Marie Claire and quiz team shame

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 11:49:41 GMT

I just quoted a trashy pullout from 'Marie Claire' in my essay. Who else gets to quote Marie Claire in their essay? i love my subject....
Anyway, I'm trying out for University Challenge tonight. Wish me luck! This is a sneaky little fixation I'm working on, having sadly been quiz team leader of juniour university challenge for four years and I'll stop now. We were a GOOD team, but RGS guildford always beat us, smarmy bespectacled pre-pubescent bastards that they were.
Going back to essay now. going back to essay now. going back to essay now.

marvellous adventures

Look! I'm really getting the hang of this! And yesterday someone told me how to add people, so I shall be doing that too pretty soon....

Last night I interviewed WILL SELF for the Oxstu, then ate proplus and sat up till one producing 1,500 words of half -decent copy. the chap was woefully late and charmingly self-deprecating, but I'm sure that was all part of the act...anyway, if you can, read the Oxstu. Back in days of yore I was a ruthless left-wing editor-come-tyrant of our school's semi-underground paper, and I MISS it. I just love the whole journalist buzz, I can't explain why. A columnist, a columnist, I'm going to be a columnist!

And even MORE exciting, Cath and me are going to Europe to have MARVELLOUS ADVENTURES.

And I'm in love. With a wonder.full strange young man, with stories, and with my life - the latter being the most masochistic and traumatic relationship by far, of course, but still, hurrah!
This is going to be a much better week than the last few. And it's only Tuesday morning!

I don't put 'Love Laurie,' do I? No, I'm fairly sure I don't....

Why, hello *waves hopefully into the electronic ether*
This is my firstest post on livejournal. See, I'm becoming all technomalogical! (and no, I still haven't worked out how to put the pictures up...)
I've spent an obscene amount of time getting this set up, I really AM going to go and do my Marxist Theory essay now.
