My History of the English Language class is the most surreal thing ever.
My teacher: "Before we begin working on the pronounciation of Cs and Gs in Old English, I would like to point out two things.
1. tomorrow this year's Beaujolais Nouveau comes out. Before you buy any, please remember that with every glass you drink, the guards of the House of Bordeaux kill a puppy. Think of the puppies. Don't drink Beaujolais.
2. if I find out that you ever, ever put ice in a Bordeaux, I will personally hunt you down and drag you kicking and screaming into the seven circles of hell."
... yes, we're discussing Bordeaux versus Beaujolais in-between Beowulf and Tolkien. There are times when I love my country.
(Granted, this is the teacher who bemoans the loss of translation accuracy through the ages with 'In the original text of the Bible, God was a fish and Heaven full of cheese. So, so much has been lost in translation. How sad.')
Speaking of cross-Channel relationships — I wrote moar FrUK, lo. Just in case anyone here's interested...
And have a DW-vid red to top it off: Run With Me, River/Doctor, by
chaila43. It's funny, because I don't ship River/Doctor — hell, I don't even like River all that much, and yet this vid made me love her, it's just that bloody gorgeous. Also, Imogen Heap's Speeding Cars is a gorgeous song, and pretty much the story of my life right now.
There, there, baby, it's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC
Of growing up...

Date: 2010-11-20 02:30 pm (UTC)Bit short-ish notice, no? But I'm planning a fic as a present for EVERYONE, so feel free to participate :D
Or we could collaborate on something? I'd love that, but maybe circumstances are still complicated on your end...no subject
Date: 2010-11-20 04:11 am (UTC)*STAMP* Your teacher is glorious.
Haha, I don't ship anyone with the Doctor because the relationships are just perfect the way they are. :) Also. I love Imogen Heap. :'D You're cool.
Regarding a comment above me, I shan't be participating in any future Secret Santas until I get my one from last year done. Dear god. >>;
i like this icon of yours.
Date: 2010-11-20 02:34 pm (UTC)I've read some Doctor/Rose and Doctor/Master, but I don't really ship him with anyone. Or maybe I ship him with everyone. In any case, Eleven/Anyone makes not much sense to me atm. (This year's Secret Santa is a bit compromised — it's too late to start planning, and I've too much to do on my end... anyone who wants to do it is welcome, though. And yes, shame on you.)
why thank you. i need more icons ...
Date: 2010-11-21 02:49 am (UTC)Loving Eleven's dynamics with anyone though! (Hey, you're going to write something for Christmas! Is it Christmassy? The Secret Santa was only for Hydok. /shot
And I don't know if she's finished hers for fyliwion either.)no subject
Date: 2010-11-21 04:49 pm (UTC)Ooooh, yes. Eleven is wonderful in general — I see him as pretty much asexual, that's all. And aromantic, come to think of it. (Not that Christmassy, no, but it's KA! I haven't written any KA since... well. Last Christmas, actually.
So far as I know, she hasn't.)no subject
Date: 2010-11-21 08:56 pm (UTC)Aromantic, in not wanting romantic relationships, but asexual a bit less so, imo. ;) But only a bit.
Abstinence!(Wow, it's been that long? Man, I feel old. And you know something? It's only just now that I'm noticing how allergic you are to non-kissy-kissy fic writing, all the time. D:<When gems gatecrashes parties and brings a friend ...)no subject
Date: 2010-11-22 06:45 pm (UTC)Hmmm. Guess it depends — let's go with celibate, if you will. :D I don't see him as a very sexual person, but that can change. (Aaah, yes, I don't think I've ever written anything that doesn't have any hint at romance... wait, yes I did. But it doesn't count. Anyhow, even that Eleven!AU thingy will have Amy/Rory overtones — it just won't be the main focus, I don't think. I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THIS, DON'T YOU TRY. :D
Strange things happen. Strange things always happen.)no subject
Date: 2010-11-23 02:13 am (UTC)I like celibate. Celibate works. He's very physical though. I agree with you. I like it when people agree. :B (JFC. That is looong. D: I'm so going to take samples out of it and plagiarise, jsyk, since it's harder to plagiarise your romancy stuff~ Romance is always your main focus! XD BE ASHAMED. And when you said Astronomy teacher!Eleven, it prompted my into think what kind of a History teacher he would be. He'd probably asplode everyone's brains. XD;
