Ponderings.

Apparently ponderings isn't a word. I don't care right now I like it, it seems to sum up everything I want to write right now and so it shall just have to do.

I haven't been writing. I could say I have been particularly for for the majority of the last few months it's a blatant lie. I had essays and things but only two and a scrapbook and that doesn't take the entirety of February, March and April. Three months of no blogging. I twitter but I guess I have just been too lazy to write anything longer than 140 character.

I think another reason I stopped is because I began to think why the fuck am I writing this? It seems the main reason is for me just to get my thoughts down on paper (there isn't actually paper involved but I guess I know what I mean) and so if I am doing that why am I doing it in a public space. It's like writing a diary and then leaving it open somewhere hoping that someone will come and pick it up and read it. In my head it's all essentially attention seeking, however if I am attention seeking (someone did tell me the other day and I acted like I needed constant attention...you know who you are) do I really want attention for being a whingey bitch? It was around this point that I decided that I wanted more than bitching. I want to write about stuff I like and a constant in the group of stuff I like which has been there all my life (things like crimping my hair and gingham will come and go) was music and so without further ado I introduce 'Playlist Sunday' (a better name might come along in time or I might lose interest in it before then, I don't have the best track record).

Playist sunday will consist of every week compiling a playlist relating to a theme, sometimes relevant to the week that has preceded it, sometimes relevant to whatever word is hovering around in my head. Probably some weeks the theme will be thrown out the window because I have been too lazy to think of a theme and just threw together a list of 10 songs that I like. Speaking of music I like, I make no apologies that the list are pretty much made up of songs I have been momentarily obsessed with.

I'm going to make this moment more momentous than it needs to be as I'm the only person who cares and I already know what is on the playlist but drumroll pleaseeeee.

*Imagined drum roll*

Week 1 - Where are we going?

The week of uneasy uncertainty in relations to elections and more person where on earth am I going feelings.

1. Albion - Babyshambles
2. Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want - She & Him
3. Is It Wicked Not To Care - Belle and Sebastian
4. Swim Until You Can't See Land - Frightened Rabbit
5. Cross Your Fingers - Laura Marling
6. A New Sense Of Humour - Simon Bookish
7. Hard Times - Patrick Wolf
8. Downing Street Kindling - Larrikin Love
9. Country House - Blur


I'm already breaking my own rules, what's that 9 tracks rather than 10? oooh you are such a rebel....it had nothing to do with the fact I couldn't come up with another and didn't want to spend ages thinking about it or anything. Just a sign of things to come.
