+ I had a series of extremely weird dreams last night. Ugh. Actually, I slept about 12 hours; I went to bed around 9 and woke up a little before 9 a.m.

+ Based on the same frequently-advertised RPG ad I keep finding in my inbox, I'm about to come to the conclusion that Gor is fucking stupid. (No pun intended. Mind you, I am a big fan of good clean BDSM, but I'm not into the master/slave thing except once in a blue moon.) Although I did get a good laugh out of the subject line: "Serious Gorean members for online". Uh huh huh huh huh, members. Heh heh heh m heh heh.

I'm tempted to apply for the express purpose of playing the spider plant of Gor, but somehow I don't think the GM would see the joke. Have you ever noticed how some people take their jollies way too fucking seriously?

(On the other hand, I'm sure a total stranger who came across my running commentary on everything would be like, "Wow, Lee sure thinks samurai are SRS BSNS," so who am I. Except I'm not, you know, fapping to chanbara films or anything. Never having sex again would be an entirely fair trade-off if it meant I got to do a lot of things I want to do. :D)

+ Ihara Saikaku wrote arguably some of the most lolarious literature of Tokugawa Japan. I am omgsoinlove with Tales of Samurai Honor (the title is satirical; a lot of them are about anything but). Particularly recommended: "The Hackberry House, Cursed by the Gods". Admittedly, those of you who actually look up the story (or a synopsis), read about halfway through, and are familiar with my sense of humor will break into groans of execration. Srry.

+ I HAS AN INT0RVIEW. :DDDD For a resumé I sent back in April, of all things. Still, ain't complaining! It's fairly close (on the east side of Evansville) and it's clerical. We'll see if it goes anywhere, but hell, nothing ventured nothing gained.

+ I CAN HAS UNEMPLOYMENT. It's not much, and I can only draw it for about two and a half months before my maximum allotment is up (so I have to find a job before the end of that time, no matter what it is), but hey, it does eliminate some of the immediate money worries.

+ It was so so so so so nice outside today. Sunny, but not too hot, and not humid at all. There was a good breeze blowing, too. :DDDD ♥

+ [livejournal.com profile] deliciouspastry has been updated, for the 1.5 of you who care about that sort of thing. [livejournal.com profile] momo will be glad to know that, thanks to her speshful help, I squeaked in juuust under the wire and got my fandom challenge done. I am taking a week off "assigned" fan writing to concentrate on some other projects (namely, cleaning up and posting "Kind", working on another fic tentatively titled "Penthesilea" because I have no imagination whatsoever, and t3h n0v3l). After that, God knows what'll happen.

+ I realize that nobody gives a shit about Greek mythology/Homer/classics/Trojan War fanfic, other than me, but right now that's what I feel like writing. IF PEOPLE AREN'T ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR, I CAN START WRITING SAMURAI FIC REAL FAST.

YAY INTERVIEW. Also, clerical is good because it limits contact with the Public. Capital P because that's what they smell like.

I disapprove of Greek stuff, simply because I would prefer you to write Roman stuff *g*

And then somebody else called and wanted to give me a phone interview. I have to wait a couple of weeks as the firm administrator will be out of town until July, BUT IS OKAY. :DDDD

If there were a letter that were pronounced "wee", that would be even better.

I HEAR AND TREMBLINGLY OBEY. Except for the whole thing where I don't *g*

What kind of job is the phone interview for? (Yay you regardless, of course.)

I am all about Messalina at the moment, so feel free to cast aside your Greek blokes and write stories about her instead *g*

It is a legal-secretary position. :D WILL THE PHONE RING TOMORROW? THE SUSPENSE WILL KILL YOU ME.

But then it would all be brainless pr0n. And you were shocked to find boobies in a Sarah Waters novel. TEH HORROR.

Also, I like my Greek blokes. They have penises! And you KNOW what that means. :DDD

Ooh, legal secretary would be good. As long as the lawyers you're working for are decent, anyway ;)

I am more interested in the This Woman Is Prettier Than Me So I Shall Have Her Killed side of things.

...they can wee standing up?

I've never worked for these lawyers before, so I don't know yet ;)

...is there any vicarious living there that I should know about? *g*

*facepalm*

No, no vicarious living at all. The thought of having to shag Claudius makes me all ICKY inside.

I meant in terms of having people prettier than you killed *g*

Do we have any proof that she actually DID shag him? I mean, she was so promiscuous that the kids may not actually have been his ;)

I'd say she probably did, because I don't think even Claudius would've failed to notice a supposed virgin birth. Especially when it happened a second time :D Although the fact that ol' Claud was so eager to put Nero ahead of Brit makes me think that Brit probably looked just like Mnester or someone else similarly non-Claudian *g*

Well, true, and marriage in antiquity was generally invalid unless consummated :D

Maybe Agrippinilla was just better at manipulation. After all, who can you trust if not your own family? ;)

(There used to be a hilarious parody LJ called emperor_nero, written by somebody who obviously had any idea what s/he was doing when it came to the history and Latin aspects. Unfortunately, it's been bahleeted into the ether, which is a shame, because it caused me to make inappropriate noises on public computers *g*)

It still is, in the sense that you can get an annulment rather than a divorce :D

All the good stuff gets bahleeted :(

That spider plant... fic? thing... cracked me up liek woah. *ded* But then you know me and my wtf crack-y humor, so this shouldn't surprise you. 8D;;; I are teh amusededed.

Ihara Saikaku wrote arguably some of the most lolarious literature of Tokugawa Japan. I am omgsoinlove with Tales of Samurai Honor (the title is satirical; a lot of them are about anything but). Particularly recommended: "The Hackberry House, Cursed by the Gods". Admittedly, those of you who actually look up the story (or a synopsis), read about halfway through, and are familiar with my sense of humor will break into groans of execration. Srry.

O RLY. I must investigate this. >_>; I am sure to be vry amuseded again. ♥

OH AND PICS, YOU SHALL HAS THEM... eventually. >_>; I haven't forgotten, but I am teh lazyass, as you know. :x

And for some reason, I am ttly unfazed by Gor, but then you know how my kinks roll, so. 8D;;; I am all about that sort of thing, but as you know I also don't take it QUITE as seriously as those pseudo-BDSM wannabe idiots who don't like playing by the rules and just want to play King of the Fucking Hill to pretend their junk in the trunk isn't srsly lacking in size. *cough* Yeah, I ain't fooled by their posturing, and I am srsly unimpressed with their blatant overcompensation. *cough* Still, that kink is indeed fun to play with, as, y'know, fantasy, hello. Not real. Methinks "real life" Gorean men need their manri bits shanked... what little there is to shank anyway. :P

I thought it was pretty funny too. Also recommended: Gay, Bejeweled, Nazi Bikers of Gor (http://books.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=544176437). 8D;

You may not be so amuseded when you find out why it makes me giggle. XDDDD The story in question involves a gag with someone on the toilet. IT WAS FUNNY 320 YEARS AGO, IT'S FUNNY NAU. XDDDDD; ♥

j00 know I raav j00 anyway, right? ♥

Yeah, I have no beef (uh huh huh huh) with it as fantasy, though it's not my thing, but the people who take it way too fucking far...yeesh. I mean, if we're talking consenting adults, not my thing, but I don't really care. It's just that here on Earth, where the true nature of things has been distorted, I only like alpha masculinity when I am the alpha male. :D
