Jesus, Mary and Jojo the carpenter! I'm HERE!

I've been in Southampton, studying Film at the Solent University for two weeks now, and I still don't think it's sunk in.

Last week we grouped up, went out and filmed our first 'movie'. Sure it was a collection of stills run over in PowerPoint, but screw it, if La Jette can do it, so can we! (In fact, that was the point!)

Since then, we've had a handful of lectures, attended screenings of 12 Monkeys and The Matrix... (Oh the humanity! And as the year goes on I get forced... FORCED I TELL YOU! To watch The Terminator, Usual Suspects, Road to Perdition, Blade Runner, Seven... I don't know if I can take it!) formed groups and had full blown discussions about Film as an art form, as a cultural construct and all sorts of film buff faggottry.

I've met up with the local Anime Society, who've introduced me to a whole bunch of awesome series. I've been so disconnected from the Anime scene it's not even funny!

There is a HUGE roleplaying community down here, but no official RPG society at the Solent... (Hmmm.. is that destiny I hear on the breeze?)

Hell, I've not long ago had a girl in my room! A REAL girl! I'm telling you she was cute too! And no head injuries or anything! We watched a few episodes of Yatzee's Zero Punctuation games reviews together! Can you even believe that? I can barely believe it... and I was there!

I just cant believe it's happening! I keep waiting for a satellite to fall on my head or something, because things just don't go this good for me! I've always had the kind of life that makes me think I shagged a sacred goat in a previous existence!

Sure, it's not all awesome... I miss my folks, my bro and the dogs & cat. Not necessarily always in that order, but still. And I did have to go through a screening of 'Remy and Michelle's High School Reunion.'.

But the awesome usually outweighs the bad stuff a shitload-or-more-to-one.

Life is just freaking brilliant right now... 10 years. TEN YEARS of working my ass off and re-building my char-broiled brain, nothing but stacking shelves, running cash registers and explaining Buy-one-get-one-free deals, also a full year scrabbling for every possible credit at the highest level possible in a one-year college course... (It's official on my certificate now, Most credits of ALL students that year... I got 96 All at the highest level! Number 2 was 70-odd and a mix of levels 2-3!) !

Just goes to show, when you follow your dreams, wish on a star and keep a song in your heart... Fuck all will happen, unless you get your ass to work!

Love and hope to you all!
