I'm so fed up of being back at uni (mostly cuz I have one STUPID programming project, my other one is rather awesome and draws gas clouds and makes detectors go off and stuff, and basically I'm a genius) so I'm doing that age old 25 first lines meme, which someone else did vaguely recently.
( 25 first lines )
Apparently I don't listen to much music made after the turn of the century.
( And now for some random songs I uploaded for various reasons! )

I am currently locked in my room. I just don't know how much more ineptness and crappiness I can take from the estate agenty people (Kingsley Thomas by the way, naming names, NEVER RENT FROM THEM) and this shitty house. It looks pretty nice, but this week alone, we were without a kitchen sink or upstairs bathroom for 3 days (the washing up had to be done in the shower so we'd actually have something to eat off, the shower room is about the size of a postage stamp and has the tiniest sink known to humanity); the kitchen sink has been fixed now, but to fix the plumbing for upstairs half the kitchen will have to be pulled out, so we may be without that until January; and now I am locked in my room. MY ROOM DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LOCK. Just the door has always been a bit stiff, and now the mechanism has just stopped working altogether, LEAVING ME STRANDED. I also hadn't eaten yet today, so I had to let down a bag outside and Haz put food in it for me. The man from Somerfield looked at us like we were MAD. Now we just have to wait for the dude to arrive. We've taken off the handle and fiddled around as best we could, but to no avail. I really think we deserve some kind of compensation

This morning I had Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos, followed by Advanced Partial Differential Equations, followed by Advanced Dynamics (WHY DO WE HAVE TO TAKE A COMPULSORY MASTERS LEVEL COURSE IN 3RD YEAR??), 3rd year engineering sucks :(
On the plus side, my dinosaur detective mafia story book arrived ("somewhere between chinatown and jurassic park there's murder... deceit... and the best interspecies sex ever...", how could I not buy it?) AND WE'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO IN DECEMBER :D

Just A Day - Feeder |
] |
I AM WORKING ON THE DAY BOOK SEVEN COMES OUT. This makes me very sad. Stupid need for money. But I'm gonna come home and steal my brother's book (he ordered it online but will be away in Germany when it arrives, score!) and then ignore everyone 'til I finish it. Having a job is quite nice though, mostly because I haven't properly started yet and so can just sit around feeling smug. When I'm spending 42 hours a week calling up strangers and asking them for money, it'll probably be less fun.
Also, the other week, I had a dream in which I TURNED DOWN JOHN SIMM. Sometimes I really hate my brain. Admittedly, at one point the floor turned into a giant evil chicken, so my brain was clearly cracked out, but still. JOHN SIMM. It actually physically pains me.
I have done very little these holidays, other than buy six pairs of shoes. All from Primark. Mostly plimsolls. Some may say I have an addiction. I don't really have anything to counter that.
Oh life's boooooooooooooooooooring. But yay soon work! And a "holiday" to Northumberland for a few days...
Also, I swear London men get scummier every time I come back.

It might be a sign that I've watched too much Mighty Boosh these hols, but Howard Moon is starting to look bizarrely attractive. As is Naboo, especially out of costume in the extras.
Definitely time to start revision properly.

Sweet Baby James - James Taylor |

Yesterday, I got home from engineering buildings after 6, then shlumped in front of the tv/attempted to do some work for the evening, then went to work from midnight-4am. This morning, I got up again for my 9am lecture :( I'm working midnight-4am four nights this week and four nights next week, I'm not too sure why I thought this was a good idea?? Oh well, moolah-a-coming. I also now have a course which involves getting given a 10 hour (and that's if you're GOOD at it! I'm not.) assignment in two different programming languages (Java and Haskell, OH HOW I HATE ALL COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.) every Monday, and having to hand it in on Friday. And that's on top of all my other work. I will learn to function independent of sleep!
In the last 24 hours, I have had five cups of tea, two coffee shots (a helluva lot of coffee and sugar, not much water) and about three hours of sleep. Ahahahahhahaha, I'm going to be a wreck soon aren't I? :D
I've been whinging lots :)

I Won't Say I'm In Love - Hercules |

I really want to have something terribly exciting to say here, but I just don't have anything. We have a kinda exciting project at the moment where we have to, as a group, figure out why some rollercoaster crashed (IN REAL LIFE! Oh yes, engineers are cool...) but that's about it. OOH, except I won TWO bottles of Lucozade this morning just for hitting some lights! It was great. Although orange flavour is crap. But I still got one apple flavoured! And that makes it all alright.
And now, ( ridiculously exciting pictures! You know you want to look... )

Today, I earnt over £30! I also burnt myself on my jeans. The two are (sadly?) not related.
I also broke my space bar last night and so typing this entry took waaaaaaaaaaay longer than it should've done.

