Going round to a friends instead. I cooked chorizo sausages the other day and chopped them up small with pasta :)

After some pints of slightly ropey 6x.

I'm feeling a lot brighter now though.

How was the fancy-dress party?

I watched the Spurs win in the pub before watching City.
I think you might well look back on that defeat at the end of the season and realise just how costly it was.

I'm just jealous
of the curls. Shit hairdresser woman, when I asked her how I could get my hair curly just said dismissively that as my hair is dead straight it'd be incredibly difficult
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:35, Reply)

ach, what a load of bollocks!!!
if your hair is medium-fine, just use GHD's, will take about 20 mins to curl your entire head and it will stay most of the night. if you have thick hair (think you've said before that you do?), just buy heated rollers. they are a bit of a pain, but it looks amazing the first night and then brushes into lovely waves the second day. i got mine brand-new from an insolvent hairdresser on ebay for a fiver, and they are absolutely brilliant.

that being said, i'd swop every curl on my head for your dead straight hair. curly hair is a bloody nightmare!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:39, Reply)

I tried GHDs and the curls just fell out in minutes
The heated rollers sound like a great suggestion though thanks!

I like curly hair personally, straight hair like mine often just looks flat. Guess it's a case of the 'grass is always greener on the other side'
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:42, Reply)

yes
the massive downside to curly hair is that, unless you are very lucky or prepared to spend a while messing with it, it's just frizzy. mine spends most of its time part wavy, part curly, part frizz. sigh.

get a set with plenty of big rollers in, the little ones will just turn it into a granny perm! never ever a good look. but they really work. my old flatmate, whom i was out with last night, has baby-fine and poker-straight hair, and even hers turned into luscious bouncy curls that lasted until this morning.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:45, Reply)

I shall search ebay now
I'd really quite like to try having curly hair
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:47, Reply)

i will look too, see if i can see a set like mine!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 17:48, Reply)

Thank you!
They look really good. Are they hard to use?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 18:01, Reply)

nope
really easy, honestly. just blow dry your hair, grab a section of it, roll up as tightly as possible, clip tightly into place, repeat. try and get them in neat rows, but it really really doesn't matter if you don't. then cover in hairspray, sit patiently for a good couple of hours. take them out (don't forget the back, as i once did at school....) and don't panic, it will look dreadful! but as soon as you run your fingers through it, it will look amazing.

keep running your fingers through it until you are happy with the look, more hairspray, done.

I shall see how I'm doing for money this month, and if good will get them :) thanks for instructions also.

I'm now 21
And have a friend coming up tonight, and no hope of finishing the work due in tomorrow on time (bloody tutor setting 8:00 am Monday deadlines... especially when we aren't allowed into the building his pigeon hole is in until 9...), should be able to get it in by lunch though.

Also, for the first time in a long while, my love life is good but complicated, rather than complicated and almost certain to fail :)

And I'll be getting an awesome laptop by the end of the year

And I'm off to see A Clockwork Orange (not, as I managed to write when inviting people to come with, A Chocolate Orange) tonight at Film Soc.

It's not a massive problem if things run into next term, got a couple friends applying for law courses who will find out whether they got in/what their offers are early next term (plus, looking at all the rental sites, there's a fair amount of stuff going at short notice so if *all* else fails I can just sort it over the summer, would end up a bit further out, and might be in a private house rather than a student one, but neither of those are too bad). Would be nice to have something sorted though.
