1) I have just received the syllabus for the Art History Class I am taking at Cambridge, entitled "Man-Eating Monsters and Marvel-Filled Maps." (The professor is apparently fond of hyphens.) Our first reading--our first reading--is entitled "Jerusalem As A Multitext, Text, and Territory

That first reading makes me swoon as well.

Enough to ask that you send it to me posthaste, if at all possible.

[wizzard890]

Possibility and I are close friends. <3

The first reading makes me all hot under the collar. Yeah.

Also I want that dress. I mean--Damn. I am so jealous of you right now. It'll be another year probably before I can go oversea.

Also I'm really torn between the Girl-kissing and Arthuriana. ;_;

When you do go overseas, it's a perfect excuse to splurge on your wardrobe! XD

And I am leaning towards girlkissing myself. There is far, far too little of it in this fandom.

"Man-Eating Monsters and Marvel-Filled Maps"? Holy-, even the alliteration floors me. Be sure to post your thoughts, if not the source!

As for choice:

1. SPAIN. I've done a fic ages ago on this and know how hard getting the characterization and period right. But you're such a great writer that I'm sure you'll do it justice. Plus, I'm struck by the appropriateness of Prussia following "madness".

2. Ancients fic would be awesome. I loved your Israel and I wouldn't mind seeing her again.

You bet! And there's going to be a map exhibit at the British Library while I'm in London, and oh my God, I am spending some time there if it kills me.

Also, yes. Ancients fic is the sort of thing I would love to read--so I guess it stands to reason that I should buckle down and write it!

Oh god, I can't choose between El Dorado and Obligatory Arthuriana fic. Well, ya I can, because I will always choose Arthur. But, but, but, madness! And Prussia! *whines* So I think you should do both!

[hiza_chan]

Also, I think I've mentioned this before, but your classes have me drooling in envy a little bit. Even more also, that dress is ADORABLE. You should take a picture with the tights, boot, and trench. It'll look fabulous.

[wizzard890]

I am pretty much beside myself at the thought of writing Prussia. It seems like it would be a blast, but I've never really spent a lot of time with him, mentally. We shall see, though. I am very attracted to that one in particular. <3

Love the dress, I kind of want one now.

I hope you enjoy your stay in California! Where are you going here, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, out of the choices I voted for Ancients fic because I am totally up for girl-kissing. Hetalia is a fandom in need of some femmeslash.

[wizzard890]

We're going to San Francisco! It promises to be highly enjoyable~

I am so with you when it comes to femmeslash too. I mean, guys, come on! We are letting that ship sail without even attempting to hop on board!
