An end to the apathy. Sleeplessness and Protest.
This weekend I decided to put a stop to the alienation which has dominated my life in Aberystwyth over the past few years by traveling to London and joining in with the anti cuts protests.
And to be honest, yesterday saw me in the best mood I have been in for a long time. I spend day after day sleeping the hours away and filling the nights with rolling news bulletins as I slowly and surely become...
I have been away from Tumblr...
for nearly a month now.
The guy who was meant to be fixing my laptop suffered some sort of brain injury so I suppose it is sort of justified.
Fucking withdrawal symptoms.

Just finished 'Touching From a Distance'
Feeling slightly morose.
I have no idea how nobody saw Ian Curtis’ death coming. Tragic.

The best dream ever...
And I didn’t even have it.
My best friend woke me up this morning with a text in which she stated…

Touching From a Distance
I am currently a few chapters into Touching From a Distance by Deborah Curtis…
It is fairly safe to say that she doesn’t paint a very nice picture of Ian…
I am quite enjoying the book though. It feels good to know that at some point I have walked the same streets as Ian Curtis. As sad as that sounds.
