"Jesus. He strikes me as more a lasagne man."

Quick post to let you all know that I am safe, well, and living in a house. It is somewhat grotty on the outside, but a little palace indoors. I am on the uni computers but hopefully I will be hooked up to the internet by the end of the evening, presuming Joan co-operates.

So, there will be a big post soon. I want to write one now! So much has happened. In the shortest way possible, the journey was scary as hell. Moving in is terrifying. Unpacking takes ages. Cooking for yourself can be fun, it seems. I have five housemates. In order of when I met them:

Sarah - OMG TOTALLY THE SCOTTISH balthaser. Seriously. Glasweigan, doing psychology, lives opposite the kitchen, drinks a lot, doing psychology. Also, Stargate peeps - is the younger sister of a Stargate fan called Elizabeth Fletcher. The name sounds familiar. Anyone know her? She's been to conventions, apparently.

Lisa - American! Californian, to be precise. Bit of a unknown quality as of yet - slightly sociable, doesn't drink, but doing history, which is good.

Katie - lives opposite me. Plays bass guiter, doing philosophy, drinks lots too, likes some nerdy stuff, it's all good.

T'Other One - Seriously. No idea. Not entirely sure of her name, which is really awful of me. She hides all the time. We have tried inviting her out, to our communal meals, on walks, to the shops, and nothing. We think she's called Salsomething. Erk. She cleans a lot, too.

Derya - My next door neighbour. Lovely German girl who drinks lots of vodka and is doing international relations.

So, we all share a house. It's really rather odd. One shower and one bathroom upstairs. Kitchen and Lisa, T'Other One and Sarah are all downstairs, whereas the rest of us reside upstairs. The hall and stairway are terrifying. So is our lounge - it's like a dentists waiting room. However, we have collectively developed kleptomania, and have decorated it. With, um, a trolley. I didn't do it. I woke up this morning, went for a shower and saw a trolley in there. Which is odd, given that the lounge is upstairs.

It's going to be a very strange year, I think.

I miss everyone a lot - what's going on? How are all you crazy people?

yes, it will be crazy. spaghetti with tinned tomatoes, chopped up wafer thin beef (slightly fried to give the impression it's actually meat) and lots of melted cheese is very nice and easy! also, heinz tomato soup.

Going quietly crazy job-hunting, and suspecting that all my friends are moving far away (in cases where they were far away already, even *further* away). I'm glad to hear that you have a house and stuff, though. I'm not sure if I should congratulate you or commiserate with you about the trolley.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

I didn't pick up the trolley.

Honest.

Good luck with job hunting!

[not-vacillating.livejournal.com]

I believe you, my mother wouldn't.

Thanks. I think I need all the luck I can get.

Erm, one of my flatmates claims her little sister went to school with you :p

[(Anonymous)]

Does she have a name? She probably did and thinks I'm a psycopath.

[flickerswitch.livejournal.com]

Her name is Jenny. Or did you mean her sisters name?

And, dude, sign in!

Hello!

Richard and Judy seem to be running some "teach students how to cook" feature where they'll come to your new student house and teach you how to cook well on tight budget. So I dunno, you may want to watch out for that/enter yourself XD.

Can you understand the Scottish people? Can they understand you?

Absolutely bloody zilch round here. Hannah and Clare are apparently having a ball, though.

Glad you're having fun. Give us the full update, tell me more about the shopping trolley!

[tau_sigma]

Heh, trollies... people in my sister's halls managed to get a picnic table from the pub into their kitchen ... ?!

(note to self: do not become T'Other One. *g*)

Had lunch in Liverpool to mope with Iona that we'd both been abandoned. Other than that I spend my life being attacked by a puppy. I want to go already and join in the fun! :P

T'Other One - She cleans a lot, too. - sure you're not living with my ex-housemate?

[sevenhelz.livejournal.com]

you need a bollard too. then you will truly recreate the Student Setting.
or maybe that's just my mad drunken cardiff mates.

i divide my time between work and bed. it's really not that interesting.

Apparently someone here managed ro steal a picnic bench last year.

There are grand plans to steal a horse this summer, just before we all go home!

That sounds like a very cool household. a scottish enid would be kind of weird. Glad to hear you're alive, and you better continue updating. Well at least you dont have to get a trolley at the supermarket anymore :P
