Brrrr. *shivers* It's not meant to be this cold and it's annoying that it is. Seriously, people, it's the 15th October, not December. The heating doesn't come on for another three hours (methinks it is an effort to send us to the library) but my computer is by the window, because that is where the desk is. As such, I am FREEZING to death, but if I curl up in my quilt again, I will sleep. I am sleeping too much at the moment, and it's just not right. Went to bed at about 1am last night and woke up at noon, feeling delightfully decadent, given that I went downstairs to discover Derya and Sarah working AGAIN. I feel so terribly lazy in comparison. Oh well. I do, actually, plan to do some work this weekend.

No, really. I need to do some reading (AS ALWAYS) and my Spanish homework. I am disliking Spanish and I wish that my Spanish teacher wasn't so insistent of teaching us Spanish Spanish rather than Generic Latin America Spanish, because then I could annoy people on my flist to do my work instead. Alas.

Also need to clean the lounge (there is stil curry-related rice on the floor) and get my laundry. And put some more in, as I changed the bedsheets again last night. To be fair, I had spilled milk on them and they needed it. ph3ar my cleaning skillz.

I really want a bath. I wonder if I could invade a halls of residence and nick one of theirs?

You can have mine! I have a bath and no shower. Urgh.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Well, when you come to visit (hinthint) you can borrow our shower. EXCEPT IT IS EVIL.

And, y'know, when I come to visit, I may nick your bath. Speaking of, we shall be there over reading week, possibly on the Sunday? (Lack of lectures type of thing...) Although I may come solo just for teh Gaiman loff. Should make definite plans. Too lazy to bother...

Oh, good. And you must come to Neil Gaiman! It can be our mini-con for the year. And you can use the bath though it is skanky.

(See? I said "skanky"! I'm not a southerner yet!)

*wants to so much*

We shall see how much my funds allow and how much it will cost me to bus over there. (Checked out the drive and it is terrifying.)

Skanky! Yay you! If you catch me saying 'scraffy' then hit me, because that is Glasweigan AND I WILL NOT SPEAK WEEJI I REFUSE I REFUSE.

It is, isn't it? Something like a hundred miles in three hours. Extraordinary.

*sends good thoughts to Colleen's bank account* I miss you and your craziness and no-one gets it when I say "oh-muh-guh", dammit!

What does "scraffy" mean?

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

The train is actually slightly quicker, so...

No one here gets my madness, so it will be Most Spiffy to see you again.

Scraffy means skanky, as far as I can tell. The problem with the slang in this house is that it can only be translated in terms of more slang, which makes life confusing for our American and German...

You can have my heating. Seriously, it's annoying the hell out of me. I have to open my window and sit with the door open because I'm too hot, and have fear of turning it down, because oh yes! the knob is cracking... help me. I haven't slept under my duvet all week. I want cold!

Buy a nice big furry dressing gown and wrap yourself up in it to work. With many cups of tea and hot chocolate and coffee. *warm hugs*

Skanky is northern? We say that in the midlands, although I spose personally I'd probably say manky more often. Heh, I so should have studied linguistics, it's fascinating.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Midlands is practically Northern. I am practically from there and my extended family all live there, so... yeah.

I think skanky is just for those of us who weren't educated at Eton/Harrow...
