5'll make you feel alright!

I am so ridiculously sick to the back teeth of '5 things' on Facebook!!! I use FB to catch up with goss from old school mates, stalk people I'd rather not talk to, and keep up to date on who's going out with who. I do not care if you have an empty beer can within arm's reach, and four other boring and ordinary items. Equally, it's not gonna make my day to discover that you have hand picked the 5 most bizarre items in you house to sit next to before filling that quiz out.

And if you can't beat them....

1. A plastic skull - gained using the best of medical communication and informed consent while celebrating the closure of the Union. I also have a yellow pool ball from that evening. The table itself wouldn't fit down the stairs...

2. A wine glass. Empty, obv.

3. Half a billion padded envelopes. I'm trying to save enough to pad my room. Cheaper heating bills....

4. The Anatomy Colouring Book. Cos colouring is the new studying.

5. A stretchy rubber ball that looks like a lion, complete with stretchy tufts of mane. My mother sent it, for stress relief. Erm, thanks.

Nyargh!!!!

I'm typing this at the Hometown library, cos the interweb at home steadfastly refuses to acknowledge my laptop's existence.

I had a long, detailed account of my fabulous first date last night, and then - POOF - 'cannot connect to server'.

I hate government provided public services.

Future husband, where art thou?

I've just joined the Facebook group for my uni course. It makes it feel all official and real, somehow.

The strangest part is actually having a conversation with people that I'll be spending the next five years with. My Facebook buddies are gonna be my future best friends, lifelong enemies, possible husbands, etc.

So why on Earth are none of them even remotely hot??

I'm now desperately hoping that I haven't picked the medical school with the highest proportion of girls and gay men. I will be requesting a transfer if that happens.

Give me my laptop now (not caring that it will depreciate in the five months til uni and be shit and out of date)

The Mac vs Windows argument is over. It got sidetracked slightly by geeks. I do not want Linux.

I like over-commercialised, capitalist products that have brand names that I recognise.

It's why I buy music from iTunes instead of illegal downloads. It's why I have an iPod, not a general mp3 player.

You buy a Ford car, not a generic, cheap, manufactured in somebody's spare room car with a name that has far too many x's and k's and z's. Those consonants are for long words and foreign languages.

That part of the argument was over quickly. It went something like this:



And then someone pointed out the comparable expense of a Macbook. COMPLETELY IGNORING ITS SLEEK GORGEOUS LOOKS. Ugh. Some people have weird priorities.

Internet

I just got rickrolled by little bro. If you have no idea what I'm on about; Google is your friend. However, I love it - is it sad to admit that I like Rick Astley?

Also, totally addicted to the 'how fast can you type' thing. I'm crap at it, but it's so addictive.

And this cartoon from xkcd.com sums me up perfectly:
