Well – wow. I think I’m moving. By the sounds of life rustling, its not a moment too soon. Dominique<\/a> and I are slightly scared it may be a minute too late, but I don’t believe there is much I can do about that. Nor that I should have to. We talked today before I went out to meet Gavin<\/a>. I spent my afternoon with him instead of with the see-through machine, and we went and looked at a place that Darina<\/a> sent me. (I cannot express to the world at large how much I love LiveJournal. Finally I have a Home with a capital H). So very many warm thanks to you madam! <\/p>\n

I met with Robin after school, which had been planned, and we went to see Troy. I was impressed. It was far better than I had been expecting it to be. Horrible epic soundtrack with painful orchestral moments and a few too many slurping kisses, but still – I imagine there are far more students with a grasp of the story now than any other time in the past hundred years.<\/p>\n

[this is forced, but I’ll try for you]{teenagers who think angst is cool, so therefore pretend to have read the illiad, but not really, huddling together in the dark secretly imagining themselves to be the hero on-screen. he has dark hair instead though that knife to his throat, that woman in the bed transformed into the girl beside him he’s nervously holding hands with. he wants to feel that strong but doesn’t know how to yet. only this morning he knocked over a glass and it broke on the yellow tile kitchen floor. they are there with a coke and popcorn and feel a crackle when thier fingers touch hers.  at home she has an ageing dog with an embarrasing name like snork, and a secret love of black adder, which none of thier friends understand.}<\/em><\/p>\n

Robin was dropped off, but not after getting me my giant firelizard. I walked out of the shop with the delightful knowledge that I would be carrying around a four foot scarlet velvet newt for the rest of the day. I don’t imagine many people get to have that moment. <\/p>\n

I met up with Shane afterwards, missing him at the coffeeshop and calling, only to find he’d snuck up at me. There wasn’t a plan, so I hatched a quick one. We would to the toyshop and get a whirlygig and play with it in the park. No such luck, as the shop was closed, so we wandered up to the mexican chicken place and had quesidias. That way I wouldn’t be having gelati for breakfast two days in a row. We ran into CR, then went and had gelati anyways. *grins*  The park was nice. The world was making me look good and had provided the whirlygig for us. We each had a turn and had set it down before the little tiny owners came looking for it. The three of them could have been lined up in row for a politically correct poster on cute children. It was adorable in some terrible way I  probably dislike.<\/p>\n

 Afterwards, in an upholding of chivalry, I was walked to Joe’s, where I was meeting Marc. He was reading when I came in, but once I was noticed conversation immediately launched, not to end until darkness had fallen, hours later. It was wonderful. So many agreements and miniture arguments that weren’t. We’ve been worrying at crosswise purposes, which still amuses me. Now I worry about entirely different things, but I know it’s alright.<\/p>\n

Phew.<\/p>\n
