.hurray for mid-day quasi porn

[aesc]

It's time to add another thing on the happy list, and that is spontaneous quasi-porn in the middle of profoundly boring work.

Context: Holiday cards and because I have none of these things at the moment, my wish for cold, cold New England nights involving a fireplace, hot chocolate, and boys:

sheafrotherdon: naked boys, on the rug, Rodney between John's legs, dragging his body over John's, rocking, rocking, kissing him as if they have all the time in the world . . .
aesc: ... and, you know, John would be all bronze and shadows in the firelight, which is all the light they have.
sheafrotherdon: You win for the world's fastest recorded breaking of a cates. *falls over*
aesc: \o/ Woo hoo!

This is much more satisfying to me than the narrative bibliography I just finished (though that was actually quite happy-making), and infinitely more so than the reading I have to start. Please, no more Ricoeur, I cannot take him.

Also, WHERE THE HELL IS MY WINDOW???? *wants*

.eta: Rodney always makes me smile. How adorable is he? And how awesome is crysothemis?

that makes me alternate between thinking it might be okay, and making me hyperventilate.

I think that is the standard response. For what it's worth, humanities programs are much more interested in your scores on reading comprehension and (I think, if the exam still has it) writing, no so much in trigonometry. And they'll weigh your writing sample and recommendation letters more than the GRE. I can't speak to the transcripts because your grading works differently *g*)

It's just that you people have so many universities! What do you need with so many...

Heh heh :D Sometimes I'm not sure, outside of the general observation that Americans want to feel like they have an embarrassment of choices, no matter the situation. There is probably an actual explanation, but I honestly can't think of it at the moment :D

I hope so! My verbal scores far outweighed my maths score when I sat the SATs. Admittedly, that was when I was 14, but I doubt there's been a huge change since then.

Erk, yes, I know. I have Cate trying to help me convert my grades to a GPA thingummie, which is not so much fun, given that my university only marks undergrads out of 80%

*g* Well, it might very well be because there are about fifty times more Americans than Irish ;) But still! So maaaaany.
