I've applied to:
English Lit and Sociology at University of Glasgow
English Lit and Sociology at Strathclyde University
English Lit and Scottish Ethnology at University of Edinburgh
English and Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University
English Lit and American Studies at University of Dundee
Over the next few days I got emails from Glasgow and Edinburgh saying that they'd recieved my application and would consider it blah blah blah, probably have a reply/offer some time in February/March. I pretty much shat myself when both these emails arrived.
Today I got home to an email telling me to check my application status.
I got an UNCONDITIONAL from Dundee. Which means I'm definitely going to University. I actually danced around the room screaming.
So, yeah. WOOOOOO!!!!!!

So if anyone knows anything about fairy mythology, particularly the darker side of fairies, and has any images they'd care to share, or even knowledge to impart, I would be much obliged.
Thank you =)

The scenery is amazing. Somewhere on the west coast, near Tighnabruaich, there's a bit in between two villages; a sharp turn to the left and you're driving alongside a magnificent valley with rolling mist and eery silence. It's beautiful.
Once I can, I fully intend to go on 'drives'. Visiting parts of the country I haven't seen in ages, or even at all. And when given the option I will always, always take the B road.
What will be blasting out my speakers?
Anything and everything, most likely, I have very eclectic tastes. But without a doubt I will have the following songs:
Amy MacDonald - The Road to Home
The Proclaimers - 500 Miles
Runrig - Loch Lomond
Highland Cathedral
Flower of Scotland
I mean, I'm driving through the Scottish countryside here, I have to have some tradition...

I would cry like last year, but I'm way too tired for that.
English - A
Maths - B
Drama - C
French - B
Physics - B
I got an A for English, with no tutor... and I got a B FOR PHYSICS!
Nothing else matters. Also because I have what I need to get into Edinburgh!!!!
I'm now painfully hungry after all that stress. So excuse me while I go have a celebratory pig out.

So. The wait is almost over. Today is the much anticipated - more frequently dreaded - results day.
I actually think I'm going to die of nerves. Or throw up. Or both...
I wasn't this bad last year, but then, last year my future didn't depend on them, and I was pretty confident about the results. This year... well, you saw my blog posts.
In roughly 45 minutes the SQA start sending out the emails and texts - this is a service which I have opted into as my post doesn't come until 1200 - 1300. NOWAY would I be able to wait that long - emails can arrive any time between eight and nine.
I'm on msn with my friends at the moment, after having pulled an all-nighter, which is helping. It helps to know my pain is a shared burden.
My parents will tell me that it would be better if I'd gone to sleep, that I wouldn't notice the time passing. They fail to realise that as a general rule I wake up with the sun; then politely tell the sun to shove it up its ass. Today, I wouldn't have been able to go back to sleep, and there would still be the nervous wreck you see before you.

A while ago, erin_giles posted a banner/wallpaper which used the five stages of grief – one for each episode. I thought it was quite clever, but I’ve never really gone in for that. Not everyone grieves in the same way, so how could it be that everyone manages to fall into the same five stages?
But after looking at them online, and looking at the Torchwood fandom after Children of Earth aired… I’m starting to reconsider…

So, I just got an email from my uncle. I have no idea if he meant it in seriousness or not, but I replied as if he had. Means I can apologise later.
Thought I'd post it here for the purpose of discussion. It's about an email called "Muslims Vs UK".

But if you're one of many who decided to voice these strong opinions and treat James Moran like crap via his blog and twitter... well, gee, I don't even wanna know you.
ETA:
Today I watched an ep of The West Wing called "Han". Han is a Korean word which it is explained has no literal English translation. It is a state of being, of soul even. A sadness so deep no tears will come; but where there's still hope.
I say this because I'd never really felt it till now.

