A sleepy day

[cleolinda]

You know, I was in the shower today and I had one of my Great (For Certain Values of "Great") Thoughts, and it was this: perfectionism can be a kind of cowardice. And I'm suffering from it. Because really, perfection doesn't exist, you know? I mean, if it does, it happens only in nature or accidentally; I don't know that you can achieve perfection

Hiding theft suspect crushed in trash compactor. AHHHHHHHHHH.

THAT HAPPENED ON SVU. Did you see it?! It was so fucked up! I had that reaction too!

That Gnomeo thing sounds weird, but Emily and James? Yes plz x two. I think I might be down with it just for them.

OH MY GOD, I REMEMBER THAT EPISODE. *shudders*

More visual evidence of vampire baseball

Oh, good Lord. *headdesk*

I just keep going back to that page and laughing and closing the tab and then going back and laughing at it again. Like, all day long. And looking at Peter Facinelli and going, "What the hell, man? What did they do to you? Who thought this was a good idea?"

[apocalypsos]

I can't believe I looked at that photo and thought, "Damn it, Facinelli, you're a better actor than this!"

[cleolinda]

Heh, I did too. And you know, it's not even that he's playing one of the dads in this terrible movie. It's that he's playing CARLISLE SAINTED CULLEN, WTF. And nobody else in Hollywood had actual blond hair? No one? Even down through the C and D list?

Wasn't Elijah Wood supposed to be one of the lead voice actors in Gnomeo and Juliet?

[cleolinda]

God, who knows, it's been so long. I wouldn't be surprised.

[laurelin_kit]

I think I remember that from my days of deep, deep obsession.

[cleolinda]

I seem to remember that he was also going to be in Thumbsucker, or am I hallucinating that?

That's... kind of exactly how I am about my writing. I get really close to finishing something, then totally self-destruct, tell myself it's awful, it'll never be just perfect and then flee in terror. Because one of my deepest fears is working hard on something, showing it to someone and being told it's awful. This was really good to read, I'm just now rediscovering creativity after the creativity void of gradschool. Thanks for writing it.

[cleolinda]

Aw, you're welcome. : )

GET ME OUT OF TWIFANDOM.

GET ME OUT GET ME OUT. It's starting to look like Scient-fuckin-ology.

You see now why I was so scared when nymag.com linked to the recaps. I kept having flashbacks to Gandalf being all like "THEY ARE COMING" in the Mines of Moria.

[saramiskismet]

Oh, I do see, bb. Luckily none of them dared to affront your amazingness.

[cleolinda]

That, or none of them have LJ accounts...
