unikorentoDo you know what I did today? I will tell you!
I was at a seminar on children's literature! And do you know who spoke at the seminar on children's literature where I was? Maria Nikolajeva, that's who! And I got to shake her hand and she said I had an interesting idea (and she didn't say that in that you're-a-crazy-person-now-please-go-away placating way) when I went on about shared context and images and descriptions as they're represented in multimedial children's lit and mainstream lit and fanfiction. I said 'fanfiction' at Maria Nikolajeva.
*deep breath*
I'm now going to spend the rest of the day mulling this over, and trying to convince myself that I probably didn't make an ass of myself quite as badly as I thought I did. Probably. There's a chance nobody noticed there was a crazy person at the seminar. A good chance. Maybe.
Oh god. Why did I ever think it was a good idea to open my mouth in the first place? Those were some extremely intelligent people. And driven. And... woah. They said they wanted me to attend a seminar in Helsinki in the beginning of May. *insert panicky emoticon here* I'm going to let my children's lit mentor down so badly when I fail at this, it's not even funny.
Uhm, yes. Focusing on the right here and now.
It's been an awesome day so far.

You're not going to fail. And may is a long time a way still, well sorta, don't start panicking yet.
