10 things I don't understand...
1. Why it costs £40 less for a first class train ticket to Exeter from Sheffield then for a standard class one. This may have something to do with seat reservations but I still don't understand it. Not that I'm complaining, first class here I come. And I think I'm going to dress like a hobo and see how many times I'm asked to move!
2. Baby Shops. Not shop where you buy actual babies (not that I would understand those if they existed), but shops for buying things for babies. I went to Mother Care today to try and buy something for my nephew who I am going to meet on Thursday. It was a scary experience. Do I buy something practical but boring or cute but useless and what size do you get? I mean he is a month old and growing fast so WHAT DO I GET? I don't know! And Mother Care was full of confident mothers with prams knowing what they want. I didn't like it. But I did buy him too cute for words baby bootee things from the too expensive for words organic and pretentious shop on West Street.
3. Why my room is so cold when the radiator is on full. I do sleep with the window open a crack, but the radiator is on all night, due to my housemate's lack of understanding of the principles or house heating. So actually I do understand why my room is cold, but I haven't got round to tackling the issue.
4. Why I am incapable of going into Waterstones and not buying anything. I have too many books (about 20 on my to-read pile) and yet I buy more at roughly the same rate as I read. BAD BAD BAD.
5. Why my housemate that I don't really like decided I needed to know what happened to him in Flares on Saturday night. This involved some girl trying to pull him. This is a very unpleasant image because 1. my housemate is very very unattractive (no really, he is, and he is fat and his feet smell and he wears tracksuits) and 2. Flares is a horrible place filled with drunk people wearing clothes that they shouldn't and trying to relive their long lost youth through dancing badly to shit music. I went once and I was scarred. Now I'm scarred by the thought of David in there.
6. Why whenever I want to watch TV my housemate Fred is watching either American news channels (bearable because it's usually about the election which is interesting) or the African Football Cup Thing (not bearable, I know his is African, but really, does he need to watch almost ever match? REALLY? I HATE FOOTBALL.)
7. How England managed to fuck up so much on Saturday. The Welsh team could have gone home for the last 10 minutes and we still would have lost. I am ashamed and avoiding Welsh people for a few days because it'll upset me.
8. Why I can't stop eating Giant Strawberry Refreshers. Stupid E numbers and flavourings. Yummy Yummy Strawberry flavoured chewiness.
9. Why someone I know at Uni is such a complete and utter twat. I've known he was a twat for some time, but today it was confirmed in a number of ways... 1. His favourite band is Hanson (in a not ironic way) but he doesn't think Ani Difranco has a good voice. This is wrong for too many reasons. 2. He is Pseudo-Welsh (see no. 7, I'm not being racist, just rugby upset), meaning that he is from Manchester but his parents are Welsh so he claims an unneeded level of Welsh patriotism. 3. He is a SEX PEST who thinks that hounding girls in clubs with result in a long term girlfriend, when actually it results in drunk sex which has in turn, I learned today, resulted in unwanted pregnancy and miscarriage which he is being dramatic about and yet is continuing to have drunken sex with randomers. Yes it must have been upsetting for him, but I'd put a lot of money on the girl in question not going out and having drunken sex for a long long long time! Has he learned from this BIG mistake? NO and this is really what I don't understand.
10. Why my ability to spell and type appears to be getting progressively worse even though I am typing/ writing and reading more now then when I am actually at uni. Weird.
