"That is not how you fuckin spell 'pyjamas'" and "mad mouth parts" and "a spider is a spider" and "my grandparents are dead!" and "MY FUCKING FIST" ahahahaha I may never stop laughing. Also I think I may do that voice meme! It sounds very amusing.
THE ROYAL WEDDING VIDEO. YES. YESSSSSSSSS. BRILLIANT.
gfdfghbgfdfgvb they way Tom Hardy says "anything" at the end of that last video makes me laugh so much. He's fantastic. (He's also in Bank of Brothers jsyk~)

The accents meme is really good, like, I can rarely distinguish between the various US accents, but when the differences are highlighted by something like this it's really interesting. And the dialect words! Like 'Paki two-bobs', I mean it's obviously really offensive but that's a piece of social history right there. Yay language nerdery :D

Aha now I've seen part four... oh T-man. He's wonderful. (in BoB Tom Hardy has a sex scene, is that incentive enough for you to get to episode nine???)
I'd not heard of the term 'Paki two-bob' before. It's astoundingly offensive but just goes to show how much language changes!
Also I thought you might care to know~ next year I'm going to be doing a module on post-Roman Celtic Britain to make up my credits, a choice that was largely inspired by you! ♥

Post-Roman Celtic Britain sounds exciting but OMG I hope you don't hate it and then hate me D: I would probably struggle with it bc history is not my strong point (I don't even have a GCSE in it), but our academic sides obvs have different strengths, so OMG get it girl!
Funnily enough our ~academic paths cross~ in my head too bc I keep thinking of you while I'm doing my Foundation for Study in the Arts module... Like, I think my final essay is going to be on Plato and Marx, and when I read all the Platonic philosophy stuff I am like I BET CHARL WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS and when I read the Marx stuff I'm like I BET CHARL WOULD AGREE WITH THIS. (Not that I disagree with Marx, it's just I'm too underinformed to have Opinions about most stuff.)
Anyway, does that mean you found out you can definitely switch to Philosophy? Or are you still waiting to hear?

I'm sure I won't hate it, I always had a bit of a hard-on for ancient history even as a kid (especially the ancient Egyptians and Romans) so this is actually a pretty awesome opportunity! I don't have a history GSCE either, but I'm sure I'll be fiiiiiine.
Oh that's awesome :D I really do not like Plato tbh, luckily I don't have to do much about him in second year. Aha yes it's lucky we didn't have a seminar on Marx this year, or I would have outed myself as a bit of a commie (oh who am I kidding with 'a bit'. I'm such a Marxist I think it disturbs my Westcountry middle-class family sometimes, haha)
Well I can switch providing I pass this year! Which means I need to do lots of work for my summer exams, then lots of work for my retakes (since I failed everything in January). And then I will be able to go back to uni in October and just start Philosophy straight away. I have been provisionally accepted onto the course, so long as I pass my maths :I

Oh, yay! I'm sure you can pass if you put your mind to it, especially knowing that then it'll be ALL PHILOSOPHY ALL THE TIME. Which sounds awful to me, but then SO DID MATHS AND PHILOSOPHY so what do I know about your degree programme xD

Aha, Hume's like that, he uses so much flowery language he's really difficult to read.
'All philosophy all the time' will definitely trump having to do maths sometimes.
ACTUALLY I SHOULD BE REVISING NOW BUT, YOU KNOW. I'm still at this stage in my revision process:
