thing

The cat went mad again today, bless him.
Also I perfected a new way of sleeping while studying. Lie face down on the bed, propped over book in an attentive manner. Rest chin on hands, place feet against ceiling, doze off (get woken by mother is an option, but not recommended should one want a good hour or so's kip). Happy revising all!

Joy and oddness

Has anyone else tried using that mint and teatree showergel?

If not, don't. It's hideous. To quote Simon, 'It's like washing yourself with acid snow.' I am now stinging in interesting places. Grration.

Yesterday was an odd day. As per usual I was awoken by my alarm clock of joy, only it wasn't of joy as I had forgetfuly set it to Radio 4 - never the best thing to wake up to.....and as per usual, to return to the story, I reached out to tap it gently on the snooze button. Clearly my left arm was rather more irate about having been woken up at an unearthly hour (9.30) than I was, because instead of gently tapping the alarm clock, it knocked my glass of water all over it, which caused an immediate cessation of sound, and also of any other function of the clock. In a state of more-than-half asleepness, I pondered turning to clock off at the mains (to avoid being electrocuted) or indeed getting up to find my phone and set the alarm. However, sleep of course won, with the result that I woke up at 11.30, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth at the lost hours. Then I did no work until it was time for pubmeet. Ah, joy!

What else happened this week?

Well, the 22nd of March happened - that happened on Wednesday.

Now just need to pack up all of my room in time for curry this evening.
And I don't even like curry.....

So, in summary, Mint and Teatree showergel is wrong, pouring water on alarm clocks is a bad idea if you actually want to get up, and packing sucks. And perhaps not all men are kooks after all.....

Since I have been nagged to blog, I thought I'd go over the top by posting 3 text blogs and this amusing picture of a cardboard box which was discovered when CULES hit the Fulbourn venue this week. It struck us as a bit.....random..... Posted by Picasa

I don't know why having no lectures makes me think it's ok to go to bed after 1 in the morning.....some deep rooted psychological thing, I guess. And I've been so good this term too.....well ok, not so good recently, but up until a week ago Thursday I was a paragon of virtue, a model example, the very pineapple of punctuality! And now - phut! It's not like I even have a decent excuse.....tonight, at any rate.....ahem *looks around innocently* No-one has noticed! No-one has noticed!

One for Isla

Received a scribble on my facebook wall today; can anyone guess who might have added 'rhodedendron' to the spurious words list? :P

Diary of a nobody.....

Men are all kooks. This is Norwegian for 'cock', with an English plural suffix. It sums up my feelings, not to mention the fact that it's a great word!
Yes, I'm still fed up.....
More so now than I was before, in fact.

On a more positive note, my internet appears to be back (for now, at least). I spent yesterday mostly in the pub (in a non-drunken way) and there are no more lectures until about the end of April, so that's all good - just need to motivate self to do some independent work now! Would help me if I had clarification on certain issues, as this would help me focus my concentration rather than worrying about other matters and being generally neurotic. However, men are kooks, which isn't helpful, though it does mean that my eviction from the 'I hate men' coven on the accusation that I was 'in a relationship' was only temporary and has now been revoked :)

Play went very well :) Big laughs, very responsive audience and I got to stand onstage entirely alone and shriek 'Help!' a lot, which was more fun than anything else that evening! *boing*
Aftershow party was almost lethal, though.....

Erm.

Last Thursday was fun. We went to Andy's house and played silly games. Much pubbage this week, and I have new stash yay!

Right, time to stop procrastinating and do something relevant.

Arse

I wanted to write a blog post about how I'm feeling shit, which I really shouldn't be right now, but then I realised that would make me like all the other bloggers in the world, and rather sad. (As Andy put it today, when I was explaining roughly how the 'Diary of a Nobody' goes: 'So it's basically LiveJournal then?')

So instead I shall redirect you to this fantastic site which Fan sent me:
http://www.17beechroad.freeserve.co.uk/WarringtonCycleCampaign/facility-of-the-month/index.htm
because it's funny. And better than me moaning.

In other news the play went well. Even the bits where it went wrong. And I haven't achieved my essay deadline, because I am useless. And I have become half a president.

Also amusing: got sent this today from Gill, our half-president of CULES, which made me giggle :)
