Warning: Extremely Frivolous

We went to Strawberry Fields yesterday, for another "Sticks and Stones" gathering, where people do poetry reading in the bar upstairs into a microphone and everyone else gazes at them rapt in awe. After that, we went to the Fab Cafe for a drink and Space Raiders, and then to Bar Phono to meet up with some of our coursemates from Philosophy last year and chatted (or rather yelled) the night away.

I had a good night and might be reading out poetry in Singlish at the next Sticks and Stones; because I figure I'll never see most of these people again, so it won't matter if I embarrass myself and because it's good to do things out of your comfort zone anyway. And also because Andy has been asking me to do it (whether as a joke or seriously, I don't know :oP ), and I would feel "guilt-aeh" if I didn't try at least once.

On the subject of guilt, I did something so funny and silly today. I went for 20 minutes of the AGM in the refectory today, but not because I was that concerned about what goes on in my university. I went with a friend I bumped into at the library, who wanted to go check out Tom, one of the officers in the executive committee, because she had seen his picture on the internet! Although I didn't go for Tom's sake, my motive wasn't entirely pure as well because I wanted to see *ahem* Seb, who is much much cuter and taller than he looks in that picture. When I used to have to do things for Singsoc I would always look forward to going to the Union to find him, and we also went to get free personal alarms from the union because he was there (and also because Leeds is a dangerous place).

Anyway, we got to see both our guys and listen to the consitutional changes that were being made and hear motions postponed and catch up on what was going on in our university so it was all good.

Well... this is the kind of frivolity I have been amusing myself with these days, and I'd better get back to hitting the books.
