"Not because of caffeine, it was insomnia. I couldn't stop thinking about coffee."

CURRENT MOOD :
+ So I turned in my paper about my thoughts on yaoi, and the title is now even more fitting because my outline was so thick that by the time I finished blithering about RaceFail and Merlin fandom, I reached the suggested page maximum. I didn't even need to talk about Narnia's Problem Of Susan anymore, and it's almost a shame because my friend bought me the Pocket Companion to Narnia for Christmas and I was looking forward to using it. OH WELL.

+ My subscriptions on greader have become flimsy excuses to be spammed by pretty pictures. Quite possibly I spent some time procrastinating on Made of Gold going jfklsjfljsdfsd at every other photo, especially this Angel and this Bradley. Is it time for a Merlin rewatch of fast-forwarding to all the parts where Arthur and Gwen make sexy eyes at each other? Perhaps.

+ Plot Bunny #4398: Modern day AU, Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot in an uneasy polyamorous arrangement on an extended vacation somewhere. Ennui and colorful drinks on white-sand beaches. Part travelogue and part displaced emotions, with liberal amounts of sexytimes.

+ Plot Bunny #5840: Futurefic, post-battle Arthur/Morgana. Some excuse for a quiet moment in which a weary Morgana, all decked out in armor, leans back against a tree and closes her eyes. Then she and Arthur have a Moment, and then there are sexytimes.

+ Don't I have enough WIPs? Don't I need to eat these leftover fortune cookies and croissant and watch some TV? The answer is yes.

+ AHAHAHA wut. 'Bromance' has its own Wikipedia page. "Aristotle described a concept similar to the bromance as early as 300 BCE."

dude, i want to write cool papers! the more i fail at school the more i want to learn, idk.

angel is like 'why yes, i am smokin' hot, thank you for noticing,' and bradley just looks shocked. i...really need to get caught up on this show. on a related note, I AM IN FAVOR OF BOTH OF THESE PLOT BUNNIES, especially the first one.

wikipedia never ceases to amuse me. or scary me, but mostly it's fun.

omg dude, that picture of Bradley, I almost cannot handle it. Like if I stare at it for too long, I might go blind from joygasm.

I really want the first one. Maybe I should give these up to the kink meme? I want Gwen in pretty sundresses with the wind in her hair. Arthur pulling her onto his lap in the ferry and she laughs and Lancelot makes some wry comment. I want making out in the shallows! Lancelot standing on the shore smoking a cigarette as he looks out at the sea. (It's Lancelot who kisses Arthur first.) Gwen wondering if they've got enough sunscreen. Sometimes there are insults so subtle you can barely detect them. One day Arthur comes back to the hotel room to find Gwen and Lancelot undressing each other in bed and everyone freezes, deers in headlights. Then Arthur takes off his shirt in one brusque movement and throws it a little too hard at the corner, and he goes to the bed as Gwen reaches out a hand to him, too.

That article is the most hilarious thing I've seen on Wikipedia since Obama became president (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/Lassiter/hedid.jpg).

Okay, Made of Gold is going on my reader like, yesterday. OMG. OMGOMGOMG. This ship is, like, omg. I've never really been so into a primary canon ship before. (Except Anne and Wentworth OMG.)

Also Aristotle, lol. Greek philosophers are the best, man. Although maybe the best is when they argue about Achilles/Patrocles, like, is it canon and who's on top.

OH DEAR GOD BRADLEY WHY MUST YOU KILL ME. AND ANGEL TOO. This cast is just too pretty for their own good! *devours some of their pretty*

BOTH THOSE PLOT BUNNIES ARE AWESOME. You should write them both :)

Also, there are so many random Wiki pages, it fills me with GLEE.

THEY REALLY ARE. Inhumanely so.

I'm more inclined to write the Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot thing, but I won't right now, 'cos I'm kind of ficced out, oh man.

Hmm, I've been contemplating posting my essay here under f-lock. Soon perhaps! If I don't completely hate it upon rereading?

If I did that I would never post ANYTHING. Post it anyway. *waits*
