hathycolGod, I hate it when the college system is down. It was all day yesterday, and I had all kinds of random babbling to do about managing to scrape an A in my English mock (egads, I say! Egads!) and about the planned Christmas party of joy in college tomorrow - we've all been given appropriate party food to bring in (I'm on cheese sandwich watch) and it's all happy and bright. And I wanted to talk about history of Tuesday.
DAVE: Colleen! You're wearing dark nail varnish!
COLLEEN: Yeah, I put it on Saturday and I haven't taken it off yet.
DAVE: Why do you have black nail varnish at all?
COLLEEN: I went through A Phase and my make-up hasn't changed since then.
DAVE: This doesn't surprise me, actually.
A little later, we were studying the Witchcraze.
DAVE: ... and in Puritannical Essex, they felt that the Apocolypse was drawing nigh... Colleen, what do you understand about the Apocolypse?
COLLEEN (sighing that it's ME he asks about this): According to Revelations, it's when the end of the world occurs and the four horsemen - War, Famime, Poll- erm, Pestilence and DEATH - stalk the earth, the dead rise, there's a big battle between heaven and hell and there shall be an Antichrist - son of the Devil - and the number of the beast shall be 666and there'll be really slashy angels and devils AND WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?
Yesterday, all in all, was a relatively pleasant day. I mean, college itself was fairly harmless, despite the lack of work I got done. Much in the way of cancelled lessons as compared to the bastards who are cancelling Christmas. Elaine, I'm looking at YOU. Despite that, politics was fun - we had a Real Live American ("as opposed to those fake Australians?") as an observer, to Elaine being Elaine looked at him thoughtfully.
"We're doing American politics. Get up here and talk about the executive."
We bombarded him with thoughtful, probing questions about the American electorate. This would have made us look really good where it not for the fact that I'd had an argument with Tom MacNamara...
TOM: I'll just burn my notes!
COLLEEN: Just like a Tory, that! You don't care about society goes and you don't give a shit about the environment!
We also spent much of the lesson passing jelly babies and chocolate eclairs around. It's all good.
The evening had a distinct downside - seeing Emily and Clare was nice, but seeing Ron with a broken window as some cunt had broken into it and stolen her bag with her schoolwork in it. I mean... uh? What's the point? I tried to be practical and nabbed the official looking people at the station. Then I phoned the police, realised I didn't know the area for shit which resulted in Clare talking to them. However, the police said they would phone up later.
Huh, we thought. So, as planned, we went to the cinema. I amazed myself with my geographical knowledge, directing us to Switch Island, and in we went to the Phantom Of The Opera. As far as I'm concerned, the best character/character I'd want to be is the Phantom. Who doesn't want a swooshy cloak and a dramatic leif motif every time they appear? Film was good, though, despite weirdness of Jennifer Ellison. I mean, dude.
So today, I woke up, came into college, etc, etc. Went to history before realising that I didn;t actually need to be there - it was a half lesson. Cursed dramatically. However, my other two lessons are also cancelled today. I think so - I think English is cancelled and I'm just not going anyway. Conclusion: I'm in college for a half lesson. I am NOT amused. I'm going home in about 30 minutes with Jess, and we shall buy Christmas party food, and I shall wrap my present and revise for politics. I'm going out with Simon tonight to see The Incredibles and I'm looking forward to it SO much - haven't seen Simon for ages.
I have been given Eol as my Secret Santa pairing. I may have to read up on him again. Also, I can't remember who owns Eol so I have some more reading to do. Ah well.
I've been listening to the radio in the mornings recently, as I'm in a radio type of mood. I have an attachment that I've been using on my MP3 player. I actually yelped in the middle of the park when I heard that Blunkett had gone. I mean... yeah, about time, this whole thing is not big, or clever. Does anyone know WHY IN SWEET HEAVEN they've put Charles Clark as Home Secretary, though?
... bah.
