Notes were duely returned to me, so disaster averted. Currently at 'barely suppressed fury' point in mood cycle. Fury currently directed at myself for sitting around writing an LJ entry when I should be showering / washing my hair / generally making myself look less of a ugly greaseball. Also that I fail to be ugly enough to get people to agree with me when I think I am, so futher reducing my supply of botheredness to do anything about it. Grr.

I also just realised I have no idea as to the chronological order of Things That Have Happened This Term, which includes having no idea where or when I met anybody. I can point at events and say 'well, I must have known them by then, because I specifically went to talk to them', but not and say 'and that's where I first spoke to x'. Naturally, this currently also annoys me.

I'm currently not fit for human company, but cell is being this Fusion Tour thing at Emma URC instead of just cell, so I may as well go along, because I can get lost in the crowd and not have to interact much. I will be most unhappy if my period fails to arrive tomorrow, which means it almost certainly will fail to arrive, not wanting to be convenient or anything.

Tomorrow night I'm currently not doing anything; except technically my CS work for Monday, but I should be doing that tomorrow morning. If the not-doing-anything persists, I will probably go insane. My opinions of course might change at any moment. Currently, though, I'd like to find something to do.

Also, people don't appear to have correctly read my post about Sath - it was meant to read more like 'Please can someone come and meet us so I don't have to wander about Cambridge with Sath not knowing what to do and looking like an idiot !!1!'. So.

I've found that a person's self image and how others view that person rarely coincide. Thus my self image can go all over the place on a weekly (or sometimes daily) basis along the range of "crap, fat, ugly" to "okay I guess". However other people during that time are fairly likely to not have seen any difference since the self image is an internal one.

My hair is pretty unabiguously greasy; it's just I'm the only person it seems to bother.

I'm more of an ugly greaseball than you are... I just make people put up with it.

It doesn't matter when you met people... only if you like them now or not.

If you and Sath are still needing other people to bother you could come and bother my parents and me... (I'll take my phone), but that really isn't a cool/interesting thing to do.

That's because other people don't have to interact with said hair much, so it doesn't cause them much discomfort. As it's considered impolite to point out someone's failings, they don't. Greasy hair is, however, unpleasant to have attached to one's head, and you're more aware of your own bothered-ness than of others'.

Or that's my theory, anyway.

It would be a lot easier if people were more impolite, in the 'pointing stuff out which is wrong' sense; it would mean I wouldn't have to wonder if people want things pointed out or not, it would make me look less odd when I point things out to people who've specifically asked, and it'd help me to know whether I was doing okay or not.

I've also managed to run out of time to wash it again. Mnh.

I agree entirely. Move that we don't bother being polite to each other.

[chess]

Agreed.

Isn't there anything nice about cambridge? Aren't there shopppingy places? I like shopppingy places...

[tienelle.livejournal.com]

There are oodles of shoppingy places. They'll probably have quite a lot of people in them, but I'm sure you'll cope.

I don't suppose you can inform me of some of them? I think I know the grand total of two (Lions' Yard and the Grafton Centre)... I guess there are a bunch of streets up around the market too...
