NEDs

I was walking thru Kelvin Park today (luckily with my friend Emily) and saw 2 guys shoving each other, then one of them punched the other in the face. Emily pretended not to look and we kept walking, but then I said, "did you see that?!" She said yeah, those are definitely NED's.
NED = Non Educated Delinquents.
One night a few weeks ago I also saw 2 NED's spray painting their symbol, sign, signature, i dunno what it was. But I have seen the same symbol various other places.
Needless to say, that was my wakeup call today as to why ppl keep telling me not to walk thru the park at night alone. It was good timing to, bcuz I went to a club w/Becca, her bro, Sophie and Rebecca #3 last night and we walked home thru the park at 3am, but we were with 3 guys so it was ok. I did learn that it is more dangerous for a man to get raped in the park than a woman.
I also went home alone on St. Patrick's Day, got lost, only had 5 pounds with me, couldn't find a taxi, none of the girls had their phones on, walked in the wrong direction and finally got a cab, which cost exactly 5 pounds, finally getting back to Cairncross around 4am, and I thought the girls had left the club already but somehow, in the midst of everything I beat them home. Needless to say, I will now stick to them like glue and NOT go off by myself.
*rolls eyes* at own personal stupidity.

Anyways....I gave my presentation for Scot Lit today. I am all finished for the year, next week is the last week of classes, then I don't have exams until May! I have only had 4 hours of sleep the past 2 nights. I felt fine today, I even wanted to go out again tonight, tho no one else would! I went to the movie screening for my Film&Tv class, and I almost fell asleep except that my head went backwards into the plastic on the seat and I jolted awake. Guess I was more tired than I thought lol. I'm going to bed early tonight...I'm going to Paisley w/Becca tomorrow to some kind of party...I don't know where Paisley is, but we have to take the train and I'm excited!

  1. Whoa, wait. Guys get raped more often in that park than women do? Did I read that right? But yeah, you really shouldn't go out at night alone, silly goose. I can't believe you have a month after class and before exams! That's crazy!
