What happens in times of stress

Iona? You okay? No emails, no lj entries...no comments! Where are you?

Thanks for asking.
If anyone says the words "pop concert" again I will do more than scream. I already did that today.
The last rehearsal was in the morning. Laura Baker began the bitching then. She accused me of bitching about her behind her back (huh?) giving her "snotty looks" yesterday (I was half-delirious yesterday!) and generally undermining her when her nan died.
So, let me get this straight. I take your job as the compere because you can't do it, I write the script, come to the rehearsals, practise with Enid, and I'm undermining you? For fuck's sake! I am the compere! That's what I do!
At least, I was the compere. Enid is stressed, and no longer wants her job. I'm inclined to agree. She arrived with half of her class to scream at me. At first I screamed back. Until I was vaguely hysterical and ready to kill. Then I stormed out the classroom to find a quiet place to die, or at least get away from them. Becca noticed. She cam storming out of the classroom behind me, saw the people trying to follow me shrieking "It's our pop concert and you're ruining it for everybody!" and she took a deep breath....
"PISS OFF!"
And she hugged me right there in the midst of the chaos, and went with me out towards the quad. But some of the scally brigade followed - I've forgotten that girl's name... Jenny Cheshire? With the horrible accent? Anyway, her and all her little friends tried to follow, and maybe I'd picked up something off Becca, but I screamed at them to piss off, but they didn't. It was only the combined efforts of Becca, Emma (sprog) and Ella that made them go away.
So. Laura Baker has the compere's job. Enid and I have both withdrawn.
I don't know what to do.
(sprog's advice was the best - "Tell them to all get dildoes and stop taking out their sexual tension on you!")

Fire and Water and Singularity

I'd be very surprised if Baker really has lost her voice. It would be just too convenient...
Anyway. I have downloaded the Stargate eps Fire and Water and Singularity, and am now going to watch them
( Slashy swamprats )

Found out today that Anne Rice is dead against fan fiction written about Louis and Lestat (thanks to slashchick for that little nugget of information).
I find this strange, as I was reading Interview with the Vampire today (it belongs to emerald_embers, and I don't know if she knows I have it!) and I remember thinking there must be slashy potential in a book full of such sensuous description and the immense sensory perception of the vampires when they look at the world and each other. Drowning in subtext, all of it.
Thank you for listening. Good night.

Tell me why, when I go home...

Brief question.
Why is my downloaded version of Fire and Water subtitled in German?
