"What's with the business formal? Are you being arraigned for something?"
just a few quick things:
1. i feel woefully inadequate right now, just at life. dnk. i is weird. after shameless self-analysis because this is the worst kind of soulsucking sad i have felt in a while, i think it is because people on my flist are doing fantastic things with their lives and i am so...not. squaringkarma is out doing things like meeting Chace Crawford and calling Bill Murray and dollsome and ninamazing have written spec scripts and are generally being awesome and getting fellowships and accolades (I'm sure) and I am just pleh. I've been trying to lose weight that doesn't want to be lost and I haven't written in a long time and my writing is a mess.
2. I don't know. I can appreciate his limitations and he does do really douchey things sometimes, but I like him as a character. I feel like he's sort of Sam Seaborn in space minus the wit. He's clumsy and bumbling with his decisions, and sometimes he really, really screws up, but at the end of the day, he's still just a kid whose parents had troubles which he semi blames himself for who is way, way too idealistic for the situation he finds himself in. i guess i just see myself in him? or how i would like to be, i guess? he tries to do the right thing, or what he thinks is the right thing, and i think that's admirable. i also really ship him and kara together, so. god only knows what that means, but my track record speaks for itself i suppose. erm, harry/hermione, anyone? carter/lucy? (sorry the capitalization and punctuation sort of devolved as we went along my thought process here, but at least everything's still spelled correctly!)
3. erm do not click if you are squicked by rpf? I would fandom secret this if i wasn't quite so lazy but off of her new album, i'd like to think the song "who'd have known" is about her and mark ronson. despite my hatred for his super hipsterness at times, they are bffs and the cutest. anyways. i've always felt weird about posting rpf on my lj because it's sort of like the one fandom thing that a lot of fandom is all *judgy judgy* against. sort of like if fandom were a city, it'd be like the red light district where if you dip your toe in everyone is all shocked and you're sort of blacklisted for a while. my main gripe is that practically no rpf exists. for mark ronson/lily allen or anyone else i vaguely want to read about. a lot of people say that it infringes on the privacy of those people, but i hardly think those people are going to find these stories and think that they're really true. i don't necessarily think it's offensive either - is it worse than the tabloids that are all "[celebrity] having a baby with [non!spouse]/cheating on [spouse]/taking drugs/beating children/sex tape/whatever"? i think public personas are different than their private selves and they're sort of "selling themselves" by way of identity, so why shouldn't that be snatched up if we snatch it up for everything else? i get why people are so tetchy about it but i think it's okay? not that my opinion means anything.
work tomorrow. and hanging out with friends on friday. yay! hope everyone is doing well. :)
