SO MUCH LOVE IN ONE WEEK. SO MUCH.

EDIT: Just saw X-Men again.



And I'm listening to the sub lift music and OH GOD THE AWESOME JUST KEEPS ON GOING OH GOD.
</EDIT>

With the AST exam and the accompanying 3 solid hours of writing about trivariate tensor product spline deformation volume chunk functions etc, skeleton systems and textures etc etc ad infinitum out of the way, it was TIME TO PARTY!

And so we played RobinF's Pokemon RPG for the evening. >3>

And then there were other days involving SHIRE HORSES, PONY RIDING and general awesome involving in no particular order quixoticheartsong, RobinF, RainbowFountains and Skylarkien. This also included X-Men: First Class. HOMG. I DON'T EVEN. HOW DO I. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. I went into the cinema, expecting a bit of fun but nothing special (I mean remember the trailer). AND THEN I SPECTACULARLY ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. The plot was not high-brow; never dreamed of that. BUT IT WAS GOOD. But it had to be said, it was more like OGLE XAVIER, OGLE MAGNETO, OGLE XAVIER AND MAGNETO OH MY GOD WILL THEY JUST BLOODY WELL KISS ALREADY, OGLE MYSTIQUE, OGLE EFFECTS oh yeah Cuban missile crisis, Cold War OGLE UNIFORMS huh, missiles OGLE OGLE OGLE.

If the actors themselves ship Xavier/Magneto, who am I to argue.

And now X-Training is my current overplay, along with Love, Love from the end credits. MY HEART. JEEZ. It is clearly about them. Expect fanart. I went looking for fanfic and thought there might be a comm by now, and then I found 2 comms, 2 kinkmemes, a Delicious archive, and about 4 tumblrs. I AM HAPPY. THANK YOU INTERNET.

And RobinF and I went and saw a production of Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Fan-bloody-tastic, stupendous acting and gorgeous sets. Guildenstern was hilariously charismatic and Rosencranz was camper than a row of tents. The player was a genius. I'm glad I'd already seen the movie (directed by Tom Stoppard himself) and got all the "wtf is going on" out of the way then, so I could enjoy it to its fullest - and it was interesting to compare the portrayals. In the movie, R&G are very balanced: it might help that they have similar builds and heights - and Rosencranz is even a little larger visually despite having the less philosophical dialogue - but the delivery of the lines is much more equal back and forth. In the production we saw, it was quite biased towards Guildenstern being the thinker of high concepts and Rosencranz being more of a practical, less experienced man. It worked, but it was an interesting difference. >3> AND YES, MUCH SLASH. Expect fanart. Possibly in a barrel.

And there was the BACVA (uni) leaving do. SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was dressed up and looked fantabulous, there were helium balloons and much hilarious dancing, and many incriminating photos were taken by all.

And then we had a smaller leaving dinner (to which quixoticheartsong and I brought RobinF entirely unaware, and much trolling was done) at TGI Fridays, which was glorious.

And soon I shall actually have the time to answer the internet. Remember, this is making up for an entire year of not socialising. xD
