			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its probably about time I wrote something here, seeing as I can&#8217;t remember offhand the last good thing I wrote that wasn&#8217;t made with Ctrl-C and Crtl-V in MS Paint. And since I&#8217;m helping a relative shunt stuff into their first grotty student digs tomorrow, it made me go all wibbly wobbly, in such a way as one does when remeniscing about studenthood.</p>
<p>In my case, however, the result of my three years of university study seem to be a huge debt, a pretty yet useless cetificate, and a hermit-like existance similar to a dweller of 4chan. Still, I made some silly videos, which I shall reference as necessary.</p>
<p>1.) When times are hard, you can make a delicious meal out of anything. Even when times are plentiful, like the end of the year&#8230;</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/naEU0WmXAlY?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/naEU0WmXAlY?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>1 and a half.) However, not everything you try will be a triumph of culinary prowess, or even edible.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2iYnSXDJj4?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2iYnSXDJj4?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>2.) Make sure you work hard, hand in your essays on time, done to the best of your ability. It may seem boring and pointless at the time, but will result in a better scoring degree, which will be more useful. Do not waste your essay writing time filming yourself taking your shoes off.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbR8yet4j9g?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbR8yet4j9g?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>3.)  Don&#8217;t spend all your time working, however. Make sure you take some time out to have fun with your friends&#8230;</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hJLzNwVlpg?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hJLzNwVlpg?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>4.) If you&#8217;re going to play your music godawfully loud, make sure its good, or at the least, will not inspire people to gut you like a fish.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcC4btK0rcE?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcC4btK0rcE?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>Also, don&#8217;t invite your boyfriend to live with you and your housemates, then spend a year have screaming arguements.</p>
<p>5.) If someone doesn&#8217;t do their washing up, literlly beat them black and blue until they do it. No video here, but seriously.</p>
<p>6.) When you enter student accommodation in the first year, bring a bottle of something alcoholic to help make new friends. Then let the real you shine out.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyKb2mJjXHM?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XyKb2mJjXHM?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>7.) If you can record your own message on your doorbell, quote Dinosaur Comics when you&#8217;re drunk, and see what people say about it.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBcZlw6noMw?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBcZlw6noMw?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>8.) Smoke lots of pot.</p>
<p><span class="youtube">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="373" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/PjgPb6q31is?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PjgPb6q31is?color1=3a3a3a&amp;color2=999999&amp;border=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</span></p>
<p>9.) Have a ridiculously posh-sounding voice. Failing that, have an uneering resemblance to Mick Jagger.</p>
<p>10.) Don&#8217;t take anything people on the Internet say seriously.</p>
<p>Maybe one of these days, I&#8217;ll do something like this properly, without using it as an excuse to whore out my MePipe videos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- No matter how hard you look for one, someone else always has a bigger sombrero.</p>
<p>- Just because the ant powder declares it will kill fish, birds, and your garden, does not mean it will actually kill ants, or even mildly intimidate them. You want the spray that looks like water for that.</p>
<p>- Walnuts go with anything. Walnuts go with everything. Walnuts are delicious. Eat walnuts.</p>
<p>- Nowhere will sell you <a href="http://www.desperadosbeer.com/" target="_blank">the awesome tequilla flavoured beer</a> they have everywhere else in Europe. Even though its the Costa Brava, and they&#8217;re throwing sombreros at you.</p>
<p>- (I wish I had a better site to link to back there.)</p>
<p>- Seven year old cousins who know next to no English are nonetheless perfect mimics, as long as they mimic stuff you don&#8217;t want repeated, such as screaming, or the word &#8220;foot&#8221;.</p>
<p>- Spanish drivers do not believe in &#8220;smooth gear changes&#8221;, &#8220;careful driving&#8221;, &#8220;not stopping in the middle of a goddamn roundabout&#8221;, or &#8220;safe overtaking&#8221;.</p>
<p>- Seriously, I saw a moped overtaking a car, which was itself overtaking another car at the time.</p>
<p>- People who write tourist guidebooks have magical running powers, as they can apparently get up and down a steep, hilly and abundantly tall mountain in 40 minutes, where us normal people are wheezing with our hour each way.</p>
<p>- If you are so drunk you cannot even walk straight, you can nonetheless use a diving board.</p>
<p>- Sangria is goddamn delicious.</p>
<p>- Always make sure the DJ at the campsite bar has more than one CD, or you will hear &#8220;YMCA&#8221; played at least four times a night.</p>
<p>- If your girlfriend accidently trips you over, and your face is pointing in the direction of another girls behind for about a second as a result, you are cheating on your girlfriend. You horrible, <em>horrible</em> person.</p>
<p>- Don&#8217;t just fill the barbeque with gas and stick a match in there, or you&#8217;ll lose your eyebrows.</p>
<p>- Take the ring <em>off</em> of the security wire before trying it for size, or it will be too big.</p>
<p>- Thanks to no knowledge of Spanish, and a opposing incomprehension of English, you will never know whether the tattoo artist actually <em>met</em> David Gorman, or simply saw the Googlewhack Adventure DVD as well.</p>
<p>- Put some god damn suncream on already, being sunburned is <em>not fun damnit</em>.</p>
<p>- The pool is always cold, its just how hot you are at the time that changes whether that&#8217;s a good thing or not.</p>
<p>- Kittens cannot sit on sombreros.</p>
<p>- You cannot take the stray kittens home.</p>
<p>- No.</p>
<p>- <em>No you can&#8217;t.</em></p>
