( so. um.... i had to get the last dredges of ip mopeyness and lovers-lost angst and sadness out of my system. read at your own boredom :P )and then, i was ok, because
silviakundera wrote the most adorable
snippet of marcus/oliver i've ever seen (and admittedly i've seen v. v. few), and
dark_soul_lost wrote
yet more sweetness and so i'm all glowy, and "awwww" and "yeay" right now.
ahhhh, it's good to be a sentimental sap *grins*
and ...and.... and...
vanityfair says chapter 12 is up, so, so...
*grins wider* yummy. yummy "meant-to-be" h/d goodness! yeay...! *dances* feeling like i loff you all. heh~:)
i was actually going to write about um. my own limitations, with writing.
it seems even though my abilities let me, there are some things i can't see myself doing.
like. i'm halfway intrigued by the story i've seen (forgot the initial source already) linked to, in the news, about the guy in australia or wherever that got into an argument with his wife/gf and in his drunken state ran after her, outside, and cut off first his finger, then his balls, then his dick. erm. i don't know -why- this is Big News (although, as the whole bobbitt thing shows ya, nothing people like more than offed penii, i guess). they've rescued the appendages and put them in ice, if you're worried.
anyway. for some reason i can see myself writing a story, using that as plot.
except... i can't. i just-- can't. i so don't want to go there. yet i think it'd be good, that i can do it.
it bothers me that there's things i don't want to touch. even though i'm fine -hearing- about them, and i have no problem seeing documentaries and news reports and am actually fascinated by criminal investigation shows and messed-up-murderer shows, etc.... and it'd be a whole new direction for me--
i just ...
why would i want to? on the one hand, it'd be fun doing something so different, and letting my imagination play with it.
on the other hand, i find it utterly distasteful, and don't know that i have anything in particular to "say", except that i'll probably say it nicely or whatever.
i actually wrote one (count 'em, one) really messed-up, dark story in my life. ha, and in the end, the person being messed-up got to be reborn. *laughs* yeah it was like, supposed to be this baby still in the womb, and i had the idea that you remembered your past lives clearly, before you're born, and in fact relive them. but that was just a small plot-device, the point was, this female baby was a male pedophile and rapist before, and i just kinda went into several detailed scenes from different points in "his" life, talking about him abusing and him being abused, very graphically (for me back then, anyway. i was what, 15?) it was my favorite story for a long time, but i never showed it to many people, and for a long time, didn't show it to anyone. finally showed it to my mom (yes my mom is more pervy/as pervy as me, trust me.) well, no big reaction.
but that was it. usually i'll see something in the news-- or hear about something in "real life", and that's the only way i get to writing "gritty", dark stories.
every single time. i once wrote a
poem using a news story about this boy who'd hung himself with an amplifier cord, his parents downstairs, marilyn manson on repeat. that was back in the "manson is satan" craze. and then there was the poem i wrote about the desolation and emptiness in post-reunification east berlin, which was just-- ghost-town city back in '95. ``fuck off", the graffiti on the town-hall building said, and like. that really struck me, back then. i was so sheltered >_<;; i once began a story wanting to write about nyc homeless people's squats, in the Village. and that rapist story, from hearing someone i knew talk about being abused.
weird. the parts of me i try not to access. so it's weird to me, people willingly drowning themselves in this darkness. i mean, what's it like, writing that all the time? i'd be slitting my wrists like, two months in. because if i start-- i'd get graphic. death, pain, blood, cold, homelessness, abuse, murder-- they aren't pretty. they aren't romantic. they aren't all that beautiful. they pretty much suck.
anyway. y'all know my feelings 'bout that by now. so yeah.
thankies and huggles once again to all the soft fuzzy love-is-a-black-eye-and-i-like-it-babay, people. aww. you rock.
