klenaI was just highly amused thinking of my English class today. For the first 30 minutes we sat discussing Henry James' sexuality and general homosexuality related topics which was fun.
We went into the computer room next and the other people in there must have been really amused. Laura sat, staring at her computer screen singing "Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. Everything comes back to sex" while waving her arms.
Then someone walked behind June and I as she pointed to 'onanism':
"What does that mean?"
"Masturbation." I replied, still typing. Just out of the corner of my eye I saw the person freeze and give us a LOOK. ^_^ Much amusement.
Hahahahaha. Yes Donielle, Neal is great. He's Shimna's Austin Powers - literally. Whenever we listen to the soundtrack and the theme comes on, he dances. Not a funnier sight on earth. ^_^ I love Neal.
I completely forgot about our uniforms. We're all so used to them now that we barely remember the States and most of Europe don't have uniforms. ^_^ They are damn sexy though, ne?
Last week something kept happening to me. I had all these Moments...that's what I call them...
Whenever I just can help smiling and everything seems shiny and new and great. Usually the day's gone well, I'm listening to music and the sunshine on Donard mountain hits it a certain way, that twists my heart.
Last week I had so many of them. I liked that.
I watched the 100th episode of "Angel" last night. I cried at the end. Poor Cordelia.
Right. Echoes of Thunder dreams and the name meme
Last week I had many "Echoes of Thunder" dreams. Not just to do with the story but life afterwards...Ahh, this is really hard to explain....
OK. Last Thursday I dreamed I was on the bus somewhere and I got off just outside a place that looked like City Hall in Belfast. I resettled my top hat against my hair, adjusted my napsack and began walking towards a meeting hall.
These two girls caught sight of me and ran over, beaming shyly and standing there for a few minutes before speaking. I guess I was older in these dream, 19 or so, and these girls were my age.
The older one introduced herself as Indigo (because of her hair) and the smaller was Leah. I laughed softly because I got this flash of Zalan's character Indigo and my bithy girl.
Both of them started chatting to me, general questions and then Leah said
"You're really Kathryn, aren't you?"
Me: "Yeah. You know me then?"
L: "So, the university weren't lying when they said you were here to lecture?"
Me: "No. I'm really here."
Indigo piped up by squealing excitedly
In: "Oh wow, oh wow. I can't wait to hear you speak!"
Me: "Thanks...um, do you know where Fitzgerald Hall is? I'm sorta lost." I grinned stupidly and resettled the top hat.
L: "Cool! Em, not cool being lost but I mean...we'll take you!"
So we set off, Indigo and Leah asking me all these questions about this book and I answered automatically without really revealing anything. My hand sat on my napsack where the book was.
We were at Fitzgerald Hall and I walked up to the front of the auditorium, which was packed full of this really diverse range of students. I beamed because June, Kelly, Zalan, Lillybet and Laura all sat in the front row.
I moved over to the podium, removed my hat, long coat and my napsack, waiting for quiet. Which fell instantly. I began talking while part of my brain went "What are we doing here? What am I lecturing about?" until I reached into my bag and pulled out "The Final Waltz Trilogy"
I sat on the desk indian-style and began talking about "Echoes of Thunder", "Shadows of Fire" and "Mirrors of Water" and the concepts and the motifs and the characters etc. Which was great fun.
This lecture lasted for hours and then out-of-the-blue, I did a Q-and-A section. But instead of just responding with short answers I started debating with the students and asking them what they believed about the book.
That lasted for over two nights then on Saturday I was walking away from City Hall with Zal and all when we all saw these E.o.T cosplayers. Which made me laugh.
We got home (all of us seemed to live in the same house) and before I even sat down in my room the phone rang. I picked up with
"Rat Burgers, you kill 'em, we grill 'em, what's up Donielle?"
There was a laugh.
"How did you know?"
"'Cause I haven't had or made a weekly phone call yet."
We chatted for a while, just general stuff when Donielle (whose voice was based upon a sound file of her singing I heard years ago on ZQL) said
"How did it go today?"
"Fine. It's always fun watching their faces when they find out I know you and Joey."
We started debated about the crowds and then, just before I woke up I heard
"Oh wait, Joey wants to talk to you. And post soon bith!"
Wonder what it all means? Hahaha. Joey's gonna become a famous author I know it. Hahaha and I'm gonna be a geeqy Tolkien/Liau scholar. Now the name meme
