<s> Jekesta are the Goddess of the strikethrough </s>!!. Only not struck-through. She are like my LJ fairy godmother!!

Interesting things I have learned today: at the moment, all women between 20 and 64 should have cervical screenings, but on the 1st of April this will change to 25-64 (unless it is an April Fool, omg). This means that if I want a smear test now as opposed to in five years time, I have between my birthday on the 27th March (Easter Sunday, omg, holy!) and then, which is three days, for which I will not be in Nottingham when I'm meant to be having it done. Hmm.

Also, all it tests for is cervical cancer, which is 'nearly impossible' (to quote the doctor) to get without being sexually active. Score one for the virgins! Although she seemed to also be saying it such cancer is virally transmitted, which...seems wrong. Ah well.

Whee, I am going to see two men dance each other tonight! And possibly buy a long-awaited Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookie omg.

Omg Eastenders! I missed most of it, and will miss it tonight, but Andy called Dennis his 'friend'! In official, written-down form! He calls no-one his friend, not even Pat who was super-friendly and gets to live in his house (and sleep in his suits). They were canon it is proof. And next week ( spoilers )

Hmm, Connotations. Does anyone know how long on average it is to wait before confirmation-type things arrive?

Gah! Just when I thought I was all caught up with and on top of my reading, The Wife of Bath's Prologue comes along to bite me in the ass. Growl. But I'm still quite pleased today :). My friend from Manchester, Katy J, texted me asking for my address, which means I'll be getting her letter soon, yay! And I'm going to a Chocolate evening tonight (?!), which I'm hoping will involve lots of chocolate. For £5, I hope so! The University Swing Night has been pushed back to a mystery time, though, which is probably for the best, as I have no dancing shoes at the mo. And there's a new edition of Total Film out tomorrow! And it's snowing!! Which does make the walk to uni more treacherous, yes, but - is pretty. And gives us an excuse to keep our stray cat (who is mysteriously covered in soot recently) in overnight, since it is bastardly to put him/her out in the snow. So yes.

Eastenders. ::pokes Pat:: Come on, cry, bitch. Weep for Andy. He wasn't so bad after all! Another problem I have discovered with soap fandoms: no access to previous goings on. I'd give anything at the moment to see the episodes of Andy working under (?) Dalton, and menacing Alfie, and sharing mother issues (?) with Dennis. ( rambly rambliness )

Sigh. Ah well. Alternative Eastenders shall continue to run wild in my head (minus annoying lady-characters. They can go to a nice lesbian commune by the sea).

Feet hurt. Hair smells. All the traditional signs of a decent night out :). Unfortunately, 'decent' is the best I will give it, as it was very cold, I kept getting pushed around, and all my friends kept running off to talk to other friends of theirs that I didn't know, which is fair enough but left me alone and bored. Not nearly enough dancing to alternative rock either. Did see a girl who works on the Uni radio with me in Nottingham, though, and also Bombhead from Hollyoaks. He tried to snog my good friend, who always pulls, without even trying. I completely didn't care, but was still a little starstruck when he brushed up right against my back (swoons).

As usual on such nights out, I stayed over at my easily-pulling friend's house, as a taxi back to my town alone would not only break the bank, but stomp it into little bits, and slept in till about 1 o'clock. Didn't get back home till 5, and spent the evening watching TV and admiring the brand new, huge, but as-yet-untrimmed tree in our living room (yay). Grumpy Old Women at Christmas was as hilarious as I thought it would be, and parents thought so too (especially mum - not yet had the pleasure of 'doing Christmas' yet, but recognised so much of it from her life. Presents for kids, presents for mother, presents for mother to give to kids, present for husband to give his mother...)

Eastenders also briefly slashy again, to my delight - Dennis going to Andy for the money he needs to run off with Miss Piggy, and saying 'you know I'm not one for goodbyes'. A touch of history there? My runaway imagination says yes. Nothing beats the One True Love of Andy and Alfie though - they need more post-Kat scenes together.

Only 4 days till Christmas, eek! At this point though, I'm on the verge of making a post-Christmas list, for all the stuff I realised I want giving the parents 'Christmas suggestions'. Everything's pretty much done and dusted from my end, besides the receiving and probably helping out on Christmas day. And the essay writing, of course, although I'm only reading this week. It's part of my plan. Finished the literature essay, all 5,500 words of it - editing will be done. But hey, I've written it. And I've got nothing better to do over the next few days.
