The Social Event Of The Season

[coalescent]

Well, that was fun. If there was some kind of set-up planned, I didn't pick up on it. Catherine (the sister) turns out to be just like Victoria only slightly more so in every respect, which is mildly disconcerting. Mike and Blerina had to leave early to go and check on a friend of theirs they were worried about. And the cake had risen hugely on one side and really not very much at all on the other. And I cut my thumb rather badly.

But overall, I think it was a success. I enjoyed myself, anyway, and it feels somehow appropriate that my last 'social' before leaving Oxford was with Mike and Tom, since they were two of the first proper friends I made here. I'm going to miss this place.

(Oh, and whilst I'm here - killing housemates who insist on being couple-y whilst you're trying to watch TV - that's justifiable homicide, right?)

completely justifiable.

That's what I thought, but it seemed wise to check first. :)

And if I ask them to be quieter they do the "oh, we're so naughty he told us off" thing. This often involves holding each others' lips closed.

*sigh*

I like them and all but damn, they can get on my nerves when they do that.

ugh, couples acting coupley. there's nothing worse, and any couple who acts that way should be ashamed.
how odd does that sound?! :)

Oh, this is no good at all. Can't be having two different anonymous people - it's going to get far too confusing!

so what if those two different people were in fact the same person? (because they were)
shall i have to call you rea boy in every comment, so that you know it's me?

In that case, you're clearly schizophrenic. :-)

And just you remember sax's corollary to trucker's law. That's all I'm saying.

Lady, a team of trained scientists working round-the-clock for ten years probably couldn't figure *you* out.

Did I say scientists? I meant monkeys. Or maybe hamsters...

i view that as a good thing :)
then you go ahead and mention the monkeys and hamsters. which reflects poorly on yourself since you so clearly can't figure me out either. so which are you niall - monkey or hamster? :p

You misspelt 'incredibly frustrating', there. :-P

And obviously I'm a freaky monkey/hamster/scientist hybrid. If I could be bothered to figure out how to do icons, I'd prove it, but I can't, so instead you'll just have to trust me.

No, my incompetence goes deeper than that. It's the 'upload' part that gives me trouble.

holding each others' lips closed?

Shh, I'm trying to repress it.
