I have turned into a 35-year old. I don't know how it happened or when, but last night I saw proof of it.
It all began with a phone call. 10 pm on a Wednesday night and it was fancy dress night down at the student pub. They asked me where I was and I repied something along the lines of "Well, it's late and I'm tired and Im already in bed, and I've got this movie and..."
- as if that was not enough:
The neighbours were having a house party, that was quite clear. And not only were they having a house party - they were playing bad loud music (think terrible 3rd class reggaeton) at 12 am! So I called security on them
- I have turned into a 35-year old.

There is a special place in hell...
My deep loathing for Daily Mail's columnists shall clearly never falter as they have given me another gem today in the form of Bel Mooney.
Ms Mooney claims that the 60's sexual revolution is to blame for, if not all, but most that is wrong with society today. It is "wrecking women's lives today". Here are some of the best of the best of her rantings:
"People have always had sex before marriage" Oh horrible thought...
"Ladette behaviour is a direct result of the freedom women fought for"
SAY WHAT?! Since when is there a connection between drunken women behaving badly (let's take that part of ladetteness for example) a result of feminism?
"The university Student Health Centre handed out the Pill like sweeties. So you wouldn't get pregnant - good. But at the same time you had no reason to be careful - bad."
I have said it before and I say it again - you live in a country where 13-year olds have babies! Why on earth would you preach against the Pill, this country needs more Pills not less!
“Sex, which in previous eras was private (even taboo), became public, with the result that women were expected - in their love lives - to demonstrate the expertise of prostitutes. Except these 'liberated' women gave it away for free. “
Who expects this Ms Mooney? Your partner? THEN LEAVE HIM. Mine sure doesn’t and I don’t know any man who does. And secondly, so talking about sex, making it no longer taboo, has turned us all into prossies in the eyes of men? So it was better when sex was something bad, hush hush and first and foremost no fun ? If you want to regard sex as private you might as well regard eating equally taboo - they are both part of human life and our needs.
“Is it any wonder that the phenomenon of young teenage boys expecting their girlfriends to provide sexual gratification at any time (on a school bus, for example, according to Susie Orbach) leaves girls feeling abused and full of hate for their bodies"
Now we’re really, really not on the same page anymore, so what you are saying, Ms Mooney is that young girls disliking their bodies is a modern day phenomenon unheard of before the 60’s? And that the female sexual revolution is to blame? She is getting lost in her own arguments blubbering things that has nothing to do with women freeing themselves in the 60’s.

You can call me Miss Puffy Face
Women with acute PMS should not watch Atonement, it's like giving a suicidal teenager a pair of razor blades/a fat kid the keys to the Cadbury factory/Lindsay Lohan cocaine
