I simply love these two words. I do not think they even exist but I found them in a live review of Keane. (Apparently the reviewer in question thought their music was plinky plonky until he went to a gig and changed his mind.) There's something that reminds me of me in those words- my clumsiness, my sometimes rather fragmented and incoherent thoughts, my inability to deliver at crucial moments and the way I simply break under pressure. Yes. Plinky Plonky. I like. Gives me a feeling of the inconsistencies of Man (as in mankind not as in the monkey-like creatures we eventually have to wind up with.)Ok I'm going too deep now. But it's what stuffing your brain/what is left of it with poetry does to you. Thinking about it, the poetry exam was a plinky plonky affair. I studied, yet two of my four essays (those with more marks btw) were fragmented poorly structured messes of simplistic English (not simple in a good way) and half-forgotten notions. Oh Whatever! I just failed to deliver. I panicked. I'll get over it, even though poetry was probably the best thing the course gave me so far and I really wanted a good grade. C'est la vie, I guess. You work hard and then break under pressure. Phonetics and Phonology and Critical Theory should be okay, though. German Grammar, ZMP (which stands for three impressively Teutonic- and odd-sounding words) and Detective Story should not be too hard and, God willing, by the ninth, I'll be a free woman.
eh and btw! Tomorrow is my birthday! Nineteen! Seems like such a huge number. Dun Gorg will be canonised tomorrow too. Ah the thi thi thi third of Ju Ju Ju June. The date simply reverberates with importance. And then it's Deborah's birthday on Monday! Happy birthday dear! Moreover, today is Tim Rice-Oxley's Birthday. He is the gorgeous pianist and songwriter from Keane. Very easy to describe him: the stuff of dreams. I'll wish him Happy Birthday too but I'm pretty sure he does not read this lol!
Btw The comments section on my last post did not seem to be working properly. There was no 'O comments' written at the end of the post. I'm quite sure no one posted a comment but if anyone did, and it didn't show, I am sorry.
Just as I was finishing this blog I got some sad news. But I do not want to blog about it. It's not blogging material and it's private, I guess. Will still publish first part of the blog though. Till next time, goodbye and take care

Hey Liz.
Firstly, happy birthday :)
Secondly, exams... Are exams. Sometimes you just have an off day while doing them. Don't beat yourself up over it, it happens.
Now you have a whole summer to enjoy and relax, so make the most of it, ja? ;)
Also, for some reason comments were disabled. To enable comments you'd have to dig around the settings for the post and find the allow comments box somewhere. Anyhow - off to exam!
