Return of the Stalker Matt...

... 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.

Delayed slightly due to Self-Enforced Internetlessness

My cousin got engaged last Friday! WOOT! We all love Peter XD Apparently my sister knew it was going to happen for a while now, but didn't say anything to us. Or me. Boooooo. So much for all them DnMs :P Peter had been going in to her store for about a month or more saying it'd happen soon, it'll happen. He bought the ring near her store, and he's always checked in on Kate when he's been in the area, so it makes sense that she was one of the first to know. The only bad thing is the date of the engagement party - it's the same night we'd planned on going to Oxford Street again :(I'll just have to see if we can reschedule that, I guess. It'll probably be better this way, though, seeing as I have a recording assignment due the next week, and I'll probably need the whole weekend, as well as most of Friday, for editing (which means no work, too).

I've also remembered a couple other things about Friday night:under here )
  • OH OH OH!!! I was completely over-dressed. I was worried I was going to be, because I usually am and only had a very vague memory of my last fleeting visit, and I simply had no idea what to wear. I ended up being the only person wearing a shirt. Every one else was tee's with cardy/zip-up. Except for Holly; she was dressed for things better than Purple Sneakers, but she had an Edward Scissorhands tee, so she was cool. Or, rather, crazycool.

  • That's another thing - the crazycool thing. I don't know if I explained this in the last post, but I feel I must make sure you all know. One cannot be both crazy and cool. It is a scientific impossibility. Much like the theory that no one can know both the Ultimate Question and the Ultimate Answer, lest the Universe explode/implode, and get replaced by something that makes even less sense... it's a Douglass Adams thing. However, instead of the consequence being universal destruction, it is rather more personalised. That is, things fall off. Yes. Things. They fall. From the body. And to a far more "off" position. It has been scientifically proven that one cannot be both crazy and cool, lest this startling and rather horrific side-effect take place. The only solution is for potential victims to be crazycool, a sort of crazed coolness; one lone quality, as opposed to two conflicting. Therefore I would ask that you all take heed, and make sure that none of your friends or loved ones are indeed both crazy and cool, merely crazycool. This has been a public service announcement.


  • On to today, I payed for my Muse ticket!! Don't know if I posted about my going, but... well, I guess I have now :P I'M GOING TO MUSE!!! WOOT! XD I also got a nice black jacket. Fits like it was made for me, which is rare. And YAY I'M GOING TO MUSE!!

    :D

    Edit: Project: Ether Engine keeps finding it's way back into my brain. I think I really need to do some more work on it as soon as some assessments are done and finished with. I also reeeaaally need to actually finish TPR. I completely suck. I procrastinate too well. So well, in fact, that I leave off procrastinating because I can't be bother to do it now. "Bugger it, I'll procrastinate later", I will say, and then not procrastinate the way I want to. Blurgh.
