Just got another upgrade of chair, and gave the next door library person a smug look!
I feel like this is the fastest paced evolution the world has ever seen!

The witching hour? Mai time to shiiine.
So 1am Kate responds to a slightly saucy-toned message with
'O you want me to show you how to make a house of cards out of paper doilies?', with not a hint of irony.
That, my friends, is why I'm single.
In other news, however, I've seen the same security guard walk up those steps twice in one hour. Something must be occurin'. O MY GOD the view from my laptop is so boring - the only way out of this library is by clawing through my essay, which is a less physical, more traumatic version of the Great Escape, which I had wanted to re - watch, but now feel like I've experienced it myself, whilst being entrapped in a sausage encased pair of tights.

Aces!
Just swapped my uncomfortable plastic library chair for a double padded swivel beauty. + 1 for essay writing. -1 for STILL being in the library. Having a little hilarious holiday in my head imagining my friend Emma in her amazing role of Meg in Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party doing really mundane things like buying courgettes and getting on the bus. Must mention it to her.
Hm.
What if world - wide arguments weren't solved through people dying? Its odd how we have accepted that wars happen. I remember growing up in the '90s and seeing a jet plane shooting across the horizon, and asking my mum what it was doing, and she replied that "it was going to war". I remember even then being astonished that wars were being fought when I felt so comfortable, driving in a car through some woods to go and have lunch with my Nana. In England, if we get to the lowest low, we still can bank on the fact that we're alive; that we have a life and we exist. So many people around the world aren't so fortunate.

An anally retentive, and surprisingly boring, list of things that surprisingly surprise me
When someone who is really rugged is really meticulous about their nail maintenance.
How much people care about their mobile phones.
What my shoulder blades look like from the back.
What my hair looks like from the back.
That I'm an actual person like the people that I see through my eyes as opposed to a walking talking thinking voice.
Graffiti in unexpected places.
Genuine accounts where people make really solid judgements on superficial or superfluous things.
Seeing a butterfly or moth really really close up when it's drinking nectar. Surely thats a sight that only cameras get to see?
People my age getting married, having children, having mortgages, infact anyone who is able to talk about mortgages and credit rating and money with understanding and without total mindmelt astounds me..!
When cafes give free water.
An uncalculated step on the stairs.
When people just don't care about something, or genuinely don't believe that any input that they give will make a positive difference.
Even though I've been doing this for 20 years (discounting the 6 months where I was gummy faced) how good brushing my teeth STILL feels.
That I can run, and it feels good.
How quickly I get bored with skipping.
That people don't know that Norwich exists.
That people are surprised that I don't drive, and that suddenly its this skill that everybody just assumes that everybody can and wants to do.
How different people spread butter.
How boring this list is because I thought it was going to be really exciting...
