Whee!

Monday night I went over to pandoras_evil_t's. It's her birthday on Friday. But, niether Anita nor I could manage to do her birthday thing on her birthday. So we learned how to play this game of the_chief_80's, Dirty Minds. Through some very... naughty descriptions, you have to guess what it actually is, usually something very innocent.

Anyway, yesterday we went mini-golfing. Shock of all shocks... I thought for sure I was sucking majorly. I thought I was making even Andrea look good. Although I did manage to score a hole in one. Anita got two. But at the end of it all (us girls a bit burned, oops), I was tallying up the scores...

Andrea: 83
Anita: 78
Damian: 74
Hana: 72

...

I can't believe I bloody won. I mean, I was usually scoring around 5 shots per hole. And in the beginning I was terrible. But apparently not that bad. Eh, bien. It was fun. We all had fun, and then we went to get the booze.

Ange bought a case of Tattoo, some Archer's, some mudshakes, a sparkling white, and a chardonnay. I got a six pack of B52 shots, some gin and tonic with lemon, and some vodka feijoa and apple. And we had a lovely evening of more Dirty Minds, and Scum, and this other card game, Morning Queen. It's the perfect game to play when drunk. It's hard enough to do sober, but drunk? Whoa.

You deal out all the cards between the players, and the aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards. You don't look at the cards you're given. The first person flips their card over. If it's a number, next person flips a card. If it's a jack, everyone has to say, "Hi, Jack." The last person to say it has to pick up all the cards in the pile and add it to their deck. If the card is a queen, everyone says, "Morning, Queen." Again, last person gets the cards. Not a good thing. If it's a king, everyone salutes. This one's the bitch. You end up whacking your forehead so many times. And if it's an ace, everyone slaps their hand on the pile. You don't want to be slow with these things. Or screw up which you say. For whatever reason, I was really good at getting out.

We watched some TV, before Anita and then Damian buggered off. Andrea got so much more toasted then I did. I was feeling really good though. We watched the Secret Garden. And then we watched Fern Gully. I did not know Christian Slater did the voice of Pips in that movie. (The boy fairy chasing after Chrysta, for those who don't remember) There were some cartoons on the tape after Fern Gully, so we watched this weird little cartoon, Animaniacs, and Batman. Then we went to bed.

Oh, and cards... new variation to Scum: Joker trumps all. Doesn't matter if it's singles, pairs, triples, or a quad, one Joker overrules everything. And you can't play the other Joker on it either, and steal the trump.

I finally came home around noon-ish, to find Iain at his computer. He was just starting to watch the first episode of Stargate Atlantis. He's got both seasons on the comp. When he told me that, I told him I love him. I missed an episode or two though, 'cause I got bored and took a walk. Lovely thing, it had been muggy all day, and kind of overcast. It wasn't 'til I was out walking, exactly halfway through my established walk route, when it started bucketing down. Thing was, though I got soaked through, I felt soooooo good for it. It was a relief.

Dad tried talking to us earlier about something. Iain finally snapped and pointed out we were watching a tv show here, can it wait? It could. I can't even remember what he was trying to talk to us about.

In a conversation with diea:

Me: I find it amusing how many times people forget the _ in front of my name. Not that you did. It's just it happened in some icon crediting by dragonrider7 recently, and in an entry today by cynicalpirate
diea: and in my user info which you pointed out a little while ago
diea: why did you include the underscore?
Me: because I had a feeling that if I didn't, lj would say "BITCH, that name's taken already!" And, would you know? I was right.
diea: really? there's another Xanthia running around? wierd
Me: of course, whoever this chick is, she hasn't updated in two years or three years, but whatever
Me: uh-huh. There's also www.myspace.com/xanthia as opposed to me, www.myspace.com/_xanthia Although I did get to have xanthia without the _ over at photobucket.
diea: at least you win at something. I always thought that it was because you wanted your name to be at the beginning of lists instead of the end.
diea: it was the only reason I could think of.
Me: hahahaha, no. Although that is a good reason.

