mixed random post because I'm in my break before another four hours of classes.
1. This is the weekly I'm-wanting-to-punch-my-PM-in-the-face bit. Please skip if you don't care/agree/you're sick of me being monotonous, it's just because I need to rant.
"The bridge is prioritary. Because it'll be thanks to the bridge that Sicilians will finally feel Italians one hundred per cent. The left has interrupred it and we'll get back on it as soon as possible."
Okay. Seriously. Premise number one: I'm half Sicilian. Premise number two: that particular piece of land is the most seismic zone in this whole country and the last time there was an earthquake in Messina at the beginning of the century there were thousands of dead people. Not to mention that that whole zone is practically a deposit of TNT, metaphorically speaking. That said.
a) Two days ago an earthquake destroys a region and you go and sponsorize a BRIDGE on the most seismic zone in this country which doesn't even need to be built since ships work just freaking fine? (Tip: I go there every-year. No one needs a bridge.)
b) Knowing this country, this thing wouldn't get built in the next thirty years, it'd cost a lot of money and at least two of our four mafias would get their hands on the constructions and being the only ones benefiting from it. Like, no?
c) I don't know ANY Sicilian who doesn't feel 100% Italian because there's no bridge. And I know a fucking awful LOT of Sicilians. There's no need for that thing and surely I don't feel less Italian when a bridge is not connecting Sicily to the mainland. (fine, I'm only half-Sicilian, but I'm entitled.)
d) My not-so-dear-Mr.B, you know what's not making me feel not 100% Italian? Not only the bare fact that you think I don't/wouldn't because of such a stupid reason, but also the fact that you said at least twice that whoever doesn't vote for you is a dick (*raises hand*) and that you can't represent me outside my country for shit. Because seriously, no one goes after the President of the USA screaming 'MR OBAMAAAA' like in the bar in front of your house while getting Queen Elizabeth to ask who the hell is screaming. That's what makes me feel estranged and disgusted and left out. Not a fucking bridge.

2. Meme number one from marylou_gr since I need to do something not-RL or politics related before I go back to class.
1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.
Ooo-kay, so, since Eddie is a fictional character I'll just give you my current ideal choice for him who would be (also thanks to falafel_musings who mentioned him to me first) Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Even if my other choice is Johnny Depp in the Gilbert Grape era but he's twenty years too old for this.
Marry
That was the only easy one. Eddie. ♥ Yeah, fine, he's already married and I kinda want him to live happily ever after with Roland or at least in a threesome with him and his wife but doesn't change the heart of the matter, which would be that since Eddie is the fictional character I'd ditch EVERYONE ELSE for of course I want to marry him. No-way. The man is my fictional perfect guy, no question.
And well, the other two were very, very, very hard. But...
Shag
SIR. Because... I mean. JDM. I just want to do things to this man which are so NC17 rated. *licks lips like woah*
Throw off a cliff
Sayid. SORRY, BABY! You're still my second-favorite Lost character ever and if I had had some mellow option (or some supernatural being) in my choices I'd have shagged you instead of throwing you down, BUT...
a) I value my life and while I'm sure that I'd definitely pay the price and die after having sex with you I'm still too young. Maybe in twenty years we can talk about it. ;)
b) You're so badass that even if I threw you off the cliff you couldn't die. You're too awesome to die in such a trite way.
c) I think you're really better off with men. Desmond can give you a look over if you're hurt after the fall. Sorry. ♥
3. The character meme again from missy_useless, who gave me Jin from Lost.
01. Do you like this character?
Sure! I think I've always had a thing for him. I underrate him as he's generally underrated but I've always liked him even in S1 (hey, one who goes around offering sea urchin can't exactly be a complete jerk, right?). He's one of the few consistently written characters in that show, he had one of the best arcs and without even speaking the language and plus, DDK is a hottie. Totally. Not to mention, he has the best dad!!
02. What name/s do you call this character?
Duh, Jin,
03. What image/color do you associate with the character?
Light blue. Or Light yellow. Image... ha, probably fishing nets? Sorry, I suck at this.
04. What image-song do you associate with this character?
I suck at images. Anyway, song is Accidentally Like a Martyr, Warren Zevon. All the way. And Counting On A Miracle by Bruce, but that's Sun/Jin to me.
05. What blood-type do you think this character is?
Uhm, something says 0 positive.
06. Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
Well, I love him with Sun. Definitely one of the best het ships on the show. I also love him with Sawyer, friendship or not. And wiith Hurley. The trip with Hurley, Des and Charlie just wins IMHO. And ah, yeah, Michael. Him too.
07. What would you want to say to this character?
You're complete ♥, I totally get your struggling with English, please keep on dying each finale because since you always resuscitate you'll probably make it until the end and I want you to make it, please keep on being awesome and give Sawyer a lot of hugs.
08. What do you want to do with this character?
Uhm, with DDK I'd like to have him to myself for one night. But apart from that, take him from the Seventies and deliver him right in front of Sun. Or the contrary. As soon as they're in the same time-frame.
And now off for four hours of class. *sigh* Thankfully there's a break in two days.
