I'm Elph: early 20s, raging lesbian, obsessive watcher of television, hypersomniac, former cult member. I have a lot of marketable skills, but no skills with which to market them. Got kicked out of university about seven months ago for being too disabled; still unemployed; trying desperately to get a proper autism assessment from a psychiatrist who thinks that Real Autistics™ don't understand humour, which is not fun at all. (He also thinks I smoke cigars, though, so I don't exactly trust his opinions.) My interests include folk magic, linguistics, sex, psychology, and rocking back and forth grinning and flapping my hands because I love TV/movies/books so much.
Alas, it is not my cat; it's a photo taken by a friend of mine, probably of a cat belonging to one of the Fellows at St John's College, Cambridge. This explains its luxurious background and expression of entitlement/evil. The cigar thing is probably a transcription error, actually. I sometimes use nicotine vapourisers to help with my hypersomnia; either he misremembered and/or his secretary took it down incorrectly, thus: vapouriser->e-cigarette->cigarette->cigar. Still, 'uses vapourisers' and 'smokes cigars' are really not interchangeable, and he's been a dickhead in various other ways, so I don't value his judgement.
I see. But that's still a really stupid mistake to make. I suppose you must have corrected him a few times and he just refuses to remember? Or it's just not worth it? And would it be easy switching to another one?
I've only met him once; this was from his letter reporting back to my GP from that single appointment. It was three weeks late and riddled with factual errors, but that's a story for another thread... I've been trying to sort the whole mess out for a month now. Suffice to say the entire system is an omnishambles.
Sounds like you'd fit in quite well here then! Welcome and stuffs. And yes, gorgeous haughty cat avatar. I'm guessing you're in the UK?
Yep! I was actually at the University of Cambridge before I was, as previously stated, kicked out for being too disabled. I'm actually British-American, but have been living in the UK for eight years, and have had cultural/national/family connections here for my entire life. The photo was taken by a cute girl I met at a Cambridge goth night. With my luck, she's on this forum too, and is looking at me calling her cute and using her cat picture and thinking how dorky I am. :P
Oh hey, I grew up in Cambridge. (And then...left...ASAP. Cambs is cute but small.) Which college were you at? ETA errr that's a bit personal, isn't it. No obligation to answer.
(Every comment I've started writing here has sent my foot directly into my mouth. So whatever.) :/ I've not heard great things about CU's disability support. Sounds really stressful, sorry you had to go through that.
