apollaWell, the great ship chat was well, great. Had lots of fun although it was my first actual all nighter in a while. Will have lots of them next term- just found out how much work (including my dissertation) i'll have next term. Why the bloody hell didn't they spread some of the work out into this term? I've only had one stupid essay this term. Next term I have two for each class. Gits.
I've been watching the UK Snooker championships on BBC 2 and I've come to the conclusion that I'm bad luck for those i'm rooting for. When I finally got to see the World Series on TV last year, my beloved Yankees lost. The games they won were ones I didn't get to see. Tottenham Hotspur lose every game I catch (although we're not that great to be fair) except for today when we won 2-1 against... West Brom. Not exactly Man U, are they? And then the few frames of Ronnie O'Sullivan's snooker game against a bloke called Gunnell that I saw he did pretty poorly. I mean, poorly for Ronnie the Rocket, the most naturally gifted snooker player in a good long while. Even if he is from Essex.... I'm beginning to yammer now.
I FINALLY came up with a ficlet this evening after ages of being able to write absolutely nitto. I hate writer's block. It wasn't even writer's block but more like coming up with really terrible ideas and being able to do nitto with them. Nitto. I love that word!
My best friend is coming to Lancaster to visit on Thursday! Hurrah! Haven't seen him since August because the lucky git ended up going to Morocco AND Aiya Napa. Jammy git. Of course, I'm going home on Friday so it'll be a short visit (he has other friends up here fortunately) until we're both back at home and then hurrah! *bounces excitedly*.
Stay lucky!
