And now for fun...

Bloody essays. Bloody bastard essays.

It's sixteen months or so since I last had to sit down an write an essay and now I've actually got to do it.

And I havn't had the chance to write anything (non work related) for over a week. That's probably the longest I've been in YEARS without writing anything, either my own stuff or fanfiction of one discription or another. And I STILL havn't managed to do Anna's beta-ing.

And my essay sucks. Hang on, I've already mentioned that. Pah.

So, to do today...

1) Wash last night's red hair spray out of hair.
2) Tidy room
3) Sort out lecture list
4) Do washing. Oh shit, and last nights washing up...
5) Go to library. Find secondary material on 'the Dramatic Monologue as a poetry form'.
5) Write essay. I WILL write the essay.

Why doesn't this course have a unit on 'the literary value of footy-slash'? On second thoughts, don't answer that.

Oh. And any of you that feel like being friendly can go say hi to my friend opertunemoment who's new around here. Not a footy fan in any way shape or form, but prepared to drool over Becks, Pires and assorted others, and read anything I force her to.

Also with Brit footyslash I think one of the attractions is how to portray a relationship within that culture and still have it be (vaguely) realistic.

I agree. With some players from more affectionate cultures (ie. Spanish, Italian and French) it's not such an issue, but with the stereotypical blokey English culture it's a real challenge. The men that tend to be slashed, like Beckham and Owen, while not "girly" exactly, are quiet pretty and seem to be more in touch with their feminine sides. I could just not picture Keane slashed, for example. And I could be wrong, but also the French, Spanish and Italian cultures seem more open to homosexuality than the male English cultures.

I'm going to add you to my friends list. You keep on saying stuff!

Keane does get slashed. Just in rather dark and scary ways. Not by me though - comeing from a club first-slash second background, I just can't bring myself to write about naked United players.

I'd better warn you that the stuff I say isn't always this erudite ;)