Interview Questions from simple__man:

1. What's your favorite JTHM moment? Ooooh. *has to think really hard* It's been aaaaages since I've read JTHM, and I haven't read all of them... but... I think, the first time he met Squee.

2. Favorite HP pairing, and why? Oh, this one, Remus/Sirius hands down. It's what got me into the fandom, actually. See, for a long time I resisted Harry Potter, but finally I caved and read all the books. And then, about six months later, I got it into my head that maybe those weird slashers were right, and Remus and Sirius were made for each other (until he died, and then Severus helped Remus move on). Then I went searching for fic.

But really, besides the huge ass amount of subtext that they were More Than Friends and Certainly Not Brothers, they work so well together. Remus has totally got Sirius whipped, and acts as a sort of balance by being the Calm One while Sirius is the Wild One. And Sirius, I think, helps Remus loosen up a little and have fun.

3. Movie that never fails to scare the absolute shit out of you. Ummm. I don't really watch many scary movies, mostly because I find I can't suspend my disbelief for the stupid thing the characters do. And, I mean, I don't really scare too easily, at least, not scared shitless at any rate. Hmmm. Exorcist: The Beginning was pretty freaky. But, really... I reckon Signs freaks me out the worst though. Particularly if I watch it at night, out in the country or somewhere where I can hear the trees rustling in the wind. I remember the first time I saw that movie, I had to take the trash out, which meant walking across the dark yard, where, zomg, they could come out and kill me at any moment.

4. What was your first memory? My first memory is from when I was around 18 months old or so. My mum had to hang out the laundry, and being my typical clingy self, I wanted her to carry me. Of course, she couldn't carry me and hang up the laundry, so she had to put me down. She thought I might like it if she put me in the laundry basket, that I'd have fun standing there while she did what she had to do. I distinctly remember thinking, "I don't want to be here. If I cry, I'll be picked up." And so, I started to cry.

5. What sports do you like to watch, and have you ever played any sports. The only sport I really like to watch is netball (If you don't know what it is, click the link under 'About Netball' for details). I've tried watching rugby, but I often get distracted. And no other sport really interests me enough to watch it all the way through. I've played a little bit of rugby, but not nearly as much as I wish I did. For a while there I did play netball--it was totally random that I decided to play this all-girls sport that I had NO idea how to play. I did okay anyway.

(I googled to find a good definition of netball, 'cause I was pretty sure simple__man would have no idea what I was talking about. Zomg I could kill the Wikipedia definition. It's absolute shite. 'Cause, I mean, yeah, it's got similarities to basketball (and used to be called that until basketball became an international sport), but at the same time it's quite different. I prefer it. Whenever I played basketball in PE I always had the hardest time remembering I could run and dribble the ball, not stop and immediately pass.

...haha, the reminds me how one time we were playing basketball, and I got the ball and had to run to the opposite end of the court. Of course I was being chased as I dribbled the ball. I don't know what got into me but I couldn't even have been to the 3 pt line, when, worried they were going to steal the ball off me, I stopped and made the shot--and got it. My teammates loved me for that.

My aim is pretty shite most of the time though. It took a LOT of practicing to get my body to figure out just how to throw the ball so it got in the hoop. I'm pretty sure that shot was a fluke, lol. It's why, with Netball, I'm better as Goal Defend than Goal Attack. I get the mobility of two thirds of the court, without having to take shots--just intercept them and get the ball to the other end of the court.)

