Renewing Dork Hobbies
Jun. 5th, 2009 03:29 amI think I'm climbing up the dork ladder again.
My new guildmate and fellow mage, when we aren't theorycrafting mage crit rates, is recommending anime and telling me I have to watch it. So I'm downloading Death Note 1-37 as we speak. This conversation has gone on for half an hour or more. We already busted out various anime themes and titles, and what we own on DVD. Hence the musical choice. (I still <3 you Hotohori.)

Nov. 24th, 2008 04:52 amI meant to say something here, but that was nearly an hour and a half ago. I got caught up reading Cleolinda's Movie in 15 Minutes: Twilight and about died laughing. All of you Twilight fans and anti-fans, go take a look, it's hilarious.
Anyhow. I had meant to write about some of the more recent stuff going on here, but I was happily distracted finding and reading the Twlight thing. I did get a chance to talk to Curtis, and then Justin a bit later though, since Decky flaked out on me a few days ago and hasn't bothered to try to get in touch with me since. I've had some stuff on my mind the last few days and very few people to talk about it with.
Suffice to say, karma feels like it's rearing its ugly head again.
Of course there's more to it. I just haven't said anything about it. When I wake up, maybe.

So, I finished the Twilight series. And they aren't that bad, the writing wasn't spectacular, the intense love at first sight thing a bit too much, even for the sake of the story, and some of it was a bit contrived... Now that I think on it, the first person view, the fact that all the boys seem to want the main character, the clumsy, self deprecating main character from a somewhat broken home, the fact that said main character also not only has a penchant for over theatrics, but that she repeatedly stupidly throws herself into danger to save the day, sorta reminds me of either Usagi of Sailormoon or some of the less Sue-ish self insertion fanfic authors. The ending was rather anticlimatic for the last book, and that was a little annoying, but I suppose I've being a bit over critical. The books read rather fast, there weren't a lot of attempts at subterfuge, and very, very little came off as surprising throughout all of the novels. But, on the other hand, they were entertaining, and let's face it, when it comes down to it, I love a little bit of the forbidden love aspect. I'm a sucker for it, in fact.
The only other disturbing fact I notice, having read the books, is now I want to RP some vampirey goodness, or some forbidden love, or something like that. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to do this with. AND. I don't really want to add to atrocious Twilight fanfics that I'm sure are cropping up like the plague all over the internet. Don't get me wrong, I've written atrocious fanfiction, I like -some- fanfiction... but it looks like the majority of the people who are fangirls of the series are probably 14 or something and chances are, can't write for shit. Huzzah. I don't want to be a fangirl. I will not write fanfiction.
Ugh. I almost miss my old VTM days on IRC. Who am I kidding, I really do miss the old VTM days... I miss the old school, elitest whore RP I used to do. Damn everyone for scattering to the winds for no discernable reason.
So, I'm chilling at my sister's place for the moment. Prolly going home on Tuesday. Well, I have to go home on Tuesday, I see Regen that day, so, have to bus back up to Seattle.
It's September. I can't believe it's September. The year feels almost over. Halloween is near, and then it's just a tumble into the end of the year holidays. Which seems so odd it's hard to describe. Time seems to move so fast now, I wonder if this is just a symptom of growing older. I could do without it. I'll be 30 forever and alone. I do not thrill at this idea.
Being crazy definitely has some downsides.
PS: Murphy is crazy, too. I can't wait to have my emo parrot back.
PS pt2: Stephanie Meyer thanks Muse in her books, and acknowledges them as well. It doesn't surprise me that she would be listening to something like -Muse- to write those books.

My day's gonna be all out of sorts now. I shot myself with a baretta at the end of the last dream I had. Dream self recalled that "well, at least it didn't hurt." I remember my dad being there, and a few other people, like being in a gym at school. I remember also when they were trying to calm me down, that I told them to just fix it already.
I'm gonna be all out of sorts today.
