Oy, my BRAIN.
Holy crap, how is it November 14th? Rhetorical question, but srsly that is madness. ANYWAY. I'm popping in to say hi because I haven't posted forever. I've fallen down the rabbit hole into the terrible horrible no good very bad truly awful abyss that is everything currently happening on The Walking Dead. Remember that time I promised myself I'd never get this involved in a storyline or love a character this much again? THAT WAS A GOOD TIME. And okay okay, I am still never going to love anyone as much as I love Renee, but Carol comes pretty close, and the last few weeks of being a tv consumer have sucked hardcore.
This entire experience has really made me wonder what it must be like to watch tv like a normal person -- to just turn it on, let it wash over you, turn it off, and leave. I don't know how people DO it. When I watch a character I love being destroyed, I have absolutely no idea how to let that go. I realize that the normal person response is something like, "Well, it's just tv," but see a thing is? It's not just tv. It's tv representing the horrible sexism the world is bathed in and I just . . . hate it.
OKAY THAT WAS REALLY DEPRESSING, SORRY. A couple good things:
1. I have an amazing new coat. No seriously, putting it on is like having a shoulder-to-knee hug.
2. It's been like 17 degrees for the past two nights:)
3. Right now I am totally not listening to "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Sarah McLachlan and the Barenaked Ladies except that I totally am.
4. wrisomifu is going so well that I actually wrote another TWD fic.
So what's going on with you guys? How's life?
