The Quiet Before The Strawberry

Notage...
At about this time yesterday, I checked outside my room door and found the following note from Kieran:

"Dear Ambiguous Strawberry,

I'm going to blitz this grooveshoe.

Yours sincerely,
Mr Mystery."

I had no idea what this meant, but I'm beginning to suspect my life is not like other people's.


The Strawberry Revealed
Considering all notes for the "Ambiguous" Strawberry had been left at my door, I wasn't surprised when Kieran promised me, in person... I can't remember, something vaguely threatening against the Strawberry. I think it may have been, "I'm gonna break you."

And, surprisingly, until this point he seemed to have believed that the other half of the Ubiquitous Strawberry was... Celery. However, Richard (proud of the achievements of the Strawberry) soon put him straight... and was also duly promised a breaking.

We wait eagerly to see how this threat will be executed. Meanwhile, we plot.


Politics?
From about 11.45pm til 12.25am, we had a rather heated political discussion in my room (i.e. Richard and Blaise talked in raised voices about things linkable to politics while James and I watched with interest, and possibly started working out suitable odds just in case things moved on to violent solutions). I don't remember much of what was said, other than that we've decided Harry probably isn't Prince Charles' son, people live their lives to achieve happiness/genetic improvement (WTF? Richard, still don't understand your point), that someone voting Tory at the age of 20 has no soul, and that the laws of nature state that every manifesto must have a pie chart. Or several.

Then everyone got up to leave... and stood talking in a circle for about another 40 minutes...


The Plural of Pancreas
The plural of pancreas shouldn't be pancreases. Here is a collected list of better suited words:

Pancreae
Pancreii
Pancreati
Pancreatons (lol Steve)
Pancreallae
Pancreas times (insert required number here)
Pancration... no, sorry, that's a form of wrestling. Never mind.

I was, however, most severely disappointed when our "Liver & Pancreas - imaging" practical turned out to be severely lacking in pancreas specimens. In fact, there were none. False advertising, anyone?

I am most aggrieved. Everyone's seen a liver; it takes a truly special practical to bring you in touch with pancreae.


The Confession Of Gerald Dorrity
Posted on the forum of the Derry band, Tainted Perfection.

"The Confession of Gerald Dorrity.
I can't keep it from you any longer!

Firstly, I don't know how to say this,
but........I like wearing women's clothing.
I can't tell you how it started but it's been bothering me for too long now.
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I think about is how I'm going to get through the day without slipping off somewhere to put on some knickers, garters or tights and feel how the soft fabric feels on my smooth body. It really relaxes me.

Also, I know that everyone's been wondering about my obsession with Jack Skellington, and the reason for it is that I want him, and I want to be him.
Jack is the most perfect figure of anyone I've ever seen - the slim, elegant limbs, the agility, the height - Oh God, how I envy his height.The things a man could do if he could soar to such heights!
Alas, it is but a dream.

Also, me and Gyro have been writing a song called "I'm going to rip her knickers off".
What he doesn't know is that it is actually about ME! I am the one wearing her knickers and I'm dying to rip them off because I bought them a few sizes too small.
I'm sorry for lying to you Gerard, I know the lyrics seemed suspicious and I should have admitted it there and then. But I was afraid that you wouldn't understand what I'm going through!

I want everyone to know that I'm going to seek professional help for my condition as soon as possible.
Right after the next lingerie sale at La Senza.

Yyyyyyes... this was actually written by my brother, when Gerald forgot to sign out of the forum on our home computer.
I did try to read it on the forum, but it's not there anymore... it seems Gerald's girlfriend deleted it...
