I should be doing work! (Uni update part 2)

Posted 10-21-2009 at 09:38 AM by Wings of Fire
So, Freshers Week this year was fun. I got to dress up like a knight, stand in front of a stall and have pretty girls ask if they can touch my sword for two days. I'm generally getting better at swordfighting (Having the keenest member of the group as a flatmate helps) and I feel really good for it. I'm confident that with some work put in I could make knighthood next semester, or possibly next summer camp.

Also this year I joined the LGBT and the Japanese society, I got a bit sick for a few days over a combination of drinking too much and eating bad sushi (That I made myself) and I got far far too drunk at the first LGBT meeting. I remember being really really shy, talking to Dawn and Laura (My lesbian friends) who I met last year and noticing that vodka doubles only cost £1.00. Then it all went blank.

I am generally trying and making an effort to be more social this year, sharing a flat with people I actually like helps and so does actually having money I'm not spending on ridiculously overpriced train tickets to Aberdeen. I plan to visit the gym more often, make more friends and generally be less in-my-shell.

Now a little note about my brother, because I do like to bitch and gossip. He gets approximately the same amount of student loan as me (He lives at home, pays a fraction of my rent and gets free food) and has blown six hundred pounds of it (Out of this semesters loan) on Pagan trinkets and baubles -_- he has a divining rod, two decks of tarot cards, scented candles, crystals, lots of piercings, tatoos, jewellery, just urgh. It's not like I particularly mind what he wastes his money on, but I find it a bit offensive that I have to scrimp and save to afford a few luxuries a term and he blows all his money on useless shit. I dunno, it just kind of gets to me.

Also I had a crush on a really pretty guy who was in my psychology tutorial. It was very schoolgirlesque for a couple of weeks but now I'm getting over it ^-^ the fact I can actually have a crush again is a positive thing I think, and I hope it continues.

Also, ET is a really fucking stupid timezone, I mean come on OANST? Seriously?

PS: Wireless internet is crap.

You should perform some ancient spell on your brother that involves gross things like how it really was originally. Ever seen Haxan?

No, the worst thing is that he actually makes arguments to authority figures, citing Jung as some divine mystic sage who was never wrong. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Jung's work but it's not scientific and you can't make an argument out of it.

Also he told me that the tarot cards say I'm a greedy opportunistic fiend who only values material things. I hope he isn't at the stage yet where he values that interpretation more than years of evidence to the contrary.

Ha, the materalism bit at the end made me laugh after what you said about his own frivolous spending.

It's not my fault that you aren't special enough to live in the U.S.

Used and Kastere manage to be on at decent hours, screw your family's future and go unemployed.

Ah I joined the Danish-japanese friendship society as it's called... It's really fun, we get insight in traditions of Japan and they make yummy japanese food too.

Anyway it seems like things are okish now.. except with your bro <.< Maybe he'll use some of that pagan power to conjure up some money =D

Oh yes, he has Thor's Hammer on the back of his neck, I find tattoos quite repulsive >.>

fuck. your brother is really going to regret getting those tattoos and piercings in 10 years, in respect to it being related to Paganism.
