29?

Not so old

TK

Correct! Did you cheat?

I don't actually feel old, I suppose that's the problem really - I don't feel like 29 at all! But there's no getting away from it, that's what I am...

You, on the other hand, have got life in front of you!

Depends on what you class as cheating

You're only as old as you feel, so they say

A whole life... gah! Seems pretty stagnant at the moment

TK

Do you feel stagnant? Why is that? Life's not bad you know...

If it's true that you're as old as you feel, then I vary between being 17, 24, 5 and 105...

Stagnant as in I don't feel like I'm going anywhere... nothing changes, it's all lectures, coursework, exams, lectures... Never anything new. I barely go out- don't have the time, plus there's nowhere to go as I can't stand clubbing... and there's never anything happening on the female front either. Just at a complete standstill...

I feel either below 12 or above 87.

TK

That bad, huh?
Maybe you should try breaking your routine in a small way. There must be other places to go besides clubs? Any interesting societies at your University? You never know, there might be some nce females out there, too...
Whatever you decide to do or not do, you can be certain that the situation you're in right now won't last forever. Sometimes changes happen suddenly and unexpectedly!

I have a barely discernible routine as it is I don't like routine, and therefore don't have one, apart from going to the right lectures at the right time.

I'm a member of the astronomy society, but that's only once a week, plus it's usually cloudy!

I'm hoping that something's going ot change too. I've made friends with someone new, and I'm hoping that that will go places... early days, but I haven't felt anything like this since my girlfriend, which was about 3 years ago now. Weird, probably won't work out in any way other than friends, but then friends are just as important if not more so.

TK

Friends are definitely important! Also less complicated... Good luck - whichever way it goes!

So, anything new been happening here lately? I've been away for a while, travelling and w*rking. The Spa is still a secluded spot, it seems...

It keeps getting more complicated...
Thanks anyway

I got something in a collaborative entry! If you take a look at the edited entry on Tips on how to make commuting more bareable, the last sentence on the last but one section is one of mine, and the entire last section is mine as well!!!

Spa's are supposed to be secluded- if it was all hustly and bustly, it wouldn't be very relaxing, would it?

TK

Congratulations!
My first contribution to an Edited entry was Tips on living in a shared household. I was really proud! Some day I must write an entry of my own... I started one on Sepultura (Brazilian heavy metal, not in your line perhaps? ), but I didn't get very far. I've left it in the writing workshop. I realized that I just didn't know enough about the subject... Another thing I would like to write about is dalcroze eurythmics. Which I know a little more about!

I like the Spa. Nice and quiet. And waterlilies! What could be better?

I have some entries I'm working on.. if you'd like to comment, I'd apprectiate it!

I'm listed as a contributor in the shared household one, but nothing of mine is actually in the text.

Yes, waterlilies good. And no bees!

TK

I've got another one! In the fears and phobias entry, the quote in the Stings section (basically the whole section) is mine! Woohoo!

TK

Congrats again! I'll definitely check out your other entries.

The Spa may be secluded, but I can still hear the echoes of the bombs, even here... ...but we're not supposed to talk about that here, are we? That's a bit hard! I mean, it's impossible not to think about it.

I know, it seems strange that for such an open and relaxed community we have the Big Brother- esque restrictions on current affairs, but then I suppose the BBC does have to remain politically neutral.

TK

Hm. It doesn't feel good at all.
I went to a demonstration today. Rather small and soggy (it's been raining all day), and I don't suppose anyone important really noticed, but at least I was there.

Well, there are other things, thankfully! Water fountains, for example, and an absence of bees! Also tea. Tea is good. Maybe I'll make some. I can bring it down here. Would you like a cup?

Yeah, sound sgood, thanks :D

TK

Here you are:
It's from the Nordic Researchers Club. Since I'm Keeper of Himalayan tea, it's probably Darjeeling, hope you don't mind?

Lol, ah, a little bit of culture never hurts!

TK

This is very cultural tea. And it tastes good too! It's Fist Flush FTGFOP (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe). From Thurbo Estate. One of the best, I'd say!

! Sounds great :D I need a bit of
