Must escape the droning.

History of Magic is boring. Boring boring booorrrrriiiiiiinnnnggg. I wonder if Binns would notice if I threw my quill through his head. Doubt it, he's nearly comatose anyway. Comatose and yet...he doesn't stop talking...must be one of the perks of being a gh-- AHHHHHHHH

That's silly, why should Binns yell at you for drawing in class? Surely he realises you've been doing it for years.

[ohsogay]

Dunno. He was just pacing round the classroom, going on and on in that monotone of his, until he took one look at my sketchpad and had a fit.

[omfgsusan]

But why...William Ulysses Stebbins. You were drawing naked people, weren't you.

[ohsogay]

Just the one, actually. I was not! Really, Susan. Am shocked and appalled you would even suggest such a thing. One would think you hadn't heard of artistic integrity.

[omfgsusan]

Evidently you haven't heard of it either.

[ohsogay]

Have so! I happen to be an expert, thank you.

[omfgsusan]

Surely not. If you're an expert on anything, it'd be nancy-boy glam rockers.

[ohsogay]

We'll have no snide remarks about Bowie on my watch, missy!

[omfgsusan]

I wasn't being snide! Was being wry. There's a difference.

[ohsogay]

Oh sod off.

[puce_adrian]

Is that really his middle name?

[ohsogay]

It is. My mum has a thing for James Joyce.

[puce_adrian]

I was thinking the greek sailor.

[ohsogay]

Well, yes, that's what I meant. Joyce wrote a version of The Odyssey, but his Ulysses was Irish. I think. Not sure, actually, never read it.

[puce_adrian]

Oh. Right. Irish. I knew that.

[ohsogay]

No worries. It's a pompous book anyway. Apparently there is a society for people who've finished it, they get together once a year to read their favourite passages (i.e., the bits with the biggest obscure words) and drink wine with spiff labels and discuss assorted pretentious things. And you totally wanted to know all that. Stop talking stop talking
