To explain

Thanks lovelies (even the ones who were cruel). I'd reply to you all but I'm still computerless writing this in the library between lectures looking over my shoulder.

Should I go to the LGBT society meeting today, even though I went to their thing at the student union on Thursday and fell over?

* Yes\n* No\n* Oh god I feel so embarrassed\n* By the way I actually fell over twice\n* I wasn't even drunk\n* Although as I was dancing and so it might have looked that way\n* I basically can't think about it without dying inside\n* By the way I've moved out now, but I'm writing this at my parent's house since I have no internet at home\n* Er how am I going to afford living in London?\n* Do you think everyone I've met so far hates me?\n* What about my housemates?\n* I've been out most nights since I moved in\n* With this lad of my course\n* Who's gay and nice and helpful and Hungarian\n* Also KD came round and wouldn't eat the bacon in the pasta Tom cooked\n* Because he used to be a Muslim\n* What shall I do?\n* \n* \n* \n

"So" says my mother, "Were you brave enough to join the LGBT society?"

Mother, you have birthed a coward. I say. I haven't moved out yet, problems with the idiot estate agents. Although by convention the 'idiot' in estate agent is generally silent. Do other countries loathe estate agents too?

I saw AC and CA today for the first time in a long time. Lunch had the feeling of a last supper. I squashed my feeling of being left out when I found out they'd been out with MT, CA's fiance, the night before. I couldn't have afforded it anyway.

So I have somewhere to live (almost). And two housemates who are seemingly not psycho. And another housemate who is from Shropshire. She might be psycho, but none of us have met her. She's in Shropshire.

Now I just have to work out how I'm going to afford live there.

Oh god, money!

I'm going to be completely skint. I really do like money. If only I just had a little bit more of it.

"I'm a 19 year old girl about to start my first year of BA History at Goldsmiths, I like music, books etc and I can cook!"

How asinine is that?

It gets more asinine the more you type it out and send it to strangers.

I was going to write last night- when, even several hours after the dive, my body was still remembering the motion of the boat and the water and so when I closed my eyes the world rocked the way it does when you are pleasantly, but not yet utterly drunk.

I have never been a fearless flyer. To be honest, my parents said to me at an impressionable age, you're more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than in the air.

As a result I've always veiwed journeys to airports as particularly perilous.

It's been close. July, not even a particularly hot July, but everyone has slowed down, the days have the tiring texture of softening butter.
People are falling asleep at strange moments. It's not even been hot, just warm. England can't cope with weather. Any weather. People and dogs all have the same burdened expression. Yet more weather and the only thing for it is to talk about it.

Back from Italy.

Lake trout tastes the way swimming is at 6.00am in fresh water. The water smells of earth, skin smells of the water. The mountains are doubled.

I'm tanned, I look well, I have a great smile.

Goodness, exams have ended, purdah has ended. But I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go, since everyone I know seems to be travelling. I go to Italy quite soon though, once I get round to booking my flights. I'm still not sure where I'm going.

Also, should I buy a spinning wheel?

God I'm tired. I haven't been sleeping well and I'm getting headaches. I am so tired my eyes are small and my face is puffy.

Ooh the police, the police are here. Downstairs, because there was an assault last night and did we hear anything?

In true style of school fetes and English summertime in general Saturday, when it mattered, the weather was grim, on Sunday the weather was fine.
