I've been fucking opinionated lately. I was all over some of my comms and my flist, blabbering about everything from unicorns to bisexuality to cinema and family and creative impulses. I'm not usually like this. I like to agree with people. I normally keep my more controversial thoughts to myself. My TMI journal, pale_exquisite , garnered an entry to the same last night, some ranting, complaining, and psychological poking that really could land me in hot water.
It's been a long time since I did a proper journal that wasn't a meme, but it's about time.
Good news, everyone!! My first Lounge Wizards universe story/my thinly-veiled Twilight protest is almost finished. I've been working on it for months, and I'm really making headway now. One of my friends suggested to me that I write a few shorties in the same vein, since tackling the Big Book has taken years of stops and starts. Things are looking up.
I've also been bogged deeply into the Sherlock Holmes fandom. Now, I was something of a fan of the 80's-90's TV series with Jeremy Brett because my friends were, and liked the Peter Cushing version of Hound of the Baskervilles. But ever since we saw the new movie on the day after Christmas, I've been pretty much smitten. I was afraid they'd do too much action, and not enough logic, but using Holmes' logic to drive the action . . . oh. I also have a total and utter stupid girly crush on Robert Downey Jr. now. I liked him in Iron Man, but it didn't stick until now. I've actually kind of liked him since HS, since he played in an utterly awful movie with James Spader, whom I liked at the time, as his little sidekick. Robert's appeal: It's his eyes. They're so dark and his lashes are so heavy. Also, he's got a fantastic body, head to toe, due to the fact that he does kung fu. He's so damn popular I hate myself for it a little.
I'm such a fickle bitch. I'm sure when the new MCR album comes out, I'll be all "OMG, Toro!" again. But I barely ever abandon a mancrush. I just literally add him to a deck of cards.
I'm card-reading today, speaking of. I'm in that mood, so if you would like one, go ahead and ask. No charge. I'll probably use my homemade deck, or, I'll pick one that reminds me of you. Just tell me afterwards if I got anything right.
I'm gonna have pictures of my recent clay work and of my apartment really soon.
