    Very true :rofl:

    I suppose it must be quite nerve wracking going up to someone and being like "are you on TSR?". I did the London Oxbridge Regional Conference and I knew another Oxford TSR person was also there as a helper (my housemate aside) and I wanted to find out who it was but didn't have the nerve to ask anyone if they're on TSR :o:
    I confess I did spend a year being too shy/embarrassed to say hi to hoofbeat in lectures. Meets could also be quite awkward if there was no-one you know there yet. "Hi, are you the bunch of randomers off the internet?"

    I'd never met anyone, beyond nodding at Athena twice until 3rd year.
    You through me several times in randori at judo. But we didn't actually speak :p:

    Also, to your previous claims of being sweet and innocent :lies:

    As I think I've said before, though, TSR is a great way of stalking incoming applicants. One managed to insult me and incur my wrath even before he arrived and he still has no idea who I am :p:

    I'm sure I nodded at you. That's almost speaking :p: Anyway I haven't thrown you around *recently* so that's ok.

    I am very sweet and innocent. :yep: I don't see how you can claim any differently. :nah:

    What avatars have you had before, aside from the current one and the owl?

    Edit: This thread is for current students to procrastinate, banter and molest each other. So applicants, PFO!


    Since I got post 10,000 in the last one, here's the new one. HA! :woo:

    I'm so sad
    I only just noticed this edit! :eek3:

    Don't you just hate it when you're the only one up, the rest of the house is dark and spider large enough that you can hear it move on the wooden floor through the silence runs under the door and comes straight at you...

    I'm with ixivxivi - the owl was awesome.

    Anyway, get off TSR and go and have fun with real-world people (well, as close as you get to such things oop north) :tongue:

    I first met Drogue knowing that he was from TSR but not at a meet - at the FRESHERS FAIR :eek: He told us all that he'd be at the AIESEC stall and be the only one in an orange AIESEC t-shirt because they only had one, so I went and whispered...

    Drogue added me on Facebook ages before I actually knew who he was. I'm still not sure how he found me (although I guess I was a more active TSRer back then), but when I did go to a meet that he was also at, the penny dropped that we'd been Facebook friends for about a year already, haha.

    Ugh, scouts are so annoying. Couldn't sleep last night, so decided to give myself a lie in to recover, so that I wouldn't be too tired to revise. Guess what? Scouts have 45 min long conversation outside my door at 8.30am. Grrr.

    Our awful scout from first year used to come in around 9-10am, empty the bins, then either chat to the next door building's scout or on the phone for hours in our common room. She'd then disappear around lunchtime, leaving her scarf and coat and then reemerge around 3pm to collect said scarf and coat.

    I complained and she got put on probation :p:

    There were spiders as big as my palm in last year's accommodation. One crept up on me in the shower :eek: Another time one decided to sit on my door for a few hours and none of the boys would get rid of it for me :cry:
