Life took me for a spin - but better late than never, I figure.
Yet more of what makes me very very happy indeed:
Epiphanies - those "ah hah!" moments, when you finally break through and see something for the first time, when you *get* it, when you can understand something you've never understood before.
Light and shadows - especially in the fall, when the beams fall at such low angles and everything is bathed in gold.
Surprise endings - when something you fear and dread turns out to be fine, or even good and positive.
Icons. I've always thought of them as jewelry or jewels - there to beautify and accentuate and hopefully illustrate and symbolize. When
probodie coined the term "iconarium" I had a burning desire to start a "museum" for Pros icons - preserve, collect, and display them ALL. If only... Was just thinking about picking out a few to use as examples, but it's too hard - just look
here at
crimson_37's, for example! Stunning. Wonderful!
and in the bandom world,
Life on the Murder Scene, an MCR documentary ... (if anyone is interested, you can see the trailer
here.) It's incredible. Yep. I love these guys, unironically
kalpurna. When I think I couldn't love them more, I fool myself...
The
Gerard/Frank Manifesto by
bexless which is a work of genius and magic.
