Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
I get cranky if I don't get about 10hrs sleep, which I'm sure isn't normal. But I love my bed. It's warm and snuggly and the outside is cold and contains my thesis. Bed is better.
ION: I'm working through my first set of marking for my teaching. It takes so much longer than you'd think to mark a 5 page essay. It has also convinced me that none of my tutees have actually paid any attention to anything I've said in all our tutorials.

Hey, it's better then waking up 8 times and getting 8 hours of sleep.

It's not just you. When I get into snuggly blanketcuddle mode, it can take three hours for me to get out of bed, because I keep feeling tired again.

Ah, sleep. What is it about final year of high school/college (depending on which country you're in) that demands you get no sleep?
Thankfully, there is coffee. Sweet, sweet, coffee.

Using the LEGO brand name
Please help us to protect our brand name:
- The LEGO brand name should always be written in capital letters
- LEGO must never be used as a generic term or in the plural or as a possessive pronoun, e.g. “LEGO’s”.
- When the LEGO brand name is used as part of a noun, it must never appear on its own. It should always be accompanied by a noun. For example, LEGO set, LEGO products, LEGO Group, LEGO play materials, LEGO bricks, LEGO universe, etc.
- The first time the LEGO brand name appears it must be accompanied by the Registered symbol ®.
- Thank you for helping us!

I'm currently looking in my pile of oldies to find a nice game to install and play. So far no results, sadly.

My feathers move with whispers from the clouds;
I raise my sable snood.
I pin your lifeless fence-post to the sky.
My plinth's alive with food;
I nibble what I want, not what's allowed.
I do not care about your fading mood;
I do not wonder why.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
LEGO Stig?
Want. Now.
GUess what!
I have money now! As in my student finance has finally come in! I've never seen so much money (in my account) before!
It made me positively giddy with glee. So I went to Lush and bought myself something that I'd been coveting for a while. Big. I've been recommended it by multiple members of staff on many occasions as well as by friends, plus I liked the smell and so on.
I've just tried it and it smells lovely, and even though I drip dry my hair it already feels fantastic. Expensive, yes, but I used hardly any and it lathers well, so it'll last for ages.
[/shampoo rave]
I recommend it anyway. And the shop in general.

@CKG: Well that depends on how long the essay is allowed to be, and what sort of class you're in. If it's a class that entirely expects you to research as much of the history as possible, you could get away with doing all three.

2 500 to 2 500 words.
I'm not in a class. To save time:
Oxford works on a tutorial basis meaning that every student will have at least one tutorial a week with no more than three people plus the professor. This is intensive discussion about the week's essays and the essay topic in general.
At the end of the tutorial we have a five minute or so talk about what question we would like to set ourselves for the next essay.
There are no classes or lectures which are obligatory, we go the whatever we feel like; although there are two classes which are highly suggested we go to.
My subject for this week (I'm the only one doing it I think (it's a Free Topic week)) is Victorian Gothic Literature.
My essay is due in next week.

OK, so I have now been up for about 32 hours.

That's pretty much it. I watched Casino Royale. It's pretty enjoyable. And I have learned that it can be very complicated to get cheap train tickets.

You know what I find frustrating? When you make a thread and make it obvious you want people to comment on its contents and nobody does. I suppose I can't demand that people take time out of there day for my benefit but its still frustrating:smallsigh:. If anybody woud like to take the time to read a stort little story by me and comment on it, I would appreciate it. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131973

Huh..that sounds like an interesting method of tutelage. Well, in that case, I suggest you go with whatever subject most interests you, and failing that, you should do some research, and see what subject occurs most frequently, so you can garner your topic towards a subject that is easier to read/write about.

Indeed, 50% rock salt, so it feels strange to use; but my hair is now dry and it feels gorgeous. Shinier, softer and it lovely smelling.
I'm not sure, but it may be possible to buy it online and have it shipped over. Sadly, the nearest shops to you would be in Chile or the USA.

There are even shampoos and conditioners specifically for curly hair. And they got a lot of shops in the US too, maybe there's one near you![/stragely commercialised post]

It's the Oxbridge (and Durham!) way. And it's awesome, you learn one heck of a lot.
I think I'll do Degeneracy in Victorian Gothic Literature as then I can cover everything from moral to sexual to mental and physical.

Grapes are very addictive.
There's a bowl of grapes in my room, fresh bought today. I can't stop eating them.
My eyes slide towards the bowl and I think 'One more can't hurt.' and I reach out and bite into the tart fruit and the juice is sweet with a tart bite to it and you want another one so badly.
Grapes are the Pringles of fruit.

At least they're healthy. I've been known to do that with biscuits.
Actually it may just be a general thing which can happen if you have snacks in your room. Every now and then the right mood will come over you, and suddenly there are no longer any snacks in your room and you have to buy more.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
Grapes? Juicy, dripping-down-my-chin, crushed-in-my-mouth-with-my-to...
Ahem.
Now I want grape juice with ice. Damn you!
Also, I'm experiencing sleep difficulties. Should I try sleeping pills (if you can get 'em without a receipt, of course) or go see a psych(iatrist)(ologist)?

I know the feeling, whenever there are grapes in my house they disappear very quickly.

My feathers rise and listen to the clouds;
I raise my sable snood.
I pin your lifeless fence-post to the sky.
My plinth's alive with food.
I nibble fairy wings and sip their blood;
I thin the cheering crowd.
The fence will never fall before I fly.

I'm having some trouble parsing CurlyKitGirl's post. I know the Bhopal scent which wells from the local Lush (on the corner with the old crow, singing for his ale--the cosmetics shop is the only one in a four-store radius which props its doors open), but that is neither pleasant nor in any sense partible. The idea that there may be component scents, pleasant scents, is foreign.
*****
Saving the seeds of seeded grapes, later to scatter them on the hillside now running with rain along with pits of preserved sour cherries. Either they will root and attempt to grow or the mice of the wood will eat them.

The overall scent from Lush always makes me sneeze violently for about 5mins until my nose seizes up and I stop being able to smell anything. Some of the individual products smell quite nice, though I personally find it a bit hard to identify the nice ones due to the aforementioned sneezing. Some of them smell like crap, mind.
I have heard good things about their shampoo. I'll have to dare the overwhelming smell of the store and try some at some point.

Re: Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133
I went into an office at the top of a five story building with a Lush at the bottom. On the way up the smells mingled into one sickly sweet scent that filled every room in the building. Horrible, it was.
Individually Lush products smell quite nice.
