Dice

Yesterday I saw the hospital here for the first time. A friend had been hurt after he stupidly forgot to put the handbrake on his car as he got out to press in the numbers for our complex's security gate. The car started rolling into the gate, and into the fence inside and as a ridiculous reflex action, he ran to attempt to push his car back from rolling through the second fence. He ended up with his leg trapped between the car and the fence, and he called out for help. Lucky one of our neighbours were around and quickly ran out and reversed the car off his leg or it would have been crushed. Now not only does he have a badly hurt leg, he has a dent in his car, two broken fences he needs to pay for and probably can't go back to work for a few days. Moral of the story, always put on the handbrake...

I was speaking to my mum on the phone today, and even she has come to the realisation that I'll be FOREVER ALONE. She said that I'd probably wouldn't get married for a while, and my dad said it doesn't matter, because I'll be home for longer. I said I probably wouldn't get married until I'm in my 30's at least, and she didn't even disagree. I was telling this to Wendy and she told me that my standards were too high... BUT I DON'T WANT TO SETTLE PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME !!!

Just A Boy

Today was a day of a revelation for me. It's been about 5 or 6 pracs for BMS at uni, and I've sat around the same people for those weeks. There was this massively international guy who I thought was very strange, and sat across from our bench. When my lab partner asked him something, he responded with this high pitched voice that made him even stranger to me, a very feminine international boy = stay far far away.

Today in our prac class, I can't remember what happened for it to trigger in my mind, but I looked at his face...and realised...he was actually... an older female international student. What the fuck Anna. What the fuck. But then I questioned myself once I looked at him/her a bit more closely. They dressed not very female-like and the hair cut was very short and shaggy. I was confused for a good hour in my mind, thinking that if I just glance at him/her without a labcoat on, see if they had some boobage going on...

I had a sudden idea of asking what their name was to my lab partner, to see if it was a girl or guy's name. The name was Yin Man. Er....

I spent most that prac arguing with myself. Then finally, I gave up and asked my other lab partner embarrassedly, and very very quietly,

'That person in the green jacket...are they male or female?'

She was silent for a moment giving me the strangest look. I knew I deserved it.

*drum roll* 'Female... she doesn't look like man...'

WELL, YES SHE DOES. THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN THINKING SHE WAS A CREEPY INTERNATIONAL BOY FOR THE PAST MONTH.

Oh god, I feel terrible.

Wow

This place is becoming a place of scary crime. A few weeks ago there was a stabbing murder of someone nearby the town centre and an attempted abduction. And closer to home, the friend that lives in the share house had a few creepy things happen to her over the past few weeks. At the first incident, my friend heard a loud knock on the door but she didn't bother answering. Apparently she went out and the front door was open, and so was the back door, even though none are ever left open. They called the police, but they couldn't do too much. Second time round, one of her house mates heard a scratching at her window, but when she told the others, they brushed it off as her over active imagination due to them being on edge. But when they went out to check her window, there were scratch marks and the bolts of the window had been unscrewed.

Wendy and I didn't want to say anything, but we both knew that whoever was trying to break in wasn't there to steal things. That house is known to have only university girls, as it was advertised that way. Hopefully people won't know that's the same for my house.
