for the first time in about three weeks things are actually SETTLED. I'm in my own lounge, eating pasta + tuna + cheese + cherry cola, my DS is on the armchair, my guitar is on the floor, there's chocolate in near reach and my duvet is covering my feet.

BOOKS WHAT IS THIS MADNESS

I have 12 books at university (that aren't "The effects of UV light on blah blah") and they are:

Ben Elton: The First Casualty
Leonard Miall: Inside the BBC
Stephen Fry: The Liar
Frank Skinner: Frank Skinner
Peter Mandelson: The Third Man
Ben Elton: Meltdown
Dara O'Briain: Tickling the English
Jack Dee: Thanks for Nothing
Frankie Boyle: My Shit Life So Far
The Rik Mayall: Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ
Greg Dyke: The Inside Story
Douglas Adams: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

... I've read all of them, of course. Most of them really recently. WOW, MY BOOK COLLECTION IS SO ECLECTIC. Sweary comedians and their autobiographies and BBC propaganda. *Wavy hands*

Well, I have read The First Casualty a couple of times over-well, mostly because Elton went out of the usual 'MIDDLE AGED MAN HAS AN AFFAIR+ZEITGEIST' plot to 'MIDDLE AGED MAN HAS AN AFFAIR+HISTORY' idea, you know, for variety!

...Hitchhiker's Guide can never be read enough times. Memorise it until your nerd credentials pulsate with quotes, until the nerd parts of your brain THROB PAINFULLY

why do I give advice like this

I ALREADY HAVE IT MEMORISED *SRS FACE*

And the radio series.

Srsly, I can quote anything back to you if you feed me the line. (I've won bets along this line before).

I love Hitchhikers. I love it to big pieces of whale meat. And this edition is the only thing left to me by my grandfather, so it's been well read throughout my childhood.

Also, Ben Elton crippled me with his writing in Meltdown. I'm such a whore for Elton - I fall easily into his traps and twists and usually end up hating him for writing so well and always making me go "ah, I see where he's going here..." and then BLOWING MY MIND AWAY.

I wish I had suggestions but oh god my life is also so internet centric that it is not even funny. I am a tetris addict so that is my personal default when there shoddy internet(also writing. Lots of writing). Dvds? Anywhere interesting nearby you could go to/hang out at?

OH MY GOD TETRIS. Tetrisfriends.com or .net or whatever it is is my ~secret addiction~. That and bubbleshooter.

I'm completely underdressed for going out, and not really up to the 9pm rush of the pubs. I could put on a DVD, but I'm used to doing thirty things at once, you know? Usually I'm watching telly/writing/doing something else.

*Goes to find young ones DVD*

TETRIS IS MY LOVE. I have never tried them. Bubble shooter! Yeeees. also I love super collapse.

Ugh pub rush. I hear ya. I also am the 'tend to have 6 things going at once' sort.

Tetrisfriends.com or whatever the fuck has missions and shit to stop you getting too bored. My mother used to play tetris all the time when she was preggers with me, so I think it rubbed off through the placenta or some shit - it's definitely my go-to thing when I'm bored - but I have not the broadband for such a whimsy.

Also I'd be a loser on my own :/ Fuckin' housemates and their money and freedom /exceedingly bitter. Will all change in a week when Fresher's starts. Then drinking 'till the end of time!

I play with cats and crochet. Which is not that hard to do (I taught myself when I was TEN!). Also, I put on loud music and dance/work out.

My cat is at home, and he can't really be played with - rather played AT. The only time he shows affection is when you're holding the packet of food above his ginger faaaace.

I used to scoobi a lot, but that's not really knitting or crocheting and was mostly to kill time in History class. Do you have scoobi-ing in the Americas?

AH YES MUSIC. iTunes updated and it scared me, but I shall try and find my Kasabian album on its shiny new screen. But I'm not much of a dancer - more a singer.

emmypenny September 7 2010, 19:55:47 UTC
Well then obviously you should just get another one.

...I have no idea what that is. And google only pulled up stuff about pasta and Scooby Doo porn.

I don't use iTunes or have an ipod, but I am sorry that it scared you.

I would, but we'd need a forklift to move this one. We think he's been scarred from when he was a kitten and the next door neighbours accidently locked him in their garage for half a week with a big dog guarding his only exit. Now he trusts no one.

DAMN IT RULE 34 it's this. It's, like, a thing to keep your hands doing something and you make keychains and stuff. And it's spelt scoubi, sorry. But you need special gel strings, although I have done it with normal string once upon a time. It's just a little more difficult.

It's version 10 and when I downloaded it the icon changed and everything looks really old or retro and I got worried and thought apple had jumped into a time warp or something. It looks really bad, but eh. THE THINGS US MAC LOVERS PUT UP WITH.

You can always read books online. http://www.scribd.com/

OR OR WRITE MY PAPER for grad school that would be good.

OOH GRAD SCHOOL. Tell me more *hands chin*

scribd won't load because of bandwidth and I can't download shit on this crappy internet, but I'll bookmark it for later.

UM. Right now I am taking tests on Academic Integrity like I'm some kind of retarded child. DUN CHEET, K?

Later maybe I will learn something.

kinkme September 7 2010, 20:16:35 UTC
wtf is academic integrity?

I have a mate who got a first (top tier marks) in her first year by copying the girls next to her in the exam room last semester. And the uni doesn't know. She could do with that test.
