dear dairy,

I had that feeling again. Where I was reading someone's lj, looking at someone's pictures on facebook, watching someone speak, looking out the window to see someone riding their bike by my house, talking to the girl behind the register at Starbucks, and I suddenly felt that I could really fall in love with that person so hard. Not could like, Oh

That song is omg, pretty and kind of haunting. Why does everything sound better in Spanish? I wish I were taking it again this year instead of just doing it online.

[zempasuchil]

I am not sure if I love it more for the Spanish or the song itself :)))

Do you want more spanish music? I can upload some! Doing classes online wouldn't be able to motivate me enough... it kind of sucks a lot of the excitement out of it.

[lettersandliars]

I really wanted to take Spanish again this year because the teacher is amazing, but I didn't have enough time :/

I have some Spanish music, but it's mostly really cheesy pop songs XD (have you heard Bonito?!)

[zempasuchil]

I haven't heard Bonito!

dude, I have scrounged up some really awesome stuff over a couple years. I will make a Spanish music post sometime, it deserves it. and occasionally iTunes' free single of the week is in Spanish (that's where I got Bestia, in fact).

I don't think wanting a meaningful connection (and falling in love is supposed to be the most meaningful connection ever, right) is a problem or necessarily a sign that you're lonely. I think it's just a part of everyone's life.

[zempasuchil]

You know, you're totally right! this makes the plainest sense in the world. Thank you for confirming that.

Oh that song is really beautiful. I love the way other languages sound so pretty in my ears. Spanish and French just lend themselves beautifully to music.

And for the Series of Unfortunate Events references, I only caught one. You wrote Dear Dairy instead of Dear Diary. I love that about you. Let's go to Massachusetts together. ;-)

I sometimes feel that way too, and it's nothing to worry about. But it's sometimes so deep and beautiful and heart-felt that it hurts.

And look, I just answered your post in the exact opposite order of the way you wrote it.

[zempasuchil]

oh yes, so so true. Have you heard of Manu Chao? he rocks so hard; he sings in Spanish, French, English, even some Portuguese! youtube him, he's up there.

YAAAY MASSACHUSETTS HERE WE COME
(the other is that I hid a VFD somewhere in there! you can probably find it)

It is at least good to know that I'm not alone, that this is not that unusual, that it is not an indicator of something very wrong :))

(answering posts backwards is totally how my brain works; i guess it just leaps to the most recent thought and then from there retraces its steps?)

<3<3<3

SoUE ftmfw.

I've never really felt like that, but I know the loneliness quite well. :/

[zempasuchil]

YOUR ICON <3
now I want to dig out my old ASoUE icons I made from scanning pages of the Unauthorized Autobiography. THE WORLD IS QUIET HERE.

loneliness = the suck. there there *pat*

[frozenfoxfire]

I made it myself~ I'll trade you if you upload those other ones, I need some cool ones and the internet is full of suck on the subject.

(Totally not going to lie, I memorized the Sebald Code. Did you catch the coded paragraph in The Penultimate Peril? ;D)

I agree. We'll be lonely together. <3

[zempasuchil]

eee I will upload them! the internet is full of suck, you say? is it fandom or just nonexistent?
I totally memorized it too :D I don't remember if I caught the paragraph in The Penultimate Peril, though. it's been a while.

[duello]

You should ACTUALLY come to Massachusetts. :P It is a lonely state, at the moment.

Earlier this summer I had a sort of flirty interaction with a Starbucks barista who looked a lot like this guy I hooked up with at the beginning of last year. But I don't think that's exactly the same thing. :P I know the feeling though. I mean, I don't ever really think "oh my god I could fall in love with you", but there are definitely people i see on the bus and the subway and stuff whom I'm intrigued by and would like to get to know.

[zempasuchil]

AND I WOULD. If it were not so very far away. :((( <3

Flirty interactions ftw. Sometimes it is really weird and intense, that's all. Not with everyone. Just. yeah.
