I think they just glare quietly at each other now.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Actually, I think they make nice face-to-face and then roll their eyes forever and make little "What. Ev." handsigns behind each other's backs.

Yes, JZ, I think you've got it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Favorite Royals anecdote:
When William was filling out the ledger for Eton, he leaned over to his mum and asked, "What religion are we?"

They are British, after all. Restrained social freeze-outs when they meet at the same parties.
I imagine "Whee, we're married!" celebrations wouldn't look good on the day of a major funeral. Camilla's staying home, probably muttering nasty words under her breath.

I was just talking about this with my roommate. My guess was that, as a sort-of head of state (sub-head, maybe.... but more important than a vice president, to be sure), a major world event like a pope dying (which is like 9/11 or greater level in its world significance) is cause to postpone your wedding, I'd say.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Eton--unless he was applying to a stationery company. :)
Great anecdote, though--snerk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Charles and Camilla aren't having a big to-do, are they? I think it would just look a little tacky -- "WOO HOO! I mean, we're terribly sad about the Pope, but... WOO! WEDDED BLISS AND SHIT!!"
I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton. One of those things that was in books, but nsm conversation.
