Octave Mirbeau would deem me a goddamn genius...which isn't saying much.

So, I've learned a great deal of completely meaningless information about myself today:

1. Thanks to the University of Cambridge, I could move to London if I really wanted to endure the torture that is the UK.

2. Making a promise not to ever ingest anything parasitic is a virtual impossibility.

3. I can make Aussie Chicken without setting myself ( Read more... )

1. you can finally break out all of your nazi paraphernalia from storage.

2. your leech smoothies highlight this fact.

3. congratulations. just don't put the extinguisher away quite yet.

4. better late than never. welcome to the world of enlightened people.

5. real ninjas aren't annoying. unless, that is, you're the one whose ass is getting kicked. or you're paying.

1. I let my ex-boyfriend take it all with him when I kicked him out

2. My friends didn't go for the leech smoothies as much as I did

3. I didn't say that I could make it without setting anything on fire

4. Been there for a while. I liked Bush for about three weeks, but I was really drunk during that time.

5. Unless that ninja happens to be your friends' boyrfriend who constantly talks about how he's a ninja.

1. bastard.

2. what about the flea-and-tick brownies?

3. "it's not cooked if there hasn't been a fire" is embroidered on your apron for a reason.

4. him too. now the rest of us drink just to cope.

5. if you have to talk about being a ninja, you aren't a ninja. duh.

Okay, should I go on with this one more time?

I will.

1. Exactly.

2. They're still not aware that I put fleas and ticks in their brownies. I can't wait till they find out.

3. I'm such a horrible cook - I don't even have an apron.

4. I'd like to pour alcohol on him and set him on fire.

5. That's exactly what I said, but my comment only inspired him to try and convince me even more.

maybe you should just invite bush into your kitchen when you're cooking him some brownies.

plus, you should look into getting dre into that hogwarts school if you go to cambridge. wizards trump ninjas.

The U.K. is a nice place to visit, but it didn't take long living at Cambridge before I longed for the luxuries of the developed world.

Why do they want to put you in London? Is it an insurance thing - to reduce the fire hazard to their university buildings that they would risk if you actually lived in the town?

I interviewed and applied to Cambridge and Oxford in December and, though I wasn't excepted into Oxford, Cambridge sent me a letter saying that my test scores were adequate to attend for my undergrad studies.

I've been considering moving to London for about seven months now, but decided that I would only seriously consider it if I was accepted to either of the two said universities.

If I did move, however, it wouldn't be until the end of this year because I have to get out of closing on this house and save up a little more money to actually afford London. I've been researching the price of four-bedroom flats there, and it's fucking expensive!!!

There are lots of other minor details to work out as well, such as Draven and school, finding a job there, affording Cambridge, etc.

It's all very complicated and will probably never happen. We'll see.

Yeah, London rents are fucking expensive, that's true. Not to mention food, booze, and Oxbridge tuition.

Cambridge is about a fifty-five minute train ride from King's Cross station in London, not a terrible commute by some standards, but I do remember an old by-law about students being required to live within x miles of Great St. Mary's Church, located roughly in the centre of Cambridge. London is way outside that limit. Actually, there's an entire college outside the stated limit, but I guess the university allowed its students a special exemption.

Hey, if you went, which college would it be?

It would be Cambridge, but I really wanted to go to Oxford.

I actually have a good friend who calls me her Ninja because I can vanish in a club, find anyone I want, and vanish yet again without a trace.

I like to pretend that I'm a ninja sometimes, but I always end up looking like slightly retarded.
