... and once again he wastes no time.

Tonight he invited me 'round to his place to watch DVDs "... or other stuff :)", suggesting that I needed to relax from uni and "unload". He even offered to pick me up (and that's the only unintentional pun here), and used both the kiss Wink and kiss emoticon (this is via MSN, btw). If he weren't such a seemingly nice guy, I'd be completely creeped out. Not that I trust him, of course, it's just that he doesn't seem so desperate anymore.

Had an interesting tutorial today for Music and Gender, taking on the roles of composers and musicologists and arguing their thoughts on whether men and women compose music specific to their gender. There were so many different personal pronouns being thrown around it was kinda confusing :P But it was most notable because people were talking to me sociablly and I wasn't a retard!! And all the stuff I was saying academically was good, too :P

I sound so lame.

Guess what? I don't care! :D

because despite my legs absolutely aching for some unknown reason, making the walking a little wonky, I was able to switch off the part of my brain that repeats near-incesantly "oh god, what must they all be thinking?!?!" in a panic-stricken voice, and think about something else. Mostly about how emo I was being last night :P which made me try even harder to not be... well, me. And it worked for the most part.

So tonight I'm happy. Except not so much about the fact that curtis' R4DS doesn't seem to want to accept the games I've loaded onto it. I've little idea why, let alone how to fix it, and I feel just slighty guilty because I'm the one who encouraged him to get the thing, along with Jake.

Bah. It'll sort itself out eventually.
I was totally kick-arse in Music and Gender today. Dr Sun used three of the points I brought up in class, not only saying they were good points, but then agreeing with them and using them as starters for Serious Discussions.

This may seem like a pretty dorky reason to post, but shhhhh! I've been shouted down in class several times, being the only one there to think a certain way about some of the topics and arguments (even once today, but I stood my ground as always), so being comended for my input was pretty damn good. Especially seeing as we've got our first assessment due tomorrow. It's a CD/DVD/Concert/Film review, looking at the (de)construction/performance of gender through music, and I'm doing mine on Pan's Labyrinth. It's supposed to be pretty informal, I've just realised, but I can go through and dumb it down a bit once I've finished. I just felt like posting some of it here... ok, all of it so far. It's about 1000 words of the required 1350/1500, and I've still got some things I want to add about the main theme, but it's nearly there.

Just before I post it, though, I noticed Amy's "Readability Tester" post and thought I'd run my review through it. Apparently, you need to have been formally schooled for about 15.52 years to easily understand it the first time through.

I guess that's about right, though, seeing as I've had 13 years of school and 2 years of university...

Oh, and there are a couple of spoilerish bits, so... you know, beware. I really suggest watching this movie if you can. It is just... wow. Seriously.
