Apr. 14th, 2005 02:41 pmSo, today I decided that the best way forward was, in fact, staying in bed. am not staying off to be, as
loneraven puts it, fractuiously emo. (I spelt that wrong. I know.) Nor am I ill, ala
purplerainbow. If a teacher asks, I am. Actually, I plan on cheerfully informing them that I'm ovulating, but that's neither here nor there.
Nope, this is out of pure and unadultered laziness. For those who don't attand my Educational Institute, we are currently without a Principal, as he has been nabbed by a failing college in London and been offered £20,000 a year more. This is the one advantage of having Fran Pridham of Senior Management teach me English. So, we meander happily along under the tuelage of the Vice-Principal, but he doesn't fancy the job indefinitely. So the college is Hiring and all the teachers, in an attempt to put the fear of God into the three candidates, have all gone to interview them, or something similiar. If memory serves, there are about 100 teachers at the barest minimum, and I suspect that the student reception team and the librarians and the key skills teachers and the IT technicians all went along for the ride too.
As such, first lesson cancelled. As mentioned, English teacher is Senior Management and has been nicked all day for the interviews. I had media, but psssssst. And the last lesson is a free lesson anyway. Clare persuaded me to take the day off. It didn't take much persuasion. There was the argument that I needed to go in for media, but I spent all day yesterday working on it and am now about a thrid of the way through. It will take me less time later on, as most of that time was taken up my trying to make theme tunes mix together. So today, I slept until noon and holy crap do I feel better for it. I feel much less like I want to kill someone, and I've even been marginally productive, and done my accommodation forms. Scary though it was to put down my interests to try and place me with suitable people.
"Do you regularly go to bed after midnight? No. Do you regularly wake up before 8am? NO. Do you have any hobbies and interests (if so list here)? Sci-fi, fantasy, medieval battle re-enactment, occasional nights out, reading, writing, the internet."
I am going to end up in a room by myself if it kills me. The original plan was to put down interests as "The Manson Family, blood, ultra-violence, Cher" to try and get myself by myself, but that could backfire. The next option included "God, church, George Bush" but that could backfire too. As such, myself as myself will probably end up either happily alone or with someone who is scarily like me. Which might be a good thing.
I planned on doing my history coursework today as well, but I left my stuff at college yesterday as I went out in the evening with Clare to see Valiant. It is film about pigeons in WWII. And it has Tim Curry in it. That's all that needs to be said.
As such, I will be doing nothing today and I plan on enjoying it. I am in my comfy pants, so you know that's a sign. I'd quite like to make a post on the election, but I need to get my thoughts sorted on it. My political ideals are different to other peoples, which I fully appreciate, but I found this on
livejournal_uk. All I would like to emphasise is this: please vote. Please please please please vote. Because if reasonably tolerant people like you don't vote, the extremists get in.
"Prior to 1967, homosexuality was a crime and led to prison. It is unnatural and an undesirable lifestyle which can only be remotely tolerated if the current law is obeyed i.e. consenting adults IN PRIVATE. The constant promotion of this queer lifestyle on TV, soaps, radio, newspapers, etc as something which it is not - equivalent to heterosexism (sic) - drains my tolerance and I find the entire topic revolting, disgusting and scary. Queers should remain celibate and don't talk about it. You should all be ashamed of yourselves."
Do you want people like that in power? Really? Then vote. The BNP are depressingly politically active.
1. What does your LJ username mean? Internet nickname is Hathor, and always has been. It always will be. Colleen in my real name. People in the Stargate fandom would sometimes refer to me as Hathy. People have always called me Col. What else for the journal that is a curioous mixture of the two?
2. Elaborate on your default icon? It's the Doctor! And it's Rose! And they are sitting down looking all Sad And Angsty! I just like it. The icon is also called ot fucking p for a reason.
3. Did you lie about your age anywhere on the net? Once, but that was before I was Hathor and before I had fandom.
4. How many LJ friends do you have? 69. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
5. What is your current status? Tranquil, I think.
6. What are you wearing right now? Flared jeans, green t-hsirt, blue jumper jacket thingie. I AM MATCHING BABY.
7. What is life to you? Rollercoaster?
8. What is love to you? Very very very good.
9. What kind of people do you hate most? Intolerance.
10. What type of people do you like most? Ones who give me food.
11. What makes you happy? The most trivial things. Good food,
times with good friends, a happy film that makes me cry, not crashing my car, a few hours sleep.
12. Are you musically inclined? God, yes. I play the triangle to a fine art.
13. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out that the person you love most didn't exist or was killed? I can't even bear to think about it.
14. If you could go back in time and change one thing what would it be? There are a million and one thingsI'd like to erase from my life. All of them would result in me not being me. Sometimes that might be a good thing, but in the long run it wouldn't.
15. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day what would it be? A big shaggy silly dog. I saw one in the park yesterday and you ould almost feel its thought processes. "OH MY GOD! Look! Looklooklooklook! It's a person! OH WOW WATER! Let's go swimming, let's go swimming let's go swimming OH WOW DUCKS THIS IS JUST SO COOOOOOOOOL!"
>b?16. Ever had a near death experience? Not that I remember. The most obvious one is a story I think I've told before, about the cat tripping mum up on the stairs when she was 8 months pregnant with me. Convinced her waters had broken, she went to the hospital ith Dad. Turned out she had simply wet herself. I never get bored of this story.
17. Name ONE obvious personality quality you have? Passion. Of all types.
18. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now? The Bravery. Can't remember the name.
19. Are you happy today? The most I have been all week. And it's nice. I feel strangely calm.

What if you substituted "queers" with some other random label: Blondes should be celibate and [not] talk about [sex]. Same with tall folks, fat folks, smart folks, six-fingered folks, and politicians. None of us would get any!
I play the triangle to a fine art.
Is there a living in that?
A big shaggy silly dog.
Well, as Mora pointed out, us doggie-wannabes would have to accept the butt-licking.

Being a dog would still be cool.

Date: 2005-04-14 04:05 pm (UTC)Multi-Cultural is the new Marxism - and as such it depends upon repression for its power. We are now entering the second social phase of the ' Multi-Cultural Model' which is the seizure of wealth, property and power from the indigenous people and its re-distribution to the new 'Britons' that have settled in this country.
OMGWTFBBQ? I don't even know where to begin criticising something so ridiculous. And I do love how they put new 'Britons' in inverted commans. Grrrr.
Yeah, I don't like the BNP.
And I completely agree with your answer to #14 of that meme :)

Thanks for that, you really made me laugh! Days off are fabulous.
And as to the stupid BNP people - they are all morons. Gay people are far cooler than any others in the world. So yah-boo sucks to them. :)

Date: 2005-04-14 10:20 pm (UTC)well done on the doing nothing front. that's pretty much my plan for tomorrow, though unfortunately i really will have to be in college for some of it.
in other news, i nearly ran in to someone today. it really really really wasn't my fault. i was wandering down this little street and she turned right out of a give way without looking to her right - i couldn't tell if she even noticed us as she went past, blank smile on her face. me and driving instructor both slammed on the brakes, twas very exciting - he also went for the clutch which means i must have been faster, since we stalled...
what was that woman thinking? it shook me up a little since it reminded me of the crash my friends had at the weekend...
anyway sorry to ramble at you, i'm doing that more and more these days. *huggles* see you soon.
