vyvyanxSo, went to feast. Saw A and C beforehand for drinks. Sat between two elderly fellows, and opposite a fellow's wife so deaf that I was obliged to write notes to communicate with her. I'm not a fast eater at the best of times; it was almost impossible when I was trying to write, and juggle intense academic grilling from two directions at once. This is why almost everyone invites a guest to these blasted feasts. It's not in order to chat to them, it's in order not to have to chat to two fellows simultaneously, each of whom are so old and have spent so long in college that they are bored out of their minds talking to the same people at every meal, and will jump at the chance to chat to someone new.
Meal was nice, though; much alcohol; I am drunk. Afterwards, went to Master's Lodge and Combination Room; chatted mostly to A and C, bitching gloriously about the ghastly fashion disasters most women at the feast were. Asked A and C to pick their favourite guy at the feast. They picked a boring-looking guy with short dark hair. I said I fancied M (random fellow in my and A's year, with short dark hair). They said, "Urgh, no, his hair is terrible". I couldn't see it myself, to tell the truth. Anyway, M and his guest came over to chat after a bit, and I said, "I would have had a guest, but he couldn't make it." A laughed, and said, "That's a bit of a euphemism, isn't it?" So I said, "Ok, he dumped me". M said (to A, I guess), "That's rather harsh, isn't it?" then to me, "I was just dumped too". I felt sympathetic for him. He seemed to smile at me lots after that.
Then A and C and I went back to A's room to drink and chat. All very amusing and pleasant and enlightening about everything. I asked if they thought I should go after M. A thought, I could have him once, but no more. "Why?" "Because I think the guy only wants to go out with women stupider than him." I'm not sure why A thinks this, but I trust him; I never spot these things. I might try and shag M though; I just want his body :-)
Came back to room v. pissed and happy that nothing terrible happened tonight. Found email waiting for me from GT, an actuary I know somewhat. He asks me out in a very icky way eg. "When you get it just right you are incredibly sexy" and "I am very very good when I am sober and inspired" !!! Eww. I am not keen at all. In fact I feel positively disturbed. I'm not sure what to do; I don't want to upset or annoy the guy; he's been a friend for a long time. Christ, this is why I've been attached so long. When I'm single I can't escape endless distressing attempts to pick me up. No one I actually fancy ever seems to make a pass at me, and if they do, they were only lying in the first place...
