He's Done It...
May. 3rd, 2006 02:32 pm...I'm not sure how, but Keiran's managed to sit on a result hard enough that it's now deformed and not showing what to my eyes it showed last week.
Trouble is, he's right, and had he not done so it would have bit me round the neck come write-up time.
Doesn't make it any less depressing though.
Roll on the weekend and coming week, where Rhinyn goes on asuicide mission scouting trip round Sonalista to make sure the tainted are all still there and raring to slaughter the entire faction when they arrive the following morning, before I bugger off OOC and go on holiday to the Lake District with the parents. This will be the third time in four years we've gone there, and are still getting the same buzz as when we first did.
Plus sides of going to Ambleside:
1) A self-catered apartment with every mod. con. fifty yards from the best pub in the country.
2) Wall-to-wall drinking of various ales I don't get my hands on normally from any of about twenty good watering holes we've found.
3) Photography
4) Escape from all the bullshit surrounding the fact that I'm starting to write up a PhD that I had hoped would achieve more.
5) A large chunk of the time that would be spent pining for the new computer spent doing something that takes my mind off it.
6) Quality (i.e. drinking) time with parents.
7) Aunt's birthday party on the day before I come back to Bath.
Minus sides of going to Ambleside:
1) No Emma for ten days.
2) No Emma for ten days. While reasons 1) and 2) are the same, I thought it such a big one that it should be mentioned twice.
3) I miss two awards ceremonies, one of which I have been personally invited to. Hang on, I don't want to see one of the awards being given, and I dislike the inviter to the other one. Scratch that and add it to the pluses.
4) I miss three concerts, one of which I was helping to write.
5) I miss the rest of the Unicorns event - and avoid getting slaughtered. Add that to the pluses as well.
On the whole, I'm going to put it in the potentially positive experience bracket, but not being able to see Emma for ten days rather puts a damper on things. As for the other stuff, however, good riddance to bad rubbish - it'll be a relief to jump in the train to the event and leave it all behind for a while.
In other news, yet another older person has fallen foul of the rules they were all for putting in place to kerb the antisocial behaviour of no good punk kids. I say again - if you're going to enforce the rules, enforce them on everyone, and let the older people demonstrate how easy they are to actually follow.
Or how hard. As the case may be.
