Especially because we did a bit of mythology in english class last year, and everybody was surprised that I knew everybody we covered. That was SO me! I'm always explaining mythological allusions to my friends, and I can never understand why they can't get it. But it's because they never had the chance to link it to something important to themselves...like, I'll remember the Xena ep along with the myth so it's easier to recall. But then I'll be like, "Psh, Ulysses SO owes Xena for that." Hehe. I'm LAME.
My favorite bit was when they retold myths and such. I absolutely love those, because it's funny how the writer's work Xena and Gabs into the centerfold. Go GirlPower! And Xena/Gabrielle subtext. ;) The only thing I liked about the later episodes was that Gabrielle seemed stronger and more independent, less of the innocent girly girl...it also changed the subtext relationship a bit. But it was weird how much her look changed...she was so pale and butch...
It works because her French makes it so that using cognates between both that and Spanish and English and Spanish, she can figure out the gist what I'm saying often I get what you mean. Except, I'm bad a deciphering Spanish...which is why I have to ask you to translate everything you type. LOL *facepalm*
HA! That's so 'bloody' cool, you used "best mate"...are you British/Aussie?
