Blonde moment of the day...
Saw a picture on adiml of someone's phone, displaying the word "Phonebook" and a list of contacts. I immediately thought "oh ha-ha very funny, some phone company is ripping off Facebook to be 'cool' " *weeps*
There is a live crab in our fridge. Spoils from work :P The joys of working on an oversized jetty. | | |

*sigh* Life doesn't get much better than this...
Exams are over, I'm spending all day every day finally doing projects I've wanted to do for ages - so far I've made a new chemise, a farthingale, a petticoat, almost finished the bodice of my Tudor, made pearl clusters to decorate it, made some pouches and a brooch, wondered how I'm going to get a whole skirt out of just over 3 metres of fabric, and made messes in five different rooms of the house. That being said, I have no clean clothes (or nice clothes that don't date back at least 500 years for that matter) and sqee Melbourne in like, a week! I'll be leaving this time in a week omg! Spent all day surrounded by scraps of fabric and thread and shiny bits working on my bodice blasting Wicked. EEE excitement!
I only wish there were more hours in a day so that it's not always "RUSH RUSH RUSH...damn, didn't meet that goal for today...oh wait, it was ridiculous anyway." And more hours = more relaxing/chatting/cuddles/sleeping. I hope I get it all finished and am sane by the end of it :P

Only one exam left and it's not til Monday, hooray.
They haven't been shocking too far. I pwned Neurobiology, they totally pinched stuff from all the past exams which I HAD DONE! I think there were 2 questions I had never seen before? Still, I did forgetted some things and they had to pick the vestibular system for that one question and out of all the things they could have chosen it was the thing I was shakiest on. Meh.
I actually managed to come at the wrong time for Stats, what a loser! But I went and cried all over campus (it was amazing how many people I had to cry to) and they let me sit it that afternoon and it wasn't bad either. I got to feel cool sitting at the back of a first year engineering exam where they're all hunched over their calculators and when the examiners asked me if I needed one I was like "Oh, we're not allowed to use them!"
Physiology sucked. But that wasn't a shock. I ended up writing stuff like "I know this and this and this about what they've asked me to do in the question...but I've forgotten how to figure it out. Lucky me" all over the paper whenever I couldn't do something, and in the MCQ I got to the point where if I'd heard of one of the choices, I'd circle it. Boo physiology.
And I thoroughly enjoyed my Neurobiology lab exam today, wasn't stressful at all, got quite bored waiting for the 2mins to be up for each question! Yay all structures and only two questions on function!
Right now I'm beginning the first load of what I think will end up being about 7 loads of washing...its been a while. A few days off a month, even. Yesterday I was so short on clothes I wore a green t-shirt, purple knit jumper and maroon leavers jumper, one old long school sock and one ankle sock with 2 holes. Lawl, I be coordinate! | | |

I just don't get how examiners can ask questions like "WHY does the facial nerve innervate mainly the superficial muscles of the face?" It's just dumb.
Nerves (or for that matter, any part of the body) don't do what they do for a REASON, idiots...they do it because they do!
Suggesting nerves have reasons for innervating particular muscles is called anthropomorphism, and BAD, children. Word your questions better.
That is all. | | |

I had a fantastic weekend.
In fact, I've been having a fantastic life recently.
My room has been spotless for like, a month now, I handed all my assignments this semester in early (except for one essay and I'm kinda glad I let myself have that extra weekend because like, 100% is pretty cool.), I have an amazing boyfriend who believes I can achieve anything I want to and tells me so, regularly, I have friends at uni who study and we study together and it's really great, I'm doing well and will probably do not too shabbily in my exams, I have accomplished a vast amount of sewing this year so far and am looking forward to some more seamstressing feats, a good amount of our college newbies from the beginning of the year are still enthusiastic, some getting armour, some coming to the sewing and dancing classes I facilitate, and I have lots of ideas for stuff we can do to increase the might of St Basil, I've been late for work (where previously I was a repeat offender) only once or twice since I got back from Canada, and especially during and after this weekend I've been feeling top of the world.
And now I'm not even capable of house-sitting. I'm 19, for crying in a bucket! The fact that I gave in and am sleeping at home tonight (despite Flash-bang's pleading eyes) makes me feel weak, defeated, incapable of letting myself be heard, easily arm-twisted and many other negative things. It's not a nice situation where a) someone changes their mind where previously were supporting you to do something new, and self-confidence building and b) its a lose lose situation. Go home, feel like you're letting yourself and others down and being irresponsible, stay and another person feels insulted and slighted and hates you. And as for being told I don't appreciate the fact that my parents are putting me through uni so I don't have to work, I really don't feel so great about that. They just assume that when I'm at uni I'm traipsing around doing medieval stuff or hanging out (reality check #1: I'm in the library unless I'm in class, I'm eating or it's after 4pm on a Tues or Thurs and I'm doing college stuff) and that when I'm home I just moon around achieving nothing (reality check #2: either studying, writing assignments or having much needed downtime that usually involves chatting with friends I haven't seen forever (or at least it feels like I havent) or doing sewing projects. And I do have a job, hello. Obviously it's not something that supports me but I still go because I am needed there and also I enjoy eating lunch. And dinner, many nights of the week. And I don't feel like transporting swords and rapier safety gear for college training and the very heavy and numerous textbooks I use on a daily basis to and from uni on a train and a bus.
Are they honestly just worried about their little girl growing up, do they think I'm incapable of anything or do they really think someone is going to break into a suburbian house with four cars in the driveway, a big barky dog in the backyard and a police station 30 seconds away?

