Quote of the Day - "I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me, they'd think that I'd finally lost it completely" - Radiohead

Ah, why am I starting this so late. Oh well, it's the weekend! By my logic I am allowed to stay up until whenever the hell I feel like going to bed, so that is what I shall do!

I survived my adventure all the way to Bristol and back today! (hurrah) I'm quite proud of myself, going all that way on my own and not getting stabbed/raped/drunk off my face/delete as applicable. ANYWAY, Bristol was alright. I didn't like the campus itself much really (it's all too urban and not very nice to look at) but the chemistry department was very impressive indeed. All shiny new equipment and massive airy buildings. Even though I didn't like the campus as much as the other places I think I will still apply there, as the chemistry bit impressed me so much (also it's ranked so damn highly that if I manage to get a place I think it'll be pretty easy to get a job out of it after). I was routinely very tired throughout the day (I must have taken about a million naps on various trains) but I survived, I think all the coffee I drank saved me in the end. PRAISE THE LORD FOR COFFEE. Actually no, I don't believe in the lord, don't praise him.

Oh man, the trains. I think the train service in this country is in dire need of fixing. I could go on about all the fucking stupid things it includes (there's a long list) but it would take too long. I'll just talk about two things that affected me today. Firstly, the DELAYS. All of them (yes that's right, you heard me correctly) were delayed. I wouldn't mind that much if say just one of them was delayed by a few minutes, but all of my trains?! Come on, you stupid government. What the fuck do you guys do all day anyway, other than argue? The first one was delayed by almost 20 minutes! (how ridiculous is that!) My second point I would like to make (and I'd just like to point out that this isn't true for every station, rather most of them) is that hardly any train stations seem to have bins anywhere. This begs an important question: How the fuck do you guys keep them so damn clean?! There was hardly any litter anywhere as far as I could tell, although I eventually accumulated quite a bit of rubbish (I ended up having eaten and drank quite a lot eventually, but it was a long day so I'm allowed to eat and drink excessively). This made me feel like I was missing out on a trick somewhere. I mean what, are there like invisible bins that I wasn't told about or something? I just don't get it, why don't the people who run these places think of adding bins? I mean, some of these stations are pretty massive with loads of people going in and out all the time. I'd really like to know how they keep them so damn clean, it's very confusing.

When I finally got back (I was away for pretty much 12 hours) I flopped onto the sofa, ate my dinner (yummy fish and jacket potatoes!) and watched Derren Brown on TV. He tried to make everyone watching stick to their seats (quite literally) by playing a film which he had made designed to make people 'stick' to their seats. He did this by using his skills of suggestion and surprisingly it appeared to work on some people. Disappointingly though no one in my family was affected, including me. I wanted to be stuck to my seat! It would have been pretty cool. After that there was the first episode of a new series of Peep Show (!!) which is probably one of my favourite things to ever be on TV ever. It's a ridiculously funny (but also ridiculously cringey) comedy about two loser best friends (they're also complete opposites of each other) who live together. All you British readers will undoubtedly know it, all you non-Britons just trust me in that it is very, very funny.

After that I went to irc and waited for thizzley to appear for about 1 and a half hours. When she turned up it was so worth the wait though. I love her ridiculously a lot. She had a very good reason for being way later than usual anyway, so I don't really mind at all. It was because she has managed to get herself a job! (well an internship anyway, just as good in my opinion) She got it at the exact place she wanted to get it as well, I'm so proud of her! This also means that she is very happy, which obviously makes me a lot happier. So well done thizzley, you did good!

One last thing before I wrap this post up, but it is a very weird thing. I had someone add me on facebook this evening. I had never seen her before in my life, however she said that she had added me after reading (and enjoying) my blog. It was pretty flattering, but seriously, how fucking weird is that...? It was like mindfuckX10000.

My chosen quote for today is a line from one my favourite Radiohead songs, Subterranean Homesick Alien. The quote pretty much sums up perfectly how I feel sometimes when I'm in a particularly apathetic mood and feel alienated from pretty much everyone. Wow, I used a lot of italics today. Not sure why but I also seem to be in a very weird mood indeed. Maybe I'll be more normal tomorrow. Ah, normal. What a horrible word.
