How in the world do you make your life sound poetic? It's not fair. Your !life posts sound like music, the hopelessly tragically romantic sort. I'm jealous, it's obvious. -cry-

[glockdown]

Hopelessly romantic is sort of what I am, and it's really not all that much of a good thing. Trust me, you're far better off being level-headed and no-nonsense. XD Writing like I'm doing an excerpt from something makes the emotion come out more easily. Makes it hurt less afterwards too. *hugs*

I think meaning is found in different places for everyone; but - on my part I have always believed that you make your own meaning. At least, that's how it works for me. If I were to use an analogy - life for me is a puzzle that you rearrange to make your own sense, your own meaning. No one can do it for you; and it won't fix itself. But that's just me.

But I have never been a great believer in logic. I have never been a great believer in anything
I ~ HAVE ~ SOMETHING ~ TO SAY ~ TO YOU ~

I don't believe you know me
Although you know my name
I don't believe the faults I have
Are only mine to blame
I don't believe in magic
It's only in the mind
I don't believe I'd love somebody
Just to pass the time

I don't believe that beauty
Will ever be replaced
I don't believe a masterpiece
Could ever match your face
The joker's always smiling
In every hand thats dealt
I don't believe that when you die
Your presence isnt felt

But I believe in you

I really want to believe that meaning's something I'll stumble upon, that it's something I can look outwards for, because I spend too much time looking inside myself as it is. \D But I agree, I don't believe there's a universal meaning of life either.

HAHA thank you dear~ I'm really not a fan of Kylie Minogue's synthed-up, electropop (ultra)soprano but I won't say no to appropriate lyrics! :D And your icon cheered me right up. XD

[thelovemafia]

Life (and meaning) is whatever you make it to be. *grin* Only you can make the best fit.

re. icon: It's the burning question on Shouichi's mind, y'know. No amount of research he does gets him any closer to the answer.

In my opinion Tsuna tops. Tsuna. He topped Irie when they were kids and he was unconscious and didn't even remember it. And he tops Irie when he's ten years younger and not even in badass Dying Will Mode.

I think appropriate lyrics can be found everywhere. *GRIN* Everywhere.

WAIT WAIT WAIT THAT'S. A TALES OF THE ABYSS ICON! Do you like the series? Because I didn't know you did!

[glockdown]

I feel so much better after going to bed. Easiest place to get depressed is panda-eyed in front of the computer. *sheepish*

In my opinion Tsuna tops.
I agree with this analysis! Irie's asking for it - WTF is with all the eagle-spread poses Amano??

WAIT WAIT WAIT THAT'S. A TALES OF THE ABYSS ICON! Do you like the series?
W-ell, after your pimp post back in October, I got off my dubious behind and started watching. :D Never played the game but I knew vaguely that it was a fantasy-quest type RPG, and okay, you hooked me with the Guy/Luke. *cough* Shock of all shocks, I actually really like Tear, and Luke's attitude didn't start bothering me until ep. 7. XD I've sort of spread my sticky fingers into a whole lot of fandoms I don't talk about.

Wow, you read two books a week? *____*

This was... really beautiful. <3

[glockdown]

Not all of them in hard copy though. \D I'm a huge fan of ebooks.

Thank youuu. Speaking of, I haven't read anything new from you in awhile. *sadface*

PS. Do you have an account on shelfari by any chance? I, uh, sent a friend request to someone with the same username as you awhile back - possibly, some random's scratching his head right at this moment. XD

[gajillion]

Just checked! I don't use it very much, to be honest, but I've added you back! (: <33

Ah! Where do you get your ebooks? (:

[glockdown]

Awesome. :D

expurgatorius and ebooklover are good places to try. There are larger upload lists at ebooklover but there's no tagging system, which is pretty annoying. You have to skip entries until you see something you like. \D

[inquisitory]

You are infectiously poetic, you know that? I hope your summer treats you well. :) ♥

[glockdown]

Aw, right back at you dearheart, whatever degree of frost you're getting over there. :D
