Today: Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three!

Good thing about inter-library loans: You get books you would usually have to buy.
Bad thing about inter-library loans: You can only keep the books for three weeks, with no extensions.
Good thing about photocopiers: They exist.

My parents are getting new furniture for their living room. They will also paint the walls and get a new carpet because, as mum says, they probably won't do it again and so might as well do it the right way.
The upshot of this is that I now have, in my living room, a new table which used to stand downstairs. A real honest-to-goodness living room table instead of the ex-garden thing that stood there until yesterday. It looks great.

I was out clothes shopping with mum today. She actually bought me a skirt - a light, sandy brown chequered overknee thing with a certain air of British Schoolgirl-ness. Then I went and bought a fitting lipstick. All I need now are some cool boots.
Good grief. Am I turning into a Chav?

No renewals, huh? ILLs at my library do check out for three weeks, but we allow one renewal.

Still, ILLs are just awesome, I love it.

No renewals. This is Germany, after all. ;)

Am I turning into a Chav?

Nuh-uh, the skirt would have to be short denim, or pvc, what you have sounds far too sensible for chavvy. Although, buy a hoodie top (preferably hot pink velour), it'll be a start, and definitely trainers;)

And don't forget to wear lots of jewellry and call everyone mate!

*jigles with the blink* Like that, mate? ;)

I'll never be a Chav then, hot pink just isn't my colour. ;) I could do with a hoodie, though...

What's a Chav?

[tysolna]

British slang: Someone who's fixated on fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery (Generally gold), and designer clothing with the beige Burberry pattern, and generally "hip" brands of clothes, or hip-hop fashion. Not the most intelligent person in town, hangs around outside McDonald's looking for fun of all kinds.

Like, you know, cool kids imitatiating those guys in rap music videos, yo! ;)

(and I didn't know that, either, before I saw Doctor Who)
