My Celebrity Boyfriends

[artyartie]

Yeah, I should be working on my paper, but breaks are good. Besides, this is waaaaay too much fun. Heee!

grace_poppy found a fabulous Web site, Celebmatch. So I decided to see which of my objects of lust celebrity crushes were compatible with me.

Ioan Gruffudd: 85% physical compatability (whooo!), 94% emotional compatability (awwww), 15% intellectual compatibility (huh?) - So, we wouldn't have deep, meaningful conversations, but that's okay1 Total compatability = 65%

David Tennant - 33% physical, 94% emotional, 93% intellectual. I am so a companion! All we'd do is hold hands, but it would be totally cool and geeky. Total compatability =74%

Matthew McFayden - 85% physical, 11% emotional, 89% physical. So, it would kind of be a Darcy-ish dynamic going on, but I could handle that. Total compatability = 62%

Alan Rickman - 85% physical, 78% emotional, 65% intellectual. You think the intellectual compatability would be higher - I can totally bring on the snark! Total compatability = 76%

Ahh, now back to work - maybe.

That's okay! For a first year master's student, I actually have a very good start on my thesis - I'm studying sodomy during the Napoleonic War in the Royal Navy. I have a prospectus - which even won a prize, and embarassed a few professors in the process - and right now I'm working on my historiography. Next fall I'm going to Greenwich to study, if all goes to plan, and to do my primary source research up the river in Kew. I'm planning to defend in Spring '08 and then, well, get a job or a Ph.D. Wow, that sounds amazingly together - I'm sure it will fall apart at some point.

Thesis calling cards would be awesome! Mine would be just a bit interesting:

Random Person: "I think there's a typo on your card. Did you mean subtext?"

Me: "No, I really did mean buttsex."

Random Person: *walks away*

You made me laugh aloud. Good Artie! Pie for you!

Me: Um, wow! I've never heard of a thesis quite like that. *walks away in the manner of a random person, dazed*

Will you be spending the whole year in the UK? I went to grad school there, but up in Newcastle. Wow, so I didn't know you even had to start writing your master's thesis so early. I mean, I guess you aren't actually writing very much at this point, but just doing research? But still, I didn't know until the end of my first year what my subject would be. But my program was also arranged very differently from most.

*blush* What's in Kew for you? I know about Greenwich with naval... stuff, but I don't know about Kew. I don't know a lot of stuff, actually. I'll just shut up now. ;D

Kew has the National Archives and a good majority of the Admirality Documents. They also have pamplets, tracts, newspapers, and other goodies. And I heard there's a nice garden to walk around in, too. ;)

Oooh, what did you go to grad school for? I'll only be here for the fall semester, but I might come back for a PhD.

Right now, I am just in the research stage, but with the historiography, I suppose I am actually kinda writing it, which is cool.

Oh, how did your prospectus win a prize, and what prize was it?

[artyartie.livejournal.com]

It won the Admiral Eller Prize, which is an award our school has set up for a thesis in modern naval history. So I get my name on a plaque, a piece of paper, I'm sure, and $1,200 dollars next semester. I don't know exactly how/why they picked it, but evidently at the meeting where they decided on awards, there were quite a few inappropriate jokes made at the expense of our Aussie archaeology prof.
