turquoise is not green, alas.

Holy crap, this city loves St. Patrick's Day. On the drive/walk between the sushi place and my apartment, at 7pm, I saw:

a pair of young long-locked gentlemen, one of whom copped a leprechaun accent and said "And a happy St. Paddy's day to you fine folks!" while doffing his hat in a practiced bow as he swept past. A google imagesearch for top of ( Read more... )

fandom of one, rl

There are no fotos, I just linked to everything because I am laaaaaaaaaazy. You are not missing out, just so long as you clicked through to the aristocratic 1920s homos freshly off their little boat, drinking wine and eating strawberries, waiting for tragedy to strike.

INORITE, FUCKING GUINNESS. Those finance douchebags are all drinking it, and highfive-ing themselves for harassing the server at Earl's until she had to go get her manager to kick them out and then they go home together and fall asleep on each others' couches with the xbox on, holding their junk.

Not even Toronto has this many drunken jerkoffs, bb. You guys must yearn for some decent action over there in your liberal-artistic mecca, I bet. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE AT THE REDNECK MILE.

I am ashamed to admit that my crush on Matthew Goode started with Chasing Liberty with MANDY MOORE. Although I kind of love Mandy Moore, so whatever. I HAVE NO SHAME.

I should go watch Brideshead Revisited. Mmm.

I kind of love how you managed to pretty specifically catalog everything that everyone was wearing, down the label. You're such a clandestine preppy, Paige. Don't deny.

When I imdb'd him I a) chortled at Mandy Moore and b) choked at the fact that he was also the sinister/disgusting evildoer in The Lookout with my second-favourite boychild besides Shia, Joseph Gordon Levitt.

PROBABLY I WILL GO WATCH CHASING LIBERTY NOW. Mandy Moore was so awesome in Saved! that I trust your judgment. I just... fear those movies where he has a tiny head. Hide that reptilian neck, Goode!

AND OH GOD, YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE LABELS. I am a shallow shallow bitch who judges and judges! Beware my twitchy left eye. O.O

AHAHA OH NO. Chasing Liberty is SO BAD. SO BAD. I absolutely ADORED her in Saved!, but Chasing Liberty is cheese to the max. But enjoyable if only for Matthew Goode's preppy good looks. Mandy's only as good as the script she has, really. One movie I really really loved her in was Dedication, and I enjoyed it despite the fact that I think Billy Crudup is a gigantic BLUE PENIS. So that says a lot.

I can't really stand Shia, but I have a brain crush on JGL, leftover from his days on Third Rock from the Sun, even though he had that hideous haircut. I enjoyed him in the Lookout, but I didn't get the intellectual boner that everyone else seemed to get over Brick. I just love that he does indie shit now and uploads videos of himself filming the paparazzi to youtube. EXCEPT NOW HE'S IN THE DAMN G.I. JOE MOVIE AS COBRA COMMANDER, which I guess is my excuse to see it now (even though I was already going to see it because I think Channing Tatum is awesome and hot and the evil dude who used be one of the Dr. Whos is actually kind of ( ... )

ugh, mock my italics close-tagging disability why don't you! The exclamation point threw me off, obvs. To punish you, I will stop using them entirely because they are TRES DIFFICILE ( ... )

Well, fwiw this is basically the actual real life dynamic in Libs fandom, far as anyone can figure. XD; But their whole shtick was like FLASHBACK TO THE GAY TWENTIES.

subterrain March 18 2009, 05:01:33 UTC

asdfaf libs? What is this Libs you speak of? EXPLAIN FURTHER.

petronia March 18 2009, 18:30:42 UTC

Libertines fandom! LOL. I think I spent three months at the beginning just figuring out what had happened (and three months reading fic). The upside is that for a change, this is public entertainment for (an indie sector of) the British population, rather than a fangirl ghetto thing. The downside is having to hide yr RPS from the protagonists. THX A LOT NME.

But yeah... I guess my point was that it clearly wasn't straight friendship in real life, but peeps in the UK weren't all like OMG WERE U SEXXORING like the media would be here. It was just accepted as semi/denied/emotional not physical gay, like they had in 1920s literature, presumably because that example actually is in the culture. With more crack cocaine abuse. (Nor was it totally one-sided, but it's hard to know what goes on in people's heads, right. I do think Peter Doherty's created a situation where he can be as bent as he wants, holy shit his camp footballer thing, but no one sees him as gay because 1- if you have fucked Kate Moss there is no way you can be gay, 2 ( ... )

WOW THAT IS INTENSE. Someone really felt the need to put it all up on Wikipedia too, which, you know, is so public, as you say. Tell me the fic is good/awesome/excellent! And tell me WHERE the fic is!

Seriously, I've owned their first album for years: HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS? Fucking Spin, never reporting on the good shit. I love especially how far back their 'influences' push them into that pure romantical love territory... Blake, Dickinson, Edwardian wit, what? And then all the denying and denying. O.O