In other news, I wanted Liz to straighten my hair today, but she wasn't feeling up to it and I'm not confident enough to try it on my own yet. Instead I watched Revenge of the Sith with her and Anthony... and ate a lot of her chocolate. But oooooh, I love Samuel L. Jackson and Ewan McGregor. And I had such a hard time not laughing at slashy moments. Hehe.
Dad sent a text at quarter to five saying he was running late--hadn't even left Hamilton in fact. Bloody hell. He's going to be here v. late. He said something about how he hoped it wasn't too rainy... I'm oviously not up to date on how weather is around the rest of the country 'cause it was very nice here today.
I don't think Chunky is interested in me. Damn, damn, and bloody hell. Stupid boys!
I got quite the shock this afternoon though. There's several American guys who are students here, and they're in the comp labs a lot. There's one of them I've sorta had my eye on in a casual way, even if he'll wear his hat backwards (I rather hate that.). Well, when I got here earlier today he wasn't wearing his hat. Oh. My. God. The guy can't be more than 20 or so. Already going bald. Horribly so. No fucking wonder he's always wearing a hat. It sucks, 'cause he's got such a round head he'd look like ball if he just shaved off his hair. *snerk* He has playboy bunny pajama pants. They're v. cute.
After reading metaquotes, I want a sharpie and some white-out, to draw top hats and iPods on all manner of crossing signs. *grins* Link. Browsing through metaquotes also sent me on a bit of an icon gacking spaz. Saw several I really liked. Now safely tucked away, with credit.

Edit: I fucking suck at code today.

