We are who we meet. If you think a change might do you good, go out and make new friends. It’s good not just for effecting the change. In fact, it’s good for your whole life.

I missed the meet & greet in Warsaw so I went all the way to the UK to find her. Couldn’t get in for the London concerts but waited for her outside the Apollo on the second night. Unfortunately, she didn’t come out. Then went to Manchester for the concert on July 5th. Spent 5 hours in the rain standing just outside the back door. And then, finally got a chance to talk to her :)

She’s amazing. When she’s talking to you it seems as if you were the whole world for her.

And she spent more than an hour in the rain and cold, waiting to talk to EVERY SINGLE FAN that wanted to talk or simply get a hug!

I can’t help but worship her!

Absolutely pointless once you think about it for a while. It’s much better to experience life directly than read about the experiences of others, especially if they’re fictional characters.

Once you see her play live, you realise you want to follow her everywhere!

The time when the nightmare ends draws nigh :] I’ve just finished the last chapter. Now all I have to do is to look through what I’ve got and come up with some conclusions. And then I can call myself a proud M.A. in English Literature…

I want to find a unicorn. Now, there is no way in hell I can find one as presumably they’re all extinct. So what I want to do is to have Cernunnos take me back in time to find the unicorn and then take me back (if he would). No, I’m not on drugs :]

one square mile… impossible… too expensive

I’m still trying to choose a perfect moment and the right order. Benedictines, I guess.

To be enchanted a forest must include:
- a faery ring
- blueberries and blackberries
- mandrake
- leprechauns
- clearings with unicorns
- elven housing
- oaks and birches
- deep chasms where evil dwells
- magical hazel trees
- a lake
- foresters’ huts
- cranberries (optionally)
- all kinds of herbs, plants and trees you can never remember the names of

+ many more things I can’t think of now.

Is it because you have to “forsake your family life to delve deep into matters arcane”??? ;)

I’m wondering if this thing is not more or less the same as ‘becoming a professor’ – I guess the drawbacks are similar.

When I was younger I came up with this idea that there might be unicorns in a nearby forest. I managed to organise an expedition in search of one, but by the time we got to that I had ceased to believe :( No wonder it didn’t turn up. I strongly believe that without faith you can never find one. But then again, maybe there was something wrong with my virgin bait ;)

I suppose it’s difficult to say where the society would be. I doesn’t have to be anywhere, in fact. I mean, do you really need a secret office for a secret society ;) And who’s in depends on the founder.

Personally, I’ve been thinking of starting a secret chivalric order (yeah, nothing’s better than telling the world about your SECRET society ;) Still, my problem is: you need knights, and I have damsels only… Still working on that…

I’m going to try to learn it next holidays. The Gawain-poet dialect, not Chaucer, which makes it way more difficult… But hey, nobody forced me to try to become a PhD, right? ;)

Wish I knew what to begin with – simply reading stuff is good, but is it the best you can do?

Well, it takes several introductory books to get going – without them you stand no chance. My thanks go to Royle & Culler :)
