Cheap lolz, swashbuckling romance and essay crises

Jenny is a frighteningly bright Philosophy student, Tim is her flirtatious slacker of a flatmate. Come here to follow the life adventures of these two absolutely not stereotypical Cambridge students. You'll learn very little in the process, but I'll get better at watercolour.

Maltesers and Prejudice



According to Jenny, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a Tim who's been coerced into watching six hours of romantic BBC drama must be in want of Maltesers.

You just have to share Maltesers. They're so sharable it's like there's some kind of moral obligation to share them. Like, you're on the train and you think 'Should I open my bag of Maltesers now? Should I? If I do, I'm going to feel morally obliged to ask EVERYONE around if they want one! and then I'll end up with none! And if I don't ask everyone around, they'll all think I'm really rude! Oh no oh no oh no! I should have bought a Mars bar instead!'

This is the kind of dilemma that just kills me.

    Clem, I love this, as is indeed the case with all of your doodles! Nevertheless, how dare you give me a massive craving for the sweets that are so hard to find in Magdeburg :-( Looking forward to your next one...

    J'avoue, attendre les 6h de la mini-série* avant de tester l'eau, that's commitment!

    Tim, respect. He can come watch P&P with me any time he wants, no need to go after the first party (Capital, capital).
    Now I'm hitting on your character, how desperate am I?

    *Je pars du principe qu'il s'agit de la version de 1995, et non pas de l'adaptation qui contient beaucoup trop de Keira Knightley.

    He wouldn't be the first fictional character with whom I had a long and complicated relationship - mais ce serait le premier personnage de bande-dessinée!

    Regarde ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est silly mais ça m'a fait rire... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhfOBupJckg

    Je te tiens pour responsable de mon manque de productivité ce soir. Devine un peu ce que remplace une soirée de travail sur l'émergence des nations en Europe ; je te donne un indice : ça commence par P et ça finit dans la flotte.

    N'empêche, les valeurs rétrogrades de la société victorienne avaient tout de même un certain avantage.
    Comment exactement attirer l'empathie et le sacrifice chevaleresque de son crush sous prétexte que sa soeur est partie en vacances et a dormi dans la même chambre qu'un garçon? Aujourd'hui, il faut au moins que sa soeur ait tué l'ensemble de la famille à coup de machette, PUIS ait couché avec son promis dans un grand trip nécrophiliaque pour entraîner le même genre de réaction que Darcy. :p

    Quite. Et même si c'était le cas, dans cette société postmoderne et relativiste dans laquelle nous vivons, on dirait sans doute 'C'est son choix!' et Evelyne Thomas approuverait.
