And as I lay in bed, in the ungodly hours of this morning, I couldn't help but wonder - Why does uni always FUCK UP your sleeping pattern? Now, don't get me wrong, providing I have fuck all to do that day, by all means bring on the ridiculous bedtime. But I really don't think I've had a decent nights sleep since I moved here last September...a decent days sleep however ;)
But in the same token, where would we be without being nocturnal? If we [students] slept like normal human beings, we'd have no random drunken conversation, no noise disturbance letters from our accommodation offices, no deep thinking sessions where you create the most amazing things ever (extreme musical chairs!). We'd just stop having fun! And what is the point of university without these nocturnal antics? Well...apart from that degree thingy we keep writing essays for, nothing.
The more I think about it the more I realise that students really are a whole different species of being - we don't speak normally, we don't eat normally, we don't drink normally (at least within the definition of normal by the NHS), we don't sleep normally, we don't even look normal - and the best part? We don't give a FUCK. It's our right, as we dig ourselves deeper and deeper into debt from loans and overdrafts - We are allowed to do what we want =] within reason, hell - even theft is almost legal for us! *Shopping trolley anyone?*
And onto my next topic - I'm an extremely happy bunny today, I got my new piercing =] And for £20 aswell! Scaffolding (or industrial) is the two piercings in the top of your ear, with one long bar joining them... See above for those who don't know =]

So, I've had several types of piercing, and this was my first cartilidge one...I am not ashamed to say that I, well, I did not scream ... but say 'ouch' very loudly and groan a little .. yes. At the end of the day a lady was shoving a needle from one side of my ear to the other. 2 holes in one go! I handled it well - and as always, thinking about what I want next =]
Of course, the only downside now - I will be sleeping on my right side for the forseeable future - and pinning back my hair until I stop flinching at the thought of brushing my hair behind my ear and catching the bar... I'm sure I'll survive.
Also, have an open day tomorrow - must finalise the Facebook presentation and get an early night. Be in uni by 8.30am?? Wow - they are thinking wishfully! But hopefully, the 'sleep aid' next to me will help with this =] So, I shall sign off, the flatmates are filling latex gloves with water...this can only mean comedy! So I'm off to go cause some havoc on the streets below my flat...toodles xx
