Packing and Uni Excitement

[rudelypinioned]

I'm going to Uni in three days! Waking up early on Saturday morning and travelling four hours up to Keele with my Dad and Steven. Am mildly petrified, but you know what? I actually feel optimistic about this. I'm usually such a pessimist, so this is significant. I'm going to Uni to try and make something of myself! And get on HIGNFY. I can see the

Your hair is so lovely and straight!

Thankyou ^_^ It really takes some doing - it's naturally curly and probably my biggest pet hate... I wouldn't mind, but it means I have to avoid rain like it's undiluted acid when I'm out and about... Otherwise it becomes an afro *shakes head*

Hey you'll never guess, right... When I was in the journalism room, catching up on the flist and making comments, this girl Charlotte (who I've talked to quite a lot this last week - she's really nice) asked me what I was doing... I told her it was LiveJournal, and she hadn't heard of it... So I explained to her what it was all about *grins* Next thing I'm explaining about GloveLove, and our trip to London - showing her the Merton Pride community... Telling her about the rest of the slash, and everything else! She thinks I'm mad, but I tell you it was a real moment of bonding...

Oh and when we were flicking through the posts, she asked me about your icon... And I'm just there going, 'yeah, that's Chip Esten - you mainly like, slash him with Wayne... and sometimes Greg and stuff...' I'm sure she wants to know all about it, deep down ^_~

Haha, you should get one of those novelty umbrella hats :p Well, go you cause you'd never guess it was naturally curly or even wavy! (Although with an afro you'd get free entry into Discothemed party nights!) My hair tends to flick up annoyingly if I keep putting it behind my ears.. It's so tempting just to chop it all off somedays! :p

Yay - convert her, convert her! You should teach an introductory course at uni! That really is cool, how you know people who will at least sit and listen to you talk about this stuff! There's bound to be some other slashers in Sheffield out there somewhere..

Oh and when we were flicking through the posts, she asked me about your icon. *feels famous* Ahh Chip.. if he isn't a great introduction to the fandom, who is? (Aside from ColinGregRyanetc) I'm downloading The Office US episode with him in it right now.. just out of curiousity :p

We should really make a Channel Four documentary about Slash and travel England and other countries to interview people! We could interview fans, people on the street, talk to psychologists and even authors and actors to find out how they feel about it. I read an interview with J K Rowling and she knows all about the slash, so it would be cool to record her opinion on it!
