Seriously i am listening to some old, old music nowadays. If i end up like my dad listening to wagner and refering to opera as the ultimate artform then someone shoot me now.
In whats becoming an irritating tradition i will now waste time that should be spent on my history coursework, complaining about my history coursework.
well thats enough time wasted.
In other news still need something to do on New Years eve, time to beg me thinks.

Is it illegal to kill someone for ruining Christmas
You see I'm coming round to that way of thinking.
Let me explain, Christmas had preceded as usual, Xmas eve fight between parents, problems resolved through a good nights sleep, heavily buttered toast and bucks fizz. Then came the massive dinner. Very good stuff, highlights include sausage stuffing, cauliflower cheese and my sisters attempt at bread sauce (milk with onion lumps in).
Understandable everyone was a bit stuffed and some members of the family went for naps. So we put off present unwrapping. This would prove to be a flawed plan as my sister then revealed she was going out for the evening and since the aforementioned fourth family member was asleep we would not be able to open them till she got back. No matter we thought, it will make boxing day something more than the day after Christmas, we were going to see Sherlock Holmes as well.
Oh well, i could wait. Especially with some 21 year crazy 40% dutch drink in my belly.
As I'm sure you've guessed it didn't work out that way. Oh no indeed, it is currently 23:28 and i have only opened two presents. One of which was two magazines produced by the met office (My mothers mother has a peculiar attitudes to gifts).
I shall attempt to sleep now, though the incredibles on iplayer is helping.

"All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so."
So i have't blogged in 11 days. Lets take a quick look at my diary to see what i've been up to.
University stuff: 4 out of 5 have responded, 3 with invites to open days, 2 requiring informal interviews and one straight offer. Unfortunatly my top choice still has not replied and the application tracker thing on there website currently has it stuck in limbo between department and college.
Oh well as long as i get one offer i'm happy.
What else happened. I went to one of the informal interviews and once again showed myself that i should not be alowed to speak to people i havn't known for a year. I frequently get completely toungue tied infront of people that make decisions or that i actually want to impress.
So its Christmas tomorrow. Unfortunatly my families track record of merry christmas's without ending up in 4 different rooms is not great. So we shall see.

Nicknames
I pick them up like a bad cold.
It started so simply with my sister calling me poo, ha ha big yucks all around.
Then in primary school what was initially just because there were two people with my first name soon became a phrase "Theres no nerd like Snownerd." In the long run i think i win that one cause I'm the only one of that year (bar my namesake) still in full time education.
More recently the fact that if you swap the first letter of my first name with the first letter of my second name it becomes Sue, this later became Susan, then Mr Susan (which i kinda liked BTW) and now the latest incarnation originated from this sketch.
I'm not sure whether to be flattered or irritated, i guess i could settle for flarritated. Silly Saboo that's not a word, whatever were you thinking.
incidentally my two favourite moments in Firefly occur in the first episode,
"I believe that women is planning to kill me again"
and of course when he shoots that guy. Total Badass!

Life is Good
From a day which started with me yawning constantly has come to me giggling a bit too much. Well mentally giggling, in reality me giggling sounds fairly evil.
In other news we now have a Christmas Tree now the reason i have included one more capital than necessary is because its a mahussive tree. But more important than its size was the sense of childlike amusement it caused in me. I have officially reached the stage in winter where i start to like Christmas songs. Which for those who have endured my constant moaning in an attempt to drown out bells will come as a welcome relief.
Update....
Just came back from 6th Form open evening having successfully spelt CHEMISTRY out of red and green slime. So job well done i think
Oh and how could i forget, I'm fucking 18 tomorrow. Looking forward to this one, need to make it special because from this point onwards it becomes an inevitable downwards spiral towards death.
Now I don't like to end on a down note so ill leave you with this...
OK i meant to find the mighty boosh one but couldn't find it so your stuck with the original.

In the tradition of announcing these things on blogger first, consider this a formal invite (seriously entrance will only be allowed with copy of this blog.)
Twill be Pizza Express 7-8ish not sure yet, will get a feel for the numbers tomorrow and book then.
So let me know if you want to come.

Onion metaphors
My favourite thing at the moment is layers of discovery.
Example: Halo2/Halo3 leads to discovery of redvsblue.com - leads to forum talk about firefly - leads to Joss Whedon/Nathon fillion obsession - leads to Dr horribles sing along blog - leads to Felicia day - leads to The Guild web series. Now that is a fucking onion metaphor.
Most recent example/inspiration for blog: Never mind the buzz cocks with that blur guy - download some blur - rediscovery of Gorilaz (childhood favourite)
However as the exception that proves the rule (makes no sense that)
Chemistry is taught in layers of irritation.
Example: This rule if true for all these thingies (Scientific!)-half true-not even close to true yet without it nothing works.
OK so maybe slight exaggeration on the last one.
On the lighter side got home last night at 3am after agreeing to the awesome idea of watching the lord of the rings trilogy:EXTENDED (WOOT) edition. Worth it but am now quite tired and have to pieces of coursework to do, which is proving difficult due to almost constant power cuts.
Remember kids have fun with it!
