I've been meaning to post all this stuff for ages. What a slacker! Quelle slackeur! ha!

Important Business 1) lyrebird made me lovely Punch-Drunk Love icons. *points to icon* Isn't it lovely? I'm just thrilled! This is why my heart is a seething pit of secret jealousy, because CC can use brushes and gradients and I'm just now figuring out the Quick Mask ( Read more... )

it must be something, my dear, to have your childhood memory of nature trauma screening before your eyes like an old time vedio...

i guess as children, we were all cruel and ignorant and immune to almost anything sentimental (we only get to act like that when we're older...) and witnessing incidents like the moth crawling forever down the drive and a fish dying with bubble of blood only serve as a sort of ... hint of what'd come after... or an omen even, perhaps? destruction and death, the things you called terrifying beauty, my dear, are always attractive to young and innocent, sometimes fatally so.

and that's perhaps why we remember them so well. that we'll keep recalling the vivid details - even though the details could very well be exaggerated to un-proportioned scale - of what and how our innocence come to an end... Remember our Cube-challenge piece? remember the rats? i know it sounds silly to quote from our own fic, but i feel like going down the memory lane and experience that chill along my spine... of course we're not defined by what we've witnessed in the past, not totally at least. still, our childhood trauma memory holds strong...

...on a total different note. sweetie, if i've Krycek saying "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow", what'd you do to Mulder in return? :)

It's amazing, what the mind remembers, and how some memories aren't even memories, but continuous loops of thought and image, over and over again.

Fear of death and mutilation... I guess that's what those memories signify... yes, I suppose so. Death anxiety? I feel so metaphysical all of a sudden.

We really should put up our "Silence of the Rats" challenge fic to our sites, aris. I know I had at one point, but now I'm not sure I even have the story anymore. What a shame! now that the Cube site is down, too!

You pick a line! All I can come up with is "Out, out brief candle!" or perhaps "These are pearls that were his eyes"... what do you think?

we all did, from time to time. since death is the last mystery of life and all that... hmmm, sweetie, perhaps you can write your life story in your LJ, starting from today... who knows, a year later maybe you can have materials enough for a book! :)

oh yes i got that SotR story!! i bought Cube's CD-rom just a while ago... need i post the story in LJ for you? :)

and i like "These are pearls that were his eyes"!! oh those pretty pretty eyes of Mulder~~~
