meme and well, more stuff. because stuff is like other stuff.
Exeat soon, which means they'll kick us all out the boarding house and I need to find someplace to go. The guardian services say they want to drag me all out to Dartmouth; a long way away. I don't really care; I've got my entertainment for the week following in the shape of Advance Wars DS (thank you Jimbo). This game is definitely starting to grow on me... despite it not being really that different from the GBA games, the stylus makes everything bettah.
Oh, and because I was tagged....
Chaos's Weird Five Habits: tagged by the tkdangel. Not gonna tag anyone to do it; if you wanna, go ahead.
1) I can be ridiculously blunt when I haven't had my coffee and I'm cranky. An example would be today; in English our teacher just went blah blah blah bwah blah (he changed tone ONCE but I think that was it) and I actually said to his face "You know that thing where you talk a lot without actually saying anything? You're doing it again." Luckily we're on such bad terms with each other, because he might actually have been offended had it been anyone else.
2) When I start a fiction book, I absolutely cannot put it down until I have read it all. Sometimes this leads to "lost time" such as experienced with games (in particular MMORPGs); I've sometimes gone through an entire school day clutching a thick fantasy volume then realized I had gone through the entire day without paying attention to anything BUT the book.
3) I drink like a freaking hole in the sink. The only exceptions are hot drinks and alcohol; everything else I bolt down amidst all efforts to make myself sip. Even slow swallows don't cut it; it's just chug chug chug until I stop for air. (plus, Coke *burns* your throat like a mofo if you try chugging it cold. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.) My standard easy-wakeup morning routine at boarding school here, when there's no time for a real coffee, is what I term the "cheapo" - LOTS of instant coffee, sugar in a bowl, marginal amount of hot water, top it up with cold milk, and chug it down. (Yes, I KNOW it's bad for me. Missed the part where I cared.)
4) I go around my own house barefoot. No slippers. This can be a drawback in winter, because laminated wood floors, although pretty, are cold. And the tiles of the bathroom are even colder. This may also be a rational explanation for why I always stub my right toe against a door frame in the middle of the night when I get up to use the bathroom. It's always the same toe, though =/
5) I own a "ChaosJacket". For those who haven't seen me in RL, it's ...well, a jacket that I can wear day in day out in hot weather or cold, capable of helping me withstand up to and beyond zero temperatures. There have been four ChaosJackets to date, the first one I still have for sentimental value, the second and third fell apart after prolonged use, and the current one is lasting okay. I'd give it another two years. For a jacket to be a ChaosJacket, it must fill in the following criteria:
-Roomy. The jacket should fit loosely without being baggy, the sleeves should never get in the way without allowing you to hide stuff up them. It must also be uber-comfortable and easily thrown on or sloughed off.
-Pockets. The front jacket pockets should be very deep, and should be able to store in turn my wallet, personal electrics, keys, up to two DVD cases/game cases (alternatively, three CD cases) in EACH pocket, Peppa cans, and a few pens. And the jacket should be able to hold all of this WITHOUT looking like you hold all that stuff, yo. This also links in with weight; despite being warm the jacket should be light by itself since it's going to hold everything.
-Toughness. The third ChaosJacket didn't pass this test; unfortunately, which was why it was replaced after only one year. Over the duration of its time as a ChaosJacket it will be stepped on, kicked around, stained, left on the floor, sat on, and crumpled in all angles. Naturally the stitching holding it together must be extremely tough and must be able to withstand the trials of life.
-Comforting. May be sentimental, but it's both my armor and my utility storage. Once weighed down with everything and I shrug it on... it's pretty much a part of me, and I don't feel secure going out of doors without it.
-Colour. It must be black, or at the very least a dark blue. Because I like black. =P
