Okay, seeing as KT pointed out that I haven't posted in about a month, I figured it was time.
So, my life the past while. Am now working at Sammy' Student Exchange. It's not so bad, the work is easy, most of the people are fun, and I make a fortune the nights I work as a bartender. Have finished 2 of my exams, the most recent one was a bit of a mess though. The exam was on wednesday at 11 o'clock. My power went out, my alarm never went off. I slept right through the thing and woke up at 1 o'clock and promptly flipped out. Luckily my prof is a GODDESS and she let me re-write the exam yesterday. Seriously, gonna go buy her a really big pack of cookies. I love it when people suprise you in a good way!!
Heading home to Caledon in a few hours, bum about with the family for a day and just relax a bit. Then off to Kitchener on saturday to watch Tiff's Cicus show, should be fun! Me and Jenn are moving into one of the apartments across the courtyard over the break, so I get to rearrange everything and try and move in a day again. (this should be just.... so much fun). I have 2 more presents to go and then I'm finally done all my shopping. Just a few people are rather hard to shop for, or insist that they don't want a present. Well tough. You're getting one. End of story.
I have finally managed to infect both KT and Tiff with the love of Doctor Who. I did it through the new spin off: Torchwood. I figured if anything could seduce them over to the dark side of fandom, it would be my beloved intergalactic manwhore Captain Jack Harkness. And damn did he ever. I have endured rants that encompase both blessing and cursing me for getting them addicted. I have just one thing to say to them all: 17 days till new Who.
Now for KT's challenge: what fandom shaped your view of reality? Although I grew up watching and reading and being involved with ALOT of different fandoms, the one that truly changed it all: Narnia. My dad used to read me the books when I was little, till I was old enough to read them myself. Star Trek was great fun, and I loved Lord of the Rings, but I was so INVOLVED in Narnia. I used to put myself in the books, wandering about the house (and my friends houses, and grandparents, etc, etc...) opening wardrobe and closet doors and digging into them, hoping that this time I could find the door to Narnia, slip through the cracks in the world and go off anf have grand adventures with Aslan and the White Witch.
Life is gonna be rather dull the next few weeks: work, study, sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. But I'll do what I've done every Christmas since I could read on my own: set aside a few days, curl up with my copies of Lord of the Rings and Narnia, and step out of the world for a little while.
