La Triviata

I've become prone to setting both my alarm clocks, the one my Mum bought me because my old one stopped working, and my old one that was not working, but has now regenerated (read: started working again) so I wake up to Dolby Digital-esque ringing in my ears, with one clock on the right side of my bed and the other one on the left. Its like being in the movies. Except the movie is me waking up with an erection (hello family reading this) and the sound is a clanging of constant bells.
My morning plan after getting to sleep at like 4-5 o clock after watching either a crappy horror movie (seriously, Horror Movies of the 1980s-2000s would probably be my specialist subject on Mastermind) after the usual 3 S's of any man (Shit, Shower, Shave) is find a cleanish t-shirt, week old jeans and one of my many blazers, pair of shoes, lovelier the better, and boom out the door. Totally forgetting to take my tablets, wallet, keys, and Uni bag. Meaning a trip back to the halls, ringing of the doorbell to let me in and getting and doing my essentials.
I have an appalling memory, its my greatest weakness, as hard as I try I fail miserably at remembering my family's birthdays, its taken me 19 years to finally remember my Mums, and that was purely down to the fact that I now use the number 28 as a lottery number and a lucky roulette number. I know one of my cousins birthday and not my Dads because her birthday is on the 14th November, one day before my own. I tell people, its not ignorance, its just an inability to remember basic facts. I remember my ex's birthday is September 11th, just because of the events that happened on that day. Ironic as that relationship crashed and burned and involved outside sources.
Remembering peoples names is a nightmare as well, I normally attach nicknames to faces and hope that someone mentions the name of the person I'd only know as Moley Left Cheek or Higher Hairline Than My Own. I do have an ability at remembering odd facts, one of my favourites being that the Sun is 330,330 bigger than The Earth and that there is a McDonalds across the street from the Vatican? I think that's a disgusting sight, especially when you're trying to enjoy your Big Mac.
I'm off, my night tonight consists of a pizza, a few episodes of whatever is on Dave, a couple of hours reading American Psycho and then an apparently good horror film called Session 9. Funky-delic (My new word)

Love and wondering why I get more disheartened about animals getting killed in films than humans.

"McDonalds across the street from the Vatican? I think that's a disgusting sight, especially when you're trying to enjoy your Big Mac. " Freaking love this, I thought exactly that when I was enjoying my meal!

Haha, I can just imagine it, me sipping my large chocolate milkshake and large meal (so I can get more Monopolytoken things you see, I'm sure they have them there, lets go with that they have) and then the Pope pops in for a Fillet-o-Fish, but never on Sunday or Good Friday.
