Yikes, it's been some time since I posted. I know I kept meaning to, but there you go. Is something... different? About LJ? I dunno, something just feels off to me ( Read more... )

so... yeah, procrastination ftw

Missed you! Not sure about LJ--maybe? They do things and I can never figure out what, exactly, they've done. The banner now sports camels?

I'm doing the same old same old, in increasingly invested manners. XD

Though now I'm curious about this cologne thing. Why do you ask? :)

Eh, if it has any bearing on anything, I'll figure it out; might just be that I haven't been on very much.

Cool, anything especially interesting?

Ah, yeah. The cologne thing... I warn you, this explanation is both ridiculous and unnecessarily long-winded:

Dunno if you're familiar with Tiger & Bunny, but it's a show that has a lot of product placement. It also has a lot of clearly-a-certain-real-thing-without-the-label placement. One thing fans like to do is identify and locate the real world-inspired item in, well, the real world. Something else fans like to do is snap up these items at an alarming rate. Seriously, I've heard of particular items being sold out from some websites within hours of a new episode being aired ( ... )

Wow. I am quite impressed by your doggedness in this! And by impressed I mean I LOVE YOU. <33333 And approve highly. I've actually never heard of Tiger & Bunny, but I'm rather fond of this idea of fannish product placement. I'd much prefer that to buying actual show-merchandise, if you know what I mean. And this cologne thing is definitely an epic journey. If it were me I'd certainly be in your boat here, too! I mean, DEFINITELY A MATTER OF PRIDE.

As for me, I recently visited fandom friends for a week in MN and it was glorious beyond gloriousness. <3333 And I would like to do it again forever and ever. And have people come visit me, too. Eeeeeeee!!

Haha, I'm glad that this sad show of mouthbreathing obsessiveness hasn't fogged over any respect you may have had for me XD

I'd definitely recommend Tiger & Bunny, it's a ton of fun and has an interesting take on "superhero registration", such as it is. Basically, heroes are all about marketing. Their exploits appear on television in their world as a points-and-ranking-based reality show and all of them are covered in sponsor labels (of real-world companies, hence the product placement). The main characters are Wild Tiger, kitty-bearded veteran hero who cares more about saving lives than about all the money his company has to dish out covering the damage he does to save lives (though he regrets that work keeps him from his daughter), and Barnaby Brooks, Jr (nicknamed Bunny by Tiger), the new star on the scene and only hero who doesn't bother with a secret identity (and whose dedication to the image side of the business seems a lot less shallow as more of his backstory is revealed). The two of them are made to work together when Bunny ( ... )

Cool, I hope your lasses are going well! My Wal*Mart started putting Halloween stuff up at the beginning of September, yeah; lots of cute socks that I've seen so far, but nothing I can't wait to go on clearance. It's too early to my way of thinking as well, but if people want to have a gigantic bag of candy they can't eat just sitting around the house...

Cool, how was the game? I know what you mean about playing to a point and then just sort of wandering away to get lost on the road of life. Although for me, I'll occasionally get this nagging, "what am I forgetting...?" kind of feeling until I get back to it XD

Hm... Send him a love letter telling him that you have his parents held hostage! It will be threatmantic! :D Or you could just mouthbreathe all over him at a con, yeah. Ask for a small clipping of his hair, bet he won't forget you then.

YAY, YOU'RE ALIVE. *_*

There is so much I can say but not enough time to say it all!

OMG, BITTY RAINBOW DASH *___* SO CUTE. I don't think I ever told you, but I blame you for my MLP: FiM mini-obsession. I was content to not care about it until all your posts (from approximately forever ago now) made me too curious to stay away. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT.

Even just knowing that there are things to say... I have no idea how this sentence should end. I've tried three times. Huh. Anyway, I suppose I'm glad to know that stuff is apparently happening!

Man, a lot of people have blamed ME for the pony addiction, when I wasn't the only one out there. :C
