Nellyville
"There's no (no) way (way) I...I...I can explain, the way I feel right now."
That is a quote from the title track from the album Nellyville by Nelly, and it perfectly sums up everything right now. This time, however, it's in a GOOD way! Everything is great, for once.
I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! I've got a house! (Picture me with a huge grin on my face and bobbing up and down on my seat to get the full effect)
It seems I was wholly mistaken when I mentioned that I felt left out by the guys I currently live with. Over the past day or so, we've managed to find this really nice place to live next year, and secured it with a deposit. 7 of us in one 3-floor apartment just off Finchley Road. It's about half a mile from where we currently live, which is sweet because we know the local area like the back of our hands now. It's reasonably priced as well, which is a good thing. It needs a few licks of paint, but the landlord has offered to pay for some paint, etc, if we do the decorating work ourselves. We're all pretty up for doing a spot of DIY, it should be a good laugh.
To celebrate yesterday, we picked up a (very) cheap bottle of champagne and had a toast to ourselves. Chris soon left to go home for the summer, but the rest of us proceeded to get, well, wasted. I was fairly off my face, and woke up this morning with a killer hangover. Too much vodka. For some reason we sat down and watched the first half of There's Something About Mary at about 3am. I love that film so much, but I hadn't seen it for years. Might have to go buy that on DVD this week.
I should be packing my stuff up at the moment, but can't be arsed. Instead I'm sitting at my computer, wasting some time. :) Off home tomorrow evening for the summer, hopefully I can get home without an accident...
Just going back to the bit about the house for a second, it serves only to highlight how much closer the guys on my floor are as opposed to how close the girls are. Like I said elsewhere, the girls have been bitching to some extent about each other all year long, but nothing too major or anywhere near confrontational. Until Tuesday, that is. I had just got back from Leicester Square, and I could hear some noise from my floor as I came up the stairs. That's nothing new, my floor is the noisiest on the entire campus... Anyway, I didn't think anything of it, and was sat chatting to a few of the guys in the kitchen. You could hear angry shouting and screaming from the corridor, and it soon transpired that there was all-out war between the girls. One of them had changed her mind about who she wanted to live with for the next year, and everything that each girl didn't like about each other came out in one big argument. There was name-calling, tears, screams and shouts all over the shop. I think everyone had reached their breaking point concerning being civil to each other, and all of these insults and concealed feelings were flying everywhere. The guys kept well clear, we've gone off a few of them recently. Like I said, they bitch about each other and whoever isn't in the room, so we probably get some stick as well. Oh well, you can't get on with everybody...
