A stitch in time saves nine

A new revelation

Looking back at older posts i have noticed that i am an observant person, i like to sit and watch people, how do they coordiate themselves within thier own surroundings? a rediculously sociological question but it is a habbit i have always had, even as a young child i watched the bodylanguge of others and perhaps this os one of the reasons im not comfortable with people i know and love sitting close to me, in the car i am conciously aware of how someone rests their head on the seatbelt and how it rubs on thier face slightly, it sometimes stops me from sleeping, combined with my inability to switch off i can be up till late morning. My partner thankfully after six years understands that if he wakes up and im propped up on the pillows with my eyes wide open that im not about to smother him, but am just listening ( i love to listen to his stomach gurgling but i feel thats just plain odd) and thinking.
Because of this i am highly aware of peoples feelings and emotions let alone my own, in conversation with classmate Puy (French for well?) she discussed this habbit to great detail, each time i feel angry (even though it doesnt happen much) i plant something in my garden, my beautiful garden. Its my way of giving away wasteful energy, by the time im done i feel considerably more relaxed, 'why is your garden so nice?'

Ha! Im no Buddhist but i understand that nothing good ever comes from being angry.

The delights of the pub quiz and public relations gone bonkers

As we slip into an English summer (rotate yourself around the shadow of that tree! for the love o' god hurry) I find myself at a loss, summer has such an intensely peculiar effect on people, fulled in the lukewarm eves by intoxicating liquors they stumble around the social circles cracking wise jokes whislt unaware that they are slowly killing themselves. But us Brits do it all in good hope, most of the time anyway and students are certainly no exception to this unwritten rule. A good friend suggested that we journey to a local pub near to my parents house and participate in the quiz. Little did they know that i am HORRIFIC at the humble pub quiz and about as much use as a paper umbrella. To my surprise my friend had donw well! rounding up the troops to attention although only myself and three others actually attempted the quiz, bugger it we came seventh,
('Meat is murder? why have you named Cheryl Cole as a rapist?')
at least we tried. The night was off to a weird start after a brief conversation as to why i wasnt wearing stockings..christ knows why but there u have it. It wasnt until a little later util a certain individuals behaviour got even weirder and he went on to declare (in relation to the recent attack on two twins by a fox) that he would rather ten people died rather than one fox. Admittedly he did have a rather gigantic amount of Jack daniels (eugh!) but he still remained adamant that people were killing the earth and they deserved to die. Im no extremist but i can see his point, to an extent of course, it has become the job of the media now to broadcast high and low that the suburban fox is a vicious killer. Of course if you leave your young children beside its den with a note asking politely 'can you please look after my small uncapable children, much appreciated' it would gladly gobble up your offspring like little red riding hoods younger sister but the point is that urban foxs have nowhere else to go and they are finding new ways to survive in their ever changing surroundings. We should be more curtious and not allow this rare incident to get blown out of proportion.

Think about our lads fighting for the freedom of others instead (if that is actually the real motive but we wont go into that part of politics)

The night ended on a bad note, after some debate as to the welfare of the human race and foxes the chap and my boyfriend started once again to bikker about uni courses and how one was better than the other.

Still i actually managed to get of couple of Merlot 's in so it wasnt so bad : ) even though i didnt get to tlk to some ppl as much as id wanted.
