“I was in the college fire brigade at Girton, an all female enterprise, and very competent it was.”
So proud to be a Girtonian right now…

So tomorrow is my last day as an 18 year old…
I’m going to see it out by giving a presentation to my Cambridge Uni English class which involves me passing off a satsuma with a face drawn on it as my artistic representation of a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem. This could go one of two ways…
So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.

devenirgris asked: Sorry really I should have asked... what would be your ultimate birthday (within the realms of possibility) :)
A lovely relaxing day, preferably spent in the countryside followed by an EPIC party in a huge, lake side house which ends with the best guests, having sobered up a little, huddled up in coats smoking cigarettes and watching the sunrise from a veranda overlooking the water. As you may be able to tell I’m rather tired and clearly I spend way too much time in a fictional world. Anyway that is my ultimate birthday. As for my actual birthday I have NO FUCKING IDEA!!!!!!!!! :(
