hathycolI am in Cambridge. This is a thing of goodness, as I think it will Do Me Good to get out of the house for a few days. It's a little bit mental at the moment, and I had one of those evenings that I remember Iona describes as 'slow motion horror' because going to the pub was a good idea, you see, until the moment that it wasn't. That moment came in the morning after two hours sleep. Oh well. I do not think my hormones are helping at the moment. Was actually a good night for the vast majority, although apologies are required from my housemates to Simon as he phoned while we were all absolutely shit-faced.
Note to self. "We'll stay in the pub until it closes" is a silly thing to do as it's open until 1. Also remember the whole 35ml shot thing makes doubles MORE PAINFUL.
Speaking of housematey nuttiness, I have photos from our grand roadtrip. Ah, facebook. Katie's commentary made me cry with laughter, though. ("This is the car, after it had stopped billowing ACRID SMOKE.")
You can actually slightly see the hazard lights on here. My poor wee car.
They cheerfully assume it'll be fixed. I suspect not. (That's Sarah on the left and Katie on the right.)
Really, really suspect not. I have no idea why I made this face.
We were told not to wait in the car. Sarah is bored.
Pointing to planes on a motorway embankment is a Bad Thing to do as the cars also look. Funny, though.
A rain dance to encourage to RAC to HURRY THE FUCK UP. Derya is the blonde.
RAC man! Yay! This is was 30 seconds before I was told of My Doom.
About to be towed. I like this photo.
Being towed. Now I think about it, that slogan scares me a little.
Taken a while ago in the Union. Moleen Colleen!
I slept almost all the way to Cambridge (leading to me flinging myself off the train at Peterborough with gay abandon but mostly panic) due to the hangover. Luckily,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmysuze met me! Hurrah! She was having a nosey about Cambridge for PhD colleges, so we met up and Did Coffee. Or to put it another way, tea. It was really nice to see her again, and bitch about first-years and university and scallies. Always good fun.
And then I saw Simon! Which is also a good thing, obviously. I am currently in his room, and I shall be here for a long time because I don't fancy going back to university just yet. I have the most incredibly sore neck (nothing like that you filthy perverts) and my head is very confused because I am the hormonal queen. Poor Simon. Saying that, have just spent an enjoyable few hours curled up in bed having just woken up, just talking. And that's always nice, so I am feeling happier in general. Also a plus point.
I should get dressed and go to Sainsburys. Yes. But first, a meme stolen fromjennnlee.
Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
If tapes count, erm, PJ and Duncan Psyche! For those fo you unaware of this phenonomen, they are Ant and Dec, back in the days that they were wee and had only just come out of Byker Grove and were called PJ and Duncan in the show.
I was nine okay?
CD-wise, it's probably... um... I'm willing to put my hand up and say that no one else will have The Beautiful South's album. Forget which one. Has 'Perfect 10' on it. (eta: Amazon tells me it is called 'Quench.')
Name a book you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
You lot are well-read and I am a philistine. Hmmph. Let me think.
Erm.
'More Grub On Less Grant' possibly. Ye Olde Cookbook from the days of grants. Now it's all loans. Which is worse.
Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
I have the original Battlestar Galactica on VHS. Bargain, I tell you.
Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
Ormskirk.
I'm not sure, because there's always someone living where I have. Skiathos, the Greek island? (If we're talking strictly flist here.)
Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
A SKODA. None of you lot owe on because you are all SANE. But I loffle my Starbug, yes.
I don't think I can get away with turning this song us as loud as possibly whilst in Cambridge... Oh well.

Baby, leave a little two for me
No, I don't have that album - I have their greatest hits compilation "Carry on up the charts" and "Blue is the colour", because it has "Don't marry her" on it.

Date: 2006-01-28 03:35 pm (UTC)the pinnacle of cheeseyness is used as a soundtrack to doing the washing up, along with Kylie's first album, 911 and a best of james brown. tape is the way to go (and also when we've been drinking - last time it was vodka&orange til 3am then we went skateboarding. that's how cool we are)
I have the sequel to 'more grub less grant', and i've been to ormskirk (my aunt used to live there, she also owns the beautiful south album)but not skiathos (island of the daleks right?)

Date: 2006-01-28 04:14 pm (UTC)I have this. Gift from the shop! :)
Otherwise, excellent photos (seriously, I do think you could make a stellar modern art installation out of them; they have that starkly lit, each-frame-tells-a-story quality) and I like the list. Shall nab meme shortly.
