I am being really rubbish at leaving comments at the moment. I'm sorry. My internet time is limited and the computer is rubbish so the trick is to not open as many windows as possible. I LOVE YOU ALL HONESTLY and hopefully through the power of magic or at least technology I may be on a shiny wireless connection in about three weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If I have internet in the bedroom, there is a chance that no one will die this summer.

Er. Things aren't going well and I am getting more than a little antsy and claustrophoic. It's not good, really. Doctor Who, and a suitably fangirlish conversation with loneraven afterwards helped very much, though.

Erm. Yeah. Work starts tomorrow, which from one perspective is 'YAY OUT OF THE HOUSE' and from another is 'BOO I HAVE TO WORK.' Also I need to take up my new trousers tonight. That is probably the most practical thing I will have done for many days.

I think I just feel a bit stifled. I would like to talk about... intellectual stuff. I would like to watch David Starkey's Monarchy rather than the Big Brother repeats. In fact, I'd rather not watch Big Brother. I'd rather read The Independent than The Mirror. I'd rather talk about history than mobile phones, or clubbing, or clothes, especially when I'm dragged off the phone because my mother wants fashion advice. CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF WOMAN WHAT NECKLACE YOU WEAR WILL MAKE NO BASTARDING DIFFERENCE.

And, er, I don't know if that's me being a snob. Maybe I am a snob. I probably am, thinking about it. I don't think that I'm better, per se but I like using words like, well, per se and discussing things rather than just be informed that I'm trying to show off. I'm not. That's the normal pattern of my speech, now.

Dog remains awesome. He dos not judge me, or if he does, he keeps quiet about it.

... I can't do this for another eleven weeks. Other people get on with their families. I am too different. I am bloody aware I'm the black sheep of the family but I would like it if people just accepted that rather than doggedly attempt to mould me back into who I was when I was seventeen.

I don't think I can explain it, but the fact that I keep on bursting into tears on fairly flimsy premises (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition springs to mind) as well as sleeping for twelve hours every day might go some way to show exactly how trapped I feel.

CAN EVERYONE WHO LIVES NEAR ME PLEASE TO BE COMING BACK SOON OR FINISH THEIR EXAMS QUICKER KTHXBAI.

Also: when are the exam results out for St A's? Anyone know?

Hey, I feel for you, I really do!

Exam results are out tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest I'm told. Oh dear!

*hugs* I don't think it's snobbish; it's just being different. Hooray for dog, and you know you are always welcome to visit me at some point. ...I realise this is quite a helpless offer since you are now working and then off to Cambridge. Still. I would love to see you (and Iona) again this summer, so perhaps at some point there could be meeting up somewhere? :)

*pats dog*

WELL ACTUALLY here is the thing. My Grandad does, in fact, live in Worchester and I need to visit him in a 'I am a grateful grand-daughter and thank you for coughing up towards my rent next year' type of thing this summer and I could easily bring Iona and, you know, you can see the Malverns from his house!

A plan! I think not. The beginning of? I think so! There should definitely be a meet-up, though. Would be awesome to see you again.

(Or, if you fancy schlepping up here, there is the unmitigated joy of the Doctor Who exhibit in Blackpool. I'M JUST SAYING.)

[tau_sigma]

Oooooh. Yes! Either/both are good with me :) Worcester is not half so interesting as a Doctor Who exhibit, clearly, but if you're coming down anyway, well...

Awesome is entirely the word. *g*

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Both sounds good to me too! It won't be for a while yet - need to co-ordinate my days off and when my Grandad is actually in (globe-trotting is bad enough, but he actually runs a holiday company is facilitate the globe-trotting; oh dear) but hopefully there should be, you know, meeting up. Yay! Etc.

Lots of people live in Essex! YOU ARE JUST THE BEST ONE.

The Sinner says the 8th with degree classifications out on the 9th.

Not knowing this I've been checking fairly regularly and more or less having a heart attack before scrolling down to find my grades not there.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Ah meep. I got mine through today; you?

[ann-pan.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm off to Inverness then St Andrews for a couple of weeks, but when I get back we should meet up- it'd be crazy not to seen as we live pretty near each other! :-)

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I'm around at the end of June, work permitting; I do get a 'weekend' of two days off every four days, so we should meet up!

[purplerainbow.livejournal.com]

Come to Manchester for the day! I know it costs money and stuff but if you have a railcard then you can get tickets through Transpennine express really cheaply, and we can find cheap things to do etc. Come on...

You know you want to.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

I do want to! I'm free, er, tomorrow and Thursday and that's me unfree until I get back on the... er... 23rd? Except I know I'm working until pretty much the end of June. *kicks stuff* Will you still be around at the end of June? I haven't been to Manchester for AGES and I do really want to visit!

[purplerainbow.livejournal.com]

Yay! I am staying in Manchester until the end of June as am paying rent for the house anyway, but am away until 19th. Will be working at some point from then on but never know my shifts until the week before so we can negotiate nearer the time to find an exact day. Woo! If we can't find a day before I go home, we should still meet up in the 'Pool, because it's been far too long. Two years??

[sevenhelz.livejournal.com]

Uh, actually, if you're heading out to Manchester anyway, could I meet you there?
