AGGHHHHHH.
It's as if my university wants me to either fail my course or have a nervous breakdown.
The first day back is always stressful, but today i learned that now one of our 3 tutorials a term will now be a group tutorial. Which for me is a complete horror, i can't talk in front of people! I find my one-to-one tutorials scary enough, without having to talk about my work to peers as well.
Then i found out that i'm in studio C this year, which was a bit annoying as i wanted to be in A or B (which are on the second floor) and then, having seen studio c i feel even worse. The tutors go around before students are in and divide the studios into spaces for either the second or third years, we're meant to get priority with the bigger spaces with better light and so on. But all of the third year spaces are just walls! I need a partially enclosed space because i always decorate my walls, but there was only one third year space like that and Bryony had already taken it. And all of the second years had already been in and stolen spaces. So i had to move a second years stuff out of a good little cubby bit (which is way smaller than a third year should have, but still) and just leave him/her a note saying that i need an enclosed space so i had to take it. I'm absolutely terrified. I hate doing anything like that! I don't want to upset anyone in anyway and i just know when i return back later they'll probably just have put their stuff back and then i have no idea what i can do.
Also i'm going to have to write Dereck a note about not being able to do my presentation and it's all just too much.
Also i told livejournal to disable comments to my last entry, and it didn't! So now i feel all foolish and pissed off. |

bc i might forget
You and I
by Ingrid Michaelson (duet with Mraz on Germany tour)
don't you worry there my honey
we might not have any money
but we've got our love to pay the bills
baby i think you're cute and funny
maybe i wanna do what bunnies do with you if you know what i mean
oh, let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of france
let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
let's get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
from way up there
you and i, you and i
well, you might be a bit confused
and you might be a little bit bruised
but baby how we spoon like no one else
i will help you read those books
if you will soothe my worried looks
and we will put the lonesome on the shelf
dear future boyfriend
where art thou when i find cute songs like this to share with!

something in the air
i've witnessed three fights over the last two days.
gogo danced at Glamdammit last nite...
a group of yuppie drunks got out of hand and i had to have the bouncer come regulate on their asses (one of the guys tried to stick his hand down my ass crack while giving me a dollar, his friend slapped my ass when i bent to fix my boot, one of their friends tried to convince us to give them lap dances, and one of the guys was taking "upskirt" video of the other gogo).
later on i told the bouncers to throw out a random bar goer when he tried to choke another guy he caught taking things out of his girl's purse...and then on the subway after the party a group of NYU hipster wannabes started shit with this ghetto dude across the platform, who promptly threatened them, came over to their side and began to instigate a fight...i managed to find the transit police and tell them what was going on, but i hope the douchebags got what was coming to them...
had a row with my mom about my burlesque performances.
she still thinks it's "stripping" and even went as far to say that she believes most of the people involved in the scene are high school dropouts and have "no other options".
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!
and to top it all off, i told Nathan i was done with it...which i'm not really sure i am (and he was not happy)...i just don't know what to do with the whole situation.
ANYWAY.
here's the flier for tomorrow's Original Cyn performance:
it'll be awesome, i promise.

So I have decided my penance for wasting two days of a long weekend is to spend the other day cleaning. But I've reversed the order, I started with what I normally finish with and that's the washing up.....I hate washing up. Especially when we've been lazy and used evry plate in the house rather than wash up, but it is done now.
The Big Clean:
- washing up
- laundry
- general tidy up of lounge room
- general tidy up of bedroom
- put away dvd's and cd's
- general tidy up of pool room
- put away clean laundry from last week
- make the bed (it's a water bed it deserves it's own line)
- clean out pantry and get rid of anything with moth larve in it
- put out the rubbish and recyling
- bleach the fuck out of the bath room
- vacuum
- mop
- start sorting grumpy's shit out Ah blessed are the big plastic storage boxes
- clean me
But first coffee and a sit down :)
Second coffee and a fair bit done.
Delayed the lounge room as Grumpy has his computer bits every where...but they're in danger of being cleaned up.
The pantry took longer and we now have an empty shelf, threw out everything in cardboard cos that's where the moths were highest in concentration.....I'll beat these little fuckers!
Now to wait till Grumpy heads out and to vacuum the shit of the place and mop the kitchen floor
PHEW!
Now there's just me to clean. The fridge can wait till bin night :)
DONE! Now to cook dinner and start all over again :P |

Today Lyd, Matt and I travelled up to Gants Hill to pick up Winkle Tonker the ferret. She's the most beautiful squirmy slippy belipper ever. I just want to twist her ultra-maleable body though.
Someone on etsy is baffling me so much. She bought something, then asked if she could send me cash or a postal order, i said no, i only take paypal or personal cheque. Then she said she'd paypal me tomorrow, so i said that was fine. Then she sent this:
'i only just re registered new bank details with pay pal.had a look at yr website, and i dont know if to do one.im on facebook, ive alot my stuff on there my fashion designs ect, ive been after a catsuite pattern an was glad to buy yrs as most are in usa and take ages to arrivesue'
i have no idea what she's talking about about my website and things. I don't know if she's asking me questions or wants a reply or what. Confusion.
Waaah college begins tomorrow and i don't want to go. However i will be going up to brighton on tuesday, so really i shouldn't whinge, just cringe at what an appalling student i am.

