The post where I finally catch up to Greg on posts this year :)

YAY and despite the lack of posting of late I have managed to catch up with Greg on number of posts this year! Woo for me!! Right now am VERY excited for the Snow Patrol which is in a meer 6 hours!! I have spent the night at Nat's room on campus and the day playing on her computer while she sleeps (she's a bit sick you see). Though determined as she is, is willing to give up classes/lecture/tutorials for a day to recouperate for tonight!!
For something different from me...time for a rant:
At the moment the thing that shits me the most is people who don't understand the concept of personal space. Granted there are situations where it is unaviodable (ie train from melbourne at peak hour) however, when I'm getting Oranges at Safeway, you don't have to actually touch me to get some pears which are closer to you than they are to me. This woman had absolutly NO reason to lean over me at all. It's rude and uncalled for. The same goes for the women in the bakery last week who decided to breath down my neck and dig her ample bosom into my back while I was waiting on the elderly lady in front of me decide on which direction she was going to go. SERIOUSLY PERSONAL SPACE PEOPLE. Also to all those people that decide in order to talk to someone they need to situate their face two centimetres from the person whom which they are conversing with. And if you do it by accident, just do the whole polite/uncomfortable "oh I'm so sorry" thing and be on your way. Don't give daggers to the person that YOU ran into as though it's their fault.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a cold person who doesn't want human contact. I love being close with someone I know and I'm an affectionate person but with a complete stranger?? NO! As aforementioned it is just plain rude.
Just felt the need to rant about something...now if you will excuse me...I'm off to play some more on dA.

~~by the way I do see the irony in ranting about personal space the day before I'm going to a concert in where we will be in the squishy standing area but I classify that as an exception to the rule and one of those unaviodable moments :) ~~
