It seems that the dream version (that is, how we are in dreams, nothing to do with ideals) of my boyfriend Tom and me is apparently painfully similar to how we are in reality. I discovered this last night when I dreamt that Tom and I had ended up in a Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes situation, being knocked into comas in 2010 and then waking up in 1985. Anyone who’s seen either of the afore-mentioned series will know the formula of the first season: person wakes up several years in the past near the time something important happened that had a huge influence in their lives and then endeavours to change that event (for Sam it was his father leaving, for Alex it was her parents’ deaths). With this in mind, in my dream, the following exchange occurred:
Me: We need to work out the reason we’re here. Clearly something of massive importance happened in 1985 in one of our lives. But what?…
Tom: … *sideways glance*
Me: What?
Tom: I was born in 1985
Oops :p

I have 3 out of my exam results now, just waiting for environmental ethics. Really pleased with them so far! 72 for Ancient Philosophy, 86 for Formal Logic and 75 for How Science Explains the World. So happy right now because I thought the Ancient Phil exam went really badly.
Holy shit! I am officially terrified of you!
Congrats! :D xx

I should be getting my exam results from last semester today but they are not showing up on the website yet. Nervous!!!
Ours come out either next Friday or the following Monday, I’m bricking it. :p
Good luck, I’m sure you’ve done great :) xx
I’ve just realised there’s only 7 weeks left til Inferno. That’s 7 weeks to:
1) Lose epic weight (me, the gym and Special K all need to make special friends)
2) Learn basic Norwegian (though I’ve never managed it before, it’s not too likely to happen this time :p)
3) Listen to a lot more Black Metal, including bands I’ve not yet listened to that have been confirmed for the festival
4) General holiday stuff like buying travel miniatures and getting currency exchanged.
GAH! There is no time!! >.<
It’s not Brand New Hustle when the episode is almost three years old and with a main cast that’s been largely replaced ¬_¬ (though I do miss Danny Blue and Stacey Monroe…)
Today, during our daily phone conversation, my boyfriend Tom started talking about ideas for topics for my dissertation and directions I might think of taking if I decide not to go into research (or if I can’t).
But Tom’s a scientist, not a philosopher, so he would have had to research all of this on his own, when I asked him why he’d done this, he replied: “because I know it’s been worrying you and upsetting you, and I never want you to have to worry or feel sad about anything, ever.”
I’m so damn lucky :)
