Being Scottish
Tommy (looking at the hills): Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
Renton (drunk, 'clean,' and pissed off): It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low! The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization! Some people hate English. I don't! They're just wankers! We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers! Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by! We're ruled by effete arseholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy! And all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference.

Of course I'm not scottish. But I love this quote from my once favourite film. I'm home for the week from Uni, got a note an' all from the poison-prescribing doctor. And I can tell you right now it's incredibly boring. So what better to do than look up something incredibly clever to put on my blog?
I saw an episode of a show called Six feet under yesterday (11.15pm, Holland 3) and it's actually really good. I think it might be the beginning of yet another obsession. I spent the day looking for slash of course... . It features a very uptight so-far-in-the-closet-he-probably-thinks-his-name-is-alice bloke who takes over the funeral home of his father. yes, indeed. Of course he has a hunky boyfriend so that makes up for the alice-thing. hehe...
If anyone is interested in some good music, look for songs by Kathryn Williams. I saw her on Buzzcocks yesterday and she's amazing.
