So sunny. I can hear the little choir boys doing their singing practice in cloisters. The last few days have been surreal. Very nice though, I think

If linguistics is non-prescriptive, can't I just write what I like?

Every essay I wrote for Mr Hedley was done on one book or fewer; yes, he hates me with a fervour only a fundamentalist could muster, but I'm still alive. The key is theorising - just make crazy guesses about why whatever it is came about - with your knowledge of ye olde Frenche, you should have no trouble. :)
(That, or help me out and tell him how terrible the reading lists he gives are - many of the books are only in the Bod, and I'm buggered if I'm going in there)

Yeah, he keeps going on about all this non-prescriptive business. It's a nightmare. He's supposed to be a fucking Christian. God should strike him down for such cruelty (and the fact that he's marrying goggle-eyed Gail just so he can shag her).
According to the Formal Hall list, he's going on Sunday...so will be getting rat-arsed in front of him and flirting outrageously with Jonny (I hope). Haha! Please sign up! Please! Think of the beautiful carnage!

I'm not convinced he's ever going to shag anyone...I think he'd find the whole thing repulsively biological. "Can't we just talk instead? I know some excitingly complex theories...!"
Ooh...as much fun as watching you getting it on with Jonny (glad to hear he has a name other than "Not quite Morrissey") and mocking Paul Hedley, Formal Hall frightens me more than I can say. The only time I went, they gave me a guinea fowl. Which displeased me.
