Today i wore my black shirt with the indeterminate animal on the front. Kate said it's the most frightening thing she's ever seen.

Yay for a new Wishverse archive! (It made me sad when wishful thinking died.)

I was gonna try to write my Ethan fic tonight, but friends intervened. I think that's okay.

We agreed we would eat Fefe first if we were all stranded in a desert. And we watched a couple of the fanvids i have on my computer. We really must watch Firefly at some point.

ExpandThings i may or may not go to in the near future. Firely probably trumps anything. )

Skarda on my reader response: "Lovely in its detail to the end."

I explained RCFOS to Megan this afternoon. And referenced, as i so often do, "What If No One's Watching" (from imperfectly, my second favorite Ani album):

if my life were a movie
i would light a cigarette
and the smoke would curl around my face
everything i do would be interesting
i'd play the good guy
in every scene
but i always feel i have to
take a stand
and there's always someone on hand
to hate me for standing there
i always feel i have to open my mouth
and every time i do
i offend someone
somewhere

but what
what if no one's watching
what if when we're dead, we are just dead
what if there's no time to lose
what if there's things we gotta do
things that need to be said

you know i can't apologize
for everything i know
i mean you don't have to agree with me
but once you get me going
you better just let me go
we have to be able to criticize
what we love

say what we have to say
'cause if you're not trying to make something better
then as far as i can tell
you are just in the way


Kate was there, and we talked about dance some. Part of what i loved about the dance concert was seeing these people doing amazing things with their bodies and thinking, "Wow, the human body can do amazing beautiful things." Hearing about the damage dance does to your body makes me sad, and makes me really uncomfortable with enjoying watching dance. I understand pushing limits and good pain and stuff like that, but to make your body do things it isn't designed to and to be in constant pain? Strikes me as a bad thing. But then, i also just don't do pain well, as we all know.




Song lyrics people still haven't guessed (a couple of which i had expected to get guessed):

3. imagine if our world was blue and weightless
4. I crawled out of the world [For assistance, i'm adding: Can I make it right? Can I spend the night? Alone.]
6. starin' at the cracks in the walls, 'cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
7. it's true that I stole your lighter
8. and does your conscience ever mention the way that you treat me

Felicia came to entertain me in person.

Some offhand goofy comments (stemming from her belief that i aspire to be her, because our reader responses papers are on similar topics) led to an extensive speculation about my future life in which i move to Ohio to park illegally. I have 4 children -- Fluffy, Muffy, Buffy, Joanne (of course -- though apparently my having offspring frightens Fefe). I coach Buffy (isn't that a funny image) in soccer, and Buffy is male, and i suffer (near) death by soccer ball. I marry Emma (this is the part that frightened me -- and i was reminded of Allie's recoiling in horror at the idea of us dating) who's a bad influence on Muffy. And Joanne is normal and therefore refuses to believe we're her parents, so she goes to Oberlin to find Felicia, whom she believes is her real mother. (Felicia's teaching at Oberlin; that's why i moved to Ohio -- to follow her.)

[P.S. I would never suspect Emma of cheating on me! *smites Felicia*]

That was Meg's addition to my white board, and really, that really says it all, doesn't it?

Other amusement:
So, that guy who hands Richard the knife to slice open Doyle's head in the episode "The Bachelor Party"? Is apparently also the guy who sells me my newspaper in the morning for half-price and the guy I spent 20 minutes talking to every morning. Who would've thought?

Billy: "and now he's selling papers? that's kinda disheartening. hopefully selling papers is his passion and the Angel gig was a stepping stone."

Mostly, I'm amused.

hermionesviolin: (Felicia wishes she were gay)
I cleared off my white board, and Kate drew a stick figure and wrote “Elizabeth” next to it. Felcia came by and added: “needs to be flufferized ASAP” below “Elizabeth.” Kate and i have dirty minds.

So, um, Felicia’s universe has revolved around me (and Kate - her board, too, has been repeatedly decorated desecrated with fluffiness) recently. What’s up with that? Kate pointed out that probably she, like Cat, wishes she were gay.

I went down to Study Break and Felicia walked after me, saying “Fluffy” repeatedly. “You’re a freak,” i said. “At least I don’t write fanfic,” was her reply. No, fixation totally trumps fanfic in terms of freakishness.

“I just wanted to let you know that if I could get the lid off this marker, I would leave you a note.” -Felicia, hanging out outside my door for the umpteenth time.

In terms of me and “fluffy,” Cat mentioned "one of those really big white fluffy cats that'll claw your eyes out at any given moment" (from the cat food commercials) and Emma pointed out the obvious Harry Potter reference. Those are “fluffy” associations i am willing to claim.

Why did it take me so long to go visit the Michaelson Gallery? Note to self: visit often

"You're too practical" -Felicia, to me, at lunch. She continued to say that i should be more fluffy, by which apparently she means whimsical. Somehow not something i ever aspired to. Meg says i'm whimsical, which coming from her i don't take as an insult. This became a theme, recounted at dinner, and Anna said, "The idea of you being fluffy scares me."

I also talked about my Inklings class and C. S. Lewis and Surprised by Joy and my fury at the ending and in my recounting some of my initial fury came across and Emma said that was the first time she had ever seen me really angry. This seemed so odd to me, but then of course i realized that i tend not to get angry at my friends, so they're unlikely to see me angry. Allie and i have had heated discussions (often via LJ/AIM) but i'm not sure i've ever gotten really furious, either in print or in person. Hmm.

Kate and Laura introduced me and Cat to Foamy. Foamy's Rant II reminds me so much of my younger brother. (I e-mailed said brother and he replied: "that site is awesome, especially the rants.") I agree with Kate that the Amityville toaster was definitely the best of the ones we saw.

[And if you need more procrastination: Super Bowl ads]

Cat and i went upstairs to Felicia and Hilary's room and were cryptic and Felicia asked what we were up to and Cat said "sex" because that's her answer to everything (well that and potatoes) and then realized what she had said (and Cat is SO straight) and we started dying of laughter.

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. When did that happen? I think part of my problem is that the weather has been so gorgeous that it doesn't feel like that 'long dark teatime of the soul' period i associate with Lent. Should i give up angsting about people liking me for Lent?

My BtVS-verse femslash ficathon assignment worries me.

I'm still deciding how i feel about Stacey's new haircut.

via [livejournal.com profile] scrollgirl (via [livejournal.com profile] tzikeh): gaypants icons and the following quote

All American writing gives me the impression that Americans don't care for girls at all. What the American male really wants is two things: he wants to be blown by a stranger while reading a newspaper and he wants to be fucked by his buddy when he's drunk. Everything else is society.
-W. H. Auden, in The Table-Talk of W. H. Auden

P.S. Meg called me "hella cool" and "more than a little bit brilliant"
*dies*

And edit the second: #9 here is so cute. (And having read the book, i enjoy the Stardust icons.)
