2005 and other stuffs.

[immodica]

So my nose is a bit better than yesterday, but today I feel sick as a dog. I woke up a few times in the night coz I felt so nauseous and right now I feel like I could throw up any minute. Maybe I've eaten something weird or it's one of the symptoms of my cold, but rather I think it's to do with being shit scared of having to do three 3000 word

Thank you! You too!!!

We should meet up sometime, considering we go the same Uni an all.

[immodica]

Yeh we so should! Maybe next semester sometime?

[aerithfreak]

That works. Provided I actually get these essays done before then xD

It's funny how much significance the beginning of January gets. I remember my first year, the deadlines were all on the 5th of Jan. And I had this schedule pasted on my window lol. And last year, I forget what date they had to be in, but while I was writing this essay on Foucault and Freaky Friday (which I got like the lowest mark of the semester on lol) I was also procrastinating in the form of checking thegumtree.com and then I replied to someone's ad on there (ok this sounds sad lol) and he's now my boyfriend of almost a year =) Oh yes, happy deadline memories lol.

What are your essays on? I'm like the queen of cranking out papers so if I can be of assistane for brainstorming or bullshitting, feel free to holler.
Sorry that the cold is still being so evil. *kicks cold to scare it into running away* I find (and this might be a bit TMI, but it's the case) that I sometimes have nausea problems when I have cols and I theorize that it's due to post nasal drip. It always feels to me as though in the course of the various nosey malfunctions that somehow some of the icky goo gets shunted to the tummy, which then files a complaint to alert me to the fact that it is designed to handle food and beverage, but not nose goo. So maybe that's what you're going through?

[immodica]

Omg I have that theory as well! Snot induced nausea! Lol. But when I tell people about it they just look at me funny.

Aww that's so nice of you to offer! My first essay is pretty much sorted, it's a literature review for my BtVS dissertation. Just a question of doing it. There's one I'm a bit stuck on though, which is an essay for Gay & Lesbian cultures. I have to write an essay on the question 'Discuss the claim that coming out is not about discovering an existing identity, but about making a new one'. Now I'm quite comfortable with that, but I need examples (preferably from pop culture, since that's what I'm comfy with hehe) and I can't really think of anything. I was thinking maybe Willow, but I don't think her gay identity really goes that deep. Um yeah *rambles*
Then my third essay is on the Matrix, and I've kinda already set it up, but I just need to do tons of reading to inform my argument lol. And the tutor is such a harsh marker *wobbly knees*

[madelineanne]

Hmm, the G&L one is really an intruiging thought. Willow did definitely sort of reinvent herself when she came out because she became the sort of more confident person in the relationship, as opposed to letting Oz sometimes make her feel dorky. Sadly I don't watch all that much current popular tv so I don't know much about other characters who have come out on shows and such.
I just did a quick hunt and apparently there's a movie called "Edge of Seventeen" about coming out that seems very highly thought of. Isn't there also a subplot about coming out in "Reality Bites"?
Also, a real person as opposed to fictional, but I mean Rosie O'Donnell really seemed to become a very different person when she came out.

[immodica]

*crawls out from under rock i've been living under* Rosie O'Donnell is gay?? Lol.

After I do my reading on gay identity I'll have another think about what I wanna write about, but Willow is always good to fall back on.

Same to all the posters on Iris's LJ :D
