This is really freaking me out. Ack!! The stage play! For His Dark Materials!! ACK!! LYRA AND WILL AT THE TREE :(( I think if by some trick of weirdness someone made an H/D play I would so bawl my eyes out. And I never do that. OMG WILL AND LYRA :(( I AM STILL UPSET ABOUT THAT ENDING :(((( ...(*is hormonal right now, thankyouverymuch*)

Also, gacked from addictedkitten & hackthis & etc:
"I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal."

Mind you, I don't have a highly interactive flist, so I'm not holding my breath. That said, I love to be surprised~:))

I am wearing black underwear with silver stars. I just bought them. They make me very happy.

hm. stuff. okay.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Hm. My name is Ash. I think you defriended me, not that I can whine about anyone not wanting to be subjected to my inane babble all the time. ;) I friended you 'cause you were interesting. And I am getting kittens today. :)

Re: hm. stuff. okay.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

KITTENS!! >:D :D

...there can never be enough kittens~:))



or ponies, but we just won't get into that -.-

[layha.livejournal.com]

I'm Lexa and I play four instruments: violin, piano, drums, and guitar.
I'm pretty indifferent to spinach.
And I'm in love with you.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥♥♥!! :D

I eat tuna fish with mustard, and I am having a tuna fish sandwich right now.

The first fic I ever wrote was Sweet Valley Twins, in second grade.

[seren-himitsu.livejournal.com]

I actually do like spinach.

[shatterglass.livejournal.com]

I live in Pennsylvania, but I want to be in France.

Sorry I can't think of something more profound, but really, a PLAY? HOW CAN THEY? I wonder if it's any good.

[celestialfray.livejournal.com]

L.J. Smith was my first fandom ever. I actually wrote fanfic for it. (Not that any of it will ever see the light of day). I was very young back then.


Besides dead fish, I have issues with seafood. Especially crawfish, lobster, shrimp, or crabs. I can't even touch them. They're just like really big bugs to me (and technically I'm pretty sure they're biologically related to insects.)

[mark356.livejournal.com]

A reason I might not reply to your posts too often is that I have a big friends list, so when I see anything longer than a page (cut or not) I'll open it into a new window and get back to it after I've read the other hundred posts or however many it is. I usually have about twelve windows open by the end, and I often don't have the energy to reply to them; for yours, the ones I don't reply to, I think, "This is brilliant and interesting and worth thinking about if I felt like it."

Also, I love Romaine lettuce with vinegar.

I enjoy reading angst.

But for some reason, I cannot bring myself to read subtexty and surreal angst where I have to infer and imagine. This is the stuff that everyone describes as heart wrenching and beautiful. Most of the time I can't undestand it. It sounds so poetic and lovely, but I find myself skimming through them, wondering what exactly makes people hold their breath.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean, man :>
Though I think most definitely, I've been guilty of this at times. I think it's a part of that showing-vs-telling thing, too. You're not showing, really, if you're making the reader do the work. It's so nice to be so caught up in the story you can't help but be carried away into wherever it wants to take you. Mmmmmmm, I'm inspiring myself to read the last chapter of `Drawing Down the Moon' now :>

...you asked...

[sternel.livejournal.com]

... i went to suny-b, majored in german, and then discovered it wasn't really what i wanted to do with my life. so now i'm back in school but at SB because it's cheaper to live at home. graciana told me to read your journal because it impressed her. i like spinach, but not the kind dickinson dining hall tries to pass off as real food. and i adore snarry with an unholy passion.

[thessamunga.livejournal.com]

Meta still confuses me. I wonder how I even passed high school.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Nah, man, I think it's just me. I make no sense most of the time-- and I wish people would call me on it. But usually it's like, "oh, she's speaking the secret language of the Egyptian mages which us mortals cannot comprehend". Everyone thinks differently, and my way isn't really any better than anyone else's. 'Cause duuuude, I barely got through High School myself. Had virtually no motivation or diligence enough to study. Am slacker and never do homework. Barely ever -went- to school. Am multiple-time drop-out. Most of the time, I confuse even myself ^^;

That said, I think I make more sense when actually talking to people instead of to myself :> :> Y'know. Er. Some people ~:)) People I like. *shuts up now*

[cellia.livejournal.com]

Hm. When I got to the end of the His Dark Materials I just laughed and laughed at what saved the universe, and thought "man, men can be so drippily sentimental." Very good books all in all though. Iorek. yes. Are there fantasy book rules that make it so that the girls are clever and sly and the boys are brave and suffer lots? And also the ending is usually bittersweet and not happy? Or maybe these are just the fantasy books I have stumbled upon.

Also: I love Batman with a scary passion.

Also: I am a bit drunk now from company Xmas party.

