chelseagirlSpring break has sprung, and M. had a few days off in a row, which means we got to really hang out and enjoy ourselves for a few days. Really lovely.
Although he did mess up the stereo speakers when he rewired them; the same White Stripes cd I played just before he rewired had vocals, but afterwards, it kinda didn't. I shall announce this when he comes home from work at 2 in the morning, and be met with groans of "you're kidding."
I am a total loser. A friend is doing a cabaret performance tonight, and I wanted to go, but M. is working and I didn't do anything about finding a "date" and I didn't email and ask the singer which mutual friends were going to be there who I could joing and I am a bad, bad friend. Plus one couple I'm close with and would normally join with great joy always seem to go to her shows with A., who snubs me for a reason that neither I nor any of our many mutual friends and acquaintances have the slightest clue about. A total loser am I. And a bad friend. And my curse is that I am home scanning on a Saturday night.
A couple of memes from my speed catch-up of the past four days on my friends' list:
If you call me Catherine, you're pretty much anyone I've ever met.
If you call me Cathy, I haven't seen you in at least twenty years, and you *will* be corrected.
If you call me Professor S(fill in my last name), please get out of my journal now. It's not that I don't like you or don't want to chat with you, but you don't really need to know that my husband can't hook up speaker wire properly or that I have a mad crush on Sean Bean.
If you call me Chelseagirl (the 47 is from my university e-addy, and it's just there cause there was already a chelseagirl here), you're an LJer I haven't met in an outside context.
Oh yeah, talked with my student S., who tells me everyone just thought I was really tired last Monday. Bless her. Bless them.
And, okay, that other meme, I am so boring.
1. Richard Sharpe, as played by the aforementioned Sean Bean, subject of my current fascination
2. John Crichton, from Farscape. Pretty.
3. Mr. Darcy, from Pride and Prejudice. He doesn't have to look like Colin Firth, but I wouldn't complain if he did.
4. Aragorn. Preferably Strider version. He looked oooold when he got all kingly.
5. Boromir, movie version only. 'Cause . . . Sean Bean.
6. Michael, from La Femme Nikita. Worth it for those moments when the facade cracks.
I do have some less obvious choices:
7. Bacon, from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Turk, from Snatch, both played by Jason Statham and one entry 'cause they're practically the same character from different Guy Ritchie movies. He's so much like M. in his younger days that I wouldn't even feel like I was cheating, just time-traveling. (Not that M. is older than Statham, but the characters are like he was before he grew up . . . )
8. Emma Peel. My first girlcrush, way back when. (And even then it was syndicated reruns; I'm not *that* old!)
9. Lord Peter Wimsey. But I'd need to be Harriet Vane.
10. Luke Perry. No, just kidding. (Okay, who on LJ has *not* admitted to an embarrassing dream and I've comforted them with my completely inadvertant Luke P. dream.)
10, really. Dream, from Sandman. Yeah, I know he's terrible at relationships, but it's the only time I've ever had a crush on a drawn character.

Date: 2004-03-14 01:46 am (UTC)And Aragorn did look really old as Elessar. The bf reckons it's because of the half ponytail.
As for Luke Perry, AHAHAHAH!!! I remember fancying him SO MUCH in high school. :p

Date: 2004-03-14 04:44 am (UTC)Re: Celebrity Shag List
Date: 2004-03-14 06:22 am (UTC)This meme has been running around LJ for the past 3-4 days -- if nobody on your friends' list is doing it, check out my fl to see some of the choices!
Re: Celebrity Shag List
Date: 2004-03-15 03:39 am (UTC)So yes, I can see why you say a fictional character is someone you have had time to "get to know" and therefore is a safer bet. I think you have to view the CSL as a "one-night-stand opportunity"!!!! {Other rules state there is no affect on real life relationships and no chance of transfer of disease or pregnancy, by the way. C'mon if you can't make your fantasy world ideal there is no hope!!}
Re: Celebrity Shag List
Date: 2004-03-15 08:27 am (UTC)CSL is actually a different game -- start it off and see it spread. It's always fun to see these things running around LJ. Some things from when I first started my journal, a bit over a year ago, are now coming around in a second round from completely different people!
