Five facts...

[Mac]

1: My sofa regularly takes itself into town and picks drunk people up after a night out and takes them safely to their door, as it has a strong social conscience.

2: Every now and then, I find a small collection of dust bunnies constructed in such a way that it creates a form similar to that of Sting's favourite Bass "Poke".

3: Ever since the solar eclipse of 1999, I've been able to read peoples faces, detecting things such as noses, eyes and, on occasion, facial hair.

4: Having won several beauty pageants since the age of four, my attempts to foster world peace and work with children has only half worked.

5: Labour came back into power in 1997. I know this, because I borrowed my mate Steve's time machine and ended up in Diss, Norfolk where a big party happened to be occurring and Lisa Rowley went skinny dipping (more like Chunky Dunking) in the mere.

Five sensible facts:

 

1: I live on the edge of the Peak District in England, so have easy access to hills and moorland.

2: I volunteer two nights a week as a Scout Leader and an Assistant Explorer Scout Leader in which I train, supervise and assess the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

3: I'm divorced and still have no idea where I went wrong six years down the line.

4: I grew up in a tiny village that I'd love to move back to but can't afford the house prices (but I'm there 6 out of 7 days a week, as it's where I teach and volunteer).

5: My cat holds regular parties for the neighbourhoods Pet Union, where they begin with a meeting covering different aspects of their work within the community, which they end by getting terribly drunk and marauding the neighbouring cul-de-sac. The naughty things.

 

Okay. I couldn't resist putting something ridiculous in. Sorry.

Your third fact there hey_books made me give a little "Awwww!" Clearly your Hogwart's admissions letter must have got lost on it's way to you ~ maybe they borrowed Pigwidgeon from the Weasley's and he got over excited.

You won't know for certain unless you apply what have you got to lose?

 

If you apply and get in, marvellous; if you don't get in, at least you gave it your best shot. Besides, consider that for a first UK degree it is expected that you should apply to more than one University, and should you not get into any of those, there is something called Clearing which will basically tell you 'You didn't get into courses X an Y but there's places on courses W and Z which will take you with the grades you have.' This to give everyone the best shot at an education to suit their needs.

 

I don't know what your proposed course of study is but, two degrees later with hopefully a third ahead of me, I for one am glad I didn't settle for the way literature is taught in Italy (brainless parrot-style)...!

[Echo]

1. I still love 90s music, the music of my teenage years, especially grunge (obviously). I'm listening to Pearl Jam right now.

2. I tend to be obsessive about things I like.

3. The things I love the most are the things that make me the most sad.

4. I'm very introverted and spend a lot of my time daydreaming. This can make me seem standoffish.

5. I love the way my boyfriend smells.

[Chrissy]

1) I love our new forum!

2) I love proper old castles.

3) I love Port Meirion, and want to return there sooner rather than later!

4) I love Welshcakes (currant and sultana flat griddled cakes), served hot and buttered.

5) I make an excellent Bara Brith (translated into English as 'speckled bread') Welsh fruit tea bread.

[Nollaig]

1. I don't have a jewelry box, so I hang all my chains on one knob of my wardrobe, and tie all my braclets together with some string and hang that on the other knob. I like the way it sorts of decorates my room a bit.

2. I hate spicy food. I don't understand how anyone finds having their mouth burned pleasureable.

3. I'm a recent convert to the Doctor Who fandom. Only started watching this year, and so far have covered the 8th, 10th and 11th Doctors, with the 9th to follow shortly. I have bought a TARDIS and a Journal Of Impossible Things, with much more merch to come.

4. I like to drink coke watered down with ice cubes because the watered down taste reminds me of drinking glasses of it as a child in restaurants, and feeling like I was being pampered, eating out in some fancy place.

5. I like to keep random mementos from trips and holidays - train and bus tickets, ticket stubs, notepaper and pens, advert cards, maps, information leaflets etc.

2) my ex boyfriend is my world. we have a very complicated relationship, very off and on and i can see us getting married one day.

3) my bedroom is BRIGHT pink, and if i can buy something in pink i will buy it, never mind if it comes in another colour i have to have it in pink.

4)i am currently debating with myself weather to buy the twilight books

5) i am dyslexic and have a really big problem with spelling and also with my left and right.

- I don't like to argue and I'll probably be the one that gives up and lets others have it their way

I doubt you are as terrible at conversing as you think you are. I talked with you in chat yesterday, and you were just fine.

What are you a devotee of?

I hate talking on the phone too, I much prefer chatting by type. Even though I have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years I've only spoken to my boyfriend on the phone half a dozen times because I hate talking on the phone.
