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

Lyrics: national anthem / lana del rey

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.

Lyrics: i'm not okay (i promise) / my chemical romance

Watchng you walk I followed you there standing too close it's hurting I pictured the words the warmth of your breath I started the fire it's burning

oh and i have a title for my new story which i'm getting increasingly excited about :) i know a few things for definite

1. it's partly based around the iliad
2. the main character is called seren and she's a witch
3. ty and charlotte are involved
4. it's probably going to be heavier on the romance than the star books

eee i just want to write it

Lyrics: jealousy / will young

But when you walked out that door a piece of me died I told you I wanted more but that's not what I had in mind I just want it like before we were dancing all night then they took you away stole you out of my life you just need to remember

i've been thinking again about what i'll write when i'm done with the star books..it's definitely going to be based around the iliad, i just need to work out how which is going to be interesting

Lyrics: blue jeans / lana del rey

If this world is wearing thin and you're thinking of escape I'll go anywhere with you just wrap me up in chains but if you try to go alone don't think I'll understand stay with me stay with me

"Wife, all that you say is surely in my mind also. But I would feel terrible shame before the men of Troy and the women of Troy with their trailing dresses, if like a coward I skulk away from the fighting. Nor is that what my own heart urges, because I have learnt always to be brave and to fight in the forefront of the Trojans, winning great glory for my father and for myself. One thing I know well in my heart and in my mind: the day will come when sacred Ilios shall be destroyed, and Priam, and the people of Priam and the fine ash spear. But the pain I feel for the suffering to come is less for the people of Troy, less even for Hekabe and king Priam and my brothers, the many brave brothers who will fall in the dust at the hands of our enemies, than my pain for you, when one of the bronze-clad Achaians carries you away in tears and takes away the day of your freedom: and you will live in Argos, weaving at the loom at another woman's command, and carrying water from a foreign spring, from Messeis or Hypereia, much against your will, but compulsion will lie harsh upon you. And someone seeing you with your tears falling will say: 'This is the wife of Hektor, who was always the best warrior of the horse-taming Trojans, when they were fighting over Ilios.' That is what they will say: and for you there will be renewed misery, that you have lost such a husband to protect you from the day of slavery. But may I be dead and the heaped earth cover me, before I hear your screams and the sound of you being dragged away." - Hektor, The Iliad

Lyrics: stay / shakespears sister

At this moment you mean everything with you in that dress oh my thoughts I confess verge on dirty

i've been thinking about the next fictionpress story i'll write when the star books are finished..

at the moment, i think that it's going to focus partly on the legend of the trojan war because i read the iliad last year and i loved it it's such a good story even if it was a little hard to read

i just think that there is so much more to the story than the horse and paris and the face that launched a thousand ships..the portrayal of the gods in homer's poem is really interesting to read and there are side plots to the story that are nice as well and plus i'm sick of the portrayal i see of paris/helen as if their story was some great romance because the way i see it, after reading the iliad, it was far from it

i think that people need to forget that the movie 'troy' ever happened or at least acknowledge its inaccuracy..like briseis wasn't trojan, she was a slave and achilles probably didn't love her at all

it wouldn't be set in ancient troy btw..it'd be set in present day. i'm still working it out haha
