Trying to be crafty * Cutting my hair * Crying about cutting my hair * Vomiting * Pretending to be able to knit * Telling people how shit I am * At everything * Talking about Andy Bell * Forcing people to admit how awesome Oasis are * Being the 2nd worst bass player in the world * Buying shit I don't need off ebay * Being a loser * Video games * Sneaking into my mum's house to watch Foxtel * More video games * Dying my hair * Football * Ikea, it's like an amusement park for grown ups! * Eye make-up * Hating stuff * Getting obsessed with things * Catching public transport * Feeling sorry for myself * Being a terrible but enthusiastic singer * Motherfucking burritos * Complaining about not having a Wii * Slurpees * TWISTIES!!!! * Getting into cabs second * Playing Carry On My Wayward Son on Guitar Hero II *
