I HAVE THE INTERNET.

The Internet-connection cable was being sold in the university bookshop, so obviously every student in Sussex had gone down there to buy it. When she realised that I was buying books as well as the cable, the assistant actually did a little flail. I immediately adored her.

I am in my room at the moment. It doesn't feel like home, but it doesn't feel like Hell, either. I haven't really got my head around the fact that I am actually going to be living here, but I think I might cope.

Last night, I met a girl who knew nothing about fanfiction but quickly became interested in the concept. Barely an hour after I had started explaining it to her, we were discussing the possibility of the Master raising a Jigglypuff while hanging out with Professor Moriarty. I don't think starts get much more auspicious than that.

I love you all so much.

I have not yet tried to introduce my flatmates to fanfic, although I may breach the subject of my huge, retarded and undying love for a certain Mr May soon.

Oh dear... It seems like you have a new and very large collection of potential victims to seduce into your wicked ways now.

Be afraid, world--Riona is raising an army of fandom crackfiends to do her bidding...

Hooray! What are your accommodations like? Shared-room? Private rooms, shared bathrooms? Suite-style, dorm-style? Bunkbeds, single beds?

It comes to feel like home surprisingly quickly, really. My Freshman year, I was in single-room dorm with another student who was practically the opposite of me in every way, but we got along great. We rearranged the furniture to feel comfortable, filled the walls with posters and the desks with knickknacks, and in no time flat it was messy and homely and wonderful. (You did bring posters, right? If not, I'm sure the masses of your Friendslist will send you some. Heck, we'll make you some, that's how cool we are.)

Glad you're settling in, and if there's anything we can do to make it more homely for you? :)

AHAHAHAH.

You know, I think you may well be fine.

Am STILL in Brighton. I was meant to leave yesterday and failed.

Heh. You're going to be just fine. It does get easier.

Heee! I remember my utter and unparalleled delight at finding people whom I could corrupt (though I do remember being very reticent about giving linakitten my LJ name, because I was terrified that she would be disgusted at the idea of Top Gear slash. Bwahah).
Glad things seem to be going okay :D
