There's some really great music around at the minute isn't there?
Here's a short(ish) list of music I am currently loving.

Razorlight - can't stop this feeling I've got
Black Box Recorder - Andrew Ridgley (oldie but goodie!!)
Colin Harris - Acceptable in the 80's
Fall Out Boy - Thanks for the memories
Anything by The Fray
Hellogoodbye - Here (in your arms)
Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
New Young Pony Club - Get dancey
Shiny Toy Guns - Starts with one
Also anything by Colin Hay.

A pretty random mix of songs you'll agree? I pride myself on my broad ranging tastes in music. I can't imagine just listening to one type of music all the time, I think I'd get bored pretty quickly. For instance, when sweating it out on the treadmill I like some upbeat dance music, and when I'm feeling on top of the world, I like a song with some real emotion in it. My ipod has a song to suit every mood methinks. I would suggest, if you haven't already, that you download each and every one of those songs and really have a good time listening.

In other news, I went to an assessment centre for a graduate job today. Talk about hard work. Mentally and emotionally tiring. I came home, stripped off and climbed into bed, then got out again, put some clothes on because it was ruddy freezing and got back into bed. I did enjoy the day though and it gave me some much needed experience. I learnt a few things about myself too. I sometimes wonder if I have it in me to become one of the masses of 'young professionals' that roam the Manchester pavements at 8.55am and 5.05pm daily and I realised today that yes, I do. I can be professional, intelligent and serious when it is needed.
The most important lesson I learned today though is one that makes me very happy. I learnt that I am honest. I spent much of my childhood lying through my teeth, not to make myself look better but because I had a vivid imagination (and still do, I hope) and I wanted my imagination to be real life. I'd still like to have a job with a gun, and I'd love to try being a waitress in a roller-cafe but that's another story.

Sometimes I can be brutally honest, other times I'm honest to an extent and sometimes I tell small white lies so as not to upset people, but in the end, honesty prevails. Lies come back to haunt you and half truths are found out in the end. Today just made me realise that my honesty, although it sometimes gets me into trouble, is what makes me stand out from the crowd. And I like that. I like something about myself, and that's always a good place to begin isn't it?