So I'm back from Pencampwr and it was again an absolute blast. The weather was epic, we had lightening, thunder, pavillion mangling (D:) winds, rain by the tonne and power/water blackouts for a few hours on Saturday night.
The King and Queen were over and they were great - very impressive in their awesome Tudor stuff. I got to be lady in waiting for Queen Bethan for the weekend and it was so cool - I got to lace her into her awesome dresses and beat her farthingale into shape and artistically arrange her sleeves and keep her watered during the epic-ly long court and keep her company during the day (when I wasn't running around doing other stuff :P) The king was great fun as well - super-occer with a penchant for cheese who was perfectly happy to stay up til 2 with us playing Toblero.
Saturday was Daniel's birthday, yay! He really is an old man now, into triple decades! :P He got himself Rather Drunk, which was very amusing for me, but not so much for him the next morning :P
Andre was knighted! Huzzah Sir Andre! The ceremony was a tear-jerker, everyone was sniffly. A million people (including myself) got their Award of Arms meaning I'm Lady Gillian now, awesome. I was also made a member of the Order of the Golden Swans (a baronial award for the Arts and Sciences). Then I was invited to sit at the high table for the feast so all in all Sunday was a rather overwhelming night. Mmm golden syrup mead.
Omg tavern night *hangs head in shame*. No actually I take that back because it was so much fun. There was a "Sauciest Wench" competiton running and I happened to mention "wouldn't it be funny if I wrote stuff all over myself with tomato sauce" and was immediately supplied with chocolate sauce and the king wrote "VOTE ME" on my chest (I was wearing my new Uber-wenchy cotehardie so there was plenty of room) and I wenched around asking people "Am I not the sauciest wench in the room?". Only a few of them actually licked me... :P. But the honour of being the most saucy wench in the populace went to Annelyne, whose cleavage and sultry dance skills are simply unbeatable :D :D. Insane combat Duck Dance was also made of win, I'm sure there are many bruises :P
Oh god I need sleep. Sleeeeeeep. Mmmm real bed...mmm no weird noises....mmm no truckdrivers honking horns late at night. Crap have to go rummage for my toothbrush. GNITE ALL. If I find good photos anywhere I will pinch them and show you guys. | | |

Earlier this morning I finished "Frederica" which had been providing a distraction for many a day now, and can I just say...SQUEE! Georgette Heyer is truly a comic/dramatic/romantic/adventurous mastermind. *sigh* Oh Charis, you is so bird-witted. Oh Mr Trevor, you is so funnily awesome. Oh Lord Alverstoke, you is so sexeh in your pantaloons.
So I'm finally going crazy with this PSYCH LIT REVIEW which is going to be AWESOME because I have already quoted Shakespeare and I kind of know where I'm going with it. And we have recieved an extension on our other psych assignment so all the crazy-badness is not all crazy-bad. And Neuro study group seems to be paying off - whoo 10/10 in lab quiz!
In other news, my father is currently equipping our house with an attic. Thinking I may have to invest in earplugs. | | |

Is that not the best acronym for remembering which cranial nerves are sensory (S) motor (M) or both (B) you have EVER heard? This is totally going to get me through the exam. I love study group. How typical is this - after a nice day of actually getting sewing projects completed for once, I am unable to finish the last thing in my entire viking outfit because my white embroidery thread is nowhere to be found...all I need to do is make the ties for my coif and sew them on and the entire outfit is entirely finished in its entirety. (I started it at about 10 last night, and still had time to sleep for about 9 hours and go to study group and other places for about 8 hours.) But my underdress, overdress and beads are finished...its just this thread that I can't find that is holding me back :P Maan, Viking is so easy. And it's cute too, hehe. Will post pics once it is completely finished (ie, never, as is the way with most of my garb) Working all day tomorrow...this is probably a good thing though, since parking fine yesterday doubled my automobile expenses for the week. In other news: SHOEBOX IS COMING BACK!!! And also, if anybody wants Mollies (small tropical fish) we have, oh...about 50 or so! And they ain't stopping, minutes after the mother gave birth the daddy was raping her again. At the moment they're white with black spots (and very tiny) | | |