The words "careers fair today" have started to lose all meaning. Stupidly few students took my leaflets though, damn them, I hope they fail in future life and end up at McDonalds 'til they retire! THEN they'll need my leaflets...
I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired.
I'm hopefully less poor though, but have possibly already spent all my earnings on a washing machine. I start Spanish this afternoon, yay.
I have no more exciting news, and once again I am watching Scrubs on the sofa. I really should go put up some crappy posters soon.

Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts - Dum Dums |
] |
Nerdiest sentence I have ever heard (and if you've seen the company I keep, this is quite an achievement): "Actually, I'm a bit of an internet authority on travelling faster than the speed of light." Why do I always attract the random strangers?? Luckily, however, after a bit he seemed to concentrate on confusing Carl while I stared at our lecturer's very turquoise t-shirt (the peaceful alternative to whacking the nerdy stranger with his own cane - not all can carry off arrogance and a cane like House, it seems).
Yes, am back at Bristol, whoop-dee-doo. Not much has changed at all. Except I REALLY should do some revision. And need to go pick up my drugs soon.
On the postive side though, I passed my driving test last week :D OH YEAH.

*DEAD*
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) singingout and bt_phonebox came to visit me and piesecki this weekend which was OODLUMS of fun but there was so much WALKING and climbing towers (so pretty!) and stuff and fresh air! :o So knackered.
Also, we went out to Klub Kute at Cooler (less crap than the name suggests, honest! And they played Ever Fallen In Love by The Buzzcocks TWICE and there is no better song to dance crazily to) and danced energetically til the early hours with govannen and Sally. And being the fool that I am, I wore huuuuge heels and so have been hobbling ever since. Oops. But they were pretty!
We totally fed everyone well and were all impressive and independent and knew our way around and stuff. And there wasn't toooooo much contact between evil!housemates and visiting greenies (although Becca managed to side with them on everything cuz she's evil also :p) but they did get to meet Jing Jing who made us SUSHI. Which was amazing (she even made vegetarian stuff for me) and we (well, I) made her pancakes cuz pancakes mmmmmm. And we went out to Wagamamas and ate obsecene amounts of gorgeous food, but the amount of dancing and walking we did means that really, we needed to eat all of that to keep our energy up. Clearly. And the two lots of ice cream while we were wandering Bristol.
Ooh, and piesecki decided to run down a hill which was practially VERTICAL and so ended up upside down on her arse which was hilarious :D There was much childishness, and we also discovered that single beds? Not made for four people, seriously.
Now, to do my Maths with Maple coursework...

One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces - Ben Folds Five |

Am currently back in Bristol and BORED. Loadsa people aren't back yet, mostly tis just international students. Lalala. Jingjing brought me back a lovely scarf and some pens from Beijing though, so yaaaaay. She got back yesterday. Danh's been here for a few days so I have watched a ridiculous amount of Firefly with him. Well, actually, it's quite a sane amount of Firefly, I feel. We're gonna finish the series tonight, yay!
BORED.
Also too lazy to make dinner and there's no one in the kitchen and it'll be booooring. Yes. So am eating chocolate instead. Will go make dinner at 7 without fail, boringness or no. I want Udon noodles with sweet and sour sauce and chicken again but had that last night, HMMMMM. May have it again anyway.
Tis quite nice being in Bristol without having any lectures to go to. Of course, they start again Monday and then it'll all be bleurghy again and aaaaack I haven't done enough work, but I've been sleeping an almost reasonable amount at night, yay!
I have absolutely no news. I could go and unpack some of my other bags but I'm too bored to even do that. Silly like_a_rosie went to have dinner and Danh is working or something so no one is replying on MSN, booooooo.
