Sort of coherent thoughts but mainly all-caps...

Weird things I do for obscure literary reasons:
When I write reminders on my hand, I always use red pen as a reference to Umbridge’s evil quill in the fifth Harry Potter book.
There are lockers in the foyer of the university Classics library because you aren’t allowed to take bags in, and I always use locker number 42 even though it is down the bottom and also right behind the door, so when people open it I get squashed behind...

Pip: How does having fifty-eight horses make you travel faster?
Harry: Well, they will travel at fifty-eight horse power, because there are fifty-eight horses. It is simple mathematics!
(pause)
Pip: It is WRONG mathematics.

As a side note, mildly freaked out by the new format of BBC iPlayer.
Jovial avuncular Suralan won’t be around for long, I’m sure.
“You are young, don’t try and pretend you know everything, because it’ll be embarrassing.” It sure will be, Suralan, and nothing you can say will prevent it from happening.

Woo! Bleak Expectations!
Sir Philip: While I and Pippa and Poppy grieved, my mother sank into a melancholy that grew worse each day...
Pip: Mama? Are you alright?
Mother: Quite alright thank you Pip, now run along.
Pip: But Mama... you have been sat in this cupboard for three days now!

Pip: No you're not! You're my mother!
Mother: I am not your mother, for I am a prettily patterned table cloth and my children are all naughty little napkins. Now leave me. I'm waiting for my husband to return... and he's a terribly dashing double-pleated curtain.
Pip: But Mama... Father is dead.
Mother: Yes, I might have quite a wait *manic laughter*
