only just MET EDDIE IZZARD
his show was fantastico and hilarious and afterwards just a handful of us waited hopefully around the back by his tour bus
he strutted towards us in his heels while we just kind of stared in awe, and he did signy-signy and picture-snappy and wished me a happy belated birthday and i’m still giddy

“At the weekend I try to escape to any nice pub in South Wales’ mountains (in the winter). In the summer, I try to find any nice pub (again!) as close to the sea as physically possible. My daughter and wife normally follow me in this quest of finding the best pub in Wales.”

fab birthday
we ate so much italian food that we couldn’t breathe and then i arrived home to be greeted by balloons, cards, sweet little gifts and a new laptop!
i’ve needed a new one for ages but it’s a massive surprise and my goodness it’s so nice to have one that doesn’t scream like a goat giving birth when you turn it on

last few hours of being twenty!
in the UK nothing really changes when you’re twenty-one but STILL
i’m gonna be old you guys! can’t wait for my weekend of friends, family & meals, and the inevitable massive post-exams night out after which i anticipate i’ll probably wake up in the fountain outside the museum

why do toilet paper companies use cute animals as...
i understand they want us to associate their product with softness but surely there is a better metaphor than fluffy pets
“so soft, it feels like you’re wiping yourself with a kitten” is literally the image we are fed with and this makes me a bit uncomfortable

ant camaraderie
i just accidentally squished an ant on the kitchen worktop, and another one came along to take away his corpse
he’s probably just going to eat it or something, but i stood there and saluted his nobility as he scurried off

coolghost replied to your post: just chosen next year’s modules
the last two sound like you’re going on field trips to space. enjoy the universe i have enjoyed knowing you during your brief stint on earth (salutes)
that is basically what’s happening, cardiff just got a ton more funding i guess
i’ll make sure the first life-form we find gets named after you :D

guys i did it
tonight i finished my second 7,000-word dissertation of the year and i’m very proud of myself because it was H A R D
when you write the acknowledgements for a paper you have to be annoyingly serious and just thank academic people. in reality i owe my gratitude to twining’s tea company, mcvitie’s, and my fam & friends for being encouraging and lovely ♥
now please excuse me...
