Wow, I'm sort of the same, Koa. I think I've spent more money on clothes the last three months than the previous three years combined. I also must've bought 200+ books the same past three months, which is also more books than I bought the previous three years combined. Even though most of the books were used and cost 50-cents each, still... (I used to settle with books from the library.)
But I've made some resolution. Now that I have *enough* clothes in my closet and *enough* books to last till my retirement years, the next time I want to spend my money, I should think about the little kids in Africa and send some donations to them instead of wasting my money on things I mostly don't need anyway.

I hear you ajoe... I also think of all my travels and even if I often get things for as cheap as possible (be it journey ticket or a tshirt), it all adds up...
The randomness of today:
The real heat arrived...today was almost like august! Still a spring breeze is blowing so that in the shadow you can survive, but it's a real preview of summer... It makes me wish I am anywhere else... these past weeks have been so pleasant,I was hoping it was going to last a bit more :(
-
heat? lucky, lucky you!!! it was so frigid today that i became convalescent! trade?
*wonders if that's a bad idea, because someone's gotta have better weather to barter for than either of us! :p
-
DEAL!!! I take your frigid weather, you take the 30+C! *packs bags*
(should I tell you that heavy rains are expected from today on? But if it's gonna rain today I'll try my luck with becoming the first female pope :p)

It was something like 35 degrees today, and it took me over one-and-a-half hour to come back from university. And there were millions of people on the bus. I almost melted :( Next week the exam session sterts and I have 4 exams, one of which lasts 5 hours. I'll die if it doesn't get cooler.

SECOND that, Monica! It's the kind of weather that makes the flies (and others) drop dead in mid-fly. Today it does seem to be worse than yesterday, it's just UGH.

So I assume Helga you dont belive that 'shakespear' and Marlowe are the same person??

We are going on our first LARP (live action role play) this saturday.
Weelaaah! We are very excited. We even have solved our clothing and transportation problems. Now there is only IG to think about.
Since the possibility that anyone here is going on the same LARP too is very small, we will give you infoabout our character. If you are taking part of it, don't read any further!Name: Taliesin. It is a celtic LARP. We are playing a bard. Our IG explanation to the name is that our father was also a bard and therefore named his only son after a legendary minstrel.
Age: 20 or 21.
The game focuses on a conflict between Vikings and Celts.
We are serving the king. Very loyal to him. And therefore we have done some things that the king may misunderstand - we have talked to a certain innkeepress and she has revealed her secret - she is gathering information and we are her eyes and ears in the court. To put it simple, we are spying for her. We believe she is up to no good and that someone (we) must know what she is up to. We have told the king about our suspicions, but he thinks that we are being paranoid (and OOG we agre with him)
So we are sortofa double-agent.
Also we hope that a merchant gives us some rare herbs that allow us to see the future. The old witch will be dead soon and we don't know whether her successor will help us perform the rite.
There are so many chances to do something wrong. Say the innkeepress is actually innocent and we are causing confusion. Say that she gives use a secret, but it is a false one andwhen we tell it to the king, they will understand that we were never on their side. Or say they trust us, but then the king finds out and misunderstands...
Or maybe the king is forced to abdictate and they come to power and perhaps they understand that we were never loyal to them...
And the innkeepress has had much much more LARP experience than we. She has a greater probability to outdiplomate us.
The only good thing is that bards have sort of a immunity. Bards are not allowed to be killed. (say when a commander would kill an enemys bard, his own men would kill him in shock)
But actually we are looking forward to it.

Random thought: seasonal allergies can feel very distracting while taking an exam. Somehow, Sneezy of the Seven Dwarfs and answering multiple choice questions do not mix.

Orcs are so much cooler but elves are pretty cool.

Self-celebration moment for getting scarily high marks in 2 tests (one of Russian, one of French) I took in the past few days. I'm almost scared of myself. Shame that's just like 5% of all I have to do and doesnt count much... but it's good for the moral of the troops (my braincells ;))
----------------------------
Oops, I did it again. Unhealthy form of fascination for character recently met online, lots of fan in chatting, and even more unhealthy thoughts of meeting him in real life... Not good, I don't want to make illusions. (btw, he forgot my name... :rolleyes: ).
-----------------------------
More languages tests tomorrow. And on Friday. And next week.
