"Stressed" is "desserts" spelled backward.


Oh hai.

I had an urge to write here -maybe because I don't want to work.
Indeed, I have a tone of work, a pile of assignments, and I don't even know where to start. Since yesterday I'm doing researches for my rhétorique de la critique courses, and I still don't know if I'll do my paper about the homosexuality in the Picture of Dorian Gray film (1945). I think I have more chances to find critics, essays and notes about that topic than on How Many miles to Babylon? by Jennifer Johnston *sob*. Too bad, I really wanted to base my thesis on "HELLO ALEC AND JERRY ARE LIVING A MORE-THAN-FRIENDLY RELASHIONSHIP" -but I liked the Dorian Gray's movie at least.
I watched it yesterday night but I didn't read the book of Oscar Wilde, I DON'T HAVE TIME *sob* . I've only found the movie in its original version WITHOUT SUBTITLES. At the very beginning it was hard to understand when the characters were speaking -I mean, do they even articulate? I managed to be accustomed after 10 minutes or so, though I think Lord Henry Wotton is an incomprehensible person at heart (but I love his hedonist philosophy ♥). I didn't find Dorian Gray that appealing; on the contrary I literary fell in love with the character of Sibyl Vane, performed by Angela Lansbury. She's maybe one of the most beautiful woman of the world.
Speaking about beautiful things, I absolutely loved the background of the movie. Dorian's house struck me to the heart -GREC DECORATION MY FRIENDS. All the mansion, from the door to the carpet, all was a reference to antiquity with statues, paintings, embroidery, etc. It was such a pleasure to my eyes, all seemed so refined and I think it helped to set a quite "gay" atmosphere.

Iiih okay I've always loved this part of History, but since I'm again into the Saint Seiya fandom I squee-ed like a fangirl when I saw a decoration of Athena in Dorian's house. YES, Saint Seiya is back to my heart. I've watched the 13 OAVs of The Lost Canvas saga and man, it rocks hard. I love the character design of Shiori Teshirogi, it's so fresh and it's not effeminate to the extreme, yes! I'm currently reading the manga, since the OAVs are only a compilation of the 6 first volume of the serie. I can't wait to see the Gemini knight ♥ and Kagaho akqjahsgas -I love Hadès and his generales.
Man, look at the fangirl I am. But it's SO GOOD to have a fandom again, I feel alive for a bit, and it helps to feel better sometimes.

Indeed I felt a little depressed those past days, because my sister quit college. Hence I've been alone at school, weaking up alone, walking to the train station alone, eating alone, etc. But in other hand it's something I needed in order to have a social life. Living always with my twin isn't a good thing for me, I know it since the very beginning, but it's hard to not laugh with her like we used to. Because college is depressing, having her by my side was important. Well, that was what I thought. Now that I'm alone, I have to go towards others to make friends. And I didn't know it would be so "easy", but I made 4 good friends (Sofien, Leïla, Hédi and Amélie) in few days, and other acquaintances. I'm less afraid to go to college now, but I still hate it. Also, a guy who is sitting next to me during the Chinese class is apparently the same as my sister and me, we have a lot in common, like OMG HE LIKES CLUBBING. Okay, Nasser mon cher, thanks to you I'll maybe have a social life.

*cough* But I think it's not for today, for I have to stop writting here and go back to my studies. I have Robinson Crusoe to read -I dropped The Pilgrim's Progress, it was too boring, like, worst than Jacques le Fataliste.
