YES!

Yesterday...

Was a bad day. In fact, was one of the shittest days I've had in a long time.
To set the tone of the day, I woke up late, and banged my head on the corner of my cupboard door. How this impact did not draw blood from my scalp is beyond me.
Then, seconds before my 08.40 Prof Comm tut was to proceed, I went to the bathroom in the Linguistics Department, only to find a grey hair. And no, not the sneaky bugger I keep pulling out, but a LONG hair, which (get this) was brown at the bottom, and midway up to my head is grey. The repercussions of this are immense; I do not just have a few hairs that have zero pigment, but hairs are now BECOMING grey. My mother went grey at 29. I worry.

Then, after an accumulated 5 hours of work on my font, the only electricity surge to hit Rhodes this year (so far, eep!) wipes out the 40-odd characters I had finished. As I write this, picture me waving a hand and looking away, tone of voice goes flat: I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I AM OVER IT. Don't ask questions or sympathise - I can't get it back and yes, I should have saved. I do have reasons for not saving at that time, but they fall flat in the face of five hours wasted. Moving on.

I almost lost my bag. I was drunk, yes, I won't lie. But I want to teach you something, kiddies:

NEVER
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
DESPITE YOUR BELIEF THAT YOU ARE DOING ME A FAVOUR AND KEEPING IT SAFE
NEVER
EVER

take my bag away from me and then disappear, leaving me to want a lip gloss refresh and discover that no, it's not on my shoulder, and I don't know where it is and neither do any of the bouncers, nor the two sympathising (but judgemental on the drunkenness) girls at the bar, nor the coat check gal, nor the guy from your dining hall who you've never spoken to but you're sure (SURE) that he would know where it is.

Yes, I got it back, so the day wasn't completely kak. But hey, guy, let me just wallow in the crapness that was Wednesday 25 August.

And rejoice, you heard me, REJOICE (onward with the capital letters!) in the knowledge that my birthday is also International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
