A few things (in list format)

• did you know that i am considered a "list" kinda girl. It was only when i was thinking about lists that i found 4 of them. A to-do list (which is now in my new diary that my mum sent me in a "stop writing shit on the Internet" kinda gesture. That, and it really is perfect for my daily lists.) A to-eat list (this one's in my head, but it contains the use by dates of the stuff in my fridge) a to-wear list ( things i need available to wear to work, and things that i can't find in my wardrobe at the moment and hence have been classified "Sister Nicked".) finally a list containing the list of things i need to write about lists. Oh. If only you knew my 'real' surname. You'd all laugh. Oh. found another one. Library books to get.

• My housemates and myself have a new routine. We have named it "Go swimming, eat curry, drink beer and play board game Thursday". English students - we are not. Perhaps we should work on the name a little. G.E.D.a.PT. No. That doesn't work either. Any way this weeks board game was RISK. Which. Is. Just. The. Best. Game. E.V.E.R. Story time:

So there is suddenly 6 people sponsoring Go swimming, eat curry, drink beer and play board game Thursday, which is a perfect board game number. There's me (duh), Bill, James, Intel, Pierre and Mrs Pierre and we all pick colours and team names as such (abusive nicknames in brackets):

• Intel - Germany (bloody efficient ones) - Yellow
• James - England (Have you got a flag?)- Red
• Bill - France (Bloody French)- Blue
• Mrs Pierre - Gay Pride (Army of Poofs) - Purple
• Mr Pierre - The Army of Death/The Army of Mordor (Evil Bastards) - Black
• Me - The Eco Warriors (Those Hippie Bastards) - Green

There were several major battles. Many wars. There were even gummy bears taken hostage by Those Evil Bastards. Mr Pierre even used a roll of sellotape as "the eye of mordor". There were crys of "Jesus! The Poofs have taken South America!" and "You. Will. Die!". There were alliances made, and more spectacularly broken. There was abuse screamed in French, English, German, Spanish, Flemish and Swedish - and in various colours.

after 4 hours of play, the important thing? I bloody won! Go Eco Warriors! The world map in the kitchen is now offically "My Empire". That is untill the next time we play and they all kill me off first.

Next week. Pictionary.

• Lastly, have just found out that the new college they are building here is going to be called the Virgina Wolf College. Of Wolfy. Nice.
