thar she blows, the good ship Failboat

[sophistry]

I am - I am sort of relieved that the anonymeme that is going around has maxed out on comments. Because I was sort of thinking about doing it, and that, for me, is just... not a good idea. On the one hand, I have a more or less crippling fear of being talked about behind my back, so the temptation to invite people to come right the fuck out and say it is a strong one. But on the other, I am weak, and underneath my Crusty Exterior actually care a lot about what people think of me - and thus would no doubt be much better off holding onto my illusions. A sudden storm of brutal honesty would probably send me screaming for the hills, looking for a cave in which to hide and never come out.

On that note, though: LJ's IP logging doohickey is always off, here. If at any time you do have something to say, seriously, just do me a favour and get it over with. I'd rather know now than be paranoid about rumours later.

In all honesty the only thing I have a BURNING, BURNING NEED to tell you right now is that I have been staring at that icon for almost two minutes, waiting for the wings to pop out. It just -- what is he DOING with his HANDS if not preparing for takeoff?

[sophistry]

OH MY GOD, I KNOW, RIGHT? I saw it, and I think my eyes pretty much just bugged out of my head.

(Possible alternative: he is preparing to set things - possibly himself - ON FIRE.)

(Yeah, that's how I see it more than wings. Just. SUDDEN COMBUSTION IMMINENT.

Which, you know, is awesome.

--You know part of why I see it that way, I think? It is juuuuuust close enough to this.)

*also thinks it is AWESOME, points to icon* :D

I just have to tell you, my dear, dear darling, I think you're fantastic. I miss you deeply, and wish we could squee over stupid fandomy things together more often.

Also, Whenever I read my Lenore comic books, I think of you, and my heart misses you just that much more.

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:

Brain. Leaking out ears.

Also, that at some point you and I need to cook up something epic and delightful, because you're really good at this... everything... and I miss writing with you. And I write better when I'm writing off of you. SO THERE.

I think you're awesome, no anonymity required. ♥ I worry about you a lot, and I do wish I wasn't so scared of reaching out to you more since we, well, LIVE IN THE SAME CITY. Epic fail on my part. :/

I am surprising myself by not being chicken and going anonymous:

I want to make sure that you and I are okay. I know that's probably selfish or whatever, but I don't care -- I enjoy talking to you when I get the opportunity. If I am assuming too much, feel free to ignore, or call me out on being dramatastic, or whatever.

You're a neat chick, ladyperson. I know that like the back of my freaking hand, and I wish you the best out of everything.

What I have to say! Well, right now it's that I went to see Tropic Thunder and laughed my ass off. Granted, I had consumed a dangerous cocktail of caffeine, chocolate, movie popcorn and pure sugar, but oh my god it was funny. There were a few jokes that fell a little flat, but the majority did not and the few people there on a Wednesday evening were roaring. Even Tom Cruise was kind of awesome. RDJ does hopelessly confused well, and the actor he's playing is some kind of send-up of Russell Crowe (unless you can think of another famous Australian srs bsns actor with like 8 Oscars) which - well, I felt slightly pathetic for being like 'I think I've seen that interview' but he was so confused and fantastic. And my lurker friend I dragged along made a Prior Fell joke within the first 5 minutes, when... spoiler... augh. Anyway, it was funny. Not in the way that In Bruges was funny, but a good Wednesday evening, popcorn-flinging laugh.

And I hadn't listened to that 'Angel and Delilah' song that Jo sent me since the infamous FS post, but... I have now. >.> And holy crap it is midnight and I just got back and haven't washed my hair or done any of the work I promised the boss-boss I'd email her by morning or eaten anything besides sugar and popcorn. *runs*

Aaand I'll see you soon! \o/
