things

did the squash fitness again on friday. didn't feel too bad this time. only my dead leg where tim kneed me the previous night... I had a shit partner though so did a lot of forfeits, including topless pressups which the women loved... We were fucking tired after and of course that session is right over the buttery opening times. I didn't need the macdonalds as badly as i did before but tim and i ended up going to pizza express because we couldn't find a chinese. I swear to god the waitress thought we were gay - we were both in tracksuits and we ordered wine haha. It was good pizza though. She thought i was hot - i managed to get away with ordering a bambinnocino (hot milk for 5 year olds for free). She didn't want to make it but then she saw the cheekbones... ... ... ...
I remember ending up in Giles' room in the end. More free wine. There were some engineers and a scouse (i'm not scouse i'm from blackhpewl) haha. she got the piss ripped into her for real...

My parents came yesterday. It was really cool to be honest, i'd missed them loads. and on top of that they bought me loads of food... I got a goody bag from twink to give to tim which i'll make sure i do right infront of all the squash guys haha. He broke up with esther the other day. seems quite happy about it. i made him ring her haha. Anyway parents. We went to a curryhouse and then went our seperate ways to watch the rugby. After the rugby nick and i played snooker again and then i had a party in my room (which was going to be just me nick and linus, but ended up with engineers and about 5 medics as well). Medics are so fucking cliquey. And they're all going for these inter-medical relationships haha. Ah well they're gonna be together for six years get owned. I had to apologise profusely for the smell - need to sort that out. helme suggested hanging my washing bag on a rope from the window, which i might do. The reality is i don't have the time or washing powder to wash my squash kit daily, and unlike everyone else i don't have a hall/lounge to hide it in. I woke at 8 today (my only day off and i woke at 8) so that mum could pick me up and i went to breakfast at their hotel. It was good/bizarre - we bumped into andy/jackie sykes who we'd known aaaaaages ago and been on holiday with - apparently both their boys are here... anyway they all had coffee while teej and i went swimmming... first swimming in ages it was good. We discussed times. He said he reckoned 2m30 for 5 lengths. When i said i reckoned under a minute he revised his guess to 1m45. I was so not keen for doing it but once i'd put my statement out i guess i had to. It took me 50 seconds. Get owned. We went to tesco and i was gonna buy a microwave and stuff but tubbs bought it all so i've got shitloads of extra kitchen stuff - some not entirely necessary but i can keep it down here for 3 years and it can form the foundations of my life later on...

So yeah, watched some star-wars and then the formula1 (raikonnen yeah boi) and i'm gonna go to the film night in a bit. Avoiding doing biology now, but i'll do it eventually. i'm good like that. gotta go and get washing in a bit as well...

If my cleaner doesn't mop my fucking floor tomorrow i'll be angry. I've purposely brushed monkey-nut-remains alllll over it so she can't avoid it.

It's been so nice here recently. Cloudless skies all day. It's really really cold but it's beautiful. And it's not quite cold enough that it can't be overcome with loads of clothes. i.e. not to the point where i have no circulation in my hands.
So i found an ace sunny bench on saturday and made music outside. It was really good. Andy came over and asked to listen. It was funky house. He claimed to like it and have loads of that kind of music, despite being a blatant metalhead.

Cath is coming on friday. Been looking forward to it since freshers week haha. At least i haven't boxed myself in my room and sat on the phone to her 24/7 like some people have though. That was what i wanted to avoid with the 7/10 thing. Just to be able to talk when either of us want/need. I think it's worked really well. I hope she thinks the same.



Got a threatening squash email today. Essentially they're chopping back the blues squad as people return from placements etc. I have to play Jeff on tuesday as essentially a who-stays-in... :( He's better than i am, but he's injured and i took him to 10-9 the other day. I'd love to win. I can't write down how good winning makes me feel. People must think i'm a twat but it's just part of who i am. Anyway the even if i do beat jeff, it looks like they're cutting two now and two in a couple of weeks, so both tim and i will probably end up with the seconds. Not too happy - i'd get so much better if i could train with the firsts, but as long as i'm playing people who are better than me on a regular basis then i'm happy - i will have to ring mike and jeff and chris on repeated bases. The loss of two training sessions (potentially) gives me time to do some more stuff as well, i hope. I will try and get involved with something else now be it table-tennis or chess or maybe even the badminton squad to be honest. I'd rather do something out of the box though - real tennis maybe or fives... not while jamie plays real tennis though - he's an alright guy but deep down i think he's a cock... haha.
