our entire block just got ~evacuated~ for a fire alarm. usually i'm at lectures from 9-12, so this is my first experience of this HELL.
firstly, the fire alarm sounds like small children SCREAMING. it is horrific, for some reason it's only on the top floor- where there are 3 alarms. which are all located outside my bedroom, so even if i wanted to i couldn't stay in for this fire-related mess.
THEN chuck in the fact it's freezing, raining, and i'm in my pjs. they're nice pjs so there's no shame to it all, but seriously how degrading? i stood outside my house in a sulk (if fire creeps out the door, i could always run) then i saw boys in towels, topless boys, and some people WITH OUT SHOES (never is a fire ALARM that urgent seriously..) so i sulked along. luckily my house mate lent me a coat so i didn't contract hypothermia from the 20 minute wait i just endured.
oh, then there were two security men running into a house. it turns out some IDIOT FLOODED THEIR SHOWER. there is NO WAY TO FLOOD THE SHOWER, THEY DONT EVEN HAVE PLUGS? they must have coated the plug hole in something, turned it on, then shut the door? EVEN THEN THE WATER CAN STILL FLOW OUT SO THEY'D HAVE TO PLUG THE DOOR TOO. i really do worry that some people aren't quite all there here. last time it was cos some one put deodorant on (apparently, i wasnt there) and the time before that SOME ONE SMOKED IN THEIR BEDROOM. :S
i tell you this now, next time there's a fire alarm there best be a fucking fire. |

I'm sorry I have no photos to share! I will after tomorrow. I am just insanely busy with work and school and have no time to drop off/pick up/scan film. Gamestop is opening a second location, and the manager of that store has asked me to help out with setting it up. That's where I was all afternoon, and that's what I'll be doing tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. At $8 an hour and 8 hours a day? I'm stoked. So far I've only been getting 8 hours a week at the old store, which is tough. :( It's just the way the schedule works out, I guess. I don't feel prepared for Black Friday at all.
We're also getting down to the grindstone in trapeze, since our performance is Dec 9th/10th and we only have 5 more classes. Bleh.
I missed Biology today because the bed was too warm and the weather was too cold and rainy and I was incredibly sleepy. Ugh. Oh well. I'm so lazy towards school right now. I just wanna work work work and make money. My final is in two weeks for that class.
Olin and I have been watching the old live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies and they are AWESOME. I have seen the second one (Secret of the Ooze) so many times as a kid, I can still quote half of it word for word.
Anyway. I should be gettin' a move on on homework and boring things, but I'll try to update more later!
P.S. Is it bad for me to be jealous of Tegan and Sara because they get to hang out with Astronautalis, and not the other way around? Those bitches! Get away from my man! |

eurgheurhggh!!
i'm claiming on my insurance for my bike, and i think i've sort of fucked myself over? i left my receipt at home, we had no packaging (it got set up in store), and we paid by cash. shiiit. the woman said i'd probably get it claimed, but you can tell they probably won't. pissed.com.
i have to also package a fucking HEAVY bike chain that's been sawn in half to the insurance company. idk, it pisses me off that they're so reluctant to pay out- i'm an 18 year old girl not a hardened criminal. if this doesn't work out i swear to god im gonna have a shit fit and a half. |