As some of you may know, my poor Sherlock has been having some difficulty recently. A screw came loose a while ago and I stupidly assumed it would be ok.
It has come to this -
I emailed Dell, and have conversed with a lovely chap whom I have decided to name Rupesh, after the new TW character. Even though his name (which escapes me) starts with a P. And I'd been hoping for Mohinder as well.
So. Sherlock is still under warranty (for the next 10 days, eep!) and will hopefully be collected on Friday, if not a little later. Tomorrow I'm backing up Everything.
This means I may be absent for a while. I'll be away from Twitter - will miss that most of all - and lj, unless I brave our old banger Mrs Hudson.
It also means a slight delay to writing. I had planned to do it this week with Torchwood as a fresh beacon of OHMYGOD in my brain; but typing is a no go lest it get wiped. I'll write some longhand, but once Sherlock is returned to me I'll be right up in there.
And yes. Yes I have named all my technical belongings after Sherlock Holmes characters. My mobile is called Hound and my BT Home Hub is Watson. What of it? =P

Yes, I do know The Circle Song. Get over it.
Right, so, the maths exam. Well, there’s not that much to say about it, you’ll be pleased to hear. The main problem with maths is that it’s fucking difficult. I enjoy it, in fact I love maths to the point that I have considered taking Advanced Higher, but since I think I’ve failed this one rather epically, well…
Maths is rather basic. You have paper 1, which is non-calculator – I thought this went ok. It wasn’t great, it was quite hard in fact, but it wasn’t horrific – and paper 2, where you can use a calculator – this, on the other hand, was horrific. Now please excuse me while I go attempt to rid myself of the horrible memories of the Maths exam which I have failed so hard.
Methinks I’ll be resitting next year =(

So, I finally have a spare moment do update on the happenings of my exams (I’m finished!!! Aaah!!! I’ll post one update per day from now =] ) and so I bring you the Drama Exam in full. (Well, not really, that’d involve babbling with quotes again…)

I was going to go to Henry Ibsen's Ghosts playing at The Citz tomorrow night - 1930 to 2110
I have since been informed that I have a dentist appointment and my mum is refusing to cancel/move it.
The ticket is £7 and unless someone else takes the ticket, I have to pay for a seat I aint using
Anyone wanna go???
- Mood: anxious
Oh God, I feel like such crap. Do I really need to do this Drama exam? Really?
Gah.
I'm here because of two things - firstly that I've forgotton my After Elton ID so that I can comment an article that many (ignorant) Americans have decried Graham Norton on.
Secondly - Heroes.

I know, I should be studying Drama right now, but there’s not much to be doing apart from learning quotes. I promise I shall bugger off and do that within the hour.
For now, I would like to dissect the horror that was the Higher English Exam.

One full easter egg and half a box of chocolates.
I don't feel so good.
I'm also bored. I might even have to go study in a bit.
And I'm going out tomorrow =/
I wonder what Lewis has against parks?
But yes. There is no longer stress. Only blehness.
This is much less exciting.
Yes, it's after exams so technically I can wait as long as it takes =P But I honestly love Stratford, and even though Bloody Jamie will be there attempting to ply me with booze and drugs, and Jocelyn's likely to be pissed all the time, I'll have Lisa and Seona and Jeanie (squee) to keep me company XD
The Stratford trip is filled with free time, which is fantastic because it's such a beautiful wee town; a couple of trips (Warwick Castle and London) and plays and drama workshops at the RSC and the Courtyard.
Last year we were in one of the rehearsal rooms at the RSC and <i>we were in the room next to David Tennant</i>
Poo didn't deign to speak to us though =(
The performances this year include "A Winter's Tale", "Julius Caesar", "As You Like It" (at the Globe) and "A Comedy of Errors".
And one of the workshops is with Ali Troughton! Yes, that's right, related to The Doctor and Much. I absolutely love her, she's insane and funny and awesome - and went to RSAMD with Ms B I do believe.
A conversation between she and I last year went like this -
Ali - Does anyone watch Robin Hood?
Me - Oh, me, I do!
Ali - Oh goodie! You know Robin's little friend, Much?
Me - OHMYGODILOVEHIM!!!
Ali - *is amused* That's my son.
Me - *blushing so damn much* Oh.... right.... ok.... *dies*
T'was fun =P
Also, Hard Rock Cafe and Tour thing - I so hope we get Fab again: "I may be a friend of Dorothy, but I'm not a friend of Elton!"
And I hope to God Pavol is still at Cafe Rouge. I dared my friend David to give him his number last year - the man put it in his pocket XD
So. That's my squee for Stratford over. I'm So Excited =D

So, I was having a glance at my profile page to see what I'd written and I noticed my "created on" bit.
I missed my one year livejournal anniversary!
So. This is my one year and nine days anniversary =P
Hi and thank ya to everyone I've befriended in that year and nine days. Livejournal may have taken over my life slightly, but it's worth every moment =D

In Missthingsplace's fic Unforseen Complications, a new character has just popped up
