Sex pays. Love costs.
Apr. 22nd, 2008 12:19 pmThe French Posse left Monday Morning. I know that those weekends shouldn't be a weekly occurrence because they would lose their 'special' feel but still, they're so awesome that it's always a bit weird when it's over. The flat certainly seemed big all of a sudden. No
crazybutsound and
greedy_dancer and
moimoietmoi and
french_hobbit anymore. So much space for ole lil' me!
On RL, non-fangirl standards, I suppose we kinda did nothing. But on a fangirl point of view, we had a busy weekend! Starting on Thursday night for
crazybutsound and me. Then the rest of the French Posse joined us on Friday... well, that is, a series of bad luck prevented
french_hobbit from joining us on that day but we won't dwell on that because it wasn't one of our finest moment *cough* She did arrive on Saturday, though, so all wasn't lost.
Basically we only left the flat on Sunday for a little Starbucks outing. We also went to very exciting places like Ikea or La Redoute. Because we are just that WILD \o/
But apart from that we just stayed indoors. Mostly in the living room; three on the couch, one on the armchair and one on cushions on the floor. That was our headquarters. Well, we'd migrate to my bed every now and then when my DVD player would act up in the living room but that's pretty much all the movement we did all weekend lol
We watched a lot of telly - catching bits and pieces of different programs - and some specific stuff. We started with Being Human then moved onto films. The first one was stressfull and depressing - albeit gorgeous - and it's a good thing we started with that one because, wow, not exactly light material. I'm talking about Enduring Love, for those reading this.
Then we watched Boy Culture which is a film you should all watch because a) queer film b) very sexy story c) very gorgeous characters d) adorable storyline e) funny moments f) hot scenes and g) see a b c d e and f.
To prove how great Boy Culture was; throughout the whole week-end and even when we were watching tv, we would always pass Charlie around - sounds dirty, eh? - and always go on-line, check our mails, look for stuff we wanted to share with the others. Boy Culture began and we were still going on-line then suddenly Charlie was put aside because there was no way we wanted to risk losing a minute of it. That's how good it was!
Because the internet is All Kinds of Awesome, we downloaded Stardust and watched it too...
On Sunday, we got up a bit late - well, Jem and I went to bed at 6.00 AM on Thursday, then we all met Morpheus at 3.30 AM the rest of the days, so... - and left the house, as I said earlier.
And once back home we watched High School Musical - which was so funny! - and Mean Girls. Yes, with Lindsay Lohan. Well, dude, I really enjoyed that film. Very funny and cute.
And of course we chatted and goofed around and talked about LJ and fandom and slash and the mysteries of the universe and shared links and just did what fangirls do ;-) Oh and we ate. A lot. A lot of junk food too. I'm totally eating salad all week!
Jem posted some pics, including two of my fridge. Why do I love my fridge? - Because it's slashy and it has dirty scrabble/crosswords on it:
The front of the fridge hasn't changed - I love it way too much:

And now there's the improved side:

Also yes, QI is IQ, just in French. And I'm one 'z' short... I need to buy a new batch of letters.

Date: 2008-04-22 05:08 pm (UTC)I vaguely remember hearing about Stardust when it came out (last year?), but didn't pay proper attention to it. So after reading Rosie's post about the films, I looked it up, and I tell you, even after reading the Wikipedia article setting out the story more than once, I'm still confused! I think I'll continue to stick with nice bleak dramas that I can understand, thank you very much!
Sounds like you all had a lovely weekend, though! But I'm shocked. Only ONE trip to Starbucks? How is that even possible? ;-)

Date: 2008-04-22 08:19 pm (UTC)Boy Culture, you say? *makes note to check it out*
I watched Stardust not long ago (read the book and then watched the movie immediately afterwards) and I really like it. It's shiny.
And oh, High School Musical, my guilty pleasure. In my defense, I only watched it because someone told me HSM 2 was very slashy...and it totally is, too. ;)
Also, your fridge does, indeed, kick ass.

Je suis bien contente que Jem nous ai fait découvrir cette BD parce qu'elle est vraiment géniale.

What did Wikipedia say about Stardust? Because it's definitely not a confusing story at all. It's basically a fairytale too, so it's a pretty and shiny story. Mind you, I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman, so I might be biased, but still...
Lol Yeah, I know, only ONE trip to Starbucks - shocking, eh? I guess we were experimenting or something :-)
