He says to 'be cool' but, I don't know how yet, wind in my hair, hand on the back of my neck, I said, can we party later on? He said yes, yes
only part of the film 'troy' i liked was the representation of the relationship between andromache and hektor

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means to be a joke and look another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look
i actually hate the film troy.
it's representation of the trojan war is all wrong, it's just completely and utterly wrong. and it really pisses me off when people use it as a reference point and do things like say they're 'quoting homer' for example, "Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."
this is not a quote from the original poem. there is no quote like this in the original poem. it just pisses me off because people think they're being clever, quoting homer, but they're not.
they're quoting brad pitt.

So lately been wondering who will be there to take my place when I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face if a great wave shall fall it would fall upon us all and between the sand and stone could you make it on your own
tomorrow is my day off and i can finally finish my notes on the emperors and just read them and read them and read them and read them until my exam which is next thursday and i don't know if i can pass haha my first classics exam is on the tuesday but i'm less bothered about it because it's the greek mythology bit and i understand literature much better
but we'll see i suppose
