HEY NOW WHEN YOU GO "VIEW ANSWERS" IN A POLL THEY MAGICALLY APPEAR ON THE SAME PAGE. I would never have learned that if not for this poll.

i already told you, the underscore would drive you nuts.

bookshop March 5 2007, 05:51:01 UTC

that underscore could be all that stands between me and ultimate freedom.

arisato March 5 2007, 05:54:14 UTC

Or the underscore could be all that stands between you and orichisasunaru hurt/comfort fic.

bookshop March 5 2007, 05:59:00 UTC

Actually, my inability to get into Naruto no matter how hard I try is all that stands between me and orochisasunaru hurt/comfort fic. Because else Orochimaru/Sasuke dubious consent with Sasuke/Naruto hurt-comfort later on. Well. They gave him a snake tongue, for god's sakes. what else am i supposed to do with that.

Also, allow me to be totally frank for a moment here because Audrey Hepburn might be an amazing icon and all, but in recent years she's become so fetishized by mainstream "hip" culture that it's actually quite embarrassing to refer to something or someone as having a hepburn-esque quality.

Well, and also, it kind of baffles me that everyone automatically assumed the reference was solely to Audrey Hepburn when actually Kate is my own personal hero - and rather "hepburn-esque" always applies to them both equally to me. Katharine Hepburn will never go out of style. And neither will Audrey, but it distresses me to see her so overlooked.

See? I didn't even realize you were referring to Katharine, that's how entrenched "hepburn" has become with the Audrey Hepburn image. This may also be because all my friends are hipsters but it's become kind of the buzz-word for "don't look now but every other girl here is dressed almost exactly like you."

This is why I should go with some_pig! It would totally be the Ugly Betty of lj fashion.

some_pig is pretty adorable, but I don't know! What if you're sad and post a sad entry. Reading a sad entry from "some_pig" would be sort of weird. OR MAYBE NO ONE ELSE THINKS LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW.
