I slept 4 and a half hours last night

[guanin]

Went to bed at 3, an hour past my bedtime, woke up at 8:30 and knew I wasn't going to fall back to sleep. Yet I don't feel sleepy, just tired. And even though I feel tired, I have this weird energy.

I had a presentation today and managed to not have my heart thumping the whole time. I skipped half the stuff I was going to say, like I always do, but I had my personal experience to fall back on, so it was cool. It always gives you an extra cred to talk about elections you actually witness versus just read about in a book (the 2000 Mexican elections, by the way).

Maybe it was becuase I was so brain dead this morning (still am, kinda), but when I saw the new Milo picture with his tiny, tiny hair (though it is longer in the front than in the back, but of course, that has to be one of the new fads that I don't like. And I know it's just me, but the shape of his face looks different. What is it about hair that changes my whole perception of people's faces? I do not understand myself). Anyway, that was followed by the Zachary Quinto GQ pictures. The first thought that flashed in my mind was, "Hair!" I've always found him hot anyway though I'm not a fangirl, but there was so much sheer joy in that thought. I crack myself up so much sometimes.

Watchmen today. *bounces* It will be the first time 've gone to the movies here ever. The student discount price at the nearest theatre is 8.50. *cries* The further away theatres are 10.50. *cries some more* I don't know what I'm going to do when the summer blockbuster come around. I'm seriously considering going back home after the degree just because everything is so expensive. There's no rent or internet to pay at my grandparents' house.

Urg. I don't like that look on him at all. It's just...urg. I mean in addition to the fact that I hate the shiny wet look. I think maybe if it wasn't so full of product he'd still have a little bit of bangs and it might not look so bad but...still. I'm hoping it grows out at least a little before they start filming again. Not as bad as S2 but...still. Urg.

Honestly? I kinda like it. It makes me wanna run my hand up the nape of his neck, where his hair the the shortest *dreams*

I lived in the UK some seven years ago, and the price of movie tickets really shocked me. I was at Essex Uni in Colchester, and they had a student movie club where they projected movies in the main auditorium and charged £ 1.00 a person. So that basically sustained my movie needs for those six months...

He looks horrible! And slicking it back just makes it worse. I want to dump some water over his head and wash all that product out and get at least some hair over his forehead. I can see there's something left. But I can't even bear looking at the back. I didn't realize just how attached I got to his hair until now. I didn't freak out this much when DA cut off his hair. But it was so perfect! Now I can barely look at him.

Hee. I have come to an understanding with the slicked-back hair he had when he was "dressing up" in S1 (for Nathan's campaign party thing, and for the deposition he never ended up giving) because it had some sort of structure to it, weird as it was. But nothing will ever make me like the greasy grosseness of every iteration of future!Peter we've seen. It's just wrong. He doesn't have the facial shape for it. But I guess we have to come around to the fact that Milo does not like the Peter!hair and clearly has no idea how he looks best.

I do not like men with short hair at all, except for some very rare exceptions and he is not one of them. Sorry. He doesn't have the face for it. I'm going to be mourning the loss of such perfect hair for a long time. I get very emotional when it comes to hair. It's this whole thing.

OMG, 1?! Well, student stuff is always cool. Though I'm amazed they have student discounts. Those don't exist in PR or Illinois. The rest of the UK isn't so bad from what I hear; it's just London. Someone told me that tickets where they're from (don't remember where) are 4. But this city is ridiculous with prices.

I don't mind that slicked back hair because I know all you have to do is ruffle his hair and there it is! And just seeing the length of it comforts me. It's seeing it short that makes me sad. The thing that most bugs me about future!Peter's appearance is that stupid scar. How the hell did he get that thing?! And in both futures? C'mon! He has no idea. Totally clueless. As is a certain other person I know (old crush guy. He keeps cutting it, too).

That icon seems very appropriate now. It's giving me weird Pirandellic RPS bunnies. Oh god. Hey, maybe the muse is back

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

It just seems icky to me. But then I imagine Claude making fun of him and ruffling it and maybe pulling at it a little while involved in...activities...and I don't hate it so much. I actually think the scar is interesting (in 5YG at least, where it makes sense) if he meaningfully kept it as a reminder of the explosion. Because I think that would take a hell of a lot of concentration and control. Aww, well. Maybe you should tell him? One of my fondest moments in high school came when a male friend of mine told me, while I was futzing with my hair and getting frustrated that certain strands never stayed where I wanted them to, that he liked it when it looked like that.

