It's not Thanksgiving yet, is it? Damn. (plus: meme.)

As is probably apparent from the post yesterday, computer is deAIDSified. All my files are intact, I just need to get my programs back and find out where I put the CD that has the drivers for my sound card, because I miss watching movies on this thing ( Read more... )

but the point madam, life outside the internets, process: part preparation and part panic, meme me, fandom: ffvii

Hey, I value consistent characterization. I also think the way I behave in #ri is a fairly decent representation of what I'm actually like, give or take...

I will echo you on the surprised-but-not-really as to how fast we clicked in person. I had suspicions we would (I mean, seriously, anyone Mith loves so much HAS to rock~), but was so pleased.

I was surprised (although only very briefly so, and I shouldn't have been) by your sheer enjoyment of intellectualism, and by the theoretical emphasis of your theater.

puella_nerdii November 26 2008, 05:26:35 UTC

As was I, most definitely. You have no idea how much I look forward to the times the three of us spend together.

Theoretical theatre is what my department does. *grin* It's why I'm glad I ended up where I did -- the program and I turned out to fit together very well.

byzantienne November 26 2008, 05:37:13 UTC

Me too -- they're wonderful. Obviously you need to be kidnapped up here again. *smile* I miss you.

Isn't it wonderful how that happens? In such unexpected ways, too, at least for me (ooo, Comparative methodology~).

puella_nerdii November 26 2008, 05:44:42 UTC

I miss you too. I might see if I can head up to NY before the holidays, since I'm done with classes by the seventeenth at the latest and thus have time for such things before I'm trundled off to Chicago.

It really is -- I'd been horribly upset about going to this school initially, since it was my safety, but it's turned out so well for me. Admittedly, I'm not thrilled with the creative writing department, but that's why I have the Internet. And I've learned a lot from the writers I've met hanging out here.

But, but I LIKE popcorn. D: Though not with butter.

Animorphs! Haven't thought about that in ages--read a few of the books, but never really got into it. :/

Surprises? Hmmm...I met you in person before we were LJ-friends, but I'd seen you in cosplay pictures, so I was (momentarily) surprised by how different you look out of costume--though I probably shouldn't have been. Also was surprised (pleasantly so) by how quickly we were able to find common conversational ground and get along (I do the whole "quiet and nervous around new people" thing a lot).

puella_nerdii November 26 2008, 05:38:26 UTC

I do too! Popcorn is one of my biggest cravings. It's just not terribly substantial. (Caloric, though, or it can be, depending on how much butter you slather on it.)

I had a childhood obsession with Animorphs -- have reread a few of them intermittently in the years since, and I'm surprised at how well they've stood up, how thematically mature they are in so many ways. Teenagers! With PTSD! I can properly appreciate such things now!

Yeah, that last was definitely a pleasant surprise! And it was nice to have someone to talk KH with. And yes, in real life I am not a postpubescent boy. Though I still look postpubescent sometimes. I will be carded foreeeeveeer.

I was surprised that you could tolerate me, let alone love me.

:snuggles:

puella_nerdii November 26 2008, 05:39:22 UTC

Well I wasn't surprised about that. You are lovable.

*snuggleback*

Er, hi! I've been an occasional lurker since you posted Sandman/Baccano! crossoverfic. Which is very rude of me. *dies*

Eee, Stargate. Much fun, though yeah... off the top of my head, I can only think of about three meaningful episodes. And they all involve character death, so that may say more about me than the show. xD

(I would have been replacing Goa'uld with Yeerk, but I couldn't remember the name, and so just occasionally thought of them as "those Animorph aliens. But shinier.")

puella_nerdii November 26 2008, 05:41:46 UTC

Hey there! Always good to see new people around.

-- to be fair, I think the same statement about Stargate would probably also apply to me. *cough* Stargate is fun, though. Not Deep and Meaningful, necessarily, but it's really not trying to be, I don't think. It's spacepulpy, and it's enjoyable.

Yeah, the Goa'uld are definitely shinier. I don't know, I started reading Animorphs when I was tiny, and since then I have conflated every single brain parasite ever with the Yeerks.
