Living conditions

[raven]

Am working on the ficlets and such. It is all good, yes. But, small fact needs recording:

I AM NOT HOMELESS!

We have a flat! College-owned, in Jowett Walk near Social Sciences, and omg, I actually have somewhere to live.

Again, need to go to bed. Went to bar because others wanted cocktails, said would have one drink. One drink turned out to be Death In The Afternoon (aptly named) which is mixture of sparkling wine and absinthe. Proceeded to tell Sagar he was a "middle-class self-righteous PRICK", with some prompting from Testosterone Will. Then there was Firefly, and well, fuck. If this is the Balliol version of a quiet night in, I strongly suspect I shall be very dead before the end of my undergraduate degree.

In other news, pink fluffy speakers are love, and did I mention, I'm not homeless!

Yay. Having somewhere to live is most excellent.

It's such a relief, I can't tell you.

Well done. I entirely agree.

*g* Well, I may have been slightly pissed at the time. And Claire told me later that he doesn't drink, and I asked, disconsolately, "He can be that much of a wanker when he isn't pissed?" It was that kind of night.

I was thinking the same thing!

Congrats on the flat!

(your 'quiet night in' sounds rather more rousing than my type of quite night in which inludes tea, books and fuzzy-fleecy slippers ;D)

To be fair, I'd probably be better at quiet nights in if I didn't have very persuasive friends and every bar or club in Oxford in walking distance!

*envy that your college-owned flats are in such a good place* Congratulations! Expect me to drop in at 10:05 every other night after being kicked out of the SSL...

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it! *loves*

(Where are the Wadham ones?)

Up in Summertown, so they were never an option for me because I wouldn't have been able to stand being ten minutes bus ride out of the middle of town. Admittedly I don't mind so much now we have a house off lovely Cowley Road, but when we were house-hunting I used to stomp along to the SSL through Jowett Walk muttering "bloody Balliol, bloody Merton"...

Yay for houses! I still need to sign my lease, bah.

I can think of about three people who would agree with this. I laughed, I have to say.

Are you not living in Albany Park next year?

Heh. Seems everyone's about the Sagar-hate. He is very, very irritating.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Hopefully going to be in Albany - there's afive of us in a group so it's pretty garaunteed - but they have yet to give us our contracts to re-sign. Grrr, etc.

Yay! Having somewhere to live is so good. I now have a contract, an' everything! Glad you have somewhere too.

Bon weekend, have fun with ficlets! *g*

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Eeee! You're a grown-up!

And a lovely weekend (what's left of it!) to you too.

Congratulations on not-homelessness!

Am never trying absinthe again after experience with it over Christmas. Well, ok, never in polite company.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

And yes, absinthe = teh EVIL.

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Yay for not homelessness!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

It is glee, I tell you. Though I am going to miss the attic very much.

[amchau.livejournal.com]

The attic, it is true, has a certain atmosphere about it. A certain personality, even, which a plain old house might lack.

Old person sweeping in... Well done! A friend was the very first warden of Jowett Walk, when it was less than half its present size, in a time that seems both like yesterday and very long ago.
