-I slipped, and fell about two stairs down.
-I wasn't hurt, and no one saw me, but I felt pretty dumb.

I've posted my article to Akbar.
I'm listening to more songs.
I've got more on iTunes than Windows Media Player.
It's annoying, because I can't be bothered to copy them again.

-Mr B sounds very...
-I'm not sure what word I was going to use there.
-Your Photography class sounds pretty interesting.
-Bad luck about the stairs.
-A lot of the stairs at one end of school are generally damp and covered in sand from the astro-turf [insert appropriate capitalisation], and I think somebody could slip pretty easily on those.
-Oh, and that reminds me of something which happened today.
-Mr. E., the headteacher and my Maths teacher (this isn't a list; they're all the same person) kept on talking about how he's not good at coding in Visual Basic, because he grew up learning something else.
-He seems fairly knowledgeable about computers otherwise, though.
-He talks about them a lot.
-Hm, this last hour's gone by quickly.
-But sometimes they do.
-I can hear old-fashioned music in the lounge.
-I've just thought of something.

-We generally only watch TV from nine until ten.
-I'm feeling a little tired.
-I found out earlier that my grandfather's got a pretty bad cold at the moment, too.
-And I heard quite a few people sniffing at school today.
-Oh, and it seems that my extra English lessons, to make up for Mrs. D. being away, will be on Wednesday afternoons, so I won't have them free any more for a while.
-Did I even tell you about that?
-I can't really remember.
-I had a really shocking lapse of memory earlier today, or possibly yesterday, but now - appropriately - I can't remember what it was.

[Libitina]

-I'm in an absolutely horrid, putrid, morbid mood.
-...I've found out that it wasn't Fantine (my brain's namesake) who sang my favorite Les Miserables song, but Eponine. Eponine's alright, but Fantine is...Fantine! She sang a similar song (calling for Cosette, whilst she was dying) that sounded like Eponine's, which lead me to this mistake.
-This investigation lead my to the lyrics of a lot of Les Miserables songs, and they are so sad (hence the name).
-Also, I'm rather upset with someone.
-ads;ufhashdgilauyr

-Morning, all.

-I should probably take it, but I honestly can't be bothered.
-Sloth dictates much of my life.
-And I ordered some stuff of Amazon.co.uk, and it's been dispatched, but they say it won't arrive until Thursday.

-At least.
-Blasted Amazon.
-Ah well.
-What is it now?
-10 days until B12 comes out?
-I can't wait.

-Pizza, probably.
-With some salad.

-The weather outside looks murky.
-It's been pretty misty over the past few days.
-Oh, and I just remembered something from Monday.
-While walking to school, I noticed - in a direction I judge to be south, while walking across the land where the old M. site used to stand - that there are some hills and moorland in the distance in that direction, behind my school.
-And the funny thing is, I don't recall ever seeing them before.
-I've been to that school for more than five years, and I've lived in this village for ten or more (I forget the precise number), and suddenly I notice something that's been there all along but which I nver paid attention to.
-It's probably jamais vu.
-That's like the opposite of déjà vu - with jamais vu, you don't recognise familiar things or situations.

-And I have a bad cough.

-I notice things which have always been there, but they seem new.
-Hm, possibly this explains many sinister occurrences in my life.
-Or perhaps that's just what they want me to think.
-We have a quince plant in our garden, but I don't think we ever get any quinces from it.
-Similarly, the birds get at the cherries on the cherry tree first, and the same with the apple tree.

-Drizzling fairly heavily, if such a statement makes sense.
-And the wind appears to be changing quite frequently.
