first tumble in the snow of the year: check.

Admittedly, it was pretty stupid of me to look out the window yesterday morning and go 'oh, yesterday's snow has melted, surely it won't snow again today!' and put on high heeled boots. Yes, okay, I admit it, it was stupid. Especially considering the amount of snow that fell from 10 a.m. onwards. The most ridiculous thing, though, was probably that I managed to keep on my feet for the entire duration of the walk home — the wet, slippery walk home — only to tumble arse over head around the corner of my own street.

But that was also the day when my History of the English Language teacher went — 'no, no, that's the Old English word for was, not for booth, there weren't any telephone booths in England in the 800s — well, unless the Doctor happened to be around, but —' so, all in all, not a bad day. (So right, I probably was the one who understood that little bit. Didn't stop me from grinning like a fool for the rest of the class, though.)

That said.



I will just be there, staring (waistcoats, ♥) and wondering how the hell to work that into a story. Because, seriously. It'd be bleedin' awesome.

Your History of the English Language teacher is awesome. No holds barred. Even my nerdy biology teacher who quoted Star Trek was clueless whenever I referenced it.

And I can totally see Fred and George Weasley lounging around like that (I know it's not them, shush).

I want some pretty snow! Also, if that's how it is in France, how it like across the Channel? XD

*grin* It's snowing there too? Its snowing here and I'm like Oo because I'm in Alabama! It doesn't snow here, what parallel universe have I entered?

(also, why is this site not telling me when people comment on my stuff? Where have I gone wrong?! *dramatic wail*)