I love going out. Even when I have no money, I love going out with the girls. I think my first amusement for the night was as I was heading to the bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth, and do my make-up. I was already dressed up, and Annalise asked me was I not going out? "Yeah, I am." I think she just focused on the toothbrush and washcloth, I think, so I got sarcastic and flicked a leg out and replied, "Oh, yeah, I love to sleep in my fishnets!"
Annalise was nice and generous, and gave me a Woodstock bourbon & coke... and then ended up giving me most of hers, because Woody's just doesn't go down well after a Jim Beam and coke. Then, Sarah G gave Victoria, Annalise and me a ride to scarfies. Kate and Kirsti had buggered off with Isaac to some party, and we were going to meet up with them in town later or something. But when we got to town... Scarfies was dead. Deadder than dead. There was no one there. BUT we still went in 'cause it's cheap piss.
After Liz showed up--she'd been at a band practice--we played a game of pool, in which Liz and I won--or rather, Liz kicked their asses 'cause I didn't sink a single ball. Pathetic, I know. But I've gotta be in this right state of notsobernotdrunk 'cause too far either way and I'm uncoordinated or my aim is shite. Then Victoria kicked Annalise's ass in another game.
Haha, we were sitting outside as the three of them had a smoke, and reminiscing about Thursday. We were laughing so hard after I reminded them of the crazy thing Lisita said. At one point, we were either guessing that James would be stoned, or Liz said something about wanting to get stoned. Well, Lisita turnted to Victoria and asked all eagerly, "Do you know where I can get some stone?" Gods we almost died laughing. She had to pause and think about what she said wrong before she could coherently ask where she could get some weed.
We went back inside, and all had a quick fuck. Ahem. That's a shot of bailey's and lime. I'm not a big fan of bailey's, but that was vair, vair nice. And then we all had a sunrise--vodka, orange and rasberry. I had fun skulling that before we hit up the dance floor. Although, Liz ended up ditching us and running off with Anthony, to our disgust. She deserves better! She just wanted sex. Like her vibrator's not good enough. But vibrators are so good!
Because Annalise and Victoria were dancing almost exclusively with each other, the guys were too scared to approach them. Didn't stop a couple of them from dancing up to me though. I keep thinking of that routine by Dane Cook when it happened. One of the guys was getting way too touchy feely and creepy. I was glad to get away from him. *shudders* For some reason he gave his number to Victoria if any of us felt like texting him. Mmmno.
I learned Victoria's nickname is Dills which stands for "Do I look like shit?" As every time we go out she asks it fifty billion times. Whereas Annalise's nickname is Retard. I don't know why, but Sarah G's is Caber. Kate gets called Tazzy--that confuses the hell out of me because the one and only Taz is Justin Murray. I don't have a nickname from them. I'm just Hana. *pouts*
We were sitting outside again later as Victoria and Annalise had a smoke, when they decided they wanted another drink, but didn't have anymore money. So, there was this guy sitting at the pokie machine and they asked him if he had $2 they could have. He gave us all some money, nice bloke, and then who did we find playing a couple machines down, but one of the Wally D boys, Chunky (what his actual name is, I cannot remember. Everyone calls him Chunky. He went to the Resident's ball in a flower-printed dress, straw hat, and workboots). His friend Tom and some of the other guys were there as well. I was admiring Chunky's oh so snazzy too small for him wool jacket, when he let me start losing his money for him.
Although... I had better luck that him at some points. Particularly with betting if a card flipped over would be black or red ace. Was winning for a while, and then went and lost all of it. He didn't mind, though, since he'd been planning to lose it all anyway. But he was going to buy me a shot of tequila, but under this new management they stopped selling drinks at like, one. Ah well. Hung around talking to Chunky while his mates played a game of pool and Annalise and Victoria went outside to smoke again. They kept waving at us through the windows and then Victoria gave us a v. rude gesture.
Finally we all left, and the boys went one way, and us another--but not without Chunky and I exchanging numbers. (Sidenote: Why is it that three of the four guys I've exhanged numbers with are 027's? Is it that most guys prefer Telecom, or just most guys who I end up chatting up prefer Telecom?) Funnily enough, we ran into them again at Subway. We'd stopped outside 'cause there was this very drunk girl and we wanted to make sure she was all right and stuff, and saw them inside. Then, Annalise got hungry so she had to get some food herself. We also so Isaac, who was so, so drunk and just about passed out at his table while Brad ate.
Things got a bit confused for a while, as Tom went after the drunk girl and her drunk mate, to make sure they had a way home or anything. Isaac wandered off... somewhere, I think to take a piss 'cause I finally spotted him in this corner between a dumpster and building. We stood outside the Gull service station and Annalise tried to get ahold of Sarah to pick us up. And Kate and Kirsti joined us. Oh my god Isaac had us laughing so hard once he returned from the shadowy corner. He was talking to Annalise, but it was all just random syllables and weird hand gestures over his face. It was just... I don't know if it was intentional or he was really trying to say something and just couldn't formulate proper words.
Heh, we saw Adrian's friend Ricky, and Annalise and I stopped to perve. He's pretty hot. Adrian is cute, but Ricky is hot. It's a pity he already has a girlfriend. Eh bien, can't have everyone. Also, Brad totally ignored Victoria when she tried to tell him where Tom and Isaac had gone. She doesn't know if he was in a snit with her, or just in a snit in general. Not that she's done anything worthy of getting in a snit with her. But with guys, who knows?
We crammed six people in Sarah's car. Seven if you include her. But yeah, five of us in the back seat. Had to wait for this one cop to disappear before we could all cram in so we didn't get in trouble. Kate and Kirsti were sitting in the footwells. And the music was blaring loudly. But then Isaac, Kate, and Kirsti got out before the first speed bump so Sarah's car didn't scrape it. She was going to race the girls back to the hall, but Isaac walked slow down the middle of the road on purpose so the girls could get ahead. He started running and skipping around too.
So, at two-something at the morning, upon returning, I had to have something to eat and I cooked up some leftovers from friday. Fish and chips, yum. In bed at 3 am. Did I have fucked up dreams again? I can't remember. I think I did. But, heh, I woke up at about 10 this morning... and decided after a little walk to come online.
shiseiji: You're on early/late
me: it's quarter after 11 on Sunday morning
shiseiji: oh.. fine :P

