boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse

I want a strawberry daquiri. A big one. No, big, okay? Big enough to bathe in. With two umbrellas in it. Thank you. I got my exam results. No crying, but no frantic jubilation either. I am not in a good mood. Dear all the dear people who tried to wake me up this afternoon: love you. I'm sorry for shouting. I'm still not in a good place, as far as the next batch of exams go... I just am full of fear, and writing enormous lists of Things I Don't Know Oh God Oh God, and am now being sensible and not procrastinating and working all the time, so I can't beat myself up too much later. Am trying to be good, really.

...hi, people who have just friended me because I like Star Trek! In brief: hi, nice to meet you! I am British, twenty-two years old, geek of the first water, insomniac, and I'm a lawyer in the process of being made (that's what the exams are about). Oh, and if you bear with me I'm going to start talking about Star Trek again a little way down, yes.

My beloved ex-wifey jacinthsong is coming to visit tomorrow for a few days, and she has said she will make me tea and deep-fried tofu and put up with all my little excesses. I suspect I will cling to her desperately and occasionally demand to be shown pictures of kittens, but that's... not bad, per se. And then on Monday shimgray is coming up, to probably suffer much the same fate. It'll be lovely to see them both, but I am mildly apprehensive for reasons of, well, worlds colliding, I suppose. This is the first time any of my friends from university have ever come up here, I think, and... well, I suppose it's just a little contextually challenging. But at the same time it's weird that the most important people in my life have never really met. I've never really got over the idea that I'm a real person - that I sit at the centre of my own social network, and it's perfectly possible for there to be people in the world who have nothing in common but me, but do have me in common. That gives me an uncomfortable feeling of selfness, actually. I think I shall stop this line of thought now.

In lieu of going crazy this evening, then, I have been watching Star Trek in the background while I read about breach of duty of care. And I thought I would copy calapine and make a (short) list of Star Trek Episodes That Are Really Great. Yes.
