"But the Tune is Bitter and it Doesn't Take Long to Learn..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Why am I still awake?

I got out loads of books from the library to-day. ^__^ Even with the bookmarks Manon hath given me, I shall never have enough. I got out Death of a Salesman, because I've been rather wanting to read it for so long, and a good deal of John Bellairs, because of speaking about it with Miss Zara.

But I still have Claudius the God to finish-- almost three-hundred pages by Tuesday. There are some books where three-hundred pages go veryvery fast, but Claudius the God is not one of those books, despite the absolutely delightful style of writing. It takes me for-ever. I only manage an average of fifty-four pages for hour treadmilled, which will not be quite enough to get it done by Tuesday, I am thinking--or perhaps it will be, actually. I have six and half hours to treadmill before Tuesday, so-- Ha. I fail at maths, once again!

Mum has decided 'tis time I got sex-ed, being fifteen (or fourteen?) years old and having no idea about anything. So I have a dictionary of sex education from the U.K., and for the first time in my life am being enlightened, except for when petronelle educated me, all of which I promptly forgot two months later. I am-- well. It's all very interesting, isn't it? I feel like such an innocent pathetic flaily little thing.

I have to get up very early to-morrow. I cannot believe I am still awake. ;_____;

...On the plus side, I don't think I have too much to do to-morrow? Ahhh life you are eating me alive again why? I hate this. Flaily. I have no time for taking walks or sleeping or reading any more except treadmilling. Not happy.

There has to be some cure for being a Soujin. I fully intend to find it.

AUGH. *COVERS EYES*

*GLEE!* However, when a woman loves another being very much, someone will end up penniless.

...You. Me. Driveby chapel. Elvis as priest. Now.

I always have issues imagining a time when I DIDN'T know sex stuff. XD A UK book might give you some incorrect slang, though, if that's the sort of thing it's got.. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...It's very helpful. They're much saner in the U.K. Birth control pills are free, for one thing.

[snowyofthenight.livejournal.com]

Ooo.

OMGOMG SOCIALISED MEDICINE!!!!!

[bewareofitalics]

...tell your mom that you'll get it from Shakespeare. (Or that guy in my acting class. *dies* *wait, no...*)

And don't you dare cure yourself of being you!

And go to sleep!

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

(That's nothing-- ...wait.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(I HATE YOU BOTH. WAUGH. *cries*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...I DON'T WANT TO GET IT FROM SHAKESPEARE. ;____; (...Okay, THAT'S REALLY ENOUGH.)

*woes* Why not?

...>_< Shouldn't I just.

[bewareofitalics]

...you'd better stop reading him altogether, then - it's unavoidable. ;) (...bwahahahaha?)

Because we love you just the way you aaaaare!

Yep. You should. Don't answer this, just go sleep.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

*flails weakly* ...go to bed, thou.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...ahaha.

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

Well. See. When a man and a woman love each other very much...*elaborate hand motions and diagrams* There you go! Now you have been sexually educated. :-)

And go to sleep!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

All of you, stoppit now! *HIDES*

...I can't.

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

XD Hee. Well, regardless, it is very interesting. I just happen to be less mature than most in that aspect, so I giggle whenever the subject is brought up. I'm giggling just typing this. Tee hee.

And you need to sleep! It's late! (Or early, as the case may be...)

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, now you can read the REST of Catullus. And Ovid. Mmm. Ovid.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*laughs!* Nooooo. --Ovid, too? Good Lord.

...any recommendations in particular?

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Well, Catullus only wrote one book of poems (that we know of), so...that. Catullus, I guess, doesn't do 'smutty' so much as 'obscenity-spewing angry', but that's fun too.

Ovid's Metamorphoses is long and fun and about mythology and not terribly smutty. The Amores and the Ars Amatoria are also awesome -- the Ars cracks me up. It's like one giant parody of everything, and is about how to pick up girls. He makes fun of Vergil a lot. The Amores are love poetry, and he gets more, er, descriptive than Horace or Catullus does. There's another one I forget the title of that is all poetry written after his exile and is awful depressing.

+SNUGGLES you because she can+ If there's a cure, please don't take it!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*pounces!* I most assuredly will... but I shall have to find it first.

[mmebahorel.livejournal.com]

Does this mean you'll be allowed to read our porn? Or are we sticking to heterosexual sex right now? Because your friends can only help with the homosexual aspects.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I've always been allowed to read your porn; I've just not understood it very well when I have. ^_^;; But I'm getting hetero and homosexual sex ed, so it's all good.
