if I could, but am too afraid of breaking bones.
10. Most of the time I successfully handle emotional problems by ignoring them. Dealing with them head-on doesn’t work for me. If I just ignore something I’m all good!
11. I’ve gone hungry more than once so I could lend a friend $10 to buy tampons.
12. I think drug dealers of any sort are unpleasant people who deserve a bullet and a ditch.
13. I get irritated when people act surprised when they learn I’m half black.
14. Forgiveness is not in my nature. I can let things slide, but I don’t forgive and never forget.
15. I don’t love often but when I do I fall like a ton of bricks – it’s all or nothing.
16. I fall in love far easier than I fall out of love.
17. I’ll forever be ashamed that I once told my mother her hair was embarrassing me when she visited me at More House about 15 years ago.
18. I want to do extremely harmful things to my high-school bully Anthony Marr.
19. EVERYONE who’s ever done me wrong in my life has been female – with the obvious exception of that silly person Charlie Hursey.
20. I very badly want more children, even though common sense is telling me I shouldn’t yet.
21. I dwell on the past about 10 hours out of every day.
22. All I ever want now a child, a house made out of bricks, and a kickass Yamaha Clavinova piano.
23. I feel most comfortable when I’m sad – it’s what I’m used to.

If Love Was A Song

This silly person has been one hell of a rollercoaster and still is. Sorry but it isn’t going away – it will just get hidden far more efficiently.

I’ve been looking for ways to illustrate to myself how I’m feeling so I could try and take control of my emotions. Words never seem to do it but music never fails. So here’s a song that reflects how I’m feeling or what I’m thinking.

Maybe it is because the song is in my favourite movie, but the following song does a splendid job of illustrating how love would sound if it was a piece of music.
