My evening out was hampered by Leeds' 'Santa Soc' playing cheesy Christmas tunes like 'Stay Another Day' and 'The Millennium Prayer' in the union's Old Bar. The Old Bar is probably the most half-arsed union pub I've seen, even worse than UCL's Phineas Bar. It has doubles for £3.30, flickering screens showing Sumo wrestling on Eurosport, and

"a reduced fare if we could solve a problem sheet on probability"
Does he do that because he knows most of his clients are gonna be too drunk to work it out?!?! What a weird taxi driver!

Good luck for the test and take care of yourself :)

[deathcookie]

I think he did that because we were having a loud conversation about how crap we were and how two of us had barely scraped a C in our maths GCSE.

Thanks for the luck -- considering the glances I gave everyone else's test, if I get anything right, anyone else will have failed...

Argh! Glowing-white underwear :/ Are you another person who needs feeding up? Studying from home makes me feel like the mother everybody left behind, so I guess it won't be long before I start sending out food parcels.

I've gone from being a 'yay, I can fit into size eights on the highstreet' kind of person, to a, 'yay, I can fit into kids clothing intended for people who are 11' kind of person. It saves me money, at least.

I like being smaller, but I'd say it's a direct response to hall cooking. (Dodgy vegetarian options ahoy, and their insistence that yes, chips are a vegetable.)

You obviously aren't drinking enough :P

I've always wanted to be able to kid into children's shoes, but I doubt that any number of servings of partially-defrosted veggie lasagna could get me there.

Oui, Ms. "Who needs a garlic crusher?".

santa soc. i love christmas, but that just sounds terrifying.

[deathcookie]

It is terrifying. The fact that they were drunk just added to the sheer horror of being strangled with a garland of tinsel and being told to sing along to a hideous downtempo version of 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree'. Which I won't do in December, let alone October.

Oh, you are SO being made to do that this Christmas!
*e-mails Abby's mom*

Mrf.

Last Christmas, my workplace made me wear *antlers*. It's not fair to torture the athiest two years in a row. :P

so a good thing didnt go to the alt ball, then?

i'm feeling the procrastination too - have about 90 pages to read by thursday. i've had a month.

[deathcookie]

A good thing indeed -- the Alt Ball was mostly a bunch of bored indie kids drinking cheap drinks that tasted more like turpentine than vodka.

How's Leeds going for you? :)

[icklekitty]

pretty darn good - made some friends that are artsy and into rock - though im trying to get them out to some metal nights. joined rocksoc, my course seems pretty sweet too. details are on my lj. i'm going home for reading week - wont miss having to cook/clean up after myself!!

[chic_alors]

hey, i dj'd at the alternative ball!! i think you were praising jonny of strangeways fame's set, he's got impeccable music taste and we trashy razzmatazzers danced all the way through his set. we actually got ridiculously drunk and were making tits of ourselves, i vaguely remember baloon keepy-uppy, wrestling, chasing, floor dancing and possibly pole action too... i was in a too-small-for-me brown and white chunky stripes t-shirt. oh the shame... x

[deathcookie]

Possible pole action? I don't remember that. You were the guy in the DJ booth with shortish dark blond hair next to the girl with the Bis badge, yeah? Sorry for being too scared to say 'hello'.

Sadly didn't make it to Razzmatazz, due to flu, and the fact that most of the men I'd have gone with look better in dresses. Next month, though, definitely.
