Thursday thoughts plus uni woes, part trois.

Evidently, ModBlog shat itself so bad that it now has a prolapsed rectum. Ergo, still no images.

And okay, so maybe organic chemistry lab wasn't so bad today. In all fairness, it wasn't quite organic chemistry. For some reason, we were synthesising inorganic compounds (the [Ni(en)₃]Cl₂.2H₂O I mentioned yesteday). The lab tutors on the level five lab didn't seem to know much about anything, seeing as it wasn't their field, but were captivated by the colours that they usually don't mess around with - pretty purple.


I picked up the Queer Edition of Honi Soit today and skimmed over it at our regular Thursday morning Manning hashbrown session. Homophobia was mentioned several times in it, I noticed, which isn't entirely unexpected seeing as it is one of the big queer issues. I have no doubt that it exists but I can't recall a time when I was a victim of it. I suppose I should count myself lucky.

Incidently the other week, in one of his more sensitive moments, Dave asked me if I'd ever been picked on specifically because of the gay thing and after thinking about it for a while, I told him that it hadn't ever happened to me. Even the most outspoken anti-gay boy in my year group in high school (who happened to be drop dead gorgeous, too) went out of his way to tell me how he'd had a sneaking suspicion that I was into lifting shirts instead of chasing skirts and how cool he was with it. And that was after he'd heard a rumour that I wanted to fuck his brains out. I was touched - obviously not in the way that I would've liked but you make do with what you have.

So after the clear run I've had, would I be right in thinking that it could all come crashing down? I hope not.
