Hello
#ClassicsTwitter
. I've set up a Red Bubble store where you can purchase female mythology inspired merchandise.
Get yourself a sticker, a mug, a t-shirt or some fabulous wall art.

Do you know how many times it's been expected of me to congratulate my friends for getting married or having a baby. Pure chance and luck.
I did this. With sheer willpower. Not 1 of them has said well done. No acknowledged effort.
Power to every woman who doesn't conform.

I've been learning for two years via Swansea uni (currently virtual classes) and duo lingo/say something. Moved to Wales from Manchester a few years ago and think you should learn the language of the country you choose to live. I also studied ancient languages at uni and love it.

Stood in a queue for coffee with my friend & she says 'what did you do yesterday? So I said absent-mindedly, 'ritual blood sacrifice' (obvs for my MA) but the man in front doesn't know this so when he turned to look at us, the look on his face was utterly confused & priceless. 😂

I've always been the sort of woman who can walk into a bar and sit on my own.
You'd be amazed how often I do it, to be confronted by another woman doing the same thing, and we'll recognise that fact and give each other the nod.
It's a glorious thing.

I'm working my way through the rape scenes (of which there are many) in Ovid's Metamorphoses, line/line, with painstaking care, the close reading is integral to my diss. Read this poem many times, but when you actually read these scenes carefully, some of them are intensely dark.

Oh yes, I was appalled that he thinks he can rock the Iliad out like some trophy to demonstrate his intelligence. 10 years I've been studying and I can't read it fluently. I'd have a modicum of respect if he'd taken the Greek text and w/out a dictionary, sensitively translated

Not even joking, the new Indiana Jones is my favourite one ever. It's got the Antikythera mechanism and time travel. They take a stab at speaking ancient greek. Bloody marvellous fun.

Been quiet this week I know.
In Jan 2016 I sat next to my friend Ken, on a park bench. I knew it would be the last time I would see him
He made me promise him I'd carry on with my studies. I said I would
On Monday, I finished my MA. Didn't realise how much it would mean

Men of the world - what possesses you.
Random bloke in pub 'I'd love to do you up against a wall'
He was 5"6 and skinny. I am 5"10 and I ain't skinny. Banging like, but not skinny.
Me: you've more chance of shagging a feather mate...

My next-door neighbours mum, who was looking after the dog, popped her head round the fence this afternoon, & said,'What you doin?'. So I said, 'gonna go for a walk', & she said 'great, we can walk together with the dog', & 3 hours later, I've had 2 pints. Terrifically random.

Getting a screenshot of a Eurostar from your best friend (who lives in Brussels), just let you know she's surprising you with a visit for your birthday is peak emotional. She said 'you've gone quiet'. (I am surprised). She said, 'there are people who will travel miles for you' ❤️

Because I live alone and spend vast swathes of time talking to myself, usually, but not always in my head, I find extended periods of time with people a lot.
I drove all the way back to Swansea, 5 hours, in total silence.
It was bloody great

Fairly certain I have been 'stood up' for want of a better term, on a friend meet-up. It's been 30 mins, and I don't think she's planning on turning up.
I wish generally bad karma on her, quite frankly. What a mean-spirited thing to do to a person. 🙄
I'm fine. I have cake.

What she brings. Everything.

Immeasurable.
Brilliant.
I would not be me without her.
I love her.

Without looking up at him, he proceeded to get into his car and flash his lights into my house for ten mins. I am now going to have to report him because that's intimidation, in my own home no less.

I had to vacate my house for some work being done. I went to one place, WiFi broken. Had a hot chocolate.
Went to a second place. WiFi isn't working. Had a hot chocolate.
So basically, I've negated my 6k run today, done nothing productive for 2 hours, but my laptop looks cool.

Normally, my mum doesn't speak to me if I'm working on anything academic, but she made an exception tonight because of me being rather ill (and rapidly getting worse by the hour). It was the little boost I needed.

In the space of 1.5 weeks, 2 of my line reports have found out they're being cheated on. So, two peps talks issued and one says, bet you'd deal with this without batting an eyelid
Last time I got hurt, I drank half a bottle of rum before lunch
Her: class - feel better now 🤣

I honestly think Happy Valley has been one of the finest pieces of television I have ever watched.
The performances of Sarah Lancashire and James Norton out of this world. Transfixing.

I just finished watching The Long Shadow.
I read somewhere in lockdown, I think, that once you lift the stone about this case and see the misogyny underneath, you can never unsee it.
It's a hard watch but superbly demonstrates what happened to women. Still happens to women.

Went surfing yesterday. Been this morning. I have found my outdoor thing. I bloody love it. I'm gonna have to work out a) where to buy a surfboard b) how to affix board to a convertible car and c) how to come out of the sea looking less like I've been washed up in a Shipwreck 😂

I've been sat, all day, furiously reading and scribbling notes and this guy in the campsite came back past and says 'I don't think I've seen you look up for more than 5 minutes all day until now!'
I am behind in my work, so sitting without distraction has been epic.

Sooooo, I don't have meetings this morning, so I didn't change my t-shirt as no one sees it.
Doorbell goes, and I answered it to be faced with a policeman, asking if I'd caught footage on my outdoor cam of someone stealing a motorbike.
I've never been more uncomfortable 🤣🤣

Considering it's Monday, and I still feel like death warmed up, I'm incredibly proud that I spent 45 minutes really wanting to tell someone they're a knob in a meeting, and I practiced incredible self-restraint and didn't.
As a reward, I'm getting chips.

I would like to thank my parents for bearing two people who almost physiologically cannot toe the line if we believe it to be unjust. It's fraught. I might be sleeping in a fucking tent in 12 weeks time, but at least I won't have allowed my soul or spirit to have been crushed.

As in the title hit me, and you've never seen anyone run around a house trying to locate a pen faster than I just did.

Brilliant reply. Honestly, I'd do this MA in a heartbeat if they offered it distance learning. I've listened to the fantastic 'Witch' podcast by India Rakusen on BBC Sounds twice already, and bought a swathe of fascinating books about magic, and, magic in the ancient world.
Hi Katharine I think you’ve misunderstood this article. It’s a history MA. This is one of the liveliest and richest areas of scholarship right now. It’s really impossible to understand large swathes of our past, some of it quite recent, without and understanding of the occult.

On the phone to Eli & she's traversing Belgian public transport so just randomly starts talking French.
So I said in her ear, 'think I almost fancy you a bit when you speak French' & she burst out laughing, then said 'I just lolled right in a conductors face, you knob!' 🤣🤣

In order that I don't get myself in any further trouble at work with my boss, for having a spine and an independent mind, I've just started throwing out odd big words that I know she'll have to Google.
Is it petty? Yes
Does she deserve it? Also, a big yes.

Anecdote from xmas that I was reminded of today. When I was out with my bro, a girl took a shine to him.
She looked me up and down and said,'& you are?'
He looked at me. Looked at her, burst out laughing, and said,'This is my sister Sarah, and you've just been blacklisted' 🤣🤣

My new friend Vic dropped me off earlier, & we'd been having a chat about being in your 30s & living alone. She said 'I think you're the most independent woman I've ever met - I thought I was, but no - its ace'.
Been told often by ppl that it's why I'm single.

So important, especially at this time of year, and in the current financial climate to remember that gifts don't have to cost a lot or anything at all
A hug is a gift
Your time is a gift
Love and friendship are gifts
They are the only ones you'll always remember anyway.

I'd like to say I'm amazed at the complete lack of history of UK & it's constituent nations, that children are actually taught in schools; but it's not & I know why.
As a result I spend time learning as much as I can independently.
