The whole "politeness" thing reminds me:

I was in Dundee on Saturday, we were sitting on the bus waiting to reach thge bus station. We'd stopped at a stop for a while and someone broke down in such a position the driver couldn't pull out, and on a busy street. People got out the car and started trying to push it but couldn't quite manage, so some random pedestrians ran over to help them (including a dude selling Big Issues).

Watching this made me smile :)

Nothing has made my week yet - it has been an absolute SHOCKER.

Several things have happened to make this the worst week I've had in a very long time.

I'm sure you don't want to hear all about it in great detail but it has SUCKED. Hopefully things will start getting better now.

voluntary hugs, kisses, hair strokings and "i love you"s on the part of other people make me extremely happy. Its so nice not to always be the one who initiates affection.

Sometimes if I have had a bad day, its the little things that happen that make me smile and make my day worthwhile.

I was at the Tesco self-checkout a few weeks ago and realised that I was 50p or so short to pay for my shopping (and I didn't have my debit card with me) and the lady next to me gave me 50p and said I didn't have to pay her back, which was so sweet! I Otherwise I would have had to de-add one of my items of shopping. I didn't even ask, I just said "Oh shit, I don't have enough money" out loud without thinking and she responded. It made me realise that there are wonderful people in the world, no matter what everyone else says.

Last Tuesday, I collapsed outside an English lecture (Malory does that to people, dontcha know) and my tutor found me. When I found out they'd called an ambulance I didn't want to go to the hospital because I get scared, so she came with me and sat with me in Resus for FIVE HOURS, which meant that we both missed the compulsory lecture that I should have been attending and she should have been leading. I said to her "But you've got classes" and they bundled me into the ambulance and she replied "Not now,I haven't". She was AMAZING!

I was pretty scared- I'd gone blue, my pulse was 232 and my blood pressure was really high- I didn't know what was going on, really. She made it all so much better- the only time she left my side was to get acup of tea for us both. What a woman!

There ARE still some kind people left in the world...

Ten minutes ago. Driving out the north haugh, some dick steps right on the road without looking, feet from my oncoming vehicle, and has the fucking nerve to gesture impolitely as I swerve to avoid killing him (only going about 20mph mind).
You were heading towards New Hall/Melville and of hispanic look, and you are a total wanker.

My boyfriend turned up in the middle of a crap shift at work and gave me a red rose- i fucking love cheesy romance :) brilliant.


Getting an e-mail full of compliments for the 100th issue of The Saint (which putting together nearly killed me) was fantastic.

Haunted that made me laugh out loud in the library.

My flatmate thought that my whistling was part of a playing cd.

Inadvertantly suggesting that I have a recording studio quality whistle. Which pleases me somewhat.

A friend who didn't reproach for me for being really late and made me laugh loads:) And finding I had a good friend in someone unexpected after being really upset. So despite an awful week the karmic balance has been restored:D

Doing a good show last night.

Now I have a come-down worse than any drug induced one, and a hang-over from the after show party. The problem with feeling really good is that it has to end.

I dunno if performing is particularly altruisic but a lot of people seemed to enjoy the Tempest so I suppose it isn't an entirely selfish endeavour.

Oh shit, I'm sorry, I should have said thank you at the socs meetings I've been to. Thanks for all the help you've given to helping get Ted Kennedy set up. You've wholly disproved my perception that St Andrews has a conservative bias. Also, hope you're enjoying the Middle East tutorials as much as I am.

What made my week was the 1 in a 100 that said thanks for the work you do for Socs.
