I just got my last result for this year's exams: I passed all of them ('cept for Java, but let's not talk about that)!!! :D

Now it's just that annoying Flash project that stands between me and my summer holidays!

Ok, so a few days a go I saw something that could be considered minor, but to me represents a great big deal:

I was travelling home on the train and dozing away when all of a sudden I noticed the chair back in front of me.

On it was written

"Jess is a dyke"

and underneath some soul had written

"So whAt?" (I know middle letters aren't meant to be capitalized, that was the font used)

I have never been so grateful to a complete stranger before. Seriously, in two words, someone out there restored my faith in humanity

THANK YOU

xxxx

its totally completely possible that the intense little lingering moments that I have with Leon are all in my head. possible, but unlikely. considering he's the one who makes them linger. like cuddling, and he's there and I shift away and he pulls me back. Or at training when we're sparring each other (got the comment that watching the two of us sparring makes others feel dirty like they've been watching lover making out).

and its little comments, or even big comments. things like 'I hate leaving you, hate this moment so much'.

ungh.

just when I figured I had gotten over it.

I saw it! This has probably been said a million times over but it is just as good as everyone has said, it's not over-hyped at all. AHH. I...don't even have anything coherent to say at all. It was fucking AWESOME.

Oh, heh, I almost didn't get in to see it because they thought I was under 17 (I'm 22...) and I didn't have my I.D. I didn't think to bring it because um, I didn't think I would need it. They had to ask the manager to come out. So embarrassing.

But it was worth it. SO DARK AND CREEPY AND AWESOME!!! I want to go AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN (and would if it weren't for lack of money).

I don't really like films. Normally when I say this someone (most likely Tiph or Neal) interrupts me and starts arguing the point. I'm pretty sure that Tiph is safely back in the UK (somewhere in Cambridgeshire in fact) working at the bar of the Secret Garden Party after roaming around Europe, and that Neal is sitting comfortably in London. Nonetheless I still wouldn't be that surprised if one of them came bursting in here to prise my fingers away from the keys so that I can't explain that I don't really like films. I've bolted the door though, so I think I might just get away with it.

Obviously I do like some films, love them even. My favourite films list isn't exactly empty. However, overall I just don't see myself as a filmic person- I think that it's partly because it wasn't really a huge part of my childhood.  I haven't seen most 'classic' films, whether they're the ones you see in your childhood or just the ones "everyone" has seen like the original Star Wars films or Jaws. The ones that I have gotten around to seeing, such as Edward Scissorhands or Hallowe'en, I saw aeons later than everyone else in the world, and often involuntarily. Movies just haven't been a large part of my life, and it isn't that surprising when you consider how crappy so many of them are, and that when I was a child I had awful hearing a lot of the time, and there weren't a lot of subtitles floating about.

I'd also like to add that I prefer TV shows (and books). Obviously there are a hell of a lot of terrible shows, but since I don't own a TV I only end up picking and choosing the things that I really want to watch, and I get to enjoy watching real character development and intricate, evolving story arcs- in a way that you don't really get in a film.

As an older person I have given way a little. My hearing is better anyway, and there's a greater abundance of subtitles. I'm able to pick and chose what I want to watch a lot more thanks to the glory of the internet and the ease of access to international cinema (so there's a bit more choice between rubbish Hollywood blockbusters # 1, 2 and 3). Still, I'm not a film person- even if I do get watch-y a lot more than I used to. There's so many films that I do want to get around to watching (crap, I forgot to pack Cool Hand Luke after I went to all the trouble to copy it before I left, maybe someone can find it and post it to me?), but they're going to have to take a back seat to all the books and shows on my list.

Having said all that you might be almost as confused as me as to why I thought that watching Hancock would be a good plan.


Here's something which suits my attention span better, and happily combines my love of Avenue Q, Supernatural, the internet and porn. Sadly there's no actual porn, but should you want to find some, the internet is for porn (especially in China and South Korea apparently).
