surprises (or not)
I avoided my fandom like the plague when I leant that there was a rumour out.
Of course, the only thing that could stir up the fandom as much as it had done was the return of Billy Piper.
So although I guessed that was the case, I kept away from any spoilers at all, meaning it was just so much easier to stay away from everything than to sift through everything for spoiler warnings (keeping in mind that after a while it was no longer considered a spoiler)
They say ignorance is bliss, and I was blissfully unaware of the true extent of the spoilers. Although I had an educated guess, nothing was certain, which meant I was not eagerly anticipating the return of Doctor Who. I wasn't having sleepless nights wondering how they were going to bring Rose back and I was trying to ignore the fact that it would be coming out soon so that I wouldn't be aching for it to come back.
Strangely enough, though, I wasn't surprised when I saw Rose. I don't know if my brothers were when they saw it, but I sure wasn't. All I had to exclaim about was the return of the beautiful Doomsday music, something I had to show off from my soundtrack straight after we watched the ep (just in case my brothers didn't know how smart I was).
So... I guess it is a return to fandom for me. Hooray! Not right at the moment, though, it being 12am and I have to go to uni tomorrow morning.
Uni... uni, uni, uni.
Today I had an epiphany about why I'm at uni.
I mean, I know how to write already, and all of this theoretical stuff is just driving me absolutely nuts. I hated English when I was at school, so this course taking that deadly path is not something I'm really in for.
See, I have this lecturer, and she was talking passionately about the work she is finishing at the moment. And that's when I thought it:
I'm there for the passion.
I've always had a passion for writing, and the thing about the uni course is that it inspires me to stretch my limits. I'm not learning anything particuarly interesting, but I'm finding myself again in my writing and it is marvellous.
Theory is still boring as hell, but I am so grateful for the lecturer I have on Wednesdays and her passion.
And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hanging out with other writers. Who knew that in real life, writers could be so wonderful? I love to spend time with others who share my passion. I love making new friends, and they want to read my work! Feeding my ego, woo!
Well, I'll keep you posted, look into actually paying attention to LJ once more, and I'll get back into writing. As I write this, my computer is downloading MS Office, so I'll finally have MS Word again.
Love you all!
Good night all. I'm ready for a brand new season of fandom
:) :D :)
