today

Today I need to do some set reading, and tidy my clothes away, and wash some of my dishes. Everyone in my house seems to have been abducted. Two are at away at home, and the rest are either hiding or have disappeared somewhere.
Me and one of my housemates are having this silent war. His laptop is old and doesn't have a wireless connection built in, so he plugs his computer directly into the router so he can connect. But he downloads alot of film and tv (all of which is really terrible stuff like two and a half men, and action movies, so it isn't even like I enjoy the end product), so it uses up sooo much of the bandwidth. So often if I want to do something that requires fast internet (not even fast, just not stoneaged slow) I will often unplug the cable from the router (it's right outside my door in the hallway) and then the internet will be instantly, magically inproved. It's so annoying that our internet is actually quite fast, but his stupid downloads mess with it so much. Anyway, so once I've unplugged it, he usually comes out and plugs it in again. The trick is to unplug it, but not let it drop to the floor. It has to look like it's plugged in, but not establish a connection. Otherwise he realises faster.
Neither of us have ever spoken about this war that we are waging, which I think is pretty funny. I am not going to let him win though. It's not fair.
Yesterday I went to the doctor (again). The first time I went, a few months ago, it snowed, and was beautiful. It wasn't quite as terrifying this time, because this isn't my doctor at home, so I'd never met him before. But it still involved telling him all the stupid stuff that's happened, and what I think and do and stuff. And it still concluded with the same thing: you're depressed, you need counselling.
Which is something I really don't need to hear, really. This guy seemed better about it though. He was more sort of... used to dealing with it maybe. Asked more questions and seemed to know more what he was on about. He said if I don't call the student counsellors on Monday he'll know, because he's going to check. Which is a little worrying, perhaps. But it's nice that he'd take the time, I suppose.
On another note, in response to disneykid1's post about his best friend application - I want to be your best friend! But I don't live in Philadelphia :( Actually I'm pretty glad I don't because it sounds scary, but I would very much like to be friends with you (like the rest of youtube...)
I suppose I'l post after Monday about how the weekend has been, and what happened with the counselling appointment. Hmmmm. Lots to do and think about..

With hindsight, the vodka jelly was an error in judgement.

did i?

Did I just fuse the whole kitchen which means the fridges and freezer will defrost overnight while everyone lies asleep in their beds?
Or did it just happen to occur while I was there?
Also, if either of the two possibilities are true, then is ignoring it and feigning ignorance the wrong thing to do?

coolest trousers ever?

I'm doing more yoga again and obviously it's an excuse to buy new clothes. I found these when I typed yoga into ebay. They're called 'thai fisherman trousers' which I thought was brilliant. I can't wait for them to arrive. Cool stuff + post = good start to the day.

We still don't have a house but we're hoping that the fit man will let us have the house we really really want.
My friend is really depressed and I don't know what to do.
Another friend has just moved in with us (the seven who lived here previously), and now I'm not sure how much I like her anymore.
I have a t-shirt for Carnage.
It's cold as fuck, and because I'm at the coast as I type, there isn't even any snow to show for it, so we're all suffering for nothing.
Today I was pleased because I found a really good article to give to my project supervisor. And I had a language lecture that I really love.
I'm listening to Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion and it's amazing. But I shouldn't have expected anything less. I still have a new Sigur Rós album to listen to, and something by someone I've never heard of but am excited about.
I bought them the other day, along with a new dress, new earrings shaped like stars, pink nail varnish, some Paul Smith perfume, a clutch bag, a bra. The clutch and bra were both in the sale which was nice. And the perfume is really pretty.
I'm not sure why I read some of the blogs that I do, because I really hate some of the people who write them. Or at least, I hate what they write.
I can't quite believe how fast the internet is being; the post office is obviously feeling very generous this evening.
I really love disneykid1. He's a proper cutie. Bless :)
I completely effing love Pass that Dutch by Missy Elliott. Proper tune.

Ok, so I'm editing this now. Because I want to write more. Also, it didn't really go anywhere.
I have a bruise on my back, and a cut in the middle of the bruise, because I fell on to a telephone socket when my housemate was trying to wrestle me.
I feel a bit shit, because yesterday I felt horrible and ended up cutting the top of my arm. It's not a big deal, it's just a bit stupid really. I might do some yoga soon. But it's very cold. And even though it would warm me up, it makes me reluctant to leave the duvet.
Oh. Every time I come back to this open window, I feel more and more terrible. So I'll have to levae it here before my computer becomes terminally depressed.

here and there

We've been looking at houses for next year. It's a bit stressful but also it's a little bit exciting.
I'm sat in my bed talking to a friend and watching gossip girl on itv catchup. I really love gossip girl. Even though the idea that there's some strange spy giving everyone text updates on the gossip of New York is really weird and also not really explained. I am completely in love with Chuck Bass. And I also think Blair is completely fantastic. I think the guy who plays Chuck was in Vanilla Sky paying this little autistic kid or something.
Whenever I go out at the minute, I always end up leaving early. I'm not sure what it is. Because I really do love going out dancing. I love everything about it; getting dressed up, dancing around, seeing all my friends, getting ratted (or not, whatever). It's such good fun. But recently I always get this strange feeling, like I can't stand everyone being around me. It's like I'm in a bubble and everyone's trying to annoy me. And nothing helps, and I can't get into the mood. And all I want to do is run away.
So that's what I do lately. I just end up going home without telling anyone. It's usually fine, but last night I hadn't taken keys, so I had to sit on the step being hassled by drunks across the road. It was gross. Although still miles better than staying in the club.
My macbook's fixed now. Go Apple.
I'm getting a tattoo on Saturday morning.
I think I'm going to eat some birthday cake.

that man....

Oh my. He really is most impressive. I have a little bit of a crush on the new Mr President. And I completely love Michelle as the new Jackie O. Oh oh oh :) Today has made me so so happy. I made a snowman, and watched history. I even loved it when he fluffed his inauguration declaration. Because that man has style. Style and finesse. Style and finesse and sex appeal. What a man.
I texted my friend at 5:35pm (GMT) and said 'well, 35 minutes and no assassination. What's another eight years?' and he replied with, 'Joe Biden, 45th President of the United States'. :( let's hope not, hey? Fingers crossed they have their security down.

While typing united states, I typed Untied. Think that captures it quite brilliantly at the moment. But never mind, because Barack is in charge now, and he's proper cool innit like.
Happy :)
