Well done about the job, Samurai.
As for me:
The guy I'm living with has gone away for the weekend to play vampire larp. He didn't ask if I wanted to go with him. I don't really mind, I mean, I'm quite capable of really getting into that sort of thing and having a good time, but I wasn't bothered either way. As it is I'm all alone in a four bedroom house. Term starts in ten days but none of my friends are back in the city yet. The only proper human contact I've had today was when I left the house to go for a walk- I'm trying to do that at least once a day, rather than just being quiet and reading and refreshing facebook and tumblr all day. As my walk came to an end I decided to go into the supermarket near my house to buy some cheese, with the intention to grate it onto a pizza. (Love the extra cheese.) So I did, and it was good, and as I was strolling home a group of chavs wolf whistled and shouted at me, and I thought, "Why is this so hard?" I'm pretty quick-witted, normally, and I'm not shy; I can talk to strangers most of the time. But when this group of youths, hanging out on a street corner with bikes and sportswear and baseball caps (you must have a version of this kind of folk wherever you're from) just froze me up. My heart started racing and I couldn't even look at them, let alone smile, or wave, or say something. I just walked past, nose to the pavement, desperately hoping that they'd look away, that they would shut up, that they would stop noticing me. Then I got in and didn't make my pizza after all.
