clo_againOn the plus side, I have Jack Daniels fudge. Downside, I finally updated Media Player and it crashed my computer. Twice. Which I have to say, is bloody irritating.
HOWEVER. Aside from that and my sudden lack of ability to make any icons worthy of the title, I did get Robin Hood tonight (the first time in a couple of weeks I've actually got to watch it on Saturday), plus spag bol, plus I've sat around all day re-reading an old favourite book so it isn't exactly as if I have anything to complain about. The flat's unnaturally quiet withall sorry, two of the freshers and one of the third years (random: I found out the other day that her last name is Tam and had a total Firefly-geekery-squee moment), so that's nice. Amusingly Obsessive Religious Fresher is still here 'til Tuesday (she's coming back on January 1st too, which is vaguely baffling given that most freshers give their left arms to go home and stay there). She was wearing the CU (Christian Union) hoodie she lives in when Dad was here to pick up my stuff and I could see him boggling when she came into the kitchen while we were there. I have to admit, it's more than a little disconcerting to have someone's clothes asking you "SO WHO'S DIED FOR YOU TODAY HUH? HUH?!! NOBODY, THAT'S WHO, BECAUSE THEY ALL SUCKETH IN COMPARISON TO OUR GUY! HAH HAH!"
Okay, it doesn't say that. It's just, that's kind of the meaning it conveys. And no, I have not cracked up or made any comments or even flinched at the stream of invitations to carol concerts and church get-togethers. I am however, having to resist a childish urge to buy a "I found Jesus: he was behind the sofa the whole time!" t-shirt over Christmas and wear it when I come back. Because dammit, I am not three years old.
At least-- not most of the time. Watch this space.
Okay, so yeah I'm bored and exasperated that everyone in this entire fandom makes better icons than me. Still, chillin' and idly picking a train time to go home on Monday. Not to mention my Pirates advent calendar gleefully informed me that there are only nine days left to Christmas. NINE DAYS. Scary.
I actually started this post a good two hours or so ago, only to be distracted by A dropping in for her nightly chat. Mentioned the Accusatory Hoodie thing to her -- somewhat cautiously since I've always had the impression that she's more religious than me -- only to have a bonding session over faith and people's attitudes toward it. We both agreed that the Doughnut-Bribing Christians on main square are hilarious in their utter missing of the point. "Have a doughnut! Embrace Jesus!" is basically their message. I kid you not.
We also digressed into the topic of swearing -- Accusatory Hoodie Fresher (from now on to be known as AHF) has said she doesn't, so it was a sort-of-related topic -- and it's made me want to watch Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back again. So, I'm thinking I will since this is the last night this year I'll be able to stay up late without having to worry about parents or getting up early the next morning.
Disclaimer: I mean absolutely no offense in the mockage contained within this post. I'm mocking AHF and perhaps the CU's ill-advised choice of hoodie slogans, not the wider institution. Okay, maybe a little bit. But you know, meaning nothing by it.
However, I make no promises about not buying That T-Shirt. We wants it. ;)
edit: I originally started this post three hours ago to say that yes, I know I'm behind on comments and flist stuff and, well, life, but I will catch up sometime soon. Hopefully tomorrow but this is me and my laziness. If I say tomorrow, it'll make it Tuesday. So, hopefully. :)
