Am reading a book about fanfic. The chapter on slash is not actually convincing me, due to relying on a definition of slash that is about emotional characteristics rather than gender. But it did include the phrase "so far into the closet he's looking at real estate prices in Narnia", which made me laugh.


Yes, I'm reading about writing again. I'll get back to doing writing in a bit. I think.

You know what is not cool? The closer I get to term starting, the less sure I am I even want to study English. I mean, I got so much interesting out of sociology. I feel like... I should go study things and then pour them into english type stuff. Studying English, I'm just not sure I'll get anything new to pour in.

This is probably incredibly arrogant, but I don't mean it that way. I just mean... I don't even know.

I wanted to do film & television. Logically the same things would apply to that. But I also wanted to do one of the ones that were all society & philosophy & media, and that would have covered a lot of other stuff.

Arrrgh.

I know what I want to do. I want to do English at Access level so I can find out if I actually want to do it for six years at degree level. Unfortunately I've now finished Access level, so I got to go do a degree.

Probably.

Do you think they'd let me back in if I asked nicely?


... It would be really nice to have a calling. You know, the kind of I Must Do This kind of thing that people on TV seem to get. A big shiny future thing to work towards.

I thought I felt fairly strongly about writing, but twelve thousand words in I find it isn't half as cool as what I feel about Having Written.

Yeah, LJ is really helpful with all this self expression stuff.
