seven deadly sins: lust

[silvia_elisa]

The reason I was in a hurry yesterday was the birthday party for Nice Flatmate's girlfriend, SJ; while she was being distracted by a visit to ZSL, I was in charge of getting everything ready. Which I did, with a flourish I daresay! Anyway, I had promised Nice Flatmate that the guests with no one to talk to would be handled by me and my... ehm... genial personality. :D Hopefully, the nicknames won't be confusing. :)


Day 7: Lust.
Seven love secrets.

1. Kiss and tell. I do it, I'm not proud of it, and yet... Nice Flatmate definitely knows more than it's healthy. Hehe. Perhaps there's a massive psychological trauma behind my need to spill the beans about my 'conquests', I've never looked into it because even if I do kiss and tell, I am not comfortable with it. I feign confidence most of the time because I think it's ridiculous to be embarrassed at my age, especially if I'm being asked for advice by someone younger than me.


2. Special Friend. Notwithstanding that, I used to have someone I could be open about everything with. Used because he's back home (and with a girlfriend) and I'm here. The only guy that was still capable of making me feel like I was fifteen all over again. *facepalms* I sort of use him as the basic mold for my male characters. But I think I've told you about him already so let's move on.


3. In order of appearance, Swiss Swot. I found him really annoying last term because he does in Drama what I do in Eng Lit: raise his hand at every other thing the lecturer says. Found him even more annoying in our first seminar this term, when he superimposed himself as the group leader without asking anyone. Inexplicably found him attractive when he started talking to me. One stupid reason to dress up on Fridays. :)


4. Tall Guy. According to his friend (Nice Flatmate's girlfriend), he is the male version of me. We clean, a lot. According to this theory, we are also forbidden from hooking up because it would be weird... (I agree) Er- yeah, so he cleaned up our kitchen after the party last night and I swear I have never thought cleaning was sexy before but I sure do now. Still, it's a love secret because I am not actually that into him when he's not cleaning. :P


5. Lookalike. Google David Mitchell, listen to his voice: that's what this guy sounds like. O_o Another friend of SJ (who is singing 'sitting in a tree: K-I-S-S-I-N-G' outside my door atm) and a DW and FF fan (if anybody asks what FF is, you're not enough of a geek), he reminds me a bit of Benedict from Much Ado About Nothing because he literally spent the party throwing every possible joke about short people at me -- I retaliated with water from my gun, had to stop when I got caught in crossfire between Tall Guy and Lookalike. It's wrong that I want to snog him senseless now, isn't it?


6. That being said... Have I mentioned their age? I do not go for younger guys. I know, how unbefitting of me. I don't really have a reason, other than being in my twenties I feel a bit pedophiliac in fancying... boys? Not that I have much common ground with people my age, mainly because I am still a little girl inside and I get excited over little things, which my friends find extremely amusing.


7. I have a writer's mind. In social situations, my brain is mentally taking notes. I found an icon some time ago that said something along the lines of 'I stare not because you're good looking but because you've just helped me figure out how to off my villain' and that's the gist of what I'm saying. The only thing I can't gather info on is banter because I am incapable of coming up with a witty retort in real life, let alone in writing. :D

... It took me a while to write up this post, as I mentioned to pretty_panther yesterday... yeah, not my thing. I think the creators of this meme left Lust at the end for precisely this purpose; Pride, which is pretty hard, is first and Lust, which is awkward, is last. It's done now! I'm not doing a daily meme for a while now, too much pressure! :)

Day 1 - Pride. Seven great things about yourself.
Day 2 - Envy. Seven things you lack and covet.
Day 3 - Wrath. Seven things that piss you off.
Day 4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.
Day 5 - Greed. Seven worldly material desires.
Day 6 - Gluttony. Seven guilty pleasures.
Day 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.
