retrospectively gay; friendship; foreigner saga

• i just remembered that that korean guy from my high school whom, along with his best friend, i like to compare to momokai... picked madonna as his favourite music when we did a presentation on it in 10th grade. yeah, he analysed "frozen" as a work of poetry. why didn't that seem gay to me at the time? ...maybe the momokai analysis = even more valid than i initially thought.



• i've been thinking a lot about friendship lately (and i just read a very interesting post by almostnever about it here). i thought i spotted the back of shiroi_chi's head at school on thursday. i'm about 99% sure it wasn't her - i'm pretty sure she's still in lithuania. but the interesting part was the way my heart gave a little leap of joy even knowing it was not her. actually, when i was leaving campus a couple of weeks ago i ran into anglepoiselamp and we walked into town together and the effect was similar. it's just funny to me how very happy seeing my friends unexpectedly makes me, when it's not like it's at all difficult to see them on purpose. it's something about the familiarity of your friends in the midst of strangers, maybe. (hee! speaking of the joy caused by seeing friends unexpectedly, isilya just imed me from the airport, then signed off again in less than a minute, before i had a chance to even respond; kanske hon va 2 sekunder från att va en one-minute man. ♥! even though i talk to her every day practically.)



• still rereading cj cherryh's foreigner saga, slowly because writing and watching things have been consuming my free time. ( foreigner saga from the vantage of invader, chapter 14; on long drawn-out UST and the similarities between the heroes of adventure stories and mary sues. )

the lady is a tramp

last night i was prompted to make caps of the gene kelly/cyd charisse green-dress dance number from singin' in the rain. it's a really sexy and fun dance. and man, do i want her costume.

( the highlights )

i have an .avi of the movie, if anyone wants it.
