I've been pretty stressed out the past two weeks or so, what with money worries and an apparent inability to start writing my dissertation. I still haven't solidly started it, but I have a better set of ideas now as well as a couple of sample paragraphs.
Currently waiting for people from one of my classes to email back and let me know what "EC" stands for in my lecture notes. Damn abbreviations, I love you but you hurt me so...
Hallowe'en party, hmm. I don't have pictures of people in costume, but James does - hopefully I can nick some off him later. In the meantime, have a pumpkin:
I don't really have much else to add, to be honest, but oh well.
---TIMEWASTING!! WOOO!!---
Q: NAME A FRIEND WHOSE NAME STARTS WITH "M".
A: Marita. Michael Wallace. Can't really think of anyone else...
Q: 4TH PERSON ON YOUR MISSED CALLS:
A: Sarah Tang.
Q: DO YOU CHEW ON YOUR STRAWS?
A: Only a little...
Q: DO YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR?
A: Sometimes.
Q: WHAT IS THE NEXT CONCERT YOU'RE GOING TO?
A: Depends on which bar I go to next time I go out in Derry.
Q: WHAT WORD DO YOU SAY A LOT?
A: Crap. Usually preceded by "ahhhh".
Q: WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU ATE:
A: McDonald's chips. I feel fat.
Q: WHAT'S THE LAST THING YOU SAID TO SOMEONE & WHO WAS IT?
A: To Steve, probably "Oh right, you can't hear me..." - he's currently (transiently) deaf in one ear, and I tend to speak too quietly most of the time.
Q: DO YOU WATCH TV?
A: No, not here, anyway.
Q: HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE DONNIE DARKO?
A: Yep.
Q: DO YOU HAVE WORK TOMORROW?
A: It's Sunday. But I have worky things to do, so I guess I'll be doing them. :(
Q: EVER BEEN HUNTING?
A: No. I've been paintballing...
Q: IS MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE?
A: That depends on many many things.
Q: WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING RIGHT NOW?:
A: Writing up my lecture notes in a more legible format.
Q: DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME?
A: Bailey... and some others which I'm not spreading around. :P
Q: DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
A: Nah. If someone came up to me and claimed they'd just seen me now and fallen in love, there'd be a lot of flashy lights and sirens going off in my mind on the "Crazed Stalker Alert" panel.
Q: WHO'S THE YOUNGEST ONE IN THE FAMILY?
A: Kathryn, not counting cousins or family-members-coming-soon.
Q: ARE YOU A HEAVY SLEEPER?
A: I can be, but I can also be one of the twitchy ones that wake up because a fly hit the window or something.
Q: LAST TIME YOU USED A SKATEBOARD?
A: I was probably about 15. I almost hit a wall.
Q: WHERE WAS THE LAST PLACE YOU SLEPT BESIDES YOUR HOUSE?
A: Here in Cambridge, obviously. Other than that, I suppose the caravan.
Q: EVER RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD?
A: Only once, because the fuel meter was a bit dodgy.
Q: BEST MOVIE YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS?
A: Well, I've seen Borat and no other films in the past two weeks, but I really wish I didn't have to say Borat for the answer. It's funny, but it's... uncomfortable.
Q: DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WHO COME UP WITH BRAIN-DEAD QUIZZES ARE CRYING FOR HELP IN SOME TWISTED WAY?
A: Yes. You are, or you wouldn't have included that question. I'll call the local support group and they can organise an intervention for you.
Best
1. Boy who's a Friend: There are a few.
2. Colour: Purple.
3. Vacation: Ones where I don't have to worry about work. :P
4. Day of the week: Friday - 12pm start, no need to get up the next morning.
(Yeah, where is 5?)
6. Memory: The best ones are too good to cheapen by throwing them on the internet. :)
Last

2. Talked to on the phone: Good question. :S Possibly Steve, when we were trying to organise bar/carryout last night.

Today
1. Is: Saturday. Whee!

3. Goal: Finish my stem cell notes before I go. And maybe get a chance to look in some shops before they close.
4. Dislikes about tomorrow: Marks the end of yet another week. Where's the time going??

8. I have a lot to learn about life: Of course. Especially money stuff.

Woo hoo, it works now!
Now, about that first question in the questionaire. Think really hard... friend whose name begins with an M. I know you were probably rushing on to the more interesting questions in the list, or possibly distracted by the missing question; so I'll not add any more guilt to your burden. And after all, it's not too late to edit it; since so many people had their computers crash...yer ma
