a very mad party

British Word of the Day: pitch - A large, grassy area upon which various sports are played. The 'pitch' generally has borders within which football, ultimate frisbee, or croquet may be played. (American's "field.") eg: "Let's all go out onto the pitch and start a match."

Today was particularly fun.

It consisted of a lot of sugar, tea, chocolate, and charity shopping. So you may imagine.

The Mad Hatter Tea Party was a wonderful idea by our "JCR" (Junior Common Room) (students who put on events etc. for our program). Junior Deans dressed up as Mad Hatter and the March Hare, and tea was dribbled and sugar was spilled and cream was tossed every which way. But I still managed to get a decent cup of peppermint tea.

I dressed up in a simple pink dress and a flowery, feathery headpiece, and was dubbed The Snarky Iris. I was perfectly fine with this, and it added suitably to my character as the day wore on.

The snarkiest iris that ever lived.

I have some sleep to snatch before tomorrow. Though it's still early, saying "I'm going to bed" and actually climbing into aforementioned item are completely different things. Forty-five minutes usually seems to sneak in there somewhere.

But this means I may be in bed before midnight, which is incredibly appalling to some, but indubitably appealing to me.

Goodnight! (+ 45 minutes = actual bed time)

Cheers!
