Up "Bright" and Early!

sWell. Got the early part right. I was up at 6, after lying there for about 15 minutes trying to figure out nice ways of beating two girls' heads against a hard concrete floor repeatedly until they've stopped making noise....

I'm not a violent person, honest. It's just that I set my alarm for 7.30 so that I would get at least 7 hours sleep.

At about 3, my flatmate came in loudly.
At about 5, she left again. Loudly.
At about 5.45, the other one came in loudly. Dried her hair for about 30 minutes, and is currently watching t.v. quietly (she can do that right!) whilst I've put a sign on the front door, a sign on her and Eva's door, and I swear to god, I want to change the locks.

I've got  a 9, 10, 11 o clock lecture, then two more at 1 and 2, then from 3-5, I'm selling tickets, ON MY OWN, and then I'm expected to be able to stay awake and look human throughout the day. F'ing bitches have started the countdown of their life expectancy.

When I get a blunderbuss, they'd better beware.

Last Week of Term

Time has come, and Time has gone. I've written all four of my essays, one which needs polishing, and three handed in. I've spent almost the equivalent of a full working day + overtime chasing up Minibus quotes for the upcoming trip, and I've started selling tickets.

Just to show my true devotion to the essay I was supposed to be polishing, here's what I've done today:
  • Caught three Pokemon on Sapphire
  • and beaten up 3 members of Team Aqua
  • Sold a ticket for the below event
  • Created this poster to display on the sales table tomorrow, Weds, Thurs and Friday afternoon when I sit there killing time:

I'm currently, whilst writing this, advising The Boyfriend to put on "cock-blocking" music loudly, since his flatmate doesn't seem to realise that he and his girlfriends every movement can be heard through the thin walls, and it's really not pleasant to hear other peoples' intimate-time noises. 

I'm also devising the social calendar for next term, whilst trying to plot the proceedings for the History Society Party - our old Social Sec wanted to host a kids party kind of event, which sounded fun and was well received, but never happened cause she was too busy in the end. We've got some top choice games picked out, that people want, and I dunno. It'd be a nice, silly, childish way to end the term filled with exams. Plus it's non-alcoholic, so people can rest their livers and kidneys for the college "Extrav" which occur weeks 8-10 - basically a humongous themed booze up.

It'll be nice going to Kenya again - rather looking forward to it; I need the relaxation and sun, and the nice food!
I'll miss seeing The Boyfriend instead, but I guess I can still keep in touch. I'm going to have to use the computers at times to check emails and send them out from the Hist Soc account anyway, so I'll be able to chat with him - he's getting friends to stay with him anyway. So long as he doesn't turn gay with Henry, it'll be fine.  (Oh god, there's an image I didn't need...)

"Can't use my, can't use my, no I can't use my, PSU... ma ma ma p-p-p-psu..."

Yep, the weird humming has escalated to full on "electric razor struggling to go uphill" noises, which indicates that my PSU is indeed DYING.

I've had to copy my work over to my mp3 player, which means working in the library, struggling on horrible sticky keyboards, and putting up with having nothing to do in the evenings. Lame~
I've put The Boyfriend on the case of finding and linking me a suitable replacement, since I have limited access to resources, and time, and I've asked the grandparents, since they're visiting on Sunday, to bring my laptop up. I'll probably find that the internet will still be an issue, cause it doesn't have an ethernet slot or something. *sigh*

I'm currently stressing over damned dissertation topics, and I need to hand in my form choosing my special subject next year as soon as I can cause I really really REALLY want to do The Princes in the Tower - and whilst Grant would consider me a suitable candidate, admin apparently assign people regardless of previous experience in the topics, tutor's preferences and what people really like doing.
If not, my second choice will do... but I really don't want to do my 3rd choice, as it seems thoroughly dull.:(

What 'Mean Girls' would like like if played by Disney characters.

This was discussed on Jezebel.com



I've seen Disney clips put to music videos (Dirty, Beautiful, Rich works well), but this really did make me laugh.

Eee. ^_^

So I've ordered Pokémon Heart Gold, which should be arriving around the 14th, since I've preordered via Play-Asia, and got the US version. I'm a little concerned about Customs being a bitch, but in the end it shouldn't be more than £9, so it could well be waived.

It looks *so* cool! I can't wait - I loved the Gold/Silver/Crystal game, almost as much - possibly even more - than Yellow. xD


Lookie ^_^ The pokémon follow you about. Any of them! But yeah. I also think the Pokéwalker is a fantastic idea, so there's me being a nerd. I'm sorely tempted to get the cheapo accessories pack... for the styluses... but the expensive one has a pretty case. If I switch my DS for DSLite, I'll definitely buy it. I'm THAT cool, people.

...believe it or not, I do get laid. o.O




*Ahem* Enough with the TMI. I've got to go to my lecture. Stopping at Diggles on the way, cause their Chicken & Veg mini pies are DELICIOUS. 4 for a £1. <3
