internets! sweet sweet internets.
in other news of how sarri fails at life, part 1345 - the reason why the internet wasn't working yesterday [and why i was flailing at Loki going 'WHY DON'T I HAVE A DEFAULT GATEWAY'] was because I put the wrong mac address in. 8B will never be B8, people.
also, Pico is getting a power supply. so soon, I'll have internet and a fast computer.
also also, I went and spent £42 on gig tickets. Athlete, Biffy Clyro and Hellogoodbye. so all in all, I'm a little spazzy right now. I also may have a spending addiction. although what the fuck, Straylight Run are touring. gah. someone please, tell me I don't want to go and buy tickets. I swear, I'm going to spend my entire student loan on gigs at this rate. I just find it really easy to spend my money.

mm, I'll get back to normal soon, I promise.

I've been spending a bit of time helping Sophie and Alan out at the freshers stall. it's kind of good, since we can go look around [and get free stuff] without queueing up to get in. the queue is always so long. and the society has been doing pretty well - we've had around 200 sign ups? which is a little scary.

lectures start on monday, fencing starts the week after. maybe I'll leave riding for a bit?

What's the most ridicolous thing you've ever brought?
Pete: Ryan Ross.

did I mention I love my fandom?

oh my god, I'm so fucking bored. yeah, I'm totally emofacing.

random points - when the lift gets to my floor, it tells me we're at the second basement. what.
- been watching many things. Lucky Number Slevin, Run Fatboy Run, Shaun of the Dead, and half of a Hornblower episode before I fell asleep on Katie's sofa. [in my defence, this was about 4am.] and also, Beck. because it's the only anime I have.
- uni seems to be okay. as in, like, 4 year course. no resits. huh.
- I've left my library cards at home. oops. no books for me.
- I'm stealing the unis internet. but I'm bored. :[
- seriously. BORED.
- I keep having moments of random nostalgia. since I have my old computer with me, I keep digging around my old files. like, old photos I took. me with my shitty blue hair. [oh god, the colour looked awful half faded.] I'm half temptd to put photos up to show how little I've changed.

in a bit, I'm gonna go buy some caffiene, and maybe go and clean my room. or go sleep.

eta: dear god, pictures of walls is the best website ever for cheering myself up.

my layout is smex.

I love having ridiculous nostalgia for tv shows. right now I'm watching The West Wing which is like, political drama with [in the first few series, afiak] a fair bit of comedy. Like 'I accidentally slept with a prostitute.' 'Did you trip?' ...Um, okay, I find it kind of hilarious.
and yeah, my love for the older seasons totally isn't biased by the fact my favourite character left in season 4.

somewhere along the line, I think I lost sight of where I'm going. and just this waiting for my results makes it even worse. because with each day, I lose a little more hope that I'll be able to stay on the masters. I mean, I know I'm clever - everyone always says so, but I never quite believe it - but clever doesn't mean passing exams. ugh. next year, I'm seriously taking a hiatus from lj in January and May.
I just don't want it to be too late. I don't like talking about the uni side of my life so much - I know I'm at a good uni on a good course, I just... I just hate it when people say 'I'm sure you'll do fine' because, um, I'm not that sure. if I have messed it up, if next year is my last year... then what does that mean? next year I'm out in the real world, unless I somehow manage to blag myself a first. which I know I'm capable of, just... don't believe it.
if someone says 'you're capable of so much more' one more time, I think I might cry.

...I should probably start breaking my addiction to the internet now, huh.

I'm having a hair cut tomorrow. fucking finally. it's been too long since forever now.

[did nobody tell you, i'm just a wretch for the boys with pretty faces. but it's not like i ever claimed to be any different.]

I'm totally in awe of this chewing gum. If you hadn't already figured, I have a cold, and it makes me complain about it. I'm also not sleeping very well. Possibly related. Whatever.
Airwaves chewing gum makes me feel so much better. ♥ Honestly. At least enough to help me hold out until I can go get some lemsip. Oh, and breakfast too. I forgot I only had breakfast yesterday. But I'm losing time, and my lecture is in an hour, but hey, I live so close.
I really hate being ill. XD

In other really sucky news, Data Networking is in for tomorrow. Damn you and your binary polynomials. Damn you path finding algorithms.
At least he finally put the notes online. [oh my god semagic, online is a real word, believe me on this plz.]

where is my pokemon? D: Come on, send it already.

Meme time!
Comment and I will:

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with a song/film.
3 - Tell a random fact about you.
4 - Tell a first memory about you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite userpic of yours [if it pertains].
8 - In retort, you must spread this disease in your journal.

[also, this icon has somehow become my default 'i feel shit' icon. weird.]

Okay, shopping for clothes sucks. I do have a pair of jeans that was a) cheap and b) fits perfectly, but... yeah.
Kick boxing time!

Gets - Primark jeans, that are actually gorgeous and have pockets and are not skinny jeans. As I already said, they fit nicely. I love baggy jeans. Although they are somewhat lacking with pockets - going from combat jeans with hundreds of pockets makes me sad.
Animal tops~ Okay, I'll admit it. I have an addiction to Animal tops. But there's a light green one [with a camper van on the front, I am so cool, not] and a black and pink one.
Jewellery! Brought some cheap lame earrings [which I may or may not be allergic to, but the pretty wins] and a shell necklace.
Make up, for I am a make up whore. Seriously. I have brought about three different eyeliners in the last few weeks. Why do I need blue eyeliner? Answers on a postcard.

Ugh, seriously, I am not wanting to go to uni! Plus the sunlight is kind of blinding.
I like procrastination, and I hate C.

I also kinda need to tidy up. Already.

I cannot wait until Pokemon. For serious.

"We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a 'WOW! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever!' So tell me what about me makes you envy me... then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you."

[okay, go on, who's going to the predictable thing and say 'your chest'?]

[edit: most useful hour in uni ever. I got halfway there and stopped to talk to one of my group members for an hour.]

Oh god. So I'm back in Manchester, getting everything clean, making plans to go to labs and work... And I've been sneezing more or less constantly since I woke up. Is it a cold? Is it my whacked out version of hayfever? [Last year, something similar happened, and the doctors was 'k, just take these pills, come back if they don't work.' I still have half of them at home.] But blackcurrant icelollies and coco pops cure all ills.

So hopefully I'll be feeling a bit better to drag myself around town - I have a worrying shortage of jeans. My River Island combats gave up the ghost over Easter - holes on the inside leg generally don't encourage me to wear them - and the cheaper jeans from Asda are going the same way. I have the black trousers, but I need jeans! Also, while capris are cool, my ankles will get cold.
Really, that's me trying to justify going shopping. I get my loan soon, so hey!

The String Quartet Tributes are awesome.

Why does nobody get back to Manchester until the weekend? Gragh. I feel all miserable and twitchy now, I want to do things. That aren't work. :/

Also, yesterday I woke up a load of scratches on my arm. I really don't know how that one happened.
