Bow, for you are in the presence of royalty!

Ok, so the title is a slight mis-truth. That is, unless the titles and positions of CU committee members have changed drastically and no-one has yet notified me of this. I somehow doubt that though, although it would be quite cool to have people bow in your presence. Would probably give you a bit of a complex of somekind, but I can't remember the term for it. All answers addressed to my comments section would be much appreciated.
Anyway, at one point yesterday during my very much CU-based day, I was thinking. It was CU based due to the morning meeting, the alpha prayer meeting, the committee meeting, and small group at night. And technically toastie bar too, but I really just went to eat toasties rather than help, and then I left again. Anyways, I was thinking about things that annoy me, and I came up with a surprisingly large amount, which I don't think is good. So here is a sample of those things. One of them is people who aren't flexible about things, like meetings, and such things. Luckily I don't know many people like this. Another thing is people who don't turn up for stuff like meetings when they are quite important meetings, and they have said they will turn up. People who say they are ill so can't meet you, and then go out to the union that night are under this category too I suppose, but that is slightly specific to part of yesterday which annoyed me a lot. People who use a lot of exclamation marks slightly annoy me. Obviously this one doesn't apply when speaking to people, but I still get irritated by it for some reason. Maybe I am just so good at english that I know they shouldn't be used so often. But then again, and this is much more likely, I'm not. A final thing I can recall is people that are incredibly disorganised. I don't encounter this particularly often, and I sometimes am slightly disorganised, but I just don't like it.
Well, that was quite a rant. Tonight's blog is being written between me cleaning the flat for it's inspection tomorrow, and starting some research for a class on introduction to design for tomorrow. Tomorrow should be quite a good day, with four hours of classes, then the CU agm, and then perhaps playing pool in the union, seeing as that often happens after CU these days. Then on friday, I am going for lunch/dinner at an all you can eat chinese restaurant in the city centre with Alison and Louise. It could be seen as a bonding outing for the new committee, but really it's just half price all you can eat chinese seeing as the three of us already know each other. So that should be good. And if you happen to see anyone rolling through the city centre afterwards, that will most likely be me, due to me always making the most of all-you-can eat buffets. I can usually still walk after them though, which is a slight victory suppose. And I only feel ill for a few hours afterwards generally, so it's all good.
Well, I better go actually get some work done now. And make sure the flat is clean too, you never know what can happen in an hour in this flat. Ciao.

i think the word you were searching for may be vanity?! big-headedness? a superiority complex??

Anyway, fill me in.. what have i missed... you're part of the CU committee now? What part do u play? Your mummy and gran were in the shop today... panini and semi latte (no bisc) as usual there ;) i love customers who have a specific drink... makes life slightly simpler!

I think superiority complex is the term that I was going for, but I guess we will never know now. And as of this evening, when we have the CU agm, I shall be on the committee as praise person, and general in charge of music-ness.
Good to hear that mum still has the same when she comes in. But then again, you could probably predict exactly what I would have if I came in for lunch with them too.

your drink would be slightly more difficult to determine should you luncheon with them.... it could be bru... it could be hot chocolate.. it could be white hot chocolate... it could even be a double chocolate hot chocolate... not that we have made any of them since you left..... *sigh.... good times*

True, or it could even be the infamous ridiculously-chocolately hot chocolate. you know, the one with whipping cream, milk, chocolate, white hot chocolate, chai mix, and cream on top. Now that was a drink that I should have tried harder to get put on the menu. I'm pretty sure I showed you how to make it. Would that be correct?

SO many things to reply to and so little time! I'm one of those people who overuse exclamation marks, just coz i think full stops are a bit boring!
Hehehe! how did the flat inspection go??? i would sooo fail it if they had to come into my room, it's always a tip! (which kinda means i also fall into the really disorganised catergory, but nobody's meant to know that!)
At the AGM last night they never said that we had to bow to committee, so i'm probably not going to start bowing to you, sorry!
Anyways, it is off to school for me and i hope u'all enjoy your chinese tonight! tip: don't eat too much rice or noodles because that just fills you up!

Either the 25th of February or the 11th of March will be my first visit home of the semester. Not really got any other free weekends before then. I would have come down to say happy birthday to you, but have been busy this weekend and am busy next too unfortunately. And I shall definitely show you the drink, maybe if I come in just when the shop has opened some day and its quiet I can reveal the secret of it.
