Yvi

Oh, lordy. Excerpt from a recent conversation with a fellow geek and fangirl from Real Life, hereafter Sveta. Concerns The 300, House, and the power of pizza.

Sveta: and the four horsepeople ride!
Yvi: ...to Thermopylae!
Yvi: I remember learning about that battle in Classics 101.
Sveta: for bagels!
Sveta: ha! me too! good ol classics 101
Yvi: I was really tired and kept writing notes to stay awake and when I read them later they were so nonsensical.
Yvi: I think I must have wanted pizza because I wrote something about how the Spartans distracted Xerxes by ordering some.
Sveta: aw man, I wish they had put that into the movie...
Yvi: deathdeathdeathdeath...oooh, pepperoni!
Sveta: i seem to remember a battle in which someone accidently let a cooking pit fire get out of hand and thus smoked out the entire persian army...i think athens did it. they did all the dumb stuff.
Yvi: "Quick, men, while they're busy with the breadsticks!"
Sveta: chaaaaaaaaaar---oh wait, who ordered sausage?? I dont like sausage...
Yvi: Hee. I don't care if Hitler liked them, too, the Spartans were way cooler.
Yvi: "That's not what you said last night!"
Yvi: They treated their women mcuh better, too.
Sveta: oooooooh and suddenly its slash!
Yvi: much*
Sveta: its true, I vote for sparta
Yvi: With pizza. Dude, I just wrote slash surrounding some pointedly ordered pizza, too.
Sveta: orly>?
Yvi: Yeah, at the end of the last House his best friend/gay lover says he should get out more by doing something like getting pizza with a friend and then proceeds to gesture pointedly to himself.
Yvi: If that ain't a booty call, I don't know what is. There was a lot of post-ep fic for that one.
Sveta: hahahahaha
Sveta: wow
Sveta: you House fans rock

I haven't actually seen this movie, but apparently it's worth a look. And Sveta tossed me a challenge on Facebook to write Leonidas/Xerxes, which sounds worthy. Once I actually get my brain back and all.

Yvi: Seriously, read The Persian Boy. Told from the POV of a eunuch who services Alexander the Great.
Yvi: ...I totally almost clarified that the eunuch is Persian. DUH.