Ha, my dreams last night confused the hell outta me. I don't know if it's just me, but it's seemed really warm at night and stuff. For once. I don't even have my little heater on. The wall heater, yes, but still. My windows were all open most of the day yesterday and before that 'cause it was so lovely and sunny outside. Plus my room gets stuffy in the afternoon sun. Didn't have that option today though. A bunch of clouds swept in and it's been raining off and on all day. But it's like... not depressing me.
Still want to hurt Liz's ex for being a twat. And every time I think about her ex troubles, I think about Peter and get mad all over again. Blegh.
But I went into town with Liz and Anj, though I didn't do any shopping myself. Liz got a Hendrix CD, and then we had an early sort of meal (mmm, buttered chicken), and then when we went outside so Liz could have a smoke, she borrowed this guy's guitar and played a couple songs. After that we had a look in this one chocolate shop, another music store, before heading off to Pak'n'Save. Anj decided to leave her grocery shopping 'til after her church thing, but she did get the things for Little Sarah and Primrose, which Liz and I took back with us.
Of course I wasn't hungry for dinner then, still full on the buttered chicken and all that. But I grabbed a plate anyway in case I get hungry later.
It was nice going into town. I haven't gone into town with anyone here since Came left. Wait... maybe once with Shan. But, eh, not really done that. When I go, I usually go alone. It was quite nice to go with other people. And talk about this and that. Plus it was funny as hell on the busride back and such 'cause the chocolate cake Liz had set her off into a hyper mood.
There's some School Uniform party tonight. It's kinda sucky for me, since KSS never had a uniform. My HGHS stuff from eons ago found itself a nice home long, long ago. Although... I could probably make a somewhat convincing naughty girl-ish one out of my black knee high socks, black pleated skirt, and white blouse. But I don't really feel like going. It's not the nicest weather to be going out in. I haven't even been out on the town in two or three weeks.
I wonder if Adrian will decide to randomly txt me again. Don't know why he bothers.

Fin.

My body is so accostomed to being up this late/early on Thursday nights. Even though I didn't go out. Still wide awake. My body remembers. Like clockwork.

Speaking of clockwork, I found a watch by one of the computers today. Because I've been lazy and not got a new battery for the watch I do have, well, now I've got a new (old) watch. Even though I've spent months without a watch on, my wrist no longer feels naked. I didn't like my old watch anyway, because it was actually mum's, and too big for my wrist. This one fits snuggly.

I want to snuggle.

I don't know what the hell is up with Adrian. Why is it fine for him to text me now?

Fin.

Also, I don't think the girls in my hall appreciated the quote on my userinfo about cute boys, 'cause it didn't stay long on the whiteboard. (I don't think they knew it was me that wrote it, either) Sad.

And Liz found, not her comic version of HHGTTG, but the book. She also has the next two in the trilogy. Kind of weird for me, since I've already read the fourth and fifth books without having read the first three. But still. More reading material, as if I don't have tons of books from the library for my more recreational reading.

It's pissing down with rain. Has been all day. Made for v. exciting times when I went to change my sheets. Liz, Sarah G and I were running and shoving the clean sheets in our jackets to keep them dry. But it's just non-stop piddling with intervals of drizzle and the occasional bout of heavy pissing. So, so lovely. Good thing today's my free day and I can spend it all inside. Well, when I'm not rushing to and fro the laundry facility to get nice clean, crispy white sheets.

I always want to write Saragh instead of Sarah G. I only include the G for differentiation's sake. As opposed to Little Sarah. Or diea. I call her Sorcha more nowadays anyway.

Of all the typos I make, though, the one I'm most fond of is 'enver' when I mean to write 'never.' Don't know quite why.

