A Futurist Bed Just Masking An Ascertainable Gnu. Growl.

My lack of posting for the past few days can be blamed on panic over an essay and a test, both for today and both now finished. GLORIOUS FREEDOM. I'm not terribly happy with the essay, but the test (although I did run out of time on the last question) went better than I was expecting, and I genuinely believe that this can be attributed entirely to my receiving the following e-mail from th_esaurus this morning:

HAY RIONA HAY HAY HAY
YOU HAVE GOT AN EXAM TODAY!
IT'S OKAY, IT'S ALL FINE
JUST REMEMBER TO GO ON TIME!
WEAR A SMILE, NOT A FROWN
GET THOSE ANSWERS WRITTEN DOWN!
MODERN ENGLISH IS A BLAST
TXT SPEAK, LOLCATS, IDIOMS PAST


IF YOU GET STUCK (UNLIKELY ANYWAY)
JUST WRITE ABOUT THE HOMOGAY!

I love my friends so much.

You know 'Talk Like a Pirate Day' and 'Talk Like a Hypello Day' and 'Talk in Al Bhed Day', which I've never heard of but which probably exists? Why isn't there a 'Talk in Rhyming Couplets' day? Actually, scratch that: why don't we just talk in rhyming couplets all the time?

(For those curious, the title of this entry is an anagram of 'Because Talking In Anagrams Would Just Be Frustrating'. SEE HOW PRODUCTIVELY I SPEND MY TIME WHEN I HAVE FINISHED MY WORK.)

Hurrah!

If rhyming couplets were good enough for Chaucer, they're good enough for crazy slashfic!

Also, I'm sure you're happy to know that I'm writing PWP Jeremy/Richard.

[rionaleonhart]

That is good news, provided you're not writing it for the fiandyfic challenge. (I'm half-tempted to sign up for that and then write a completely innocent story, incorporating all of the euphemisms literally. Actual meat curtains! Why not?)

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I am not! I just asked Fiandy if the whole having to incorporate euphemisms means man/car or Time Lord/TARDIS is right out.

The Richard/Jeremy is because of this here (http://community.livejournal.com/topgearslash/856599.html?thread=18574359#t18574359).

I remember that thread! You writing your idea?

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I am! I hope you're happy!

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Very happy, thank you.

Actual meat curtains would be horrifying! An actual custard factory might be fun, though.

It's slightly sad that I have an unwritten fic where the euphemism "velvet TARDIS" would actually fit, isn't it?
