I am really, really cold. No idea why, actually, but I'm curled up in a big jumper and my quilt next to the computer. I have a nagging feeling that I'm coming down with something, as my throat is scratchy, my head is sore and I can't make temperatures work right.

Speaking of working, I wrote my 800 word essay thing yesterday. I feel awesomely proud of myself for doing so, and then I feel depressed bcause it's nowhere near the amount I want to do. Today I am going to do all my tutorial reading, and as I got out of bed at midday this means I won't be sleeping tonight.

I only got up cos I had dancing, too. Speaking of, I have decided to officially sack off jazz this semster (I won't catch up, there's no point) but I am very much involved in tap. I like the first dance. I am much more reserved about the second, but that's because I'm not impressed by the teaching or the frankly clique-y attitude of, um, the teachers and most of the members. But then, dancing is bitchy and always has been, so it's not like I'm not expecting it.

I had a very Old Skool moment of irritation. The Crap Teacher declared "yeah, and move your hips like you're trying to impress a guy!" and I had the same thought I had consistently at the same statement for the last three years I was a dancer "bollocks to that, what if I'm trying to impress a girl?" Then I felt bad because I am no longer trying to impress either (well, I am, but it's a specific guy and anyway that's not the point) but yeah, I am marrying a guy so maybe I'm not allowed to get as self-righteous about the whole issue? I don't know. It was a weird moment.

I'm still cold. Brrr. The heating was on by this time yesterday! Why is it so cold?

I have nothing of interest to actually talk about now. Sorry. We might be going out to the cinema later on today - I actually suggested it - but now I don't think I can justify it. It costs money and also I have lots of work to do. Curses.

Why would having a male fiancee stop you from being interested in gay rights?

No idea, but a lot of people have the attitude of "OMG DO NOT BE OFFENDED FOR YOU ARE TEH HETERO NOW" and it's massively hard to explain to people that I am, in fact, not TEH HETERO and I get quite offended when people assume I exclusively fancy men.

Okaaaay. That seems somewhat a strange attitude to me. *shrugs*

/me gave up trying to understand people a long time ago

It's an insane attitude, but one that most people always seem to have.

I keep on trying and keep on failing to understand.

The distinction is, half as self-righteous, and just as plain righteous as before. I think it's an offensive comment regardless.

It really is. I might make myself really unpopular and point it out if it's done again. Quite frankly, this isn't my dance school from MErseyside anymore, it's university where people are OPEN-MINDED.

It does seem incredibly cold today - I've only just warmed up after having a hot bath which drained the entire hot water tank. It's maybe the wind direction or something - looks like snow could be a possibility early in the week too. Mind you, I feel permanently sub-zero - I even needed to wear bedsocks in Hawaii!

Snow would be so fab, but I bet it doesn't happen. Honestly, I move all the way to Scotland...
