I used to search the stars at night and I felt so safe and small...

[echoing_dream]

Today I had The Most Fun Ever (by which I mean that I was amused for over an hour). Mostly this consisted of not having sheet music (as if I wouldn’t have a contingency plan, I am the queen of making shit up as I go along!), and then getting to watch everyone’s jaws drop at my jazz-style Summertime with added crazy-high parts. Yeah, I LOL’d. But I’d forgotten how good it feels just to sing sometimes, and the acoustics in our performance room are amazing! It’s like singing in a Cathedral *swoons*.

I am going to buy this dress. Because it is prettyful. And I am thinking I could dress it up or down, so it will be an investment, not just an impulse buy. And then of course I’ll have to buy shoes to go with it…

I glanced through an essay from one of the upper fours while I was waiting to do something else (because I’m nosy like that), and it made me smile. The question was “Sassoon and Owen were in a mental hospital together, do you think these poems are the work of madmen?” and the girl had concluded that she liked Owen’s poem best and that they couldn’t have been crazy because their poems were too good. Which made me smile, because that’s a beautiful way of looking at it.

Keya and I have decided that guys with swords are invariably hotter than guys without swords. We think the swords add about three points onto a guy’s rating. And we like Sean Bean’s voice. And Ed Westwick, but more when he’s being Ed Westwick than when he’s being Chuck Bass. And then we had a fight, because I think Nate Archibald is the epitome of beautiful, and Keya disagrees. Because she is wrong.

I am eventually going to write all of this in a fic. Not the same fic. Different fics. I really wanted to write ‘Fick’ there.

• Nate is Atlas, with the weight of all the heavens on his shoulders, punished for siding with the old Gods (figuratively, not literally Atlas, because Greek and I? Not good fuckbuddies). But Brad is Christopher, setting out to help a child and getting saddled with the weight of the world and more. But he’s strong. This is a good thing.


• Poke. And Poke’s darkness. Poke sees more than the rest of them do, like he can see the destruction they’re all causing even when he’s in the midst of it. I think it weighs on him, I think he knows they’re doing more harm than good. Poke is the Centurion who fell to his knees before the crucified Christ because he finally understood what they had done.


• Then there’s Lilley when he’s editing his film. Which has already been done. And I don’t want to steal, but the boy is interesting. Looking at things through a lens is invariably different because the camera doesn’t put its own spin on things, so that’s going to fuck with him when he gets home. Then there’s the part where he goes back.


• I am going to write about Nate and Brad trying to be together and failing. And about Nate at Harvard with Brad trying to keep things casual because he thinks that’s the best way to do it, but he wants Nate more than anything, and he’s never been one to settle for second best. But Nate is going places, and he’s brilliant with kids, and he needs a wife who’ll be there for him and who isn’t going to war, and can deal with society dinners and dirty nappies. Except, he forgot to tell Nate that Nate wants all this. So Nate hits him. And then Brad hopefully gets a clue. And they continue to be dysfunctional and destructive, but they are dysfunctional and destructive together, so for the most part, it works. Trouble is, I’ve already got my title for it. Which means the chances of it ever getting written converge towards 0.


• I am writing gun porn. Brad and I have issues. We just can’t remember what our issues are, and then we got distracted by Nate and a bubble bath (it’s very distracting!). So… that is not going as planned. Damn my ridiculous need to always have a set up.


• There are 7,000 words of SCUBA AU fic sitting on my harddrive. They’ve been sat there for about three months now. I’m not too sure what to do with them. Oh, and the boys haven’t even kissed yet…


• Pappy and Rudy need to have a fic based on these lyrics.


• I have all the research to create an AU in which Bravo 2 are a Napoleonic-era platoon of 95th Rifles. I am not writing this until I have turned in my paper on the topic. Because I will invariably get distracted and fail the rest of my life.

I am going to try and catch up on FNL before the finale. Mostly because I'm really woried about Tim. *wibbles* ♥

Oooh, I approve of the dress. I do so love a good kicky skirt.

I am very apprehensive about watching FNL tomorrow. I suspect it will break my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and then stomp on whatever is left. Good thing I will have an episode of Leverage to cheer me up afterwards.

I nearly bought one similar to it in London the other day, but then... I didn't. Because I'm stupid. But I'm thinking the full skirt makes it decent but also fun, so, it's an awesome dress.

I haven't caught up on FNL for about two weeks now, so I have no idea what's going on. They better leave Tim in a good place though. I like my shows to make me cry, but this one might actually break me. *wibbles* I might have to wait for other people to watch it so they can tell me if I need ice-cream and cuddles at the ready!

Nate Archibald is gorgeous it has to be said... even if he is a whore. (Started watching GG a couple of weeks ago and I'm about 6-7 episodes on being caught up on Season 3). Also is it weird that I find Chase attractive as Nate, but not ordinary Chase?

That dress = *love*

[echoing-dream.livejournal.com]

He's ridiculously beautiful! And all tortured and angsty. If Blair doesn't want him, I shall have him *dreams*. I'm not caught up yet either, I'm somewhere in Season 2, but I think I'm going to have to go back and watch it all through again.

Hmm, that's not weird in itself, but I'm attracted to Chase pretty much regardless, because I'm a slut like that. And also to Ed Westwick. But less to Chuck Bass. It's a funny old world...

I know, right? I'm gonna buy it with my Birthday money, me thinks. ♥

I just saw the words 'gun porn' and 'bubble bath' somewhere in all that and kinda blanked on everything else.

I seem to have a one-track mind when it comes to you dear Cait. I cannot help this.



Oh wait, I did pause long enough to see this dress you speak of and it is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! Shyeah!

[echoing-dream.livejournal.com]

I am writing, I swear (despite the part where I have a paper due tomorrow), I just keep getting stuck, and I want it to be good so I can't just write my way through it. I will get through it, I promise.

I want that dress soooo bad. And then I'm going to spend even more of my time twirling around. My friends are so patient with me... ♥
