Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[falseeeyelashes]

LOL!

I take it that's a good thing? Hee.

[thisisironic]

-ERROR-

user thisisironic can't respond because she's all dead and stuff.

[falseeeyelashes]

Haha!

That's what I like to hear, lol.

Listen, you need to stop writing things where I want to quote the entire goddamn piece.

I mean jesus. Babe, this is intense and full of bitterness and longing and that twist that we all get when we think we've got it, but we don't.

I'm in love with this. I really am.

[falseeeyelashes]

Haha! Just as soon as you do the same, friend &hearts

But thank you so much! I can't seem to get over how in love I am with this pairing and how much potential is there to write it as the messiest thing ever, haha.

ILU, bb!

Sure, they’ll speak of the grand things - the head placed before the guillotine, that far, far better place; Romeo, Juliet, and glamorized cyanide capsules; Antony, Cleopatra and her pet asp - and how incredible and all encompassing the power of love can be.

LOVE.

I see his name and I automatically think "mmmmmMcAvoy."

Really, though - this is brilliant.

[falseeeyelashes]

Thank you so much! &hearts

And SERIOUSLY! His name is just begging you to lust after him. It's that simple.

[arefadedaway]

Holy shit.

[falseeeyelashes]

LOL! Thank you, lovely!

Yay!

Disjointed praise:
01. The first passage is great, both because it reads like a journal entry and because it seems to fit her so well. She does appear to be maturing, as far as silm choices go (we'll ignore Domino).
02. I've watched a few of my friends do the listening-to-the-same-music, liking-the-same-movies thing with their signifigant others, and it is kind of scray how being in a relationship can excuse such terrible taste.
03. The scene with Sienna was hillarious.
04. My fav is probably the scene where Rupert's throwing things and she speaks down to him like the little boy that he clearly is. I know nothing about him, but I love that you write him like a spoiled brat.
05. This is Keira exactly the way I like to picture her; intelligent, workaholic and lovely in a way that's hard to describe.

[falseeeyelashes]

Haha! Thank you so much!

1. I'm glad that first passage came across that way! And I agree - Domino aside - her taste is movies has appeared to have grown in a far better direction, lol.
2. Oh, man, me too. And it's so disheartening. I mean, you can be with a guy even if the two of you have contrary tastes. Ugh.
3. Yay! I'm glad &hearts
4. Haha! I mean, I can just picture him being totally snotty and bratty and generally childish. And of course, it's fun to write him that way as well, haha.
5. I am so, so flattered to hear this. It's - clearly - the way I picture her as well, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
