GAH! I missed last month’s super update!
Right. for those of you who actually bother to read other people’s journals, I would like to apologize for writing mine late. Things have been going crazy this month, and I kind of gave the whole online journal (correction, make that the whole going on the computer thing) a rest. but not to worry, here I am with more wonderfully boring tales of the life of me!Right... As I have been saying these last few months, I’ve been trying to get a flat close to school where travel would be easy and I could finally get some sleep instead of waking up around 6 in the morning. Now the good news is, I GOT ONE! It’s in the middle of one of my uni’s campuses – so like minded people to talk to – and is only 15 minutes away from my main campus. Smooth sailing from now on right? WRONG!
It isn’t the fact that the place is slightly a bit like a dump. Nor that I still haven’t gotten used to sleeping away from home. No, it’s the American university exchange students in their final year I happened to be stuck with that’s causing the problems. I am sure you’ve all seen your typical high school movie, with crazy Yankees who like to party and get laid all the time. Well it’s pretty much the same thing over here. On my first day, I hadn’t even opened my door to see my room before I was Dragged (willingly mind you) into the kitchen for a game of all night poker (note to self: you’re not a half-bad Texas hold 'em player....).
And its been that way since I’ve been here. In two weeks I have seen more straight bars, clubs, and dance floors than I ever cared to see. I know I’m not the partying type and all, truth be told I’d just stay in undera warm blanket and read a book than go shake my booty to the latest single by some commerially known artist, but I’m trying my best to keep up a ‘crazy partying student’ rep here! Only thing I’m glad of is that thanks to my ‘bad sexual perference’, I don’t find a single person cute... well.. except one.... and thats only when I somehow manage to down a good dose of bad champagne, so lets not talk about that.
Anyway, no thanks to this, I haven’t woken up before 3 in the afternoon for nearly 4 days, which doesn’t do well to my university lectures mind you: I now have SO much coursework its coming out of my nose.
Not only that, THESE PEOPLE REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY FRIDGE SPACE! FRIDGE SPACE! WHERE THE HELL AM I GOING TO KEEP MY AFRICAN COOKED DISHES! SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE!
Right, in other news:
I met Stephen R donaldson – hero to my generation, makes Toilken look like Road Dahl – a few saturdays ago to get my books signed. I had my whole Thomas Covenant collection with me, a long with one for Phil ((note: somebody PLEASE teach me how to link names on this))to get them signed. Sadly I didn’t leave enough of on impression on the guy other than embarassingly sneezing on him to the gasps of the onlookers around me, but by the most I didn’t make too much of a fool of myself.
Update on logic actions: Bleh! this idea is a joke. My decisions are just as hard to make even when not being influenced by my heart. Stupid decisions! Not to worry, I haven’t had a real good chance of putting it into action. yet. but I will this time.
now, a very strange thing happened to me this week. I got a call from a girl (now now guys, don’t be jealous, I’m, just that good) who wanted to check if my number was real. Aparrently, if one of my friends does not answer his phone everytime she calls him, I am supposed to rush my ass over to camden town, and see if he’s alright. Now NATURALLY you can tell this did not go very well with me, so early the next morning, I gave him a rightful earful on the phone, where he explained the situation.
This girl from sweden (21), wants to kill herself. but he (16) managed to convince her not to. Now, as he also goes through the stage of wanting to kill himself, and may actucally do it, I am supposed to go over there and stop him.
Now, does this make any sense to anybody else around<
