Still alive

Aug 30, 2015 15:22

Just thought I'd check in and point out that yeah, I'm still alive, reached 36 today, somehow not dead yet. Feeling ill as usual, but shall see if I can still celebrate today--Casablanca's on the telly and I can never watch that too many times--and I don't know if I will be able to even touch that vodka I have stashed away somewhere because I'm ( Read more... )

Many happy returns! *hugs* May your day be spent in radiant contentment. And how fitting that Casablanca should be showing :) Enjoy it in all it's masterful glory.

Ahahahaha, radiant contentment <3

I basically annoyed the living shit out of the maternal unit by giving a DVD commentary and going on about EVERY PART HINTING ABOUT RENAULT'S BISEXUALITY AND HIM BEING RICK'S TRUE LOVE. And every time Connie was lusting over Claude. Having downed an Irish Coffee during did not help...

You still on your hols? I miss you on Tumblr terribly, what with all this Veidt yelling that needs to be done. If you're still in France, have a great time, darling. <3

Ooh, Irish Coffee. Delish. Ahahaha your mother ought to feel privileged if anything! Not just anyone gets to experience a live commentary including ALL ZE VUNDERVUL SUBTEXT <3

Merci bien :) I am indeed still on holiday, I return on Saturday. And oh gosh, how I've missed all the Veidt yelling - I've barely been able to talk about him here and IT IS DRIVING ME TO DISTRACTION. He's just so absolutely sublime that these things can't be kept in for any substantial amount of time, basically.

Well, I do so hope you had a wonderful day! <3 Connies and Rainsies and Bogies galore.

Yeah, it's really impossible to try and shut up about anything that awesome. It's like those really big things IRL that happen to you that you find it really hard not to talk about--some great happiness or some great sorrow and then you get squirmy when you can't talk about it in certain company or something. That's how he is, basically, and it's CRAZY because it's like falling in love with a real person?!? Bastard.

The day was good indeed, and I did not need to hit the vodka after all. Casablanca did all the stunning for me :D

Loved the Attar quote you posted yesterday--glad you're munching on some Persian literary noms <3 Hope the rest of your hols will continue to be awesome. *squish*

HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY!!!11!

I'm glad you're not dead and hope you'll stay alive for AT LEAST another 36, preferable more, and that the following years will be spent in health, happiness and creative glory. Lots of hugs and tummyfluff from me and Rosa!

Thank you! And the thought of living to an old age frankly terrifies me what with these illnesses (the ones that won't go away), so I'm not that bothered about that--just bringing in tons of porn into the world before I cark it :) Lots of hugs to you and Rosa-näsa as well. <3

Hence the bit about health and happiness. Which I do wish you. *hugs*

Thanks!

I'm glad you mentioned Kirsten Dunst's acting, because I had my jaw on the floor for the whole movie; in fact, in the middle of it I had to look her up on the Wiki to see how old was she when she made that movie and holy shit, 12 years old! We all were amazed at how good she was on the role, she even stole some scenes from Pitt and Cruise! So yes, the "problem" wasn't her acting or the character, it's just that the relationship between Claudia and Louis is much more "platonic", so while the vampiric aspect scares you, the evilness of the "forbidden" relationship cannot be compared to Torsten/Laura because after all, we're talking supernatural creatures there, while Torsten and Laura are humans, so they can't justify their actions with a simple "hey but I'm a vampire, so I can do whatever". And that's what I like about your stories, because while incest and evilness and extreme kinks are done so "easily" on stories with supernatural/fantastic creatures, it isn't that easy with humans, because it can scare the reader much more. And that ( ... )

Awww, now you're making me all meepity .________. I think Kirsten was eleven, in fact, during filming. I remember taping some of the press interviews about it, and remember how everyone went on about her being envied by all the women in the world because she got to kiss Brad Pitt, and then she was just complaining about how dry Brad's lips were and Brad was rolling his eyes and going "oh, god, not again!" It was adorable ( ... )
