(no subject)
I am a lot better now. I've had about a week to come to terms with the idea of The Chris Situation and really, there isn't too much to be sad about. Of course, I say that having not seen him in three days, I may feel quite differently when I see him in person. On Monday I lurked on campus after my 5pm Epic lecture with Sophie, Gemma and Kim, then went along to the writers society meeting, only half expecting him to be there. He turned up late, so I'd started to think I was relatively safe. He had to sit relatively near me, but I had Edwin to protect me from feelings of woe. There was a break in the meeting after half an hour or so (I'm not entirely sure why I actually went - I'm really not a writer!) so Chris, Kim, Gemma and me went for drinks, as usual, except this time we went to Oxbridge Wantage Halls. I felt like a bit of an intruder so I only stayed for about an hour. We were trying to encourage Dai/Gemma, and Chris was next to Kim, so I was a bit of a fifth wheel. Sigh. Chris then lovingly walked me to the Uni while telling me about a girl he snogged on Saturday, ugh. I swear, either that boy has no tact, or he's just insane. He did imply I was his only proper friend in the writer's group though.
Mostly because of that, I decided I'd been being silly, and that we really should work on being friends before things go wrong permenantly. So that's what we'll do, I suppose. I've never been in this position - how do you rebuild a damaged friendship like that? Especially as we never see each other outside the pub. I don't want to seem like I'm desperate or anything by asking if he wants to meet up, and if I did say that it'd probably un-nerve him, as it'd sound along the lines of "I can't accept this, I'm going to wear you down until you like me through individual meetings of doom." Or something. :) He's had his identical twin (o.0) over for the last few days, and I don't know if he's coming out tomorrow for the next Hamster Pub Gathering.
I am so tiiiired. I spent 3-4 hours in the library earlier. Me and Gemma are hardcore. Except all I did was narrow down a question for Epic, find a few books and copy a massive horse, massive amount of quotes from a critic's articles. That critic really hates Heracles, his rage is really quite humourous. At one point he said Heracles disapears because he is embarrassing to the poet (Apollonius)and the Argonauts, and said if he'd been leader, they'd have been screwed and failed in their quest for the Golden Fleece. ...The fuck, speculation?! So yeah, I haven't actually done much work, despite all that time engaging my mind.
Talking of work, apparently my English Seminar tutors are insane. My rushed essays I did a fortnight ago, which contained no secondary sources, got 2.1s. I wish they weren't non-assessed. :D 19th century = 62, and 18th century = 66. What?! That has made me slightly more confident about these essays of death. I really do need to go offline before 8 to get more critical work copied up before Heroes...
Tomorrow, as I mentioned, is a pub meetup, arranged by me and Kim. So it'll probably only BE Me, Kim and Gemma, though Gemma saw Simon earlier and he was still up for it, woot. I sent a mass email (yeah, mass, there are 8 of us) so they have the information at least. :) I'm meeting Kim at HumSS, quite excited about it, sadly enough!
I'm meant to be at a Classics film screening right now, which Egyptian Chris invited me to, but he is ill at home, bless him. I was abandoned for Egyptian! Talking of which, I have learnt the sign for "everything" - my first glyph, woot! Mainly because it looks like a scary winking face. :D The Christmas homework is terrifying, I may make Chris help me on it. He texted me to say he wouldn't be in on Wednesday, and during the conversation asked if I was free during the weekend. Literally every single person who I have mentioned E. Chris to has insisted he fancies me, so everyone is assuming that if we meet up it will be a date. Especially Laura, with her "tell me when he leans in for a kiss..." >.< If he did like me, which he doesn't, I'm no longer interested. No right now, anyway. Because of...yeah, the other one.
Me, Verity and Laura drove to Basingstoke yesterday to see Russell Howard, and OH MY GOD. He is actually the funniest man in the world! I nearly died laughing on several occasions. They were filming as well, ooh. The hecklers were really agh at the end, I felt sorry for the lovely Russell! As my memory is like an old woman with Alzheimers, the quotes are fading from my mind at a frightening speed, so Laura, do feel free to quote bits at me in a comment. :D My friend Becca goes to Warwick, and she says he is dating someone at her Uni, so he comes into the comedy club where she works and stuff. Gnugh. Sophie also saw him when he came to our Comedy Night last night. WHAT THE HELL?? I had no idea about that!
Jess - Karl Kennedy is at our Union next week, innit? :D
This is so misplaced, and I keep shifting backwards and forwards in time! My entries annoy me lately, they are all "ooooh, boys!" and stuff, and that really isn't like me. You don't see many metre long girl squees in here. Stupid boy. RIGHT I will just stop mentioning him now before I get de-friended!
