Transformers: robots in disguise

I haven't had the internet in my flat for a whole week. How bad is that? Very bad. It's quite upsetting in fact. The internet is a huge part of my life, I use it for banking, job-hunting, shopping, blogging and the other usual crap. So to be without it for a week was a little bit of a shock to my system but it did make me look at my life in a different light.

My parents first got the internet (dial up!!!) when I was 12. Now, when I was 12, I wasn't really that into computers and the delights of blogging, youtube and facebook had yet to be created. I tried a few chatrooms but found them to be full of perverts. So I went outside to play with my real friends. And I certainly never said "lol" outside of a chatroom. Rewind to when I was 10. My mum let me borrow her mobile phone. I sent text messages to my best friend at the time who lived next door. That's it. Now I can't live without it and not having the internet was really tough. I can't believe how depressing that is. Now, I sometimes (but rarely) say "lol" in my text messages and I discuss facebook/blogging/myspace etc like they are people in my life. Despite realising that my life has perhaps too much technology in it, I still couldn't wait to get on the internet when it eventually began working. I checked my e-mail (nothing interesting), my bank (I'm still poor) and facebook (Yes I am drunk on nearly all of the pictures). But then I realised I didn't have a lot else to do on there so I went back to reading my book. It's not that I need the internet. It's just that, well, I like it being there.

So anyway, it was our graduation ball last Thursday (31st May) and it was incredible. Everyone looked beautiful and the wine was flowing (maybe that's why I thought everyone looked so good). To be honest, I don't remember much of the night but I'm pretty sure I had a lot of fun.

I also went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean film. Disappointing quite frankly. A little long winded and there were far too many different story lines. I do always enjoy going to the cinema though, I just wish it had been a better film instead. Speaking of which, Die Hard 4 is out soon. And I am in love with Bruce Willis. I'm not really into celeb spotting and catching up on the latest celebrity gossip but if I saw Bruce Willis I would quite possibly drop dead. Either that or jump his bones. Yes, I know, he's old. But he has sex appeal like no other man.
After Die Hard, Transformers will be coming out. And I truly cannot wait for that. In fact, I'm a little bit giddy.
