when time and confusion collide

the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

AHH now we're movin on to York proper. THIS is why I fell in love with the city almost immediately.

Isn't it just absolutely GORGEOUS? My university's quite far from the city centre though - gotta take a bus down. Ahhh but everything's so antiquarian here in York. The streets have names like "Cherry Hill Lane" and the houses are called "Keeper's Cottage" and stuff like that, lending the city an almost timeless quality to it. Feels like I've somewhat just stepped into a fairy tale :)

Heh ok I'll post photos of my housemates once Sam's send them to me. Gotta go read Beowulf before Monday's seminar!
