Best call of the day: Telling A he tasted "Australian"... beer and bbq. Grazing-type function at their place this afternoon, as the Honours people have all finished now, and can start acting like normal people. Well, once the hangovers from today go away. It was a typical rambling affair, lasting from early afternoon to late night, I presume. We bailed at 8. We are piking pikers who pike. Apparently.

Other matters of note: Apparently swimmers have large penises. (Should that be penisii?) A strawberry condom used with passionfruit lubricant produces "fruit-salad sex". I am completely capable of keeping up with the guys. Y wants me in a threesom, but his girlfriend wants J². The only acceptable conclusion, we suppose, is a foursome, but that might be pushing the bounds of polite behaviour.

Funnily enough, that weird mood is not still around. This is a normal day.

I am in a weird mood tonight.

I was going to write an email to Mallory and Drioux. It was going to go like this:

Hello, Mallory and Drioux. I was just sitting here trying to formulate my thoughts and I realised I do that so much better when I'm writing. Take away my keyboard and my brain shuts down. So I thought that I should write to you two, for many reasons, but chiefly because I feel such a bond with the pair of you. Vague, oh yeah.
This is a very clever scheme because it fulfills multiple purposes. It allows me to get back in touch with Drioux, with whom my correspondance has been sadly...well, absent for the last little while. It allows me to tell him that I am so glad to see him back at the keyboard giving me something to read. It allows me to give him a big virtual hug just for being there.
It also allows me to reply to Mallory, whose email has been sadly sitting in my inbox for at least a week while I went off on a flight of fancy. That is what exam procrastination does to me, I'm afraid. It lets me tell her that I'm delighted to see her back at the helm as well, and I'm simply clapping my hands with glee at her improved situation. Oh, and the redesign is so disgustingly gorgeous I don't know how I'm going to cope with my envy. Redesign myself, I expect. After the exams, though. I don't need any more distractions now. I have enough. It also allows me to say: Yes, we do swear alike. You're the only person I've ever encountered who actually says: "Jesus fuck." I always get so many odd looks when I say that.
And lastly, it allows me to complete the original purpose, which was to order my thoughts by a rambling dissertation. Feel free to not read this part, should you have better things to do (eat, sleep, clean the fish tank...).

At this point, all of a sudden what I wanted to say was either gone, or just didn't look so important any more. I was left swinging idly on my chair, Insurge declaiming the ills of the international system in the background, and the light fading fast. I played Puzzle Bobble for three quarters of an hour while singing along to the Pixies and thinking about German grammar.

I'm in a weird mood tonight.

One of the conclusions of tonight's corridor conversations: Frustrated by the fact that she couldn't have sex with He-Man, since he was her twin brother, She-Ra turned for solace to the delights of lesbianism, as no other man would ever match the unobtainable sibling.

Hey, I think it works. And it explains all the chicks hanging around as well.

He-Man, of course, is obviously on steroids, and hence isn't really "up to it" anyway, as J² so succinctly put it.

Note: On the "If I were an X-man" front, I so far have two counts of shapeshifting, two counts of teleportation (or rough equivalent), two of speed-change, one of telekinesis and one of invisibility (oh, and J² wanted the ability to annoy at will, but I didn't really take that seriously). Thanks to those who emailed me and let me know. Incidentally, J² and I had an interesting discussion about the relative merits of being able to speed oneself up versus being able to slow everything else down.

Personally, I'm interested in the invisibility thing, but I like the concept of speeding yourself up best. I mean, there's all sorts of additional little things that gets you, like faster healing (think about it) and a few other fun concepts. But, on the other hand, would you age quicker?

I like to play in mud. Always have. This isn't the squishy between the toes, I was only watering the garden and oops, gooey pig-fun mud, though. This isn't even the hack-and-slash, more kick-ass than thou, broadsword for a penis-substitute sort of mud, either. It's about roleplaying. It's fun. Have a look. Or don't.

So... if you were an X-Man, what would your power be? Let me know. I'm actually really curious.

I have now seen my first true anime film. I mean, I saw Ghost in the Shell back in my first year, but since then I've come to understand that if it doesn't have oodles of odd sex, it's not really anime.

Well, Wicked City's got weird sex coming out its ears. It was merely bizarre for an hour, but shortly after that I turned to R, sitting next to me, and said: "This is by far the most fucked-up shit I have ever seen." He expressed surprise, but two minutes later he was agreeing with me.

Seriously deranged.

Anyway, it was a life-changing experience, and damn it's fun stuff. I certainly hope no one out there actually takes it seriously, though. Because that, my friend, would be the scariest thing I've witnessed all night.

PS: We also saw X-Men. It was fun. Not as cool as it could have been. I'm so glad they got an Aussie to play Wolverine, because that role really needed it. All in all, thumbs up. And when's the sequel coming out?
