Don't always need to know what it's all about

Yet another random update, brought to you by writer's block.

- Non-frivolous stuff first: R.I.P., David Halberstam. Summer of '49 was the first baseball book I ever read; my dad gave it to me and it had a lot to do with the real beginning of my life as a baseball fan, and it will always have a special place in my heart ( Read more... )

random, personal, baseball

I'm surprised he can even stand up straight, what with the crushing weight of his ERA

It's official. I fucking love you.

it's not quite enough for me to just be excited about something-I'm always compelled to share my excitement about it with other people

Depending on what the thing is, I'm very much like that, too. I find that certain things I like to just be *mine* though (because hi, I'm Willow, in case you didn't know). I think overall it's best to celebrate something with other people when you're all discovering it together.

I just realized something: maybe he's trying to make his ERA match his salary?

EXCELLENT POINT. Be warned, though, today I have the focus of a five-year-old on a sugar high. WOO.

Like what? Or would you rather not elaborate here? :)

Bwaha! MAYBE. Still, any reference to something being hindered by its own weight wins out with me simply because my favorite SN fic (where Dan mourns his turning 30) includes the line "the cake will sag with the weight of its candles" and I <3 that. (Isn't this important information you need to know? ISN'T IT?)

EVEN BETTER.

Like what? Or would you rather not elaborate here? :)Ha! You make it sound dirty. Well, come to think of it, I prefer not to share sex partners with my friends. You know, if I was there first and stuff. But usually it's music that I like having as just *mine*. And it's not like I listen to any bands that the rest of the world hasn't heard of, I just happen to love bands that most of my friends don't like or aren't really into (particularly 311 and Toad the Wet Sprocket, respectively). So it's fun going to a show by myself and feeling like the ( ... )

HEE. That is awesome, and yes, I totally needed to know it.

I prefer not to share sex partners with my friends.

Good to know! In college, I lived with my ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend for a while. But that's about as close as I've come to that.

So it's fun going to a show by myself and feeling like the experience is just mine.

Ah, interesting! I don't get quite as obsessive about music as I do with, say, books, but still, I would much rather go to a concert with someone else than by myself. (Movies, though, I'm fine with going by myself, and--as you've said--sometimes I even enjoy that more.) Interesting!

I knew you did. The actual fic, btw, ("Djibouti") is in the short but sweet fic recs section on my site (of which you are one of the four, CONGRATULATIONS.) Very much worth reading.

Ah, I can see books fitting this theme, yes yes. And it's not like I dislike when my friends are into my music (except when it's you. LEAVE MY MUSIC ALONE, WRETCH), I'm just perfectly fine having those bands/songs all to myself and I find a silver lining.

I will check that out! And aww, I am on your site! *beams*

LEAVE MY MUSIC ALONE, WRETCH

I DON'T WANT YOUR STOOPID MUSIC ANYWAY. *cries*

And I can tell you don't have it, as you're totally sucking at my music meme. (OOH, SNAP.)

PLEASE SEE ICON. (I think that we should play a game where every time I use this icon with you, we should all drink. It would be fun!)

Every day I realize anew that I am SO Kowalski in so many ways.

It would be fun and also make us drunk VERY QUICKLY.
