...Pratchett as the Dispenser of All Human Wisdom. I deserve those five exclamation marks today. Oh, by Io, the Lady and Offler I truly do.      So, many of you know I've applied to Oxford University, specifcally Merton College as it's actually kind of a good luck name for our family.

In OXford! The happy coincidence of all those factors was enough to totally blow my mind :D HEEEEEE And now and now and NOW, I'm going to go finish doing some stuff for Cherwell, which I hope makes it into...

Parker's in crisis mode. There are three terrified geeks in the Dolphin Hall IT Lab who would like to go home, now. *riiiing* "Did I say you could leave? Did I ?" And the geek slinks back to his station. *riiiing* [for the PA with the mallet and the megaphone]

Oops. Kind of neglected this for the longest time. I think 5 weeks? Oh well, haha. Despite being in Oxford nothing -that- interesting has actually happened.
