Finally things are starting to settle down. I won't get into it here, and bore you with the, frankly, messed up world of my head, but things are well and happy in the world. For now.
Term starts this week coming up and, man am I boring for not thinking of something vaguely more interesting to delve into on the first post back after forever. So let's casually toss that aside, and think of something passably more conversational.
Went out last night to the campus pub after walking C to the train station (odd that a four person house seems so much emptier after acclimatising to our new five housemate criteria?) for an LGBT social, without even really having to push myself to re-enter the real world. Rather a pleasant experience. Okay, so we were quite a lot early, but myself, A and E just had a casual... sit (we live on the edge) - it's nice just to be out doing something different. I sometimes feel so cut off here. Not really in the immediate social side of things, but in a general way. First year was so dynamic and adventurous, everything's new and people are all metaphorically shiny. Then things seem to slow a bit, and suddenly you're a person again, and the fabulous world of student living isn't merely a novel fad.
It's kind of... life now.
Rather nice turn out last night - in the usual corner (goddess, that lighting is cruel), all sitting in a massive circle. I felt like I should stand and announce an 'interesting' fact about myself. Ah, whole issue in itself there. What are you actually meant to say? "Hi, my name is kitti and I... prefer the company of my cat to any one of you? Like to dance naked in fields? Secretly listen to La Roux, and not just because Elly Jackson is hot?"
I had a bit of a chat with a lovely guy, CS (who told me about his decision to come out last year, while I couldn't stop myself from mentally laughing a his poor misguided belief that no-one knew beforehand), and a rather gorgeous redhead, Em. Stop dreaming, brain, out of my league. Jessica was there too - very difficult to chat to. Lovely girl, don't get me wrong, and friendly, but shy. I think.
