My back hurts from sitting all stiff and funny, but my cello technique is definitely improving :)

Plan for tonight:
Try not to fall asleep on my desk. Yup, that’s pretty much it.
I was meant to be doing some dissertation work, but now I’m a bit tiddly from a couple of celebratory cocktails (72, aka a First in a presentation I gave today) so I don’t know if that might be a bad idea? Haha. I’ll give it a go, we’ll see.
If that fails, Naomi’s got me thinking about hairstyles and such now, so that might make for an interesting evening’s research :)
I just remembered that I still need to do a handout after I finish my powerpoint.
SHOOT ME. SHOOT ME NOW.
Slowly but surely, it’s getting there. But, someone remind me why I came to university again?
Just over 8 weeks to go though, only one of which is actually taught, and four of which are Easter break. Home stretch :D
Also, I seem to have forgotten what time Antony said he was getting home. For all I know he could be two hours late and under a bus somewhere. But it’s more likely that he’s still at band and I am being overly dramatic. That’s the general way of things.
I'm dying a slow French cinema related death.
Cut yours shorter then? And give Antony a set of extensions for his birthday...? ;)
The extensions might be a plan ;) or I’ll just figure out something super awesome to do with my hair to differentiate!
It doesn't look too bad, makes me look like I've got some African/Eastern blood in me. Specially teamed with Nefertiti eyeliner. But I wanted big loose bouncy curls :/ Me so demanding.
Just cut your hair shorter than his...? Or wait for his to grow more?
Oh that’s alright then, I thought you meant like SERIOUS nineties perm, the sort you’d see on scary women doing aerobics in spandex :P Eastern-style curly hair is all good.
I know but I am IMPATIENT :P Also entirely indecisive. What I really need is hair that becomes shorter or longer on demand. That’s do me nicely.
Dude I am totally spamming MYSELF about my hair, it's all good, haha. Not only is my hair not that long, my perm is nowhere near that awesome either. It still looks like super noodles cause we only did it yesterday... 90s supernoodle curly perm. :(
On no, not 90s perm :( I guess you can just be retro until it settles down heh. This is one of the joys of having naturally wavy/curly hair… even if it only does what’s it’s told once in a blue moon :/
At least you have an idea of where you’re heading, hair-wise ;) I’m in a quandry about mine. The colour I’ve been dyeing it has faded to a really nice lightish auburn, but now I have epic roots hah. Trying to decide what colour to go next. And I don’t know whether to cut it again or not, because it looks nice short and curly but Anton’s growing out his hair again and I’m worried about having matching hair haha. Hair, why so awkward?!
Seriously?
I swear, if I get any more tired I might just give up, keel over and die right here. I don’t actually remember the last time I felt awake and well-rested. Wtf, body? I’m 21, I eat well and I don’t even have to do a million early mornings yet. So why am I tired all the fucking time?
I have a presentation tomorrow at midday, so somehow I doubt I’ll be getting a good night’s sleep tonight. I’ll probably wake up muttering about “mothers and vamps” and “vedettes” at some ungodly hour.
Erg. Someone bring me a caramel latte.
THEY'RE going THERE with THEIR friends. It's called grammar. Use it.
as-the-days-go-bythenightsonfire:
Dont you just love when people give a fuck?
Nope.
It’s called spelling, not grammar.
Actually it’s technically both.
“
The first is that true gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.” My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality - my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

I find myself shocked when women make up more then 1/3 of reoccurring characters :/

this quote is so amazing omgggggg
(via stfufauxminists)
It amazes me that a married woman’s name actually has anything to do with equality. My mum kept her surname when she married my dad purely because she didn’t like the way her first name sounded with his surname. I have his surname, but hers as one of my middle names. When Antony and I get round to getting married I plan to take his name because… idek, it feels right. But it wouldn’t be a problem if I wanted to keep mine; he was surprised when I said I didn’t even want a double-barrelled name. It’s sad that apparently in certain social stratas this has the remotest thing to do with sexism.
I have eaten an entire half of trifle, watched four babies being born and giggled at the IT Crowd for an hour. I guess that means it’s back to this interminable reading then.
I am currently having to use Google Translate to read this article, because Guy Austin is a bastard and doesn’t translate his quotes for those of us who do not speak French. This is making the whole research-process a bit long winded. But it’s ok because I’m making trifle and it’s almost time for the baby programme (aka One Born Every Minute.) :D
The business that you're starting, are you going to be posting the completed link on your Tumblr?
Cause I've seen your cakes, and I'd definitely be a customer, so I'm just curious so I know when to order :D, x.
Oh don’t worry, when it’s all up and running there will be links everywhere. Word of mouth (and internet) is where it’s at ;) x
University fees disaster →
bbc.co.uk
So the government’s warnings of universities only being allowed to charge top-end fees in ‘exceptional circumstances’ has really been heeded hasn’t it? Though I suppose when these universities have their funding slashed they don’t have much choice. Nice work.
I’m exhausted but I don’t want to go to bed and I have too much work and too little inspiration and I had to wash my hair twice because the first time I used some posh shampoo and conditioner but it was TOO posh and it really perfumey and I hate smelling perfumey things on my skin too strongly and it gave me a headache so I had to wash it again with my cheapo Alberto Balsam stuff which is about a quid from Tesco and I fail and being a girly girl and now my pillow will be all damp when I do actually go to bed and I think that maybe I’m getting poorly again and it’s a pain and I don’t like Prince but Anton keeps playing Prince and did I mention that I’m TIRED but I’m having hot chocolate made for me and it will have mini marshmallows in it so that’s ok and then I’m going to go to bed and it’s going to be amaze.
(I’ve definitely gone wrong this time.)
