A strange city, filled with strange people and strange noodles

[weatherfront]

(Caveat, the subject line does not accurately describe Heidelberg in the slightest, but the phrase "strange noodles" will never fail to make me laugh dlkfha;lg thank you Kung Fu Panda 2) but ANYWAY, hi! I'm home! :D Has it really been almost two months since I last made one of these haphazard grab-bag entries?! Obviously that means it is time for

I personally prefer the Caipirinha as my obnoxious dance meme of choice. Why hasn't anyone made an Inception version of that yet. Someone totally should.

[weatherfront]

Because the Caipirinha is essentially a one-character dance ;____; AND INCEPTION IS A GROUP EFFORT, NELLIE

Someone should also make an Inception version of Hare Hare Yukai! Or the Lucky Star dance! Or the Ouran opening! ...Wait, Inception is probably not that much of a group effort...

[cthonical]

Fffff LOTS OF CAIPIRINHA ONES HAVE LOTS OF CHARACTERS.

Also gfdi I am actually listening to the Lucky Star song now. Because apparently it is not possible to check the spelling of "caipirinha" without ending up link hopping to other memes on youtube.

[weatherfront]

BUT THAT'S LIKE SAYING, LOTS OF SALADS HAVE STEAK IN THEM, I MEAN YES IT MAKES THE SALAD MORE AWESOME BUT IS THAT REALLY THE POINT OF SALAD, I ASK OF YOU

...I am also listening to the Lucky Star song now MAKE IT STOP orz

eta FUCKING TYPOS

OMG hnnnnnng European countries always have this quaint giant city not really modern look THAT IS JUST SO COOL AND CANNOT BE REPLICATED

lol I have no idea what you are talking about, what are these dreams you unlock anyway, ARE THEY SOUNDBITS OF ARTHUR SAYING DIRTY THINGS???

ah I still don't get how ae_match works. are we supposed to wait for something or something?

no more ponies DDD: /goes to watch more ponies (EP 3 IS BUFFERING)

[weatherfront]

Uhhhrhnnghrhh YES I will never stop being starry-eyed over COBBLESTONES AND ROOFS WITH UNEVEN HEIGHTS WHAT IS THAT EVEN, SO PICTURESQUE

If the dreams were anything like that, I would be a LOT more amenable to the app in general :'((( It's that Inception dream app where you ~unlock~ certain dreams that take sounds from your environment and remix them into songs from the soundtrack! Cool in theory, COMPLETELY USELESS IN PRACTICE XD

ae_match won't start until a couple weeks from now, right? Plenty of time to finish all available episodes of PONIESSSSSSS omg Shu it gets better and better, mainline the fuck out of them and we will talk about OUR FAVORITE EPISODES and omgomg you have so many episodes left, I envy youuuuu

[keelain]

didn't I say you should watch madoka, I should watch madoka actually idk if I/we will like madoka...

but what if it's just like sounds of traffic and typing in the environment... ok I'll stop now. I see how it is completely useless and like gigantic waste of memory if I remember correctly.

hahaha yeah but that means I'm not drawing. omg it's so hard to draw right now I HAVE NO PATIENCE AT ALL.

[weatherfront]

That's true, I should watch Madoka, only-- it is just so EXISTENTIAL and DEEP and TRAGIC, I don't know if I can handle that much introspection! It is the summer, it's too HOT FOR INTROSPECTION

It's usually just sounds of traffic and typing, the app claims that it turns the world around you into a whole new soundscape etc etc but really everything just sounds like a slowed-down version of the soundtrack with bits of echo-y amplified background noise :(((

I mean normally of course I would beg you to draw, because you should be drawing and I love it when you are drawing, but... but PONIES. Surely you can draw after you have finished watching PONIES?! Only 26 episodes!!

[heyheyrenay]

I am so happy you had fun! It looks like a fairytale city, especially in the first photo, what kind of perfection is that.

I was judged so harshly for not knowing that video meme...was a meme--! ALL MY FRIENDS LAUGHED AT ME AND I FELT SHUNNED. It's like they revoked my hermiting shut in card. Inception fandom...you have taught me so much about life...and memes...

ALSO, HELLO AE_MATCH TEAMMATE. :D

[weatherfront]

RENAY!!! RENAY HI RENAY :DDDD I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH HOW ARE YOU, IT IS THE SUMMER, YOU ARE FREE RIGHT?! YOU ARE GOING TO TEAR UP AE_MATCH WITH FIC??? :DDDDDDDD I MISSED YOU

[heyheyrenay]

HI IFRIT! I HAVE MISSED YOU, TOO, I WAS PRETTY EXCITED TO SEE YOU POST. ♥ IT IS TOTALLY SUMMER, I AM MOSTLY FREE EXCEPT FOR OTW WORK! :D

AS LONG AS BY "TEAR UP" YOU MEAN "PROBABLY WRITE A 13K STORY THAT BREAKS ALL THE RULES AND IS DISQUALIFIED" THEN YES! :D

[weatherfront]

AH YES OTW WORK IS IMPORTANT BUT NOWHERE REMOTELY NEAR AS TIME-CONSUMING AND SOUL-CRUSHING AS SCHOOL!! I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE ;______;

omg there is no UPPER WORD COUNT DQ, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN-- NO----- I mean it will be sad because you will still only get five points for a 13k story, but on the plus side, THAT MEANS YOU CAN POST THE 13K STORY IN 2OO-WORD INSTALLMENTS (or, as a saner alternative, you could write 200-word ficlets in addition to a 13k epic, they would only be 200 words and it is the summer :DDD)

OMG YOU WERE IN HEIDELBERG IT'S LIKE I COULD HAVE REACHER OVER AND TOUCHED YOU YET I DID NOT KNOW, FRUSTRATIONNNNNN. Okay, no, I live quite far from it now, really. but I used to live NEXT DOOR and we'd drive up on the weekend to walk on the cobblestones and take in a few exhibitions and eat amazing Mohnkuchen, oh, HEIDELBERG, and the copper scupltures in the fountains, and the monkey (moneky?) and mice on the briiiiidge, omg.

*happy sigh*

[weatherfront]

I COULD HAVE TOTALLY TRAVELED BACK IN TIME AND THEN REACHED OVER AND TOUCHED YOU, oh Ana it was the best trip ever, all the while I was like HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN GET ANYTHING DONE LIVING IN PROXIMITY TO A PLACE LIKE THIS. HOW DID YOU EVEN GET ANYTHING DONE LIVING IN PROXIMITY TO A PLACE LIKE THAT. Ahh yesssss all of those things!! Except for the Mohnkuchen actually because I opted for strawberry instead, and it was ridiculously delicious but now I am regretting the missed opportunity :'(

[anatsuno]

Strawberries can be had in many places! Mohnkuchen as I know it is pretty much exclusively German, so I never miss the opportunity. Eating opium cake is too good to pass up. :D

I am extending my finger really far to touch yours right now, just saying. We could be on the Sistine Chapel and all. <33

[weatherfront]

;______; YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I was just, you know, looking at the display of pies and cakes and the strawberries were so fucking huge and red and juicy-looking on the strawberry pie, and also it was the last slice left, you know how it is when it is the last slice left... sob I will just have to avenge myself on the Mohnkuchen next time around...

flkdh;glh;kgha so blasphemous NICE BEARD, ANA

[eleveninches]

I'm glad you had a good time! It looks so lovely!

[weatherfront]

IT WAS SUPER LOVELY ERIN *_____* And the weather was totally brilliant too, I am so tan! Maybe that has something to do with my always forgetting to wear sunscreen, but HEY WHATEVER, I GOT MY VITAMIN D
