Shakespeare Sonnet LXXXVIII
Oct. 9th, 2002 03:04 pmWhen thou shalt be disposed to set me light,
And place my merit in the eye of scorn,
Upon thy side against myself I'll fight,
And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.
With mine own weakness being best acquainted,
Upon thy part I can set down a story
Of faults conceal'd, wherein I am attainted,
That thou in losing me shalt win much glory:
And I by this will be a gainer too;
For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,
The injuries that to myself I do,
Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.
Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
And place my merit in the eye of scorn,
Upon thy side against myself I'll fight,
And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.
With mine own weakness being best acquainted,
Upon thy part I can set down a story
Of faults conceal'd, wherein I am attainted,
That thou in losing me shalt win much glory:
And I by this will be a gainer too;
For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,
The injuries that to myself I do,
Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.
Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
Okay, I went here and my own personal ones weren't so interesting, but the guys' made me laugh.
Lance is an answering machine that works in the rain, counts your loose change and can interface with your button-badge.
Justin is a hi-fi that looks bigger than it really is!
Chris is a jetpack that plays MP3s! It communicates with wireless devices and does away with household drudgery.
JC is a new type of vegetable that talks! It can be used as a metal detector and catalogues its contents.
Joey is like a normal shoe-shiner, but it detects explosives.
Christina is a riot shield that asks trivia questions, sounds better than it looks and glows at night.
Nick is a vacuum cleaner that spins about its axis! It folds out into a tent.
Howie is a rickshaw that swears! It is only visible under ultraviolet light and is programmed against harming humans.
Kevin is a bedside table that comes in seven different colours! It tells the time and looks bigger than it really is.
AJ is like a normal fridge magnet, but it communicates with other copies of itself.
Brian is a rubber fish! It recharges itself at night!
Britney is a laser-printer! It makes clicking noises!

Oct. 9th, 2002 06:37 pmOkay. Any time now, I'm going to start cleaning my room.
I've been thinking about watching Birds of Prey, but... meh, it's too Mary-Sue-ish for me.
Also, I think that part of the reason that I'm not watching Firefly is 'cause I only have room for one space drama at a time and Andromeda has me all booked up.
Besides, I love the science in Andromeda. And their view on time-travel works for me so much better than Trek's did. Most of the time, Andromeda doesn't even get near 'technobabble', instead being very rooted in real science. Which I like.
Okay. Room. To Clean.
Grr.

It has potential.
Much of that would be potential for slash-y fun between the ladies.
( spoiler-y )
Hmm. People seem to be saying that it gets worse as it goes on. What a shame.
