How's your Christmas Eve going?

I'm taking the day off uni work as it's taking up far too much time.

Been to see family, panto, watching TV now after a fair amount of food.

Favourite moment of the night is my mum trying to find me vegetarian food in the supermarket, "I quite like those Paul McCartney sausages, you know." - no, I was blissfully unaware of his second career as a butcher.


What you studying?

Haha #VegetarianStruggles

I thought so! I have quite a few polish friends :smile: I myself am Lithuanian/Russian but we don't celebrate it the day before :frown:

Get anything nice? :smile:


Lithuanians do celebrate Christmas Eve! :colone:

Computer science, and doing everything in my power to dispel the myths that we all just live in blacked-out bedrooms with neon computers tapping away on black and green screens! How about yourself? :smile:

Other #VegetarianStruggles, all from my mum, include:

Do you eat eggs?

I've got some cheese and onion crisps - I checked the packet and it said they were suitable for vegetarians.

Will you eat any of the sausage rolls if I make them?

:rolleyes:

Darn :wink: why must you break the stereotype?!

I've applied for uni as I'm in year 13, planning on doing Film production.

Your mum sounds.. AMAZING!
Is she blonde by any chance? :wink:

But the bigger question is.. Will you eat her homemade sausage rolls? :colone:
I'm sitting watching endless episodes of Supernatural


It's so so so fun


I'll probably be doing the same tomorrow


Just as fun

Because it's a stereotype I don't live up to and I feel for all the other computer scientists out there suffering their same negative perception of lies :p:

Oooh that's exciting!! :biggrin: Where have you applied?

She's not blonde, just doesn't understand the veggie thing :facepalm:

The sausage rolls aren't even homemade - they're cooked from frozen. There is a packet of Jus-Rol on the side, but that's for making blue Stilton puffs :colone:

Aww and you are breaking free!

I've applied to: Brighton, Greenwich, UCA Farnham, Wolverhampton and Ravensbourne.

But I'm hoping to go to Ravensbourne. Where you studying at? :smile:

Bless mummy, secretly she's fed you so much meat you don't even know about it :wink:

What made you become a veggie if you don't mind me asking? :smile:

Hey, no cheese :wink:

Staying down south seems to be the trend then? Ravensbourne's really good for that I thought? :smile:

I'm at Nottingham, and enjoying being in a city instead of a small town in Wales for a change.

It's possible that she will at some point not realise there is meat in something and serve it up anyway!

I don't think it's necessary to eat meat / kill animals. Although I'm not someone who preaches it to the masses or goes on about it all the time - just finding my home conversations about it rather amusing :p:

Why no cheese?! I love cheese!! :biggrin:
