Next year, I may be blogging from my new home, a cardboard box

Hey guys~ Guess what? Finding a new home to live in, in your second year of Uni is FUCKING EFFORT.

Lucy and I have found a house we REALLY want. But to have this house we have to find a third person, because it is a three bedroomed house and the University won't give it to any group less than a three because of this.

We have had two people who have raised our hopes slightly for having this house, but (through no fault of their own) have had to gently turn us down. We need this house. Not only is it the cutest little house, (only five rooms in totall, a kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms) but it is VERY cheap for Oxford housing. A two person place can cost each person up to £210 a week, without all bills included. This would cost us £82 pp, only excluding internet bills.

This is Puggy, contemplating the strifes of this world.
Puggy is a metaphor for my feelings of worries
and insecurites.
But yeah, at least I've made a good friend out of this problem. One of the people who was thinking of joining us is called Alastair, a.k.a Prickman. Prickman is his nickname which Asya gave to him, it has stuck. However this has caused some troubles when it comes to remembering it;
Alastair: so, wanna take my number so we can keep in touch?
Me: HOKAY! *takes number* ...
Alastair: what's wrong?
Me: what's your name again? Prick...what?
Alastair + Lucy: *bursts out laughing while I look genuinly confused*
Alastair: ahh~ we're gonna get along!
Me:...?

OH! Billy brought me an early Valentine's cupcake! As my husband he felt it was his duty, it had a cute little heart plastic ring on top. It tasted weird though, so I felt I had to let the others know of course, in my usual manner...
Me: this tastes funny...
Billy: how so?
Me: it's crunchy on the outside...and gooey on the inside...a bit like eating Nick Clegg...
Billy, Lucy and Alastair: *burst out laughing*
So yeaaah...I think that's all that has been going on lately... OH! Billy, James, Lucy and I also watched the Japanese 70's film "House" the other day. It was hilarious, not only because it is from the 70's and so is not of the BEST quality when it comes to special effects...
  The front cover...



A piano eating a girl... "this is rather strange"
I hear you say. But oh, it gets better!


It's as trippy and psychadelic as any film could be
and still remain legal.


"AHAHAHAHAHAA!"


Hmm...giant lips...maybe I should stop taking acid now...


Nice legs...too bad you are being electrocuted
and will soon be hopping round as dismembered legs.


"Hello thar!"

So yeah, this film is just another excuse for Japanese people to see naked, scared school girls, the nakedness, I don't mind, it's rather nice since they are all pretty cute girls. However, the deaths and the crack-tastic-ness (yes this is a technical term I will have you know) is just an added treat to me. I actually really enjoyed it, it is a brilliant film to laugh over with friends.

And to top it off, THIS woman;

She looks like almost EXACTLY like our Japanese reading and writing teacher...

Except with white hair.

Me: Is it just me, or does she look like Suzuko-sensei?

Others: OMG YES!

Lucy: Except with white hair...omg...SHE'S SUZUKO THE WHITE! (You can tell we've been having LOTR's marathons...)

Us: *burst out laughing*

*later on in the film, suzuko rises from her wheelchair, after claiming earlier that she was bound to it, and the girls step back in shock*

Lucy: OMG SHE'S EXACTLY LIKE GANDALF!...OR SARUMAN!

Me: *man voice* I AM SARUMAN!

Lucy: *man voice* I have had a sex change!

Me: *trying not to laugh in her man voice* These silicon boobs are so heavy! How do you girls do it?!

So yeah... It was fun.


Ambrosio rates this film 9/10.

Adios!

Edit: Okay, so I have just been reminded that Prickman's nickname is actually "Prickston". Sorry Pricky! Except this just proves my point that I cannot remember anything after Prick...I HAS THE MOSTEST IMPORTANT BIT DOWN! : <

EXAM FAIL

Why hello there~

So yeah, you're probably wondering why I sound so cheerful when I have a title such as "exam fail"? This is because I just had a nap so I am hyper as usual...I was so gloomy earlier but I put this down to having had no sleep, I was running on coffee and I was awaiting the time in which I could meet my own messy fate. Asking me to think in Japanese at half nine in the morning is not a good way to get my best work out of me I have found. But oh well, the powers that be wanted me to enter Oxford University for the first time half awake, grumpy aswell as scared apparently.





I wish I had stress cake...


But anyway, the exam went as well as could be expected considering the conditions my body was being put under. When we came out a few friends and I went to a coffee shop where I had more caffine with no food, and guess what happened people? I had a panic attack. YAY! Fun times~ I was all tingly, shakey aaand I looked like I was drunk when I walked because I was really dizzy. Heres the maths for you,

No sleep + lots of caffine + lots of stress + 2 hour Japanese exam + no food = panic attack.

GRAH COMPUTER CRASHED. I hate it when it does that while I'm blogging and I have to re-write everything...mehneh.

So yeah - now the only thing stopping me from enjoying the new semester to it's fullest potential is my Japanese reading and writing homework. I am a naughty girl. I have left it really late - it is due tomorow...

Have I ever told you I am scared of caterpillars and sloths?

No?

Why the sudden topic jump, I hear you ask~ No reason really...

I was just thinking how lazy I am...and it made me think of lazy caterpillars and sloths - so I had to supress a shudder. I am freaked out by many things. But these two creatures scare me big time.

...

Okay I was going to put in pictures of sloths and caterpillars because I have a morbid curiosity for things that scare me. The sloths I could just about stomach - the caterpillars made me feel sick and I am sorry but I just couldn't do it...





 


HOW CAN PEOPLE THINK THESE FUCKERS ARE CUTE?!

*ahem* Sorry, went off on one there...
So yeah - I am the queen of procrastination. It's healthy to procrastinate sometimes. But if you do it to the level I procrastinate to - and soon you find yourself living like a hobo and drooling like an idiot as you stare incompetently at your incomplete work...

I'm going to see Russel Howard soooon~ Oh do I love me some Russell! Billy, Lucy, James and I will all be going together to watch him live in London~! Fun, fun fun! He's kind of sexy in a weird...geeky sort of way really. He reminds me a little of my character Jacques (I will put up another chapter of Dream Walker in my next post by the way) except he doesn't have a stupidly sweet tooth, as far as I know. 

I should stop procrastinating...

I should get my work done...

But...But...

Oh FINE! I WILL get it done then! FUCK YOU! That's right - I went there. I feel your dissaproving stare across the realm of teh internets...Iseewhatyoudidthar.

If I come back online to blog again...when you next see me hit me in the face with something heavy. I deserve this.


Ja nee~ xxxx



(Oh and I must apologise to Silje for spelling her name wrong...Norwegian confuses me.)
