I'm going to Nottingham tomorrow, so I can get my results at 9.30 am on Friday, and I'll probably be staying till Saturday, when dad can come with the car and we can get some more of my stuff. I'm really really wound up about it for some reason. Possibly because I have to get up and go to work and then get a train since I'll be in Leeds and maybe wait and then travel and change trains probably and then get a bus and then get to the house and then unpack some stuff and THERE WILL BE NO FOOD THERE. NONE. I will either have to shop and cook or get takeout and probably shop anyway because there'll be nothing for breakfast, and I'll probably have to have a shower at some point over the weekend and this is freaking me out for no good reason. And clothes! What clothes should I take? How many? What if something happens and I need more than one change? What if it's cold? What if it's hot? Books? How many books? Also, I'm on my period - ! And I wish I didn't have to decide all of this in an hour so I can get to bed in good time to get up and WOE.

That made me feel better. Slightly. My eyes hurt.

Also I love might love Ana Lucia from Lost. I don't really understand it. I know most people hate her, and for most of each episode she acts in a way that makes me want to slap her, if not throw her into the sea. But then we get a bit of her backstory, and it's just great. She is great, and beautiful. I guessed she was pregnant. I pretend in my head that she hadn't entirely decided if she wanted it or not before the shootings. I love that she protects the children. I love that she always tells the people 'no' when they ask her if she has kids, because she's probably thinking she didn't, really, and it doesn't matter anyway now. It's the same as when people ask Sawyer if he's a nice man and he says 'no'. I love that she probably believes it more and more, even though it hurts, every time she says it. I love that she knew Sayid would come after her because she killed someone he loved, because she went after the man who killed someone she loved. And probably she will make me hate her again next episode, and over the course of the season, but for now oh, I love her, I love her, I love her.

And also: Jack WISHES he knew the 'whisper in your ear' method! He wishes he thought of it before Kate! He wishes she'd let him finish with the nervy-doctor-doing-the-best-he-can thing before the clearly necessary and SO PAINFUL task of holding Sawyer's head and whispering in his ear. Omg.

And in Sunday's Emmerdale, which I just watched thanks to Sky+ recording, Tom King (daddy) told Jimmy (eldest) he should speak and take over at the big King's Housing Launch, leaving Carl looking dejected on a chair. If I was more cynical I would point out that he doesn't really have anything to do with the housing - he runs the bins - but I ignore that because it is clearly a great opportunity for Matthew to swoop back into his good graces, and lure him away from the 'respectable' part of the family, hurrah. Also, Carl apologised and was lovely when the launch went wrong and Jimmy started acting the prat. He is great.

I go pack now perhaps.

ETA: (Also) also: jekesta, have you been to connotations lately? Should we check our booking?

'We cheer'? 'Her rear'? 'How queer'?

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

Hooray!!

Sayid is good also! And Shannon (::mourns::). And Claire. And that crazy Frenchwoman. Bear in mind I haven't seen all of the first season yet.

Why can they not secede and form their own camp? Why?

I will ring the hotel tomorrow if I remember, I do keep meaning to yes:)

I LOVE ANA LUCIA. I forget most of the time that fandom hates her, she is BEAUTIFULNESS and also a proper character who gets to be a bit shit about things and quite angry and stuff. I like her lotsly.

Hurray for not going to nottingham which I know you're not because I have seen your future yay1:):)

Remember and check, for please. I don't want to sleep on the beach. Or I can. Or whatever.

ALL THE LOVE FOR ANA!! She is ace and rubbish and angry and tearful, and SHOT WHILE PREGNANT!!! Way better than Kate. Ooh, she should arrest Kate! And you and I and Cee should form a crack team and sing about her greatness. Yes.

You really can see into the present!

I rang the hotel just now because they sent me a refund for my deposit, but they have assured me that it's actually just a refund for the deposit that they put through twice yes. I will check on my mastercard bill, but they say we have a room and do not have to sleep on the beach. YAY.

Also, your cheque for my share will totally be sent, at...some point. Dude.

I more sort of really very much don't like Ana Lucia but I'm going to try to stop judging her too much because she's patently a bit crazy due to a horrible thing happening, so...you know. But I still don't think it's nice to kick people in their festering wounds in case they turn out to be nasty, or to dismantle their stretchers so you can tie up people whose girlfriends you've just shot dead. I am currently failing to cut her some slack. I actually think my major problem with her is her actor. I was thinking this over last night. If she was played by Frances de la Tour, to pick a random name, or...Hattie Jacques! Or someone with a number of facial expressions. Then I'd probably quite like her.

Oh, the things she does annoy me. At first I wanted Sawyer to kill her with his eyes. No-one is saying she is not gung ho like crazy - as Goodwin said, she's not a good person. But she clearly has trauma like woah with it. And she tried to protect the children, and couldn't, just like she couldn't protect her own baby. And she trusted the burglar, and trusted Goodwin, and look where that got her, and now she's on the island of death, and they don't have a golf course, and I think a little craziness is par for the course. Especially for a cop, used to taking care of things, and being in control.

Also, I just have a thing for crazy, out-of-control, angry, tearful people. And pregnant women that shoot people. And women who aren't that maternal and then think 'maybe...' but then never get the chance to find out. Because, dude, tragic.

I don't know about the actress. I guessed about the pregnancy thing before the big reveal just from the look on her face when people asked her about kids, and I thought that was well done. She does seem to go a bit blank-faced when angry though. I don't know. I shall observe for a few more episodes before coming to my DAMNING CONCLUSION, I think.
