Meh.

Urgh. Urgh, urgh and urgh. Totally fucking miserable at present. Have just had driving lesson from seventh level of hell; apparently, I am mechanically inept. Well, yes, I knew this. I am, for reference, incapable of walking, crawling, swimming, riding (one would think the horse's will would override mine) or driving in a straight line. I hate being so intrinsically bad at it, particularly as everyone of my acquaintance has a) passed months ago, b) passed a month ago, or c) so naturally brilliant and not ridiculous at all that their passing their test is a big fat moot point.

Still stuck at home being productive and disliking the whole being-me aspect of being me. I decided today to try and revise Biology module five, which is called "Environment" but generally referred to as "Ecology" or "that fucking stuff we did in fucking Wales". Almost nine months after Rhyd-y-creuau, the ghosts still haunt us all. Rice-Oxley is a behavioural ecologist and our mangling of her speciality causes her physical pain. Perhaps because of this, she has set a mock module on Monday and gone either on DofE or the first-year geography trip to Frodsham for the rest of the week.

Other, entirely spurious, things are pissing me off. For example, I hate wanting to know something about a new fandom and looking at the crack_van overview only to find the writer is one of those people all about teh snark (!11!1) and whose attempts at humour and random parentheses and bits that are struck out manage to both entirely mystify people who came there to actually learn about it and convey the writer's thorough disdain for what is supposed to be their fandom.

Also, I want a new default icon, and am once again thoroughly amazed at the level of wankiness that goes into icon-making on LJ. Comment and credit is one thing. Do not alter do not nominate do not fucking breathe cuz your not KEWL OMG!!111! is quite another. I'm pretty sure I saw an icon-maker the other day who credited her own icons. Each and every one of them, despite the fact they all looked the same (quite aside from the sheer wankery, of course), and why do all the icons on LJ look the same anyway? Take one uber-poignant base, maybe a close up on someone's eyes or on two people holding their heads close together, partly desaturate, make grainy, add a few dozen gradients, a blurry sort of brush, some Evanescence lyrics in a font that's too small to read and presto.

Rant, rant, rant. Anyway. The one pretty thing on the horizon at the moment - beyond the end of exams, which seems to be the only time ever I'll get to see Hannah or any of my friends again - is a Chemistry field trip. At the beginning of AS, Fidan decided we should go on a field trip to Cadbury World, seeing as every other subject seems to get field trips and we don't get any. The gestalt entity ColvinandMiller seemed to be in agreement; the difficulty was explaining the relevance of the trip to the actual subject of Chemistry. However, two years on, it seems Fidan has finally talked everyone round and we're going sometime soon.

I'm very bored.

[Also: I have read, and very much appreciated, every comment on my last post. Thank you all very much.]
