Oxford Flashback ... and an accidental motif of older men
I was finally, after 3 years, putting my Oxford Summer School/Paris photos into an album, and came across the journal that I kept while living there. I found our old quote page, and thought I would post them for anyone who was there ... and also, I must say, WHAT WERE WE THINKING GOING TO EURO DISNEY, BLAKE?! Oh such silly people we were/are.
"They're having a bbq but it's cold, and you haven't got any beer!" ~Trevor on the 4th of July ... he was having trouble grasping the idea that there was a party to celebrate our independence from his nation ....
"There's no extension cord!" ~Nora, Lucy, Blakely, Sarah and myself in Stratford. We decided that the mayor unplugs the city at 5, which is why EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN SO GOD DAMN EARLY!
"What time is it?" ~Sarah while we're standing RIGHT in front of Big Ben. And yes, she was indeed serious.
"I was not so hypnotized that I breast fed a leprechaun." ~Me to Sarah. There was a night when a hypnotist came to the dorm, and one thing led to another ... and I'm pretty sure that Sarah just ended up making up stories.
"Women are just diagnosed more because they're in touch with their feelings. Men just die." ~Dave on diagnosing depression. Dave was later fired for sexual harassment of a student. Oh, good times.
"I know that at summer camp you'd rather be drinking or chasing boys, but please find time to memorize your lines." ~Trevor ... my beloved theatre professor from London University. Mmmm, Trevor. (He wasn't THAT old.)
"But we know there are people out there who are crackers ... they're mad, they're loony!" ~Dr. Burley, my wonderful Psychology Professor. He was also an esteemed psychiatrist. Wouldn't you just love having your therapist talk this way about you?
"A complete idiot can play a person of high status - just look at your president!" ~Trevor while going over status (aka levels of power for all you B-Dawg students out there) in scenes
"This stretch really doesn't do anything ... I just like to watch you all in this position." ~Trevor while leading warm-ups.... dirty, dirty man
"Like a fox!" and "It's like The Godfather part four." ~Blakelyisms
"This rocks my world." ~Me in front of Stonehenge ... I didn't mean to make the bad pun, and was never allowed to live it down
"Hello? Sex appeal, sexy accent. What more do you need for a marriage?"
"The ability to have an erection." ~Blakely and myself ... she did not approve of my affection for Trevor. I'll say it again. He wasn't THAT old.
"I love baaaaaah." ~All of us .... now if you can figure out the play on words there to discover the alternate meaning (without my having told you), then you are a genius.
