- Been tipped out of a chair you were comfortably reclining on in such a way that a bruised formed on your ass?
- Had your only controller stolen and placed in the ceiling tiles that are out of reach?
- Had sugar poured in your hair?
- Had cutlery (and a baking tray) thrown at you?
- Been locked out of your room multiple times whilst the culprits played games on your ps3?
Whilst all this sounds a bit abusive, this is the level we have reached here. After the first month, 'fresher's friendliness' wears off and we all learn each other's quirks and odd traits and annoying traits and, particularly relevant here, a love of pranking.
I have, unfortunately, turned into one of those god-awful people, haven't I? Each entry contains a sentence that goes along the lines of ooooh I'm being shit at blogging I'll blog more I promise!!! Then, the time that passes between each blog entry grows steadily larger and larger and the entries shorter... but I shall not let that happen and write quite a long one instead. Yay!
So, I've been at uni for over a month now. Almost two, as we're nearing December territor- okay fine, we're not, but less than two weeks. I am keeping track because yes, it is my birthday in December and I'll finally be able to buy 18 games without fear of being rejected. Which was, of course, obviously my main priority these last few years.
Updates are usual: the amount of essays I have to do is building up, but of course I have not done any of them. You see, I like to leave essays to the last minute because I find the adrenaline rush of panic exciting! What a great motivator! (Brilliant excuse for being incredibly lazy, right?)
I've worked a few - one - more shift and have one coming up this Saturday. Ventured to the gym as I felt my laziness was really pushing its limits. Turned my One-Screening Thursday into a No-Classes Thursday. Got a lot of practice and beat a lot of people at Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Played a fair bit of Skyrim, (but not really as much as I'd have liked, to be honest.)
Set up a cinema in Knightcote: the friendly community cinema in the common room, featuring either Toby's iMac or Joe's monitor, showing whichever movie people, (or me, because I provide the movies,) feel like. Screening classics such as the amazing and underrated How To Train Your Dragon, The Dark Knight & Jumanji, it's almost become a nightly screening..
Except tonight when it fell through and we ended up "watching*" Bridesmaids in my room. Bought more fairylights so my room is cuter and Christmas-y now check it out check it out:
*Watching = Half watching with Chris and Lucinda on our 'girly night in.' Hear some faffing around outside my door and go to answer it when someone violently locks. Find they tried the 'Tie two doors together so neither can get out,' trick. Realise they forgot whose room it was, (aka the girl with about 50 craft knives of varying sizes,) have my room broken into, my controller stolen, and had to embark on a wild goose chase to get it back. On a separate note, I'm currently not speaking to some of the people in my hall...
I'm not too sure why I have this picture on my phone. We were playing Game Of Life after we finished our Star Wars jigsaw, (I know - what raves we have here on Friday afternoons,) and um I won. I won at the Game of Life so i'm obviously going places.
The tradition of messing up people's doors - Joe got the contents of his kitchen cupboard taped to his, Sophie had a ton of alcohol bottles and photos put on hers - Rachel got an entire game of Monopoly to kindly welcome her back!
Now that I'm doing a kind of recap-summary, I'm not really too sure what I've been doing with my time. Wasting a lot of it, for sure, and spending far too much money, for sure, and being an immature idiot, for sure. Still don't know why I don't seem to manage to do any work in comparison to my coursemates who are panicking about essays now. Um, it's not the 24-hours-to-submission bracket now, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PANIC!
Pretty sure I took doodling to a whole new level in Theatre though. Casually sitting at the back drawing in charcoal. I like charcoal.
My very first charcoal drawing WOULD be a zombie.
Been doing some art I guess. Bits and pieces. Most of my artistic effort appears to be going into decorating and maintaining my room, which just makes me insanely happy. I'm even thinking about how my room is going to look next year which is actually a really funny story because I actually don't know where I'm living next year... got some ideas... probably taking up with Megan & Sarah because I'm not sure how good I'd be in a bigger house and I get a long like, ironically, a house on fire with those two. I've only been here 2 months and I'm already thinking how I'll miss my nutcase hallmates! Even the little things. Like tonight, for example. I'll forgive them eventually.
Signing off with a picture i did this afternoon. And tomorrow is No-Class Thursday and whilst the temptation to do absolutely nothing is very strong again, I'm thinking of maybe going to the gym and being all active and stuff?
And for a final summing up, here is a list of just random things:
- Jordan moved down to the East Side™ of the corridor. He and Sam now play the Cantina Band song on a loop simultaneously and it's all everyone has stuck in their head.
- The preferred and most efficient way of moving, we have deduced, is skipping. We see lots of skipping.
- Washing up is still the shittiest thing ever.
- People will always make assumptions if you've spent all evening lying in someone's bed with them and exit the room looking disheveled even if all you did was watch films.
- People are still very, very messy. No matter how many beds you make and rooms you assist in cleaning.
- I really, really like avocados now.
- The best way to get out of bed, is to set your phone half an hour earlier, hit snooze, then throw your phone/alarm across the room. Ta da! You've now been awoken and next time it rings, you'll have to go and physically get out of bed. It's cruel, but effective. P.S. Having a promising hot drink helps.
