weialala leia!
So, I've realised an interesting fact about myself. Most of you will probably not be surprised.
When I enter a new fandom, or am rediscovering an old one, I attempt to connect it to Eliot somehow. Um, yes. While I was waiting to get sleepy last night, I paged through my Complete Eliot and decided that Angel (so far the most likely candidate for Elioting) might find certain passages of Ash-Wednesday and The Hollow Men rather apt. A bit of Rhapsody on a Windy Night, too. Um, yes. I have a feeling it is too late; therapy cannot do me any good now. (But just look at them, will you? I mean really.) And hey,

ressie_noldo and I decided once that the Weialala Leia are an alien race, but that's beside the point.
So, this is Banui's brain on, er, madness. Yes. Going away now.
(Stuff about Life later, maybe. I've been having a few days half-out of the world, which is nice, but I also feel about three times as absent-minded as usual, and I've always been terrifically absent-minded.)

Between the idea-- reminds me of Simon Tam rather a lot. Oh dear. I haven't really found anyone in any fandom who suits The Waste Land, although I can see River quoting:
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
A woman drew her long black hair out tightAnd most of you lot know that T.S. Eliot is Remus Lupin's favourite poet. (Shut up. He is. Look at Preludes! And Prufrock! They were practically written about him! And, um, I actually possess about half a draft of an entire Remus-fic based on Rhapsody on a Windy Night. Yes.) And that Four Quartets was written after Mr Eliot took a spin in the TARDIS (definitely post-Time War, because there are references all over the place). And
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall
And upside down in air were towers
Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

Ahh, every three months? I don't think I've written a poem in over two years. I don't know what's wrong with me; these past two years have flown by, and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I used to make graphics and write and do things, and now I don't really do anything but read things online and talk to people. I really need to go back to icon making. I always enjoyed that so much.
Ah! :P Actually I live in Florida. Which is better than California, I think. Cali still seems like it's out in the middle of nowhere, you know? Okay, so I'm obviously biased to the east coast, but you know. WE WERE DISCOVERED FIRST. XD Anyway, I might try calling you tomorrow (which would be Monday, later on in the afternoon/evening), if theater class doesn't drain my blood. xD
Oh! And I just emailed you the most epic email ever, with gigantic blocks of text that will probably make your eyes burn. ^_^ So if you get a minute, you should read it. XD
