I've Got You Under My Skin

[raven]

I am probably teh skank. I'm eating a Pot Noodle, which I would not ever have done were it not for hathy_col. And Clare too, but she's less evangelical on the subject. I'm also failing, without enthusiasm. Chemistry remains a wilderness, and I cannot for the love of god do it, and it's making me more than a little unhappy. I'm not being dramatic, for once; I'm now being quietly reassured by all concerned that it's okay, it's okay, I can resit it in the summer. I don't want to resit. I hate resits. I just want to be able to actually do it, and it's all falling down and I have less than a week, now. I do not like failing. Just for the record.

I have the afternoon off today, it being Wednesday, but it took me a long time to actually come home because I don't want to revise and remind myself of how bad I am. But I got here in the end, poured boiling water into the Pot Noodle (which is actually kind of gross - I'll try a different flavour next time) and discovered Angel was on. Well, another ten minutes of it. So I watched it; probably not a good idea considering it was season three and I had no idea whatsoever what was going on. I saw a large tree-type thing, two characters who I am assuming were Fred and Gunn, then Angel sending Cordelia off with a guy called... Groosalugg? Is that really his name or did I hallucinate that? And then Angel with a baby, and Wesley staring at a bit of paper on which he's written: "THE FATHER WILL KILL THE SON."

I am confused.

Talking of Angel, it really is the slashiest show ever, barring M*A*S*H. I have stopped watching the DVDs for now, because both hathy_col and quackaquacka warned me about the next episode (back to season one, now) as one not to watch alone in the dark. I have merely watched the teaser, and argh, the slash. Cordelia and Wesley bicker. Angel attempts to stop them, and calls Wesley "Doyle." He then proceeds to look distraught. Wesley, meanwhile, merely looks very hurt. I am unsure as to whether this means I should slash Wesley and Angel or Angel and Doyle.

Maybe both.

In other news, I have signed up to do an essay for ship_manifesto. I'm not saying what pairing, because you will all throw tomatoes at me. Clearly, I am insane; hopefully the deadline isn't for a while yet.

And that is that. I must revise. Very important. 'Cause I don't want to fail!

angel, do you want to add me, and remove my 'dead' journal?

I am confused.

I'm not, or not about that, but if I un-confuse you you'll be spoilt, so I'm afraid you have to stay confused for now. Sorry.

And you know I'm going to bug you about the pairing for ship_manifesto until I find out what it is, right? It can't be Jack/Thor, because notalgia_lj is working on that; Severus/Bill? [/teasing]

Actually, you know, it's not that easy to hide things from an reasonably intelligent and lj-competent person. I now know what pairing you're doing, and-- well, it's not my favourite, as you know, but you make it damn believable, so I'm sure you'll write a good essay.

Hum. Maybe I should throw a tomato anyway?

Heh. Can't keep anything secret from you. :)

Clare and Colleen stopped by not long after I'd got off the phone with you, and Clare requests you bring your hat to Collectormania "because it's tall." No, I don't get it either. You have been officially dubbed Recurring Guest Star, just so you know.

[amchau.livejournal.com]

I will bring the hat, because it is indeed tall.

I'm very glad to be a Recurring Guest Star. (Woo! I'm a star!)

Yes, Groosalugg is his name. Remember when you made me tell you about all the characters and I told you about Pylea?

He's from there. Season 2. So I'm not surprised you were confused.

And, both. Slash both. And did k'know that some people slash Wesley and Doyle together too? I think I might have already told you that.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

I remember. Am less confused. Want season two, dammit! *stomp*

You told me about Wesley/Doyle, but am still wha-huh? about that one. Logistics, people!

I love ship_manifesto, especially when people I know are writing the essays. :)

And oh! Pot Noodle! I have actually never eaten one, but have you seen the game (http://www.gluelondon.com/creativeshowcase/hysterical_girlfriend/main.html)? Kib discovered it, and now one of our many, many in-jokes concerns screaming "If I come in there and find you doing Pot-fucking-Noodle, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY, MAGGOT!" at each other from different floors of the house.

It must be fun to live with us.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. Fabulous. This from a company whose TV advertising slogan is "Hurt me, you slag." Colour me unsurprised.

I would have absolutely no objection to living with you. :)

*hugs* in regards to the class. I kind of know how you feel, I think. I've been there, anyway, with Calculus. It's not fun. :(

As for Angel/Wes or Angel/Doyle... both. Definitely both. Yup.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Definitely not fun. *shakes head solemnly*

Both it is. Heh. That is still on the agenda, although fics are eating brain.

Angel is slashy- but nothing beats big wolf on campus :) or as Miranda has proved Canadian idol

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Nothing beats, or ever will beat, M*A*S*H. Slashiest show ever made.

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Indeed. (http://mashslash.populli.net/slashyquotes/index.htm)

In the name of all that is good and holy DO NOT WATCH SEASON 3. DO NOT. LEAVE IT ALONE AND WALK AWAY. The surprises in that season are SO GOOD that really don't spoil yourself.
