He bled dirty red wine, and I drank gin as the miles grew thick between us
Every other day or so, I open a tab to livejournal and start trying to compose an entry; then I think, "Nah, no one wants to hear about that," and close it again. And in this manner, nothing ever gets written
( Read more... )
Somehow, after having once (meaning a couple of months ago to be exact) been told that a water slide was awesome and spending long enough underwater to see highlights of my life flash by, anything awesome that involves water has become rather suspect. According to Michael Caine in The Prestige, death by drowning isn't very pleasant.
I can't imagine what you could say about it that'd put me off it, really. Indeed, as I'm not exactly on it. The whole concept of Hetalia is problematic for me, since while I find the whole idea of it vaguely offensive, I do tend to be drawn to things I find offensive. Mere mention of Hetalia makes me fidget. I'm honestly quite interested. Especially if hearing your thoughts will finally prompt me to try either reading or forgetting it... Too much pressure?
Damn, I was under the impression that you hated the way those entries creeped you out... Then I shall again revel in being able to make it seem as if I only blog about Nao on demand. You know, if you happen to be on Facebook and aren't averse to adding weirdoes off the internet on principle, I'm there only to publicly humiliate myself by meticulously documenting my downward spiral into madness when I'll be much too close to Tokubetsushitsu next year. Or that's the general plan, at least.

Clearly, you have not ridden down the right water slide yet. Ideally, it should be a good experience, not a drowning one.
Heh. Well, I just figured if it was a fandom you definitely didn't like, I would warn you ahead of time not to read the entry, since I don't like starting to read entries that are about topics I don't like or care about. Just didn't want to harsh anyone's squee or deliberately irritate.
Edit: I forgot-- email me your name, and I'll add you. I usually try to keep my facebook separate from lj, but I don't mind putting you on.
No, it doesn't creep me out! (Well, not much. Heh.) Mostly, they amuse me, because I know you are not really a creepy stalker. You're always very funny when you talk about it. And the fact you're actually going to Japan just makes it better.

Nah, there's probably no fandom I wouldn't be interested in, whether I like it or not. I'm not one to tell people I hate what they like (not strictly true, since I'm in fact quite a dickhead) or at least not on the net (because while irl it's possible to be bitchy and rely on ones boyish charm, it doesn't work that well in an lj comment). Your style's massively entertaining; it's enough to entice me to read through your entries about swimmers I can't even tell apart from each other most of the time, like you may have noticed. And I'm easily swayed by a convincing argument.
I've heard there're people who can't really fathom that a persons journal, while public, is still that persons turf. A while ago I read about all hell breaking loose when someone commented on a post about the poster missing her late mother with something along the lines of "if my mother died I'd pop the champagne".
Was this my roundabout way of saying "post about Hetalia already", or just me rambling like I always do, I don't know.
I sent you an email.
...I'm glad you find my anguish amusing. I think going there rather takes something out of it, though. I'm somewhat worried that on my own, i.e. with no one curbing my weirdness, it'll be like 3 a.m. all the time for a year, and I'll end up littering my FB with pictures of Tokubetsushitsus front door taken in varying degrees of candidness, all titled "the gates of heaven"... Haha, hum...

Yeah, swimmers do ten to look kinda alike once the caps and goggles are on and they're not wearing anything. I should post about the championships coming up. Those should be a blast. And I'm glad you understand how I feel about the journal turf. I've had a few bad experiences there, so I tend to be overly cautious.
I got it. I'll add you. I can't wait to read about your adventures in Japan.

Rather than that it's probably the fact that I never encounter most of those swimmers anywhere outside your lj... I've seen Phelps in the paper and Thorpe on Australias Next Top Model, and them I recognize, but every other swimmer... I can't remember even one name. But I still enjoy reading about them.
That's actually very surprising. What the hell...
I'm rather hoping that the weirdest part of the adventure will be documented on lj, though not because I've cultivated an internet persona completely unlike my day persona or anything like that...
