The delusions of a Victorian-overdosed mind.

[clo_again]

...There was tennis fic on my flist a minute ago. Parents called. Talked to them for a few minutes. Hung up. Clicked on fic.

'No such entry'.

Clearly I've spent too long in Egypt with the Victorian travel writers, pondering the implications of reversing the harem system and filling them with men instead of women. The logistics and such actually make a lot more sense that way. Really. Of course you'd have to have succession through the female line, because otherwise there'd be chaos and carnage and concubine rebellions but it'd work far far better than having a million bastard children running around, just waiting to overthrow you. It's my sekritplan to have women rule the world, or perhaps I just really want my own harem filled with the pretty... Not that I just said that. Um.

Or you know, maybe the Victorian-British conquer-all-in-our-path-and-if-it's-not-in-our-path-then-take-a-bloody-detour mentality is rubbing off on me. God, we really were complete wankers. "WE ARE THE MOST AWESOME. ALL YOUR HEATHEN BASE ARE BELONG TO US." *insert politely British evil laughter*

Glad we grew out of it. *cough* Um. Yeah. ;)

edit: On a sort-of-not-really-related note, ever since watching Bring It On the other day I've had "Be agreessive! Be be agressive, be agressive!" running on a loop through my head. Argh, Kirsten Dunst, you know not the mental trauma you're causing.

Weeeeeird. Maybe the universe didn't want you to read fic today.

Mmmm, harem of pretteh.

That's it; it's the universe's way of telling me "GO BACK TO WORK". I was actually doing really well but then I had to print off lecture notes and... sidetracked into LJ. Stealing fic away is the universe's payback, sigh.

That should be the name of it. In big letters above the entrance "Harem of Pretteh". Mmmm. What do you think it'd take to convince Andy and Roger to give up tennis and be in my our harem instead?

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

You should work. Yes. (Says the girl who has spent a morning ripping DVDs, uploading files and talking to Lossi.) Working is productive, and then reward yourself with writing fic. *prods* You can't have fic until you finish your work. Maybe by then I'll have actually finished my Andy/Mardy one which has been driving me insane.

Oooh, yes. Lots of people would come and see the Harem of Pretteh, because, pretty. I dunno, I think if we went and kidnapped them we wouldn't have to convince them. Otherwise... possibly a lot. And you can't keep Andy and Roger to yourself. You have to share :P

Yes. Lots of work. Ahem. (That sounds far more productive than trying to read bad photocopies of books written by Victorian women wandering around Egypt.) I've wasted the last few hours with a headache and now I'm contemplating just writing off tonight in terms of work and ficcing instead. Need to work more on Datta anyway. Oooo, I'll write fic if you write fic! *pokes* I'm craving Andy/Mardy lately. There's not enough out there.

Oooo yes, the sheer prettiness would be irresistible. Kidnapping does seem to solve plenty of the problems and they'd get over it, really they would. We'd pamper them beyond belief. Can't see them really agreeing to it though, you're right there. I'd probably be killed if I tried to keep them to myself. ;) We can all share. Everyone has slightly different favourites, so we probably wouldn't fight all that often.

Bad clo! (Well, it was sort of productive. Wimbledon 2004 final is next on my list to rip. Your work sounds dull.) *sends pills* I know you're going to tell me I'm the devil, but ooooooooh, ficcing. You should so do that instead of work. Well, okay. It's ALMOST done, but not quite. But when I post it, you have to write fic. That might be tomorrow, because I'm currently watching Roger and Marat's 2005 AO semi-final. There isn't enough Andy/Mardy fic, and there really should be more.

They would definitely get over the kidnapping. I'm sure we could think of ways to... repay them ;) All of our love and attention would be showered on them, and who could not like that? You would be hunted down if you kept them to yourself. I have dibs on Andy. At least first ;)

we were doing so well untill bush first got it on with blair.

[clo.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. *sigh* Dumb governments.

[deppprived.livejournal.com]

Bring It On is not a good movie to watch if you're trying to be productive. I always have to fight the urge to do cheers after seeing that movie. "I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot. I'm bitchin, great hair the boys they love to stare" *Groans*

Disappearing tennis fic? Hmmmm, interesting.

The British have nothing on President Bush these days. *Glares at her own administration*

[clo.livejournal.com]

It is really a terribly bad movie for productivity. They're all so ditzy, it kind of rubs off on you. And I ended up humming that all afternoon after reading this. ;) Very distracting. *echoes the groan*

It came back again. :) Think I was going crazy.

The way Blair is going, we're headed towards catching up. -_- It's mindboggling how useless governments are.

[fionaandlossi.livejournal.com]

I think Roger should have a harem. And they should wear as little as humanly possible and do...things to each other.

*nominates Andy and Marat as first members*

[clo.livejournal.com]

... Oh that distracted me in a very good way, imagining Roger with a harem. If I could even remotely work out a viable plot bunny from this, it would at least have to be considered, because *wow*, mental images. Mmmm. Wish I was good at manips.

*adds nominations for Mardy and Tommy to that*

The added advantage of succession down the female line is that way, you KNOW that the successor is of your blood. After all.... can any man really ever be 100% certain that he fathered a child?

[clo.livejournal.com]

*Exactly*. The thing you can ever be absolutely sure of is *who* gave birth. Succession down the female line makes perfect sense. (I think it's a plan for when we take over the world. ;) )

At least it's Bring it On, and not Bring it On Again.

That movie was a cheap porno without the porn. Most upsetting. It had the porn lighting, the porn (lackof) plot, the porn setup, the badly made up fake blonde *ahem* 'actresses', the cheesy dialogue... but they never actually put out with the porn. We kept watching it and WAITING for the sex, but no, it never arrived.

Although it did have a wonderfully pulled off line: 'Hey... wanna do something illegal?' which is now my pickup line of choice.
