Scene:
trinityofone's Fables tutorial, a little after nine a.m.
Tutor: Let's talk about symbols. Say you have a candle. What does that represent?
trinityofone: A penis.
Student Who is NOT Batshit Insane: Light.
trinityofone's brain: No talking. Ever. Again.
Y'all wish you were in my class, doncha?
Also, GIP.
siriaeve makes the bestest icons, doesn't she? Yes.

Date: 2006-01-18 11:22 am (UTC)I feel so sorry for my tutors: either I'm trying to seduce them, or force them into early retirement. Or both.

Lamppost-->Narnia-->Tumnus-->Faunsex.

Date: 2006-01-18 11:29 am (UTC)...yeah. These days, in fandom that's practically lost the sexual overtones, but I doubt that's obvious to mundanes *g*

Have you ever read Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age? They can kind of do that.

Date: 2006-01-18 11:36 am (UTC)I'm terrible for thinking uncharitable things about the brainpower of my classmates during lectures and then realising that some of them have been vocalised (and in some cases, the lecturer is trying not to laugh) and everyone's looking at me. Oops?
Hee! My Mr Fantastic!Rodney icon was done by her too and it also fills me with glee.

*treasures it* 'Cause yeah--did I mention that this class is at 9 a.m.? I need, like, 11 hours of sleep every night--that is way too early for me. ;-)

Date: 2006-01-18 11:45 am (UTC)Yeah. The tutor just looked at me, and then she said, "Um. Does that mean quite the same thing in your country?"--meaning America. And I said, "No, in my country it's subtly different"--meaning fandom.
Or maybe we just blinked at each other for a few seconds and then ignored the entire incident.
I fail at Neal Stephenson reading. I fail at cyberpunk in general--it's like, "Whoa, two pages in and I'm already intensely confused!" *shame*

I'm both scarred for life and vastly amused.

I uh. May have said that in my outside voice before. A couple times. And I may have also involved their parentage (thankfully more of the Monty Python Hamster than actual wedlock etc) and maybe a few curses. Uh.
I have the social skills of Rodney more times than I care to admit too.
Yes - witness the all pervading GLEE! :g:
