About me

Awkward

  • When my clothes match the furniture I'm sitting on.  
  • The amount of dreams I've been having about muggers, rapists, and serial killers. And I'm not even watching Law and Order: SVU!  What is my subconscious trying to tell/warn me about?!
  • The construction workers standing RIGHT OUTSIDE my open window, having a smoke while I sit at my desk like three feet away.  Not only is it incredibly awkward, but now my room smells like cigarettes.
  • Grinning profusely at someone I thought was my friend only to realize that it was some strange girl who now thinks I'm crazy.
  • My constant desire to go frolicking in the gorgeous daffodil fields that surround my college. I'm not kidding, I must have brought it up about ten times in the past week.  And I used the word "frolic" every time. Clearly this is an unfulfilled passion of mine that my friends are just getting here all about now that spring has arrived.
  • Bruising my tailbone whilst cantering.  Okay, I'm not positive it's bruised (it sure feels like it) and it's a bit lower than my tailbone (aka my butt), but it's still dreadful.  I am now pretty much incapable of all of the following: sleeping on my back, sitting in chairs, walking at speeds faster than the elderly, bending for anything lower than my waist.  I imagine this is what it's like being crippled AND pregnant at the same time, only without the excuse for bodily malfunction.  I have no idea how long it's going to take to heal, but my horse riding lesson tomorrow should be interesting (and by interesting I mean horribly painful).


Awesome
  • Tapas. Because I can never decide what I want to eat. And now I don't have to.  "One of everything, please!"
  • Students from our sister college, Balliol, Oxford came to visit.  We had a wonderful dinner in Hall and a rather crazy night out on the town.  Can't wait to visit them in May!
  • Scene carding a new screenplay.  It just came to me in a  rush and I had to run over to Ryman to buy notecards so I could plan it out.  Got the opening scenes worked out at Nero over a cup of tea.  Lovely!
  • Beautiful spring flowers blooming all over the place, and they're my favorite too (daffodils)!  Makes me sooo happy and frolicky-minded (totally a word, by the way).
  • Cheese shopping with my friend.  We've been planning a trip to the Cambridge Cheese Market for AGES.  Yes, this is what we do for fun in England.
  • End of term!  Yay!  Done with lectures and classes and supervisions!  Still have a ton of reading and revision work to do over the break, but the key words here are OVER THE BREAK.  
  • And since I mentioned Moriarty last week, guess what my London friend showed me!  Below is a picture of me visiting the house that stands in for 221B Baker Street on BBC show Sherlock.  Fan girl squealing and photo-taking ensued, as expected.

So, dear reader, please leave a comment below.  Any Fruedian commentary on my dreams?  Suggestions for healing a bruised tailbone?  Or, if you'd like, you may go on an excited rant about one of the following: a.) Sherlock, b.) frolicking, or c.) Sherlock frolicking.

  1. the thought of sherlock frolicking through a field of daffodils definitely made me laugh out loud. =)

  2. Hm, I suggest sitting on your butt rather than tail bone. It's hard to explain...I was yelled at for not sitting on my butt for the majority of my lifetime...I finally get how to do it, now that I don't ride anymore. Ibuprofen!