Holy mother of fuck! Yes, I play Hexic FAR too much. I know. Shut up.
Mmm, speaking of fucking, Vanessa found me today to say Konrad would love to go on a date with me, if I'm interested. I have to think about this. Do I really want to work with the bad kisser? And teach him how to kiss better? I don't know. I'm worried he's going to get all devoted on me.
Also in the world of relationships, I caught Lynds on MSN today, for once in ages. But she's rather depressed as she's recently broke up with her boy. So, I'm going to email her soon. Let her know how my life's been and all that, express my sympathy some more. Liz's boyfriend broke up with her recently, too, which makes me sad to hear of two rather long-lasting relationships end around the same time. Although Liz apparently has a chance at getting back with Anthony. I don't know the details of Lyndsay's break-up.
Mum was rather upset today, too. One of our cats, the black one, The Princess, has gone missing. Has been for several days. Thing was, they've seen a coyote around the area. And then my cat, Sam, also disappeared. Mum thought for sure, of all the cats, the one most likely to lose to a predator would be Marbles, who appears to only be confused and a little more vocal than usual. Thankfully, Sam came home. So there's only Mama Cat missing. This is still rather sad, but not nearly so bad as losing two cats within one week.

I'm rereading a book I haven't read in four of five years, and struggling. It gets awfully intense and somewhat depressing. There are some books I can read, and promptly reread them, no worries. And then there are some books I read and I can't pick them up for years after, until most of the memories and feelings evoked from the book have faded away. I've become very accustomed to the books I read having at least SOME comic moments.
I didn't keep Matt up 'til nearly five in the morning role-playing like we did the first time. But we did role-play some more last night. Funny that when it was really time I ought to be in bed, we ended the first session with the characters going to sleep. When I had to leave for dinner yesterday, we paused just as Andra was sitting down to breakfast. But then last night when Matt had to go, we just cut off while Andra and Daryn were talking before their dinner. I'm expecting she's going to have to smooth things over once the innkeeper's sons notice she's in the company of some other guy, who just might be competition. *smirks* That's what I get for playing a Domani.
After Matt left I went back to my hall and had a moment of indecision. Did I want to stay in, and watch Hidalgo--forgetting I'd miss the first hour as Kate took over the TV to watch bloody McLeod's Daughters. Meh. Anyway, it was that, or maybe go out on the town despite the fact I wouldn't be buying any drinks. But in the end I decided to go out, and it was pretty cool. The Scarfies guy wasn't at the bus stop when the first bus got there though, so no freebie drink for me, alas.
I headed straight to Scarfies anyway, because at the very least I needed to ask Brad if he'd made copies of the CD with the body painting pictures yet. Turned out he hadn't, but next week maybe I'll be able to acquire a CD of body painting pics, as well as wet t-shirt pics. (Oh god.) Talked with some girl, no idea who she was. Chatted with Liesa. Caught up with Adrian's friend Joel, who didn't know I'd been ditched. I ended up hanging out with him a lot last night.
Had some random Asian guy buy me drinks and ask me to dance and to play pool. I lost. And then I lost him. (hee!) Scored a drink off of Joel as well, which, when I thought about paying him back, realised I didn't need to. Way back at the foam party, when I spent my last $50 bar tab, I bought him a beer, so it cancelled out. And then eventually I ended up on the dancefloor with Sarah G, Annalise, and Victoria. I think we made some guys vair happy when we engaged in some rather sapphic moves. Even if we were mostly doing it so they would stop trying to dance with us.
It was funny when we all left, Kirsty and Kate having joined us somewhere along the way, because Annalise is hilarious when she's drunk. Kirsty was pretty pissed too, more fun for us less drunk types. Sarah got v. confused at one point, because I'd given Annalise my jacket to keep warm, and Sarah hadn't noticed & wondered where the hell she'd nicked it from. We were going to go to Highflyer's for the half hour we had until the last bus came, but realised we'd never get Annalise in, and Kirsty was a doubtful one too.
And Annalise puked while we waited for the bus. She puked again when we got back to the school and got off the bus. She got some of it on my jacket that time, although I didn't realise until, as Victoria and I supported her, Victoria's hand ended up on that part of the sleeve much to her disgust. Had this HUGE sense of deja vu as Victoria and I walked Annalise up the stairs--and then realised it was because of the time, way back when I first got with Peter, that Kirsty and I carried her up those stairs after she'd puked on the bus coming back. (Worse than that, that time we'd had to walk Annalise all the way back from the main terminal because the bus hadn't stopped for the Moginie Villagers)
I had to laugh when, just as we'd reached the top of the stairs and were walking to our hall, I suddenly felt Annalise's mouth on my shoulder--she'd wiped her mouth on my shirt! Of course, I went "ewwww" first, which caused Victoria to panic and bolt since she thought Annalise was going to puke again. But I laughed, because Annalise was just so completely out of it.
And she's totally jealous of me today because while she woke up wanting to die for the headache like I wouldn't believe--I've never ever had a hangover. She swore at me for that.

