The 10p mix of postings
So yes, it's official - Siobhan is a bitch. Who else would wait weeks, watching a supposed close friend getting closer to an ex and then suddenly step in and steal her back. The mind boggles; so do her eyes come to think of it. The matter was discussed in some detail along with Anna and Lauren's growing up with "screwed up" friends - I think Anna won that competition. Solution: remove Siobhan from our Facebook profiles.
Personally, I think it all adds to the spice of life; if we were all perfect drones life'd be a little bit dull. Thinking about it, Durham has presented itself with the most "screwed up" people I know; screwed up being completely the wrong phrase, as I see them as perhaps more normal than other people I know. Maybe has something to do with my insistence that the majority of people have some problem in their life, it's just the sensible ones have decided to share. Beats randomly killing someone in a fit of rage one day. When I think of it, even though people I know have these problems, they are still perfectly functioning human beings, or at least appear to be. Lauren copes very well, in fact I dare say she has less of a problem with her ADD than someone like Chris ( a pentecostal serial man- (nay, boy-)shagger), who has issues with his sexuality and church. Either that, or he's just more of a whinger. I don't like discussing the inner-workings of others' minds, especially as I have little clue what goes on in mine most of the time, and I definitely don't want to downplay people's feelings. People feel how they feel; they can't help it.
In other news, Anna tried to gas Lauren and myself by dyeing wool; still not overly fond of the smell of dye bubbling in a microwave, but it's growing on me. The hot wool smells like a drive in the countryside during summer - odd but how my olfactory system interpreted it.
The poof-themed novel turned BBC serial drama, turned out to be rather good, minus the daughter's constant "darlings" and my decision 5 minutes in that it was going to be all HIV/AIDS related. Grrrr to the mid-80s. Dan Stevens, I think that was his name, is soon to adorn the covers of Attitude and Gay TImes; at least that is my prediction. Really quite fine, even in ultra-preppy Lawton-style wear.
It was also discovered today that Durham suffers from a lack of Ball Gowns; and the really nice one that I managed to find in Persona for Lauren, a two piece corset and skirt number - amazingly fabulous came to something like £350. Hopefully Lauren can persuade the parents that it's necessary. Lauren's description of twice-weekly-selfridges mother, suggests it might not be too difficult.
Am also pissed off that Patty Schnyder isn't beating Venus Williams in the tennis, even though she managed to end up 5-4 on serve and then lose the set 7-6(2) - tripe. I have become somewhat attached to the women's tennis; I blame the return of Martina Hingis to the game, that and all the cute men of the ATP are currently injured or playing crap. Can't wait for French Open, Stella Artois, Bournemouth and Wimbledon which are all apparently being shown on BBCi. "Just press the button".
On that note, I'm going to stalk people on Facebook.
