And with all the excitement and mystery of the episode there was really only one thing I kept thinking about...
( Spoilers for everything ever )
Argh! Is it tomorrow yet?!
OMG
OMG
I am back from not posting, in my defense I was on holiday and only really got to lurk about on LiveJournal when I was bothered enough to cart my laptop all the way over to the bar for the free wi-fi. Even then, I only had however long my battery decided to last.
It was just a typical familiy holiday really, nothing too special, I suppose. Nothing too extravagent. Although I did buy myself some amazing Ray-Ban Wayfarers (my mum was so envious she bought herself a pair) and a bottle of Tom Ford Black Orchid perfume for only £48 (I nearly died of shock when i saw it reduced in the House of Fraser). And Pop-Tarts. I also bought Pop-Tarts.
I did buy Anneke Wills' autobiography at long last and the Marco Polo novelisation (well, I'll certainly never be able to watch it) from the Cardiff Doctor Who exhibition shop. I am terribly exciting. But I spent the rest of the holiday paddling in the sea and bobbing about in the pool. There was also the Banksy exhibition at Bristol City Museum, that was terrific, its on til August, I'd recommend going.
What else?
Inland Revenue has been over taxing me, I had no idea until my mum looked at P60, but I called them today and they're looking into it. Yes. I will also pop over to York's Inquiry Office. But using the student tax calculator on their website, they owe me about £500. Fantastic! And there should be a cheque for me from my bond from my old house. Money is good as of right about now.
Been looking into what I would need to own a pet pig, and good Lord, the amount of forms I'd have to fil in is outrageous... I'll wait til I'm a proper adult. With a proper garden. I'd call my piggy Elvis.

So I went and bought a new laptop anyway. Its a Dell and its red! Red! I love red! I have to laugh at the salesman, he was all "it comes in red and pink!" "Omg! Red!" Yeah, I'm slightly worried that the fact its red sold it to me.
I'm so easy, clearly.
But I did manage to get some expensive anti-virus software half price due to my mad haggling skills (hardly, it was mostly myself going "well, why would I pay for that when I get AVG which works perfectly fine for free?".) I'm going to use it on the house PC, because that's always getting itself infected.
My impulsive spending aside, I tried to hand in an essay today. But its Bank Holiday Monday isn't it? So the Theology Office was shut :( Whatever, I emailed to my lecturer and will just give it in in person tomorrow.
Nevermind that, here the concluding paragraph to my 'Theological themes in Doctor Who' essay.
Perhaps, however, we are only seeing these theological themes in Doctor Who because we simply want to, when really its nothing more than family teatime entertainment, to quote the Eighth incarnation of the Doctor; “I love humans, always seeing patterns in things that aren't there”.
happy
I'm looking for a new laptop, I usually just go for Acers but I can't find one I like for cheap enough. So what other laptop brands are any good? Dell? HP? Toshiba? I have no idea. But I have found a really cheap (and red!) Dell, but will it be any good? I dunno.
Do not suggest anything by Apple, because I'm not a sell-out. Although, I did just recieve a phone call from my mum going 'JADE. I'M GOING TO BUY AN IPHONE". Good for you, Mummy, good for you.
Internet is a go!
I more or less marched into Currys after my 'lecture' and bought the cheapest router I could find. Which is the exact same router David had bought. Good times, good times.
Though I did just fail an essay, so er, yeah. Fail.
Now I just need to play that always fun game of internet catchup *sigh*. So if there's anything you want me to read, just tell me.
I'm also really pleased with the response from my H&M complaining. Awesome.
accomplished
Still no internet, but what else is new?
Instead, I'm going to sit here and complain about H&M. Or more specifically H&M's dress sizes.
I'm going to go straight to the point, I'm usually a size 14, let's face that hardly makes me morbidly obese, does it? But can I fit into anything that's a size 14 in H&M? No.
How about size 16? No.
What about size 18? More or less, actually. But I'd have to wear a size 20 if I want to fit in a pair of their jeans. I'm just glad that my self-esteem hasn't been shot to pieces by this.
But then when looking at a jumper that was only available in either a XS or a S, the Small looked absolutely huge, so I tried it on and it was fine. Wait, what? I can't imagine how big an actual L would be. So I'm apparently a size 20 but the S fits fine.
And yet, I seem to be the only person affected by this, everyone else I know doesn't seem to have this problem at all. Its absolutely baffling. I reckon its actually my bodyshape that H&M apparently don't cater for. Yeah, probably, especially when I remember that when trying on a pair of size 16 jeans, I couldn't get them past my knees.
Argh! The mind boggles.
I try to avoid H&M usually, unless I want sunglasses or other accessories because they don't usually not fit.
Now, I'm going to go home and sort out my wardrobe into 'keep', 'get rid' and 'I don't quite fit into these just yet, so I'm going to lose lots of weight, well that's the plan anyway'.
ALSO. I HATE STUDENT FINANCE. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO LOG IN YE
