Things I miss about Oxford (in no particular order)

Jun 30, 2008 10:03

Because I've been done for more than a year, and I was miserable almost all the time I was there, but when I get one of their stupid alumni magazines with the pictures in it my chest hurts. Not aided by the fact that Saturday was my Dad's football team's annual barbecue, and I had to turn up and be sociable and pretend I had a life. Which I don't. ( Read more... )

real life: random misery, real life: no plans

What was it we said? Life needs to stop sucking. Urgh. :(

*cuddles* One day, when you/I/we are rich ...

I am getting fairly annoyed with the whole lack-of-independence thing myself, weirdly. It's harder to explore taboo aspects of your personality when your dad is the one who has to sign for all the post. Sigh. See, if Top Gear hadn't trained me to hate caravans so much ...

<3333 you

<3s you right back.

How do you feel about Cardiff? Not-London, theatre, castle, sea, Torchwood-sightings... Or one of us could write the next Harry Potter (aiming for profitable rather than anything else today) and we could live where we want. New York looked particularly lovely in Gossip Girl this week :)

Does your post come labelled with contents, or is your Dad just likely to ask/look inside? That's not so much of a problem with me, though someone might ask what I ordered. They're not very likely to actually look, which is good I guess. Just as long as it's all non-suspicious looking packages!

See, I quite like the idea of metropolitan Wales. Mostly because I am shallow about accents ... Is there good theatre in Cardiff? Though I suppose, capital city and so on. Hmmm. I guessing it's a bit cheaper there? or possibly that's just wishful thinking.

Newwww Yooooork. :( Sulk. Though that's still cheaper than London, apparently. Or rather, it's easier to find cheaper places which aren't cardboard boxes.

Not usually - the binder was labelled up for customs and so on but it only said 'clothes'. Mentally hugged the Taiwanese guy for that! But sometimes I just feel bad or squirmy, like I *shouldn't*, you know? I feel a lot of that would be solved by the judicious application of some advanced How To Be Adult classes. :)

*loves* I miss a lot of the same things, and then different things, but same-different, y'know?

Come visit in London this year? I'm going to have a place, just me and one other girl, and it'll be full of cushions and DVDs and fairy lights and books.

*hugs tight* I miss you, too.