Edit: I totally forgot to mention: naturally, just about ran into Adrian last night. When I say just about, I mean that I saw him, & he could not have missed me, yet not a single comment was exchanged nor eye contact made. Joel and I were laughing, because Adrian was clearly refusing to acknowledge my presence liek whoa. Funniest was when Adrian put his empty glass on the bar and had to reach between Joel and me to do so. I have never been so ignored in my life! I bet he knew Joel and I were laughing so hard because of him, too. He didn't end up staying very long, unlike his mates.

( On crying )

Last night was the Resident's Ball. Was rather looking forward to it, along with every other girl in the hall. I mean, I had a dress already, and hell, I managed to score a date! And it was going to be great. It was amusing as hell, sitting around watching the girls get ready. Kate and Kirsti did the hair styling for most the girls. And Victoria was doing make-up for people. And the girls were being girly and vastly amusing a moi. It took maybe ten minutes for me to get ready.
Mostly I had a good night. But I could have kicked Adrian if only I'd been more angry. I felt so mellow and unaffected, but still hurt. And had a fun time despite it.
We all headed down to the bus stop--I hadn't heard from Adrian so I figured I would see him there at the v. least--to catch the first bus at 7. And we get to the Awapuni Raceway, and get through with all the coat checks, pictures, bathroom runs, and have drinks and our chairs set up for a good view to watch the rugby. Yes, the first 80 minutes most everyone was sitting or standing around focused on the TV for the game. Which, yay, the All Blacks won.
But I got ditched by Adrian. Something about how he found out a couple days ago that he got into the navy and would be leaving in a few weeks. Because, y'know, it's impossible to just have a good time together until then or something. And he just wanted to have a few drinks with his mates. I couldn't even find it in myself to get angry. Had a moment of weakness when he left me to my own devices and a bout of involuntary tears decided to have fun. Gah. Took a bit, but once I got past the worst of it I went off to find the girls again and have a good night with them.
And I did have a good time anyway. Even went into town for a couple of hours with Shan at about 12:30ish. These girls in the line to Highflyers bought me a rose from this lady selling them after they heard how I got ditched. And Shan bought me one as well. So I've got two roses in a mug of water in my room. They're a bit beat up, having been in my possession as I danced in Highflyers and in this other place where Shan's friends had been. One of those friends, Shan and I went off to Subway, missed the 2:30 bus, and ended up catching a taxi home... just barely beating Annalise, Victoria, Kate and Sarah coming back from town as well.

And now, on to more interesting memes!

I've been so tired today. I was talking to mum and I kept making typos or missing words entirely. I was thinking complete sentences, but they weren't being typed as such. She's sent me a parcel (containing pretty lingerie, yay!) that will arrive soon hopefully.
In a discussion in support_hp about finding people reminding you of a particular character, and I mentioned this: "There's also this Asian kid, who has spiky black hair and glasses, that gives me James vibes. The only thing I hate is one time I was sitting next to him in the computer lab, and he continuously jiggled his leg, and the sound of his pants rubbing was really annoying." which gave simple__man this bunny: "There's a fic in that, the annoyance of James' pants rubbing driving Remus to DISTRACTION in the library..."
And now I want to write it.

Fin.
