hathycolOkay, what started out as good day has steadily toddled downhill. Turns out I've just missed the trip to go dry slope skiing with Rangers. Thought it was next week. I'm absolutely gutted. I haven't been to Rangers for ages, I really needed to see Emmeline (FUCKSHITARSETHINKINGDAY) and all in all I'm not happy with myself. I don't have time for Guiding at the moment. I am too busy. I know I'm not half as busy as some people (twenty hours! A week!) but I'm quietly drowning a bit now.
And yes, I am posting on LJ when I have Stuff To Do. I handed in English and confessed my sins, but fortunately she has taken it well and also promised to sit down with me and see exactly what it is that's made me so damned unstuck about this.
I can feel the teenage angst come crashing down, and that is a Bad Thing. Everyone else in unhappy at the moment, and well, where would you be without your cheerful Colleen to come and post inanely? I am just ridiculously overworked, and as such I'm rebelling and just not working. This leads to the somewhat scary feeling of managing to let everyone down which is what I hate more than anything else. Does that make sense? Something is going to have to give soon... I KNOW! SLEEP!
In all seriousness, I may need to speak to Emmeline regarding my Queen's Guide. It's impossible to fit it all in! And this Sunday I have Thinking Day. NOOOOOOO.
< /teh angst>
I have actually done half of the homework that needs doing tonight. As you may be able to tell, I'm not touching my English.
Also, mowbly! And a very odd question re: 27th-30th May. Apparently it involves my birthday present this year. Although, scarily, my birthday? Not until August. I am confused and curious. More so than usual.
Everyone else's is so cool, dammit, and mine is just a bit nerdy. So, 10 Cool Things About Me:
1. There is no episode of Stargate ever filmed where I have not met at least one of the cast.
2. I have been attending educational institutions with some of the same people for over 15 years. Even more worryingly, one of them is coming to Aberdeen. To study history.
3. My front right tooth has been mostly removed. At the age of 8, my best friend of the time hit me around the mouth with a canoe paddle (accidentally) and knocked half of it out.
4. When I was 4, a very scary hairy bloke came into my primary school and declared that he knew my Dad. I misheard it, thought he said he was my Dad and promptly panicked. I went home that afternoon, told my mother, and the police were called and there was a security alert at the school for three days until they twigged it was this man: Colin Pickthall, the local Labour MP. That was an election year, too. Whoops. Still, he was voted in... This is why living in a Very Political Family is a bad thing.
5. My name, Colleen, is the name of an Irish Catholic saint. My Methodist great-grandmother from my mother's side provided the name. True story.
6. My cat tried to kill me even before I was alve. When my mother was 8 months pregnant, she was wandering downstairs in the dark and the cat put out a paw. She stumbled down the stairs and was convinced she was in early labour and had broken her waters. Turns out she had, in fact, just wet herself. This story still amuses me and I wasn't even THERE.
7. I am the first member of my family on my maternal side to go to university. If all goes to plan, I will beat the paternal side by being the first to enter Parliament. Even though my uncle would have taken Pickthall's place, but, well, female-only list...
Why is this turning into my family history?
8. The boy I had my first kiss with came out of the closet about the same time I did.
9. Despite being defensively lapsed-Catholic, I was baptised CofE.
10. I work in the biggest Homebase in the world. Possibly universe.
Dude, I need to have me some adventures...