OH GOD PART TWO OF BIKE SAGA.
yorkshire police just called, they've arrested two boys and they wanted my description of them (i saw them on campus a few days before). i explained that i couldn't describe them cos they had no distinguishable features, but cos i've seen them once before i'd recognise them? so i might go and do that, sick oneee.
then he said that two bikes had been retrieved. one boy's bike (worth like £600, guttedd) had a police tracker in it!
ALTHOUGH MY BIKE HAS NO CHANCE.
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_700703_langId_-1_categoryId_165534
RIP BIKEY. basc cos it has metal mud guards, he says they'll have been ripped off and sold for £50 a piece, which is more then you'd get for the full bike considering the size. also the wheels are fucking expensive cos the gears are like..integrated INTO the wheel? so it's a seamless gear change, which is another £60ish. then the chain guard too, like the bike itself is worth little to people considering i'm a 5'2 female but the bits are pretty sick and he said it'll be chopped and scrapped by now. GUTTING.
it was my present for getting into uni too, which really upsets me. it hasn't quite sunk in that it's gone yet? like i bought a new front basket for it (think little red riding hood) and i was strolling home ready to go and i look at where i parked it (the same place EVERY day so far) and it's not there. i don't remember riding it on campus and not bringing it back, nor do i remember leaving it at my friends house? so i had a shitfit there and then HAHA. i run up to it, the chain is just snipped. run all the way to the porters and reported it.
ASDJKASDKJAD ARRGH! |

yesterday my bike got stolen.
i'm fucking pissed. not because of the bike, but because it's highlighted SO many problems with this fucking uni accommodation. there were 4 boys who did it (one boy came in to report seeing a group of four, one of which was riding back on a female tiny cherry coloured bike..that's mine. hahaha FML!) and they've been spotted onc ampus as suspicious by pretty much EVERYONE (i saw them) and my flat mate even saw the fucking robberies take place (she wondered why there were so many boys around a few bikes..but didn't think to tell any one).
i'm annoyed, because the security told me there's NO cctv on campus. there's one at the entrance, one at the exit. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? we live in the middle of a housing estate, it's NOT unusual to see random non-students wondering about (they use the cost cutter here occasionally) so it's not as if we're able to spot potential risks easily as it is. then on top of that, people are gonna come from all around the city KNOWING we have no fucking cctv. THERE IS LITERALLY NOT A FUCKING GLIMMER.
i went into the porters lodges, and they admitted that even the monitor for those two cctvs were broken. one's for rape alley, one's for the uni entrance. they're meant to be monitoring those atn ight- but they can't?! so in essence, our cctv is there to record an attack/theft in two TINY domains and that's it.
i'm furious? if 5 bikes can go missing from the SAME college in one night, and no one can notice a thing, then a girl can be abducted, raped, or attacked and NO ONE will be able to tell. the thing is, you can't get a conviction unless there's CCTV OF the attack happening. so just as easily as they've gotten away with stealing mine (and four other bikes) they could get away with rape. and that's disconcerting to the maxxx.
i've talked to security and porters about this, and they said the uni refuses to fund more CCTV for our campus. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? my friend is in a better college (mine's called 'the ghetto' because its such a dive, his is called 'beverly hills'..they have alarms on their doors if you leave them open too long?!)and they have cctv ALL OVER. i don't think it's fair that student security is so hit and miss, like it's luck of the draw where you got put.
another thing- i had a conversation with a porter for about half an hour HAHAH COS I CLEARLY HAVE NO LIFE AND HE WAS YOUNG SO ITS OK- and he said he used to porter in the older/grosser colleges, and they were able to lift the windows OUT of the frame cos they were single pane glass. everything is so run down it's ridiculous?
i'm pissed, i'm writing an email to the provost of this college asking her about the cctv and asking her to request more from higher up. 5 bikes in one night isn't so bad as a girl going missing from campus and having NO idea?
i used to be really ~cosy~ here cos we call it butlins cos it's all a bit of a joke, it's actually like a hotel for kids. and now when i walk back i run cos i'm genuinely scared, like if some one so sinister could come in and steal a shit ton of bikes, then there's more that could happen? and i felt secure knowing there was cctv etc, but there's not. i'm so irritated by the whole incident, at one point i have to claim insurance but i don't even know where to start.
eurghgh bikeless for the near future, fucking great? :| :/
p.s: i had a £20 lock on it, there was NO way it should have been broken through & even security was shocked that it was cut clean through considering it was twisted cable too. then again he said once a girl's key snapped in a d lock and it took him 15 minutes with a hammer and some wire clippers to get it off. eurghgh. |
