WE HAVE DIGRESSED!

[themegaloo]

Or something. I am moving on from DAILY UPDATES OF RANDOM THINGS.

Okay, actually? I just couldn't top the whole Shower Thing. Man, those raping curtains, they are untoppable. Unsurprising, really. Can't be helped!!

I have just acquired a new roommate within the past five minutes or so. I heard voices from my little world of manga and went "THAT IS A VOICE I DO NOT KNOW, WHO IS HERE?!" Lo and behold! New roommate. I have no idea who he is, yet. But he got the room across from mine? IDEK! Moving on.

Yesterday I actually went out and STAYED out most of the day! I woke up, attempted to avoid curtain-rape (failed, failed and failed. woe is me!), talked to my mom on skype while eating a quick mean and then his the road! I went up to city centre, signed the lot of us up for a tour and...walked around for 5 1/2 hours.

This is not an exaggeration! It was cold, it was wet, cobblestones hurt my feet but I PERSEVERED! I was accosted by people in the Fresher's Week stalls, I opened a bank account, I found the Oscar Wilde Center (which is surrounded by SCIENCE BUILDINGS. Wilde would not approve. Complete defeats the concepts of Aestheticism. ART! ART FOR ARTS SAKE! And I will be surrounded by biochemistry. The only reason this makes sense is because the center is his actual home. Which is sorta cool. It's on Westland Row, but you have to get to it via the Hamilton Buildings which is seriously like an INDOOR STREET with access to all the back doors. it's sorta freaking cool. *_*

I was rained on multiple times and near blown away by sudden strong gusts of wind, but I survived the day until 5:30 when I met up with folks and 6:00 at which point the tour started.

There was, however, a difficulty with the tour. Clearly some wires got crossed along the lines and there was a BAND (and not a very good one, even if they were quite loud) playing in the front square, where our merry tour started. Thus, it was quite difficult to hear and I only have vague ideas about what all those front and very pretty buildings are for. OH WELL. The tour continued. We eventually got away from Mr. Off-Key and Loud and I could hear again. My toes froze. My feet were abused by large quantities of cobblestones. It was excellent fun! We ended at the Post-Grad Common Room (which is, in fact, very *_* and the couches are to die for) with free wine and cheese and the like. After which we decided we weren't nearly drunk enough and went out.

I returned somewhat-early on account of the "being-rained-on-many-times" bit and a strong desire to be DRY! DRY IS GOOD.Never have I been so happy to crawl into my PJs. it was heavenly. diktat made enormous fun of me for being intoxicated. ;_; I then went to sleep and all was well.

And today I'm lazy and just read NGE Gakuen Datenroku. UH. YES. PLS. MORE. WHY MONTHLY. ;_; I am very sad about this! And very late to the party. And minorly obsessed all over again, blast!

I have a meeting for my program at noon tomorrow and classes start monday, which means I can finally establish a SCHEDULE.

Time for some lunch!

Oh PS- Did you know that the Jedi Hall from Star Wars is a rip off of one of the Trinity Libraries? Like, a perfect replica but with jedi masters instead of literary figures as the busts?

Yeah me either. But it's pretty LOL-worthy!

You know, there are two times when I've been that wet: At the Globe Theater, and in March in Statesboro where my jeans had about a foot of puddle-splash. So, so, wet. Next time I do theater in London, I'm bringing a blanket. XD

I actually wasn't TERRIBLY wet, I've been far wetter many times, but I just couldn't dry off before getting RE-WET was the thing. And that wind is bitingly cold, let me tell you, especially when you're damp!!
