The Joye of Books.

Me: *walks up to the porter's lodge with package notifications in hand*
Porter: (to other porter) Here's trouble.
Me: *beaming* I'm popular! Have three packages I think.
Porter: *ominously* I know. I've heard. *turns to look* ... Here. *turns back to hand me the packages*
Me: *still beaming* Thank you! *starts to go*
Porter: WAIT. A. MINUTE.
Me: *freezes*
Porter: *still looking* mumble...mumble... You've got your own bloody pigeonhole here... *hands over one... two... three more envelopes*
Me: *starting to wonder what this looks like* Um. They're only course books for this term. Nothing exciting. Um. *sidles doorwards* Thank you!
Porter: ... Have a nice day Helen.

Am doomed. Porters know my name and probably think I'm running some sort of illegal drug smuggling scheme given that I've had eight packages in the last three days. And will be getting two more in the next day or so when my copies of Wind in the Willows and Sandman arrive.

... It's a little sad that I was telling the truth and they were only course books. I could be doing something excitingly illegal but no, I'm just being prepared weeks in advance. Not sure whether being doomed to be dull is worse than being doomed to be arrested because the porters think I'm a drug smuggler.

Though the former does involve me having to write this Shakespeare essay sometime this year. So maybe I'm leaning a little toward the latter.

I get packages regularly as well, so the porter's pretty much know who I am now. One of them does call me 'Blossom', though. Hmmm. Could be worse, I suppose.

God damn my use of apostrophes is shot to shit. I apologise.

'Fess up already, clo! You know your smuggling drugs. *pets you*

Ah, that's hilarious.

*giggles* I confess! I'm smuggling mind-numbingaltering drugs in the form of mindless course texts! Woe.

*grins* It's fun having crazy porters.

It sounds like. :-) ps is that supposed to be an /small tag, not /strike? *giggles*

^__^ Was I that obvious? ;)

Yes. Yes it was. Stupid lack of editing for comments. And I just nearly did it again! Ack.

Right now it's a toss-up to which way I go. Excellent! My evil plan to escape my essay is taking shape! ;)
