The warden just told me that I had a bit of sparkle about me. Made my day :3

completely irrelevant: pweeety hands. i’m such a freak, but they are lovely hands. thought you ought to know.
Aww thanks :). I really should take better care of them though, I don’t moisturise them or wear gloves so in about a week’s time when it gets colder they’ll probably drop off haha.
Didn’t even realise that Doctor Who had been beaten to the title of Best Drama or something at the NTAs last night/whenever it was. Apparently it was the first time since 2005. Even funnier though is that it was beaten by Waterloo Road.
Just goes to show what a crock of shite this last series was.

Had haggis for the first time today
thought I would be daring because its Burns Night and they were serving it at tea. It wasn’t bad actually.
Tea was SO GOOD though. People were dressed in tartan, Scottish flags were everywhere, the history of Burns Night and various poems/songs including Auld Lang Syne were laid around. Food was good, there was haggis, Scotch Mince Pie, mashed tatties, bashed neeps and some sort of dumpling...

Just seen Black Swan at the cinema

It was odd but in the same way a small testament to how good that film is.

This week has not been fantastically brilliant
Shit load of work
Stopped seeing the guy I was ‘dating’ (his words not mine) because he got a bit creepy
Everyone very nearly fell out at the beginning of the week
But but but the housing situation is almost sorted (except we still have to find a place to live) and I’ve booked tickets to come home.
So that’s good.
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.

The Film Society showed Shutter Island tonight. It was pretty damn good. Now I’m going to wait until the new episode of Zen comes up on iPlayer so I can swoon over Rufus Sewell, Italy and all things beautiful.
