Pale Movies: Side B

Yes, it's my livejournal. I'm not at alll sure about it, but I keep it anyway even though I really doubt that the rest of the world is interested in reading about what it's like to be a student nurse and Weiss Kreuz obsessive who lives in London. I know my life ain't so interesting I think the rest of the world needs to be kept constantly updated about it but I enjoy the potential that it offers me for ranting about life, the universe and everything, so what do I know?