:D

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno what it is-- though somehow that rings true, about the slyness & the suffering, eheheh. I'm not sure about the unhappy endings... but yeah, I think. Bittersweet, but usually they don't just make me -that- enraged... 'cause of all the futility. Usually there's just some sense of... good-with-the-bad or something. Yeah, that was pretty sentimental... I don't like how it all worked out-- all that build-up as to the prophecy, and then I felt it kinda... went burp or something. I could feel the inevitable Lesson For The Ages building up. I think that's what pissed me off, 'cause I could see it coming from miles away and then it -happened- and you could tell it was supposed to be For The Best. URGH.

heeeeee. I think if I love anything with a scary passion, I burn out after a awhile. But I've loved a lot of lame things with some rather scary passion. Comics, like, a quarter of the time. OH MAN THE SANDMAN SERIES. And then Books of Magic. WAH. Not to mention rather more embarrassing things, like romance novels & Star Trek paperbacks. But it's all in the past now. Now I have H/D porn, which is just the most respectable hobby/lifestyle choice/horrific obsession evah.

Also, I've missed you, but that is mostly my fault~:)

[lazy-daze.livejournal.com]

You can have a random fact about me, although I'm probably not very interesting. and I'm rapidly running out of facts by answering all these memes. Although I have decided to try and answer everyone who posts it, so the people who post it late will get something like, uh, I have brown hair...:-? I have really long eyelashes. I don't really meed mascara. They are the only feature I really like about myself :))

[thallos.livejournal.com]

well, well, well i'm French, i very like cheese and i speak a very bad awkward English (what a cliché here ^^;;;)... and i lurk most of the time ^^;;;;

[ashjay.livejournal.com]

I always mean to reply to your posts, every single time. But then I go off and compose my arguments in my head and start arguing with myself and by the time I make it back to the computer I've usually decided that we're both right. *g*

Oh, and I'm doing something very scary and new (H/D, of course ;) and I have no idea why, but it seems to be taking over my life, and I've had another animation sitting finished on my hard drive for about two months now. This is all very typical of me, which is why I mention it.

Also, I friended you because you put so much of yourself into your posts, and I like that. Reading one of your posts is like having a friend call unexpectedly, laughingly tell me about their day, and then hang up before I remember to say hello. I like it.

Yes.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

!!! Dude!! I have been having all this angst about being too distant and not "real" enough and too intimidating & meta. *WEEPS* THANK YOU!! <333333333333333!!
I can't stand it when people think I "do" meta 'cause this is just what's on my mind & I'm just babbling & I can't stand being taken too seriously and wah!!1 :D :D So I was thinking of trying to be more "me" or more "real" here (whatever -that- would mean), so that I don't drive people batty with too much esoteric mumbo-jumbo & stuff (especially 'cause while this is a public journal, there are always those certain people I'd want to actually pay attention to me). So now I'm all !!!:D :D!! happy. Um. heee >:D

I always have a zillion half-finished projects on my hands, man. I'm excited about your H/D, naturally, eheheeh. Most of mine, I never finish, but generally I still like the feeling that I have something to look forward to. I'm sososo glad at least you don't think I'm boring/intimidating/obtuse/insane/etc :D :D :D *squeee!*

[pink-faerie.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU HAD DONE THIS FOR SOME REASON.

And I have tried to be so good about this meme! Weep!

Umm..

One of my favourite things ever is that moment right before falling asleep, where I'm warm and snuggly and daydreaming. Often I think "Good, I'm not alseep yet" every few minutes. But this is never the case with afternoon naps. Only bedtime sleep. If heaven is one moment played over and over for the rest of eternity, this would be my moment.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean, mmmm. That moment where one's so content it makes one's toes curl-- just, escaping everything and all angst so far away and all that matters is that today is over and it's warm :D :D
<3

I was thinking "I like Harry Potter"... but maybe not...

[emeraldstorms.livejournal.com]

Lets see. I actually do like spinach (with so much salt and butter I drown in it), but since that one's taken...

Lets stick with the food topic. I like my meat rare. As in pink/red, as in, like, still mooing. :D Completely random, but people remember things better that way, methinks.

I also like lurking around your LJ, cause your posts are so deep. I mean, I usually have to read through some of them twice for it to register. It's entertaining, in a way. And whenever I get what you're getting at, it makes me feel smarter!! er... I mean. Heh.
It actually does, though, since I know that most people in this fandom are older than me, and dude, it makes me feel leetle. Like a first grader hanging around with the sixth graders on the playground. But we're all here for the same reasons (well, at least one)so yeah. :D That's me in a nutshell.

[ztrin.livejournal.com]

I thought I answered this meme here but apparently not, so - I have a memory like a sieve, and cannot remember basic birthdays.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

hehe at least that's better than remembering a lot of things & doing didley squat anyway ^^;
heeee. that said, sometimes i forget words-- like tomato or something random-- and like. they're just not there. gone. and then it's back again. my mind likes to play games on me ^^; ~:))

[chresimos.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a highly interactive flist?

Hi, my name is Chresimos, I enjoy reading your rants. I think we are weirdly similar in various ways, so I find it strange to argue against you, because we are wildly different in others.

I prefer open dislike to secret dislike and indifference.

I have rebellious views which I keep secret. Heh. I am also black; I wonder if anyone knows this?

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I prefer open dislike & argumentativeness over secret dissent also~:) Although I'm bad with conflict & unless I feel comfortable with the person, I'll just meep & hide and stuff. Also wibble a lot. I don't mind disagreeing-- always agreeing can get boring & repetitive :>
Also, I am Russian (well, Russian Jewish, anyway), and most people don't know that, either~:))

And I don't keep many secrets at all.