Last night i went to see Mikey play with his new little band consisting of Mikey Art Brut and Dom Pop Art, and it was all very nice and good except i was in a huge stress and missed their first half because i somehow got lost on the way to the venue.
Afterwards i watched The Real Tuesday Weld who were sometimes very good but got a bit samey after a while. Still what's his names voice sounded a lot better than on record i think. Also somewhat spoiled by a (i assume) drunken woman who came up and grabbed me and tried to make me dance with her. Being a little shyling i nearly died and just looked at my feet and tried to mumble excuses until finally she let go of me.
Finally i actually spoke to Dom pop Art who is one of the people i see fairly often but have never been introduced to. He was lovely. Mikey seems to attract a lot of really lovely people around him.
Then i chatted to Mikey and Simon Breed for a long while. Unfortunately due to being so very socially inadequate i can never function properly in conversations with more than one person, unless i am inebriated, or i know the people involved really really well. So while Simon and Mikey chatted animatedly about the battle of Britain museum and Simon's Grandma and so on, i just stood and smiled and listened silently for probably 20 minutes. I think Mikey was a bit concerned as he kept looking at me as if to check i was alright. Sigh. I just can never think of anything to say, and when i do i don't have the ability to cut into slots of silence cause i fear interrupting people. So i figure it's better just to leave people who can talk properly to carry out the conversation, and i'll just listen and have a giggle.
But i can cope when i'm one-on-one cause then it's up to me to fill in the silences and just talk complete nonsense most of the time. Still me and Simon made up a little song about faulty shoes and i tried to ease him of his fears of growing bald because he's so tall noone will notice. I like talking to him lots because he makes me feel like a little delicate person when really i'm big and gallumphing.
I walked with them to the tube and it only took about 5 minutes, whereas on my own it had taken over 20 because somehow i got lost in the incredibly easy route from tube to Brady centre. Simon said something about how i was eclipsing them because if people looked at us they wouldn't see their inner glamour, just a punch-and-judy looking girl with two RAFish older chaps, but really i think the overall look of us as a trio would have been superb. What with Mikey's little pencil moustache and Simon's suit and height, and both carrying instruments while i swanned around in my red and white striped satin like an albino thundercat.
Then on the tube home some man caught my eye and started grinning at me all broadly for some reason, so i smiled back. And then later he winked at me!! It was so very odd and made me all pleased. Missed connections here i come!
Ross Lee's Ghoulies is quality saturday morning childrens telly. Anything featuring a thirty-something man in a terrible wig covering his face and rice and saying 'little maggoty face, little maggoty face' repeatedly is ok by me. Also sometimes he really looks like he's walking around with Mikey's face on, which is disconcerting. And phwoar does he ever have twiggy arms and legs.

its so much more work to be rude than nice
hey gang,
so, tonite was interesting. I had a gig at Ace of clubs in Manhattan, dancing for a band I've worked with before.
afterward I stopped by TRASH! at 40 Ave C to see Jess and several friends who were already there...
this is where things get interesting.
20 minutes after arrival, I accompanied one of my gays outside for a cigarette break, during which he attempted to make conversation with a small group of "hipsters" standing nearby. instead of being welcoming, the group of 19 year old girls instead insulted him, and me, with several petty comments, then went inside. angry, I approached them and asked they apologize for their unprovoked behavior and instead they again insulted me in turn, ganged up on me, and refused to take responsibility for what they'd said.
now, normally I wouldn't be so aggressive toward something like this, but when someone is actively nasty, and refuses to at least acknowledge that they've hurt someone else, even unintentionally, I do get angry. I did inform one of their friends that, especially at these parties, you never know who you're talking to, which can turn out to be a big deal. truth be told, had I wanted, I could have had them thrown out that first moment, with much drama.
trust if I ever see them again, it'll happen.
later in the nite I found out they were harassing some other random girl.
I guess I just don't understand what makes one person think they're so much better than another that they can approach a total stranger, insult them, and walk off like nothing happened.
call me crazy...

Peep peep peep! Recently, I've had the urge to go out and meet new people. But when will I find the time? I want to socialize and meet new friendly folks. I love learning people stories and figuring out what they are about. I need to start doing more outside of school and work. I'm going to make that happen this month. Happy October!

 “the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’” - Jack Kerouac, On The Road One of the COOLEST tattoos I've ever heard of.
