I'm meant to be having a lecture at 4. Except that last week our tutor said that we 'would not be having a lecture in that room', and I thought she talked about emailing us with the room change, but I haven't heard anything yet. So I'm starting to think she meant a lecture at all. But I can't be sure.

I could go home. Or read. But I choose to waste some hours on the internet (conveniently close to my inbox) instead. Hence, a few memes:

New Snaps Cup Meme! Which you should all totally do yourselves as well.

And, snagged from a few people but probably mostly nerdcakes: Name a character or pairing! Watch me I ramble on about it!

You can pick characters and pairings I don't know if you, but my ramblings might be slightly random and inexplicable.

Am in much better mood today :). This is either due to sleep or lack of sleep, or possibly pizza. But much more likely Green Wing! Teh yay! I <3 you Guy! His hair was all messy and foxy, and he skateboarded on his stomach! And talked about his pelvis! And his parts did not have that Comic-Relief forcedness, and yayayay.

Also, I will point out that Guy flashed his arse, and within minutes Mac was chasing him down a hallway. Draw your own conclusions.

I watched Nathan Barley also last night. And I liked it. And I don't care. I want the crazy model's song on CD. Is it wrong to want Dan/Nathan slash? ::worries::

Was going to buy Glamour magazine today, but then got SFX instead. If ever I need geekboy credentials, I feel these are them. But there was talk of Sea of Souls. And Angel/Spike slash. And Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Eeee.

Stupid computer room is closing within minutes of me getting here so must go. Goodbye!

I was completely struck down in the middle of (fairly dull) Medieval Studies lecture by this idea, which may turn into a plotbunny, and even perhaps a drabble for this weeks Contrelamontre challenge if I'm feeling adventurous, so I thought I'd share it: the 'Greek tragedy' of Sappho. I'm become fairly interested in her lately, since discovering some fascinating facts, and being the only one in my Literary Culture seminar who knew who she was (triumphant blush). She's an ancient Greek poet, perhaps the only (famous) female Greek poet, who Homer apparently considered 'the Tenth Muse'. She was also a lesbian - her all-female community on the isle of Lesbos is actually where the word comes from - and was meant to have died throwing herself off a cliff when her lover left her for a man. And was apparently turned into a bird, which is pretty, but neither here nor there.

So I'm thinking, in slashy terms of course. The way Green Wing is going I actually wouldn't be SUPRISED if Guy turned out to be gay, or even if he and Mac rode off into the big gay sunset together. I mean, I like Caroline, but not the over-shippines of the show, and Mac still seems to be being fairly cruel to her to me, and is perhaps just doing it to spite Guy, who completely ignored him at the party of much-kissing in favour of drunken women dancing really strangely.

Anyway...

Guy. Loves Elton John and Queen. Went to public school. Would tell Martin he'd passed his exams when he hadn't, but WOULDN'T go through with his plan to cut off all Mac`s hair (to Scissors Bentley`s suprise). Gay? My non-slasher housemate (who knows about my slash obssession, and seems to consider me an expert on all things homosexual now) seems to think so - she leaned over during the 'Queen' scene last Friday and asked if they were turning him into a repressed gay character. And if so, I'd say his interest lies mainly with Mac, who's moving further and further towards Caroline with every breath. And they're saying that the season's ending with be a LITERAL cliffhanger...

Am I crazy? Perhaps. But then the show's crazy, so suddenly this doesn't seem so implausible, though perhaps a little dark.

That said, while I think it would make a cool, angsty fic (with Mac coming to the rescue at the last minute, of course), I do hope that if it is indeed Guy that ends of playing centre role in the 'Greek tragedy' that the writers don't push him too close to the edge. Because I can't see him coming back from that completely the same. And I like him how he is. I'm half-tempted to spoil myself and try to find out what happens, but no. I'll be strong. And analyse each and every thing he does and word he says in tomorrow`s episode, looking for signs of despair, and if I find them run screaming to the nearest spoiler dispenser.

And this 'short, off-the-cuff' post has suddenly become the longest of the day. Sigh.

Well, it's been about 3 months since I got this Livejournal, so it's probably about time I posted. I should be getting the Internet in my house soon, so I'll be able to connect straight from my laptop for the first time since I got LJ, which ought to make things easier. For now, I frankly just want somewhere to gush about my intense new love for Green Wing.
I didn't even like the show at first - not impressed by the first episode - but I saw it again a couple of weeks ago, and have been hooked ever since. It is. So. Slashy. Every episode I am bowled over by the slashiness. Boyce/statham. Mac/Martin. Sue/Caroline. Angela/Caroline. And my new OTP, Mac/Guy. I did not even like Mac or Guy at first (much like the show), but even then knew they were practically canon. And as of last night's episode, Guy is my new favourite character, coming in just slightly ahead of Martin, who I also adore (can't believe he collapsed crying. Aw!). And yes, loving them both gives me plenty of grief. Guy was very cruel to him last night. But then his face in the car when Caroline left! His innocent love of the gay, gay singers! And he speaks French under pressure! How foxy?! And he didn't want them to cut Mac`s hair, in the end. Because he LOVES him. Mac so clearly just being 'nice' to get Caroline, and just going after Caroline because Guy went after her (as opposed to Mac) at the party of much kissage. Soon, he will go back to being his original, bitchy self, rescue crazy, petty Guy from miserable aloneness and ride off into the big gay sunset with him. Yes. Very much so.
Anywho, must go. Have review to record for University radio. Toodles.
