rugby, lenin, and a fish bowl

so today I've decided to tackle one of the biggest problems I've encountered so far this year... understanding Rugby. seeing as most of my guy friends play for the uni team, I've recruited one of them to sit down and explain how it works because so far all I get is that men run around a bloated football, only picking it up occasionally and then brutally attacking each other... so hopefully that will go well.
in other news... mimi and i have added a goldfish to our room! his name is Lenin, in honor of the day the berlin wall fell, which is also mimi's birthday (I bought the goldfish as her birthday present) the only problem is that little Lenin's tail as fallen off.. but he seems to be handling it well, hes still a happy swimming fish, and still enjoys dancing to loud music late at night with us... the better the bass the more he swims, so maybe its like music therapy??

a long time coming...

sorry i know its been forever since i've updated this... I've just been really busy lately with having a roommate and... uh work? no actually i have been doing a lot of work, i went to the library for 3 hours tonight! go me.
the poster campaign that lydia and i thought of finally got finished and the posters went up last week, except, as any of you with facebook might know, the posters are a little racy, and all the ones of lydia have been stolen already.... for those of you without facebook, the posters feature a naked lydia (covered by sheets), a naked boy (again, covered by sheets) and a made bed with a teddy bear on it with the phrases: Was it fun? Forgot something? and Remember last night? (respectively) along with information about where to get free condoms, sti tests and birth control. lets go socialized health care!!!
but life in edinburgh is really really really growing on me. its a really great city and i'm finally at the point where i see someone i know just about everywhere i go, which is impressive for a school of 27,000 students...
the next big event on my calendar is thanksgiving weekend i guess... the plan so far is to head to London for a long weekend in Tim and Ned's flat, which they have generously offered me for the weekend while they are in the States. thanks again guys!
so i'll try and be better about keeping this fresh, henry i dont know how you do it..
