Four hours 'til hometime? That's inhumane!

[Poll #429616]

It never surprised me that Low should be devout Mormons - I've always suspected that if they ever had a cup of tea, they'd suddenly realise life was not actually that bad, and start making perky but utterly unremarkable music. But Eliza Dushku? Brandon Flowers from the Killers? These do not strike me as people suffering a serious caffeine deficit.

I chose the first one as Pope's a midget and I have no real love of either and the second through wishful thinking.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Your policy is deeply heightist. But if I were as tall as you, I might operate on the same basis.

[johnnyvertigen.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, almost forgot. Jamie's coming round mine's tonight around 8ish to discuss the finer points of club night. And to drink. Probably a great deal. By all means join us.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Already booked, I'm afraid. Scribble down some minutes and mail me them tomorrow?

[johnnyvertigen.livejournal.com]

I'll be cold in my grave before I start writing minutes, but we'll let you know if any last minute machinations come to light.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

That'd certainly be a new departure for the zombie film genre.

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

As much as i'd like Pete to die horribly tomorrow, I think the Pope may go, though a part of me does think he is indestructible. I studied 'The Rape of the Lock' at A-Level, didn't do terribly well and have never read any Keats so for those reasons I'm calling myself a peon.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

We may well have done the same A-Level, then. What other books did you cover?

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

Oh god, i can't remember. May have been 'Pride and Prejudice', I honestly can't remember. I dislike the language used in those times, not coarse enough.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

You didn't get Chaucer, then? We did him on the same course and he's plenty coarse.

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

Oh of course! D'oh! Yeah we read the Wife of Bath. Curse my memory.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Ah! Bet it was the same course, then, albeit with some differing choices.

[fugitivemotel.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, we did the Wife Of Bath too! Cor, what fun that was.

[fugitivemotel.livejournal.com]

I did The Rape of the Lock at A-Level too.

And Sons and Lovers. And Macbeth. I think.

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

I think the other set did Sons and Lovers. Think I did Macbeth at GCSE and did As You Like It at A-level.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

We had this mad femeinist A level course with an english as translation module. It was great! Ibsen and Flaubert rock.
I did Macbeth for O Level

'glamourous indie rock 'n' roll' and their token look-i-can-sing-about-gays-too song made me suspicious about the killers. glad i was right.

unfortunately, if pete snuffs it, i'll probably end up having to look at so many more sweaty-crackhead pictures in memory of the little f*cker.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know it would make him a martyr but it's a price I'm prepared to pay.

The Killers, though...they have songs about accidentally murdering your girlfriend! And at least two which are a bit gay! And I really like 'GIR&R'! I'm not appalled at this news, just very surprised.

[cappuccino-kid.livejournal.com]

the last word on the Killers should go to Andrew- "Ned's Atomic Dustbin attempting Romo".

[miss-newham.livejournal.com]

Eliza Dushku???? Say what?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Ah. Apparently she's lapsed, which makes more sense. (http://www.eonline.com/Features/Features/Tube2003/StarQA/dushku.html) Note to self: do research *before* posting.

[kiss-me-quick.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm a good Catholic girl, myself.

[violentbec.livejournal.com]

just like me! :)

[tiny-tear.livejournal.com]

and me!

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Hey fungirls, get a (convent) room!

she even let me try on her wimple!

[violentbec.livejournal.com]

'you catholic gurls start MUCH TOO LATE' as said billy joel.
heh. yes, i know all the words to that banned song.

Another Catholic casualty, misunderstood until proven guilty

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Man, let's not get into quoting lyrics about Catholicism or we'll be here all day!

[violentbec.livejournal.com]

dude, we're here all day anyroad.

speaking of which, my dad has emailed me to say he has included me in his monday prayers of perpetual adoration. what? no novena? tch.

[fugitivemotel.livejournal.com]

I prefer Pope's style, but he was such a bitter goth of a man that I find it hard to get through his stuff, so I'll go with Keats.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

It's not so much that I get annoyed that his emotional range seldom stretches past bitterness - it's that he's so fvcking self-righteous about that fact.

[razorcheekbones.livejournal.com]

Aye.

[iancstewart.livejournal.com]

Low, Mor(m)ons.

P!sser.

[miss-newham.livejournal.com]

Kate Moss will save pete Doherty from himself and then there will be a film about it which will make me just as cross as Leaving Las Vegas did.

[tiny-tear.livejournal.com]

John keats is a bit goth isn't he?

"Can death be sleep when life is but a dream, and scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by..." (i used to know this one by heart, i even did a translation for my Creative writing class at Uni...)

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends on your definition of goth. Keats was half in love with easeful death; Pope was convinced that he was a physical freak and everyone hated him. The difference between Pope and most mopey goths being, Pope really was a physical freak whom everyone hated.

[gregjames.livejournal.com]

I picked Keats as he's the only new romantic worth a sh*te but I still wanted to be a peon as well. This poll lacked combinatory options.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Negative capability notwithstanding, there was no room for indecision. Also, your lack of Byron & Shelley love saddens me.

[gregjames.livejournal.com]

Not a lack of love so much as their stuff just never really marked itself on my brain. And Shelley always seemed like a bit of a blowhard to me.

The use of blowhard might be incorrect - i just remembered it and it sounds cool so I had to use it.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

I prefer Yeats to Keats anyway.
I think it was Ode to bloody Autumn that tipped the balance

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

I do like Yeats in places, but sometimes he completely loses me.

[gregjames.livejournal.com]

Yeats is okay but Oscar Wilde was the better aesthete. Yeats never looked gheye enough.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

yesbut the easter rising.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

if you think the poems are confusing you should see some of the family's paintings!