I know, especially with the hair factor :D I've gotten a lot of mileage from the icon, I have to say. And for some reason I'm blanking on what Pirandellic is.

When I see him like that with the suit on, I want to plonk a hat on his head and put him in a story where he's a mob boss's son, except that he'd always be fumbling the guns and embarrassing himself with an adorable, "huh?" look on his face.

I did tell him. He didn't cut it as short as he did the time before, but he keeps saying that if he grows it any longer, it'll start to curl up. Which is something I like.

Pirandellismo? Luigi Pirandello? Though Miguel de Unamuno was doing the same thing at the exact same time, so it's really unfair that it got named after the other guy. It's a literary term that I'm not sure how to define. Mm. Have you heard of Six Characters in Search of an Author? It's precisely what it sounds like. Six characters in a play mingle with the audience while trying to get someone to tell their story. In one of Unamuno's novels, he meets his main character. There's an old Spanish text from around the 16th century where the author "falls in love" with his character. Essentially, it's blurring the lines between the real world and the fiction world and it involves a lot of philosophizing about which is more real or valid and the nature of character. Cervantes also used the technique in Don Quijote. It's about one of my favorite things ever.

Hah. Oh Peter. The poor kid couldn't even get up the nerve to shoot a deer, I don't think he'd manage people. Worst mob kid ever.

Well, I guess none of us really do know how we look best. But it's weird how we get attached to certain aspects of other people's appearance. One of my friends always gets upset when I cut my hair.

Ah, I actually have heard of that, although I'd forgotten the name. It was brought up in the one proper college English class I've had, in the post-modernism unit. Although as you say, it's been around for quite a while.

Dad would no doubt send him far, far away as soon as possible and then deny that he ever existed.

I normally don't mind that much when my friends cut their hair, which is odd when you think about it, but this time it's really getting to me. I think the attraction had everything to do with it. Though there was this one time I didn't like it, but my friend didn't do it by choice. He was an extra in a movie and to fit the part he had to chop it off. He hated it. So I do know a guy who prefers it long.

You can't graduate from my high school without having heard of it at least twice over. Unamuno is one of the core authors for Spanish literature. He's also one of my favorites, though much more for his philosophy than anything else because so many of his views are exactly like mine that it's freaky.

I think that'd probably be the best thing that could happen to Peter in that situation. I kind of wish it had happened to Peter.

Well that's true. But sometimes it helps; I had this major, three year + crush on a guy, even through him having a girlfriend and going to school in Chicago, except that the winter he came back with this goatee type thing, it totally disappeared. We're friends now, but wow, do I hate the goatee. A lot of guys prefer it long, I think.

Heh, it's weird when that happens. When you're reading through Plato/Locke/Mill and you come across some idea and it's like, "Holy crap! I thought of that!" But I've yet to find a complete mind-twin in authors or philosophers. The closest I've come is one of my economics professors.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Get him away from that toxic family.

Wow. I've never had a crush for that long. I do like goatees on some guys, but it's tricky. It depends on what kind of face they have. Some chins are just not designed for goatees. I don't really have a crush on this guy anymore. It kinda waned, though every time I see him it spikes up again. He really is the hottest guy at uni. and is super nice. And talked to me about Heroes the other night at the pub while everyone else was focused on lagers versus ales and sports. And he's the only guy I know here who is single. But he's got a crush on someone else, which is totally unfair because she doesn't even live in the country.

There's a couple of little details that I disagree with, but mostly you could have sucked it straight out of my brain. Though his narrative style is completely different from mine.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Well now he kind of is. But I have a feeling it's not going to stick.

Mm, well, nothing to be proud of on my part. But what can I say? His family loved me. I loved his family. And he, well, we had a weird friendship with me being totally infatuated and him being totally oblivious and my total infatuating keeping me from pursuing or even considering anyone else. Crushes really shouldn't last that long, I'd rather be rejected, clearly and 100% and early, on if it's never going to happen. But I'm sure if he shaved again and kept his hair kind of floppy I'd probably start up with it again, in spite of myself. Crushes are odd things.

At least that must be comforting and keep it from being too freaky.
