Hmm
Well, it's my 22nd Birthday today - it's been good so far, got presents very early this morning before coming to work. Was in too much of a rush to have a chance to try out my Dad's present - the only thing I'd actually asked for - a mini radio for listening to on the train. Hmm, that's something I miss about childhood - I miss birthdays being exciting the way there were when I was about six or seven.
Edit Snip so I can make this public.
Will someone please put me out of my misery and explain where 'All your base belong to us' comes from/why it's funny?
Rediscovered Ox Rom yesterday - had been playing about looking at friends of friends pages and saw someone had linked to it - logged back in and rediscovered precisely why I hate/love it. It's horribly superficial, but it is nice to log in somewhere and have people want to talk to you - it's ego boosting - see, I said this was very superficial. I think that's perhaps why I used it so much during finals last year - I needed to think there were people who cared about me (well that and my general attempts to do everything I could to avoid work). But I hate it, because I feel like I'm being rude all the time - people message me, and I can't reply fast enough to keep up - I get overwhelmed with messages, and then log out, ignoring people, which is rude, but there's not much I can do about it, because as soon as I log in, more people start messaging me! I'm sure that on occassion I tried logging in in the early hours of the morning in the hope that there wouldn't be anyone about - unfortunately essay crises being what they are, even that didn't help.
I'm also in the middle of a feeling completely inadequate phase (inter alia, induced by the lack of books I've read on that books lemming, and my inability to name flowers/trees): despite being an Oxford graduate there's still a hell of a lot that I ought to know, but don't. Ahh well, google's my friend.
