(no subject)
I love Durham. I love it here. I do not regret coming here, despite the fact that the work load's truly shit (did my first submission today morning), and I've met a douche bag of epic proportions. My friends are brilliant. My flat is brilliant. My family life is NOT brilliant.
My dad and me had a fucking huge argument today. Started in the morning, hasn't ended yet. You know Fb has this app? Which tells you what news articles your friends are reading and what you're reading? Yeah. I wanted to read some articles. I did. I allowed the app and read them. Then my dad rings me and says, 'this is a very bad app, it could ruin your reputation and chances of getting a job in the future'. My obvious and fairly justified reaction was, 'whatthefuck.' He's like, 'you're reading articles of a dodgy nature, and blah blah blah, and it makes a very bad impression on everyone, and the other people who use this app, I wouldn't want to meet in dark alleys at night blah blah blah. Don't come crying to me if ten years down the road you can't get hired because you read all these things on the news on Fb.'
None of what I said was an exaggeration. All these lines (except the blah blah blah bits) are quoted word for word. I deleted it, of course, because I'm a good Indian daughter, but WHATTHEFUCK. IT'S NEWS. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IT'LL RUIN YOUR JOB PROSPECTS. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON?! Anyone with half a brain in their heads can see that it's a news article. Anyone. And you cast allusions on my character, and my nature, when you of all people are supposed to know what I'm like, and you give this kind of fucking ridiculous reason for it? You say you've thought it out, clearly not. Clearly not. I mean, seriously. So, there was an article I'd read titled 'Teacher who has sex with students held for trial', WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY IT'S DODGY. IT'S NEWS. IT HAPPENED. IT DID. IN REAL LIFE. GET THE FUCK OVER IT AND BE AN ADULT. And then he has the balls to say that 'he's never censored me and he never will, and I can do whatever I want to do, but if I'm reading adult materials he wouldn't want me in his house because he wouldn't want to be associated with things like that?' And then. THEN (after the customary, 'do you think you can pay for uni on your own threat'),
He unfriended me on Fb. UNFRIENDED. ME. ON. FACEBOOK.
He can go fuck on off. It's very mature. I'm very highly impressed with that.
And obviously my mum doesn't have a clue what's going on, and has to side with him because she hates facebook, so it's principle. I swear, FUCK. I had such a bad day. Good friends, and great support though. If you ever read this (which I hope you don't) thanks guys.
On to more positive things, a couple of days ago, JK had a sock on his door handle. Me and ELG freaked the shit out and started gossiping between the two of us, speculating. We told KB, who, very intelligently went and told SC, who was like, 'it's not actually that scandalous. I did some of his laundry for him, and he'd left a pair of socks in my room, so i put them there before I forgot.' We're all like, 'ohhhhh'. :( Then SC went and told JK. *the horror*
He was like, "So how was I in the sack the other day, with the socks on my doorknob?" and we're like *blushblush*.
Then, they put up post-it notes on all the girls' doors, saying 'I'm having sex', and on their own doors 'I'm studying'. And somehow, one girl got the note 'I'm having anal sex'. 0.o So I retaliated. I inserted 'great' into our own postit notes as in 'I'm having great sex', and added another post it to their doors saying 'I'm not having any sex at all :('.
Just ten minutes ago, I got an additional note specifically on my door saying "with other girls'. I don't mind, because we'd already declared war, so it's all in good fun. I just put on on SC's door, saying, 'but I have some good timez with my salami! ;)' because he loves salami, and he always makes this orgasmic sound when he eats it. Roflol. I love this flat.
Attended a really good debate about feminism tonight, so I'm happy. Gotta do my laundry today because I'm plumb outta underwear. Also, thank god I got to tesco, else I'd be dead now, without milk and bread. nomnomnom, student food...
Guy Fawkes tomorrow, and KB's dad and sister are coming to visit her, and they're taking us all out to watch a display somewhere, so that's brilliant! It'll be really fun. I'm excited.
I hope my sorethroat goes away though, and soon. I've got two tutorials on monday and tuesday. :(
Love,
LM
