Limbo

Title is not my best, limbo is an adequate description of the position i am currently in. But then if there was a single word to describe this then there would be no point in writing this.

As we speak i am exactly 3 weeks away from my first day at university, what i should be doing at this point is getting very excited, using the magic of the web to be overly friendly to strangers who are going to the same uni, but instead I'm sitting, waiting to find out if i can actually stay anywhere near the university or whether I'm gonna have to stay in Coventry, which would suck, no offence Coventry Uni students (all one of you :), well apart from Clarkson, clever nickname isn't it?) but I was really looking forward to a campus uni, my sister can't stop raving about hers. And having to do the whole bus commute thing will suck.

To continue the "its nearly uni time" theme, has anyone elses parents/guardians/pets started behaving rather oddly. My mother in particular has been hilarious/irritating so far. First there was the whole, the cat is really gonna miss you, what ever will she do etc. When in reality my cat will undoubtedly be happier when she doesn't have to leave my bed to allow me to sleep occasionally. Rather more recently shes been buying stuff so i can eat. This in its self is not weird, but I'm pretty sure i have every possible piece of kitchen equipment from lemon zestor to that thing you use to disembowel shellfish. I don't even like much shell fish.

My dads method although slightly more cool because it involves technology is equally a wee bit over the top. I've had a desktop all my life and have been looking forward to getting a laptop for uni. So I had to make the choice everyone makes between being butt raped by bill gates and the other Microsoft henchmen of Dell and other things, or the slightly prettier and shinier with those awesome shops of theres where the border between customer/sales assistant and insufferable jackass is blurred. The ultimate comparison of mac and PC is far more like comparing escorts with street corner hookers, the escort maybe prettier but costs far more and is equally degrading. I'd go with Linux but i actually like talking to people and would like to carry on. Ye so i am now Steve jobs bitch, but he treats me well, buys me nice things and only beats me when i really deserve it.

OK wittered on there for a bit, so the weird thing my dad bought me is this pen with special paper. So when u right on it and press record (the record button is on the paper along with other features) what ever u write and say at the same time can be put on ur computer or played back on the pen. So say in a lecture you weren't sure what note u made was about, you look it up and here the exact words the lecturer used. Now it sounds cool and is really easy to use (you can also play the piano on it) but I'm gonna look fairly silly if my pen start talking out loud mid lecture
in a very strong American accent BTW.
