1. Even Ag Boys love their mothers. Though why they choose to call them from the courtyard, where everyone can hear them, is a mystery to me. I had the privilege this morning of hearing Sam-I-Am say "I love you too, Mum..." Highly amusing.
2. Last night when I was just drifting off to sleep at about 10:30, Macca and Lochie had a huge screaming fight. I don't know what it was about, I just heard lots of yelling and someone saying "Macca, Macca," placatingly. I tried not to listen, but then it was all weirdly quiet and it took me ages to get back to sleep. It must have been fairly serious because they're both still angry this morning and I distinctly heard Macca saying he was going to smash Lochie.
3. Last night I talked to Mum o the phone. When she was at uni she stole a dogfish from the lab to practice dissecting at home. What a rebel. They had to hang it out the window of Dad's car with a rope on the way back to her flat because it stunk so much. No wonder I'm a nerd.
4. I am reading The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki for English. King Hrolf is an awesome King and all the best men in Scandinavia want to be his champions. He is fair and generous and righteous. He is strong and smart and regal. He's also INBRED. His mother is also his sister. That's disgusting. Obviously, in medieval Scandinavia they had different ideas about incest.
5. Speaking of incest, who heard about the guy who kept his daughter locked in the basement for 24 years and fathered seven of her children? I only heard a snippet on the radion while I was at the gym, so I don't know the full story, but what gets me is that his wife didn't know. How could you possibly fail to notice that your husband was a cruel incestuous pervert and was KEEPING YOUR DAUGHTER AND 4 OF HER CHILDREN LOCKED UP UNDER YOUR HOUSE?
6. I have recently realised that all my friends, actual friends rather than acquaintances or people I am friendly with, are white, female and middle class, except for one and she is female and middle class. I really need to expand my horizons.
7. Eddie Vedder's words of wisdom: "Everyone is practising... Our world's an accident." |

Holy crap I leave for uni on Sunday! This will be a large-scale change. Dad can't come to see me settled in because he couldn't get time off work :( |

| | Bad Radio - Homeless | ] |
I've finally enrolled in uni! I've picked all my subjects. It was so complicated! So now I'm doing a conjoint BA/BSc and planning to major in linguistics and ecology. What the hell am I going to do with a linguistics degree? But the BA is mostly for interest rather than practical use anyway, Ecology is the field I'm actually going to work in. Yay! I'm going to learn latin!
On a different note: Homeless is an excellent song. I don't know why Bad Radio never made it as a band. But it's good that they didn't or there would be no Pearl Jam.
My friends are all coming out tomorrow (all three of them), to goto the beach and go swimming and play backyard cricket. Or not because it has finally decided to rain. Rats. |
