my heart cannot handle all of these assaults

Welcome to my belated feelings about Jesse Eisenberg, 2 years after the rest of the world has moved on. In my defense, 2 years ago I was recovering from Inception fandom and galivanting about Southeast Asia in a bliss of food and hot weather. I was distracted! Also, SJM.

But oh my god, Jesse Eisenberg. There is just something about his way with

1) I had to look up who jesse einberg was.
2) I think I said it but if I didn't Happy New Year
3) Glad to see you grooving along.

1. I only vaguely knew who he was previously due to proximity to friends who got into The Social Network fandom and batted his name about. Otherwise, clueless. But now i am learning more and having feelings.

2 & 3. Thanks! :D

I hope you're doing well too. Seriously, already March! Time moves so quickly sometimes.

wow your hair is so long that i thought the picture you linked was the before picture and was really confused for a while looking for a picture of you with like, a pixie cut or something.

[meiface]

Aha, yes, I should've clarified! It was the longest I've ever had it before, so cutting it to this length, while not objectively short, is the shortest I've had it in ages. I do this thing where I grow my hair out just to cut it in boredom. I have had chin length pixie-esque cuts before too, but I think I've learned that that hairstyle is not particularly flattering for my face shape. IDK. I am so lazy about my hair. I don't even own a blow-dryer, to the appall of some of my friends. Wash, air-dry, tie back, done!

my god, mei, your hair must have been enormously long before your haircut! your hair now is probably about my hair length now, which I consider just about manageable.

ALSO I JUST BOUGHT A MONTH'S SUBSCRIPTION TO NHL VAULT so I can watch games without having to stay up late, what am I doing with my life/bank account ;___;

re:Changtoria: have people even considered that they might just be hanging out as friends -.- -.- -.-

I can't believe it's March either; only 3 weeks of my undergraduate teaching left EVER. sobbing how did this even happen???

[meiface]

It was! So long! And get EVERYWHERE. Part of me was just taken with the idea that it was the longest I had ever had it and was curious how much longer I could grow it, but really there was no need to keep it that long.

Er, I am not sure how NHL vault works. Does it let you see this season's games? I thought they only had old games. I have GameCenter, which lets me stream games as they show or go back and watch the ones I missed. Ugh, basically the NHL continues to make mad money despite pissing off all the fans re: the lockout. We are all just desperate, I guess. :(

BOYS AND GIRLS CAN'T BE JUST FRIENDS, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. At least not in idol world, apparently.

oh my god really? But you just entered uni, like, yesterday! ;___;

[forochel]

you are a masochist ...

it does! I haven't actually tried it out yet because I've been so busy, but once I finish this project and my Last Undergraduate Essay Ever Aglskdlgjielsks I will try watching a game!

I think it's a case of inelastic demand ))):

why are fandoms so crazy, mei. ))):

I KNOW RIGHT?! my brain can hardly handle it!!

It's funny, I always had crushes on fictional character, but for the longest time, I never got celebrity crushes. AND THEN COLLEGE HAPPENED, and the Internet made interviews and whatnot increasingly accessible, and it was weird and horrifying and mesmerizing.

Er... in short, I get it now. ^^

FYEAHHHH STAR TREK INTO THE DARKNESS, speaking of celebrity crushes, I still don't know what to make of my recent, totally belated but undeniable fascination with Chris Pine (who is pretty much always some variant of a Jim Kirk in any given role of his, but as Jim Kirk is a charming bastard, I have zero problems with this). SNARKY BLUE-EYED DOUCHEBAGS, they'll do me in every time, GODDAMMIT.

Now I just have to bully someone in Korea into seeing it with me in May. HEY KOREAN COWORKERS, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT AN AMERICAN CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE.

[chaos_harmony]

P.S. re: hair, I AM GROWING MINE OUT, and it is... interesting. I resort to doing a lot of messy ballet-style updos and depending on bobby pins. The last time I had long hair, I was still a teenager, and had like zero idea how to deal with it, and now I'm all, HAIRCARE PRODUCTS, COME TO ME, OMG HAIR LOTION.

... that said, I still don't own a blowdryer. My life is an eternal war between vanity and laziness.

[meiface]

My life is an eternal war between vanity and laziness.

Amen. Thankfully, my hair doesn't need any real sort of maintenance (sometimes I forget to brush it even...), but it never achieves that pretty look right after a cut & blowdry by someone with a round brush and far more patience than I will ever have, lol.

[meiface]

And I just had crushes on everyone! Everyone unattainable & unavailable either through fame or fictionality, that is. But damn, yes, the accessibility of interviews and information in general has really helped facilitate that.

Oh man, Chris Pine is great, but you're totally right. Even him voicing Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardian made me laugh, because Jack Frost was basically Jim Kirk. NOT THAT I PROTEST. I am sure somewhere among your Korean coworkers is someone super-excited to see the Star Trek movie too. Chris Pine & his dazzling blue eyes! Maybe some of them care about Bandersnatch Cumbersnoot! Or maybe they just love lens flares like JJ Abrams does.

SOON.
