18th Birthday

[foolish_m0rtal]

Yay, it's my birthday today.

We went out to TGI Fridays, and I ate raspberry mousse. It was so ♥!

And I got freaked out when everyone in the world knew it was my birthday today, but then I realized it was because of Facebook.

Those would be...and in that case I can't talk what with the Araiel icon bouncing around... *snicker*

Death? No, Death's a girl. I said I like Despair (who's also rather obviously a girl. She's naked after all...and not exactly pretty...) The one who's BOTH is Desire. *snicker* He/She is just weird, though.

Oh really? heheh. Actually that's probably where Gaiman got the idea from, then. He ALWAYS does fantastic research for everything he writes... (And Dream DID create the Corinthian...) Puck later makes all sorts of references to the alternate menaings of his name "and I will not ask whether you get your name from the pillar, the lifestyle..." etc. But that's in number nine...

Explains. Yes. he leaves it to Paul because Paul's his bedwarmer, so to speak. (I like Paul, though.) book nine I really got to like him. he gets some of the BEST lines...
Rose: You're not some kind of pervert, are you?
Paul: My dear, I am the very BEST kind of pervert. I am, as the immortal Quentin put it, one of the stately homos of old England.
Rose: You're gay?
Paul: You know, I never really liked the word gay as a synonym to queer, reders a perfectly good word lost, but ah well...

And as for the two sisters who colelct spiders...ah, they're not sisters, either. *sweatdrop* Erm. Chantal and Zelda are lesbians. (And one of them has a really bad stutter and that's why she never speaks. I just can't remember which one, forgive me.) You see one of them again in book nine. *smile* And Hal, too. (The drag-queen landlord. *snicker*)
I loved Dolls House so much though, all those characters...they're just...memorable.
*sigh* Such a good series...

True. I too respect Gaiman a lot for doing research for his material. Like American Gods. If you're a mythology fan, you will freak out like I did. I love how he weaves all sorts of things in.

XXD You know, I must agree with Paul. I say this to my friends a lot, but I think they should have devised a different contemporary word. Preferably something classical, like what lesbian comes from. (I mean, the ancients were some of the most spectacular homos of all time!! Pay homage, neophytes!!)
I'm still looking for a better alternate word. Help?

I read the book. I freaked out. You'll freak out just as much when you read Sandman 4 "A Season of mists" that thing is MADE of awesome.

Pay homage eh? *grin* And yes, I agree with you. I can't watch 300 because I know the what the spartans REALLY were like, and it wasn't pretty.
See why I like Paul, though? I mean, he's pretty cool for a sixty-year-old gay guy who likes to fiddle around with the bloke whose dad imprisons Dream. He gets the BEST lines. ("The sins of the fathers, old boy, the sins of the fathers...")

*clap clap* Ok-ay!!!

I was actually thinking of using the word Apollan or Phoeban. Because he was pretty much THE gay god.

Do it!

Apollo, huh? You mean...other than Hermes? The guy who was characterized by pillars with his head and his...erm...nether regions put up at crossroads? I mean...what can you say? And his double-sexed kid with Aphrodite should at least say something (Supposedly there was a case in an ancient town where someone drunk went around and knocked all the "meat'n two-veg" bits off the poles and the government/religious temple-people of the time REALLY got mad at them...)
