hmmmmm
One thing I'm surprised about regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement is how...quiet everyone was about the end of it.
I mean, yes. Peaceful protest is ended with a display of brute force by the government. (Read that, btw.) It's the classic cycle. But there was just this air of...submission to it. Like people were waiting to be stamped down.
Not that I think there should have been any sort of retaliation by the protesters. I guess the thing is that there was no one direction to the movement, except 'we are going to stand here and express that a lot of us are very unhappy with shit that's happening', so it wasn't really something that could have carried over into other methods of expression.
I know it's not really my place to question what happened, because I am not at all that sort of activist, I don't have the guts for it. I am the ambush-privileged-people-in-unexpected-places-and-talk-their-ear-off kind of activist (that makes me sound kind of weaponized, lmfao). I'm just wondering what happened.
ANYWAYS, something completely else: dakfire and I did another brief Sherlock phone-text RP I thought I would share. I got her text sometime yesterday but didn't respond to it until um. 4 AM. LMFAO. These are the risks of associating with me? I've made a few minor edits (mostly my own spelling, for realism, because Sherlock doesn't have fat stubby fingers like me; and to add his signature since I got distracted and kept forgetting it; also Paige's typos for understanding)
SHERLOCK!!!! Why didn't you tell me you were a natural red head?!
What has Mycroft told you????
-SH
No...I Found your hair dye, and the pictures...
Fine...I just get to hear enough about my soul without the ginger jokes, as well. It was distracting.
-SH
your not a ginger, your pale yes but that is because you don't get enough sun, but you dont have any freckles.
Well freckles that I can see
Very good John, your skills of deduction clearly rival those of my college peers.
-SH
And no, I do not have freckles anywhere you can't see, either.
-SH
No need to be snarky, im just excited about this is all
What on earth is there to be excited over?
-SH
Sher, I found your notebook while trying to clean a path to the bathroom, you know the one with all your notes on my habbits
Put that down immediately
-SH
I found it months ago, I am pretty curious about the fetish page though, spot on about the red hair, but really you think I like shoulders?
JOHN, that was an invasion of my privacy
-SH
You frequently touch the shoulders of those women you bring home, and I've seen your pupils when Lestrade wears that shirt that shows his off
-SH
Well I had to make sure the notebook was important. Would you rather I threw it away.
And by the way, an invasion of YOUR privacy?
The solution here is to simply stop tossing out my things
-SH
Oh so we're just going to ignore the fact that you have a list of my 'fetishes'?
I was simply getting to know you. We live together, it seemed prudent.
-SH
Sherlock, you didn't really think I would jump you or something if you wore a shirt showing off those shoulders did you?
Of course not, you have made it abundantly clear that you have no interest in me.
-SH
Also, I only added the shoulder observation a week ago. Is this an ongoing molestation of my personal property?
-SH
You left it in the same cabinet as the jam, were you trying to say something
I was merely keeping it out of the way of my experiments, I have no idea where you keep your jam.
-SH
On second thought, it was nowhere near the jam. I hope you haven't been eating what's in that jar
-SH
John???
-SH
DON'T WORRY JOHN IS FINE
I'M SURE
6 u 9;;;
Yes this was kind of the highlight of my day, since getting to class is kind of difficult atm and I have to take several stops along the way, so I could sit down for a few minutes and reply to texts. Hoorayyy
I was thinking about where this fits in our continuity, if we have a continuity, then I realized all of what we're doing is pre-slash. It won't be for long though (we go on pretend dates sometimes??? next time we do we'll probably be John and Sherlock, I wouldn't doubt it.(When I pass people assume we're dating anyways because I legit look like a high schooler lmfao)
I mean besides that time where we were calling Tripper Lestrade and snuggling up on him and he gave both of us lots of kisses. Maybe that was something that happened when they were all drunk.
Yeah, a lot of this is basically LARPing and you will never get to hear about it SORRY
Anywayyyysss I was thinking of taking a photo of my hair as it is now, because I am not letting it get this long again. So I might as well let you all see it. I look like some freshman in high school who thinks he's a skater???
Do you guys want another stupid picture of me from my webcam? Is this something you desire?
ETA
OH GOD IT'S LIKE A MANE
HELP
And yes, I do wear that hat all the time. All the time. It's how people recognize me, apparently. Including annoying people I don't want to talk to who are only friends with me because my identity is shocking to their parents. Maybe I need a new hat?
My pins are fucking amazing btw, I recently added a Captain America and an Iron Man pin. FUCK YES.
