things that make phil uncool

As promised, Phil. You didn't think I was joking did you?

1) His annoying habit of cycling right up behind me when I'm walking along wearing headphones and, not to put too fine a point on it, scaring seven kinds of crap out of me.

2) Referring to me as a baby no less than three times in one evening and then pointing out the organic, fairly traded nappies in the People Tree catalogue.

3) Using words like trash and sidewalk, when what he means to say is rubbish and pavement.

4) Having unconditional offers when I have none.

5) Going on holiday to Dubai.

6) Bragging about his unconditional offers when I have none.

7) Bragging about going on holiday to Dubai.

8) THAT conversation about organic tampons that in the name of all that is good and pure on God's earth shall NEVER be repeated on this website. Or his, if he knows what's good for him.

9) Applying for a job at MaccyD's. I don't care how unemployed you are, there are lines in this country that you do not cross.

10) Making fun of the way I sit.

11) Being right to make fun of the way I sit.

12) Having an incredibly loud stomach rumble.

13) Getting served in the pubs that have been throwing me out for years.

NOTE - this list will be updated as and when Phil pisses me off. Expect more soon.
:D:D:D

17 reasons to go to Royal Holloway (Feat: Things I love about Egham)

1) The Founders Building that looks like Hogwarts.
2) The Boiler House studio that has a big beamed ceiling and sprung, centrally heated floor.
3) Big, antique library inside aforementioned Founders Building.
4) Gothic with a capital 'G' chapel inside aforementioned Founders Building.
5) My drama teacher, Tom, goes there.
6) It is NOT a drama school.
7) I'll get a London student loan if I go there.
8) It's close enough to home that I can come back and pester my friends at church, maybe even see my parents.
9) Egham is a lovely place, it's nice and quiet but near enough to Staines, London, Windsor to make it interesting.
10) Egham sounds like 'egg-them' said really quickly.
11) My parents used to live near Egham, as did several members of my family. Before she died, my gran was thrilled to think that I'd be going there. Actually, she got confused and thought I already was there.
12) Did I mention it looks like Hogwarts?
13) There's about two billion churches in Egham.
14) The lady in the Italian restaurant we went to made me some home made iced tea because they didn't have any in bottles. It tasted naff but I was touched.
15) 'Egham' has lost all meaning and is now just a very funny word.
16) If I go there, I'll be able to watch and read Harry Potter without feeling sad that I don't attend Hogwarts because I ALREADY WILL!!!
17) There's a Tesco in Egham. Continuation of my employment with everyone's favourite supermarche will allow me to FINALLY reap my reward in the form of a 10% discount card. Not to be sniffed at when you're counting out the pennies for your tins of Value beans.

top 3 fashionably socially aware wristbands

1) MakePovertyHistory
2) Livestrong (cancer)
3) The write-your-own-wristband from the college shop. Looks suspiciously like a rubber band, but isn't. 'Cos that would be immoral.
