my brain feels bashed in

One of the best mishearings in a while happened during my last Statistics class. The lecturer was going through chi-square material for the final exam.

Lecturer: Hmm, yeah, okay, you'll need to know Cramer's Phi.
Me: (awakes from spacing out) Huh? 
.....
Me: (to James) What's the Famous Five?
James: Huh? What's Famous Five?
Me: She said we needed to remember the Famous Five.
James: (flips textbook confusedly) But there isn't anything called the Famous Five...
Joyce: (enters conversation) Why do you two look so confused?
Me: What's the Famous Five?
Joyce: Huh?
.......
Joyce: ...do you mean 'Cramer's Phi'? 
Me: ....OH!!!!11!!
James: Huh? Cramer's pie?
Joyce: OMG you two. One Famous Five, one Cramer's pie. What, you think this is Enid Blyton? Something to eat? OMG. OMGGGGG.

And here I thought statisticians were being cool by naming their mathematical steps after 'Famous Five'...associating themselves with a famous theme to capture attention or help people remember...you know, like newspaper headlines being Oh Fredo. You break my heart. Evidently not, though. :|

Hi everybody. Good luck to all the ill-lucked people having finals along with me ;___;

.....I have a massive urge to write epic KyuHyuk. 10,000 words. Or something. It's been so long since I've written something above 10k a;sldkj;aslkj /fingers getting itchy

I also expect that I will be the only reader of my 10k KyuHyuk ;__;

I would read your 10k KyuHyuk, because I just love the way that is actually just one alphabet from 'KyuHyun'. :D

And lol at mishearings \o/

I hold you to that then ;) Hey, KyuHyuk is so awesome that even their namesquish is awesome, okay.

[identity profile] htenywg.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You may hold me to that, because I definitely will fulfill it. Always on the lookout for fic to read, nowadays :D

i hope i get to experience many of your famous mishearing when i'm there LOL.

I'LL READ YOUR KYUHYUK.

why is it you always want to write long fics of the most-hated pairings...lol

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
IKR. WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND HATED PAIRINGS.

See, this is why I will never be popular. I can never write the cool pairings, apparently XD

LIES. STOP DENYING YOUR BNF-ERY.

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
MY PSEUDO-BNF DAYS ARE LONG OVER, BB.

[identity profile] htenywg.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
RUBBISH. SOMEBODY'S FIC GOT TWO PAGES OF COMMENTS IN 24 HOURS. HMM? NOT A BNF? DON'T LIE. :P

THIS IS CREEPY. WHY ARE YOU SOUNDING LIKE TRIV.

[identity profile] htenywg.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear. It might have something to do with the fact that I've been having dinner with her for about 2 weeks :/

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That reminds me. I think she said her exams end first week of May. I end on April 30th. Let's do something after that.

[identity profile] htenywg.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine end 4th May, I think hers end on Wednesday actually. 28th April. If I'm not wrong.

...yeaaaaaah we should except I'll be running around like a mad chicken /o\

[identity profile] where-wordsfail.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
she and i just went down fanfiction-nostalgia-road and...SHE WAS A BNF IN ALEC/VICKI FANFIC FANDOM TOO WAY BACK IN LIKE 2001 OMG.

she's just born to be a bnf. it's inevitable.

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG THINKING ABOUT IT NOW IT'S HILARIOUS. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW I WAS LIKE 13, AND MY FICS WENT BEYOND SUCKAGE. TOTALLY BADFIC.

...If I posted those fics now under K-pop, I would get hated on to the next life, no kidding. XD

[identity profile] htenywg.livejournal.com 2010-04-26 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
BNF-er is clearly a genetic trait. -nods sagely-

YOU CAN DENY IT NO LONGER, GEM. STOP HIDING. COME OUT AND EMBRACE YOUR TRUE IDENTITY. you could be the next Xiaxue 8D

it's very interesting cause i've been having a discussion about fic with my RL friend (who neither reads nor writes fic) on my LJ, she thinks badfic necessarily begets flames... but we all know that is absolutely not the case.

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-27 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
THE NEXT XIAXUE. DIES. What shall I call myself? Xiayu?

That is very true. It's the good writers who get hated on all the time, and by that I am baffled.

10k KyuHyuk??! Count me in as a reader, omg. ;ooo; I am patiently waiting, ever since 'Trace' I've been desperate for a long KyuHyuk fic. <3

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And I am desperate to write KyuHyuk, if only the hopes that it will alleviate some of the craving I have for it, rofl. How sad am I that when I rewatched Intimate Note today, I almost spazzed out when Hyuk caught hold of Kyu's arm when they were laughing ;___;

LOL You are not alone, Gem. It's nice to know you have company in your l33t hearing skillz. XD

I expect that you are very wrong.

[identity profile] catskilt.livejournal.com 2010-04-27 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
If only I had company more often, the world would be a happier place :D

On the contrary, I am very right :|
