love is terrifying. with its power, and stealth, and disregard for such trivial things as time and space, to say nothing of languages and cultures, nay, life and death mean little to it... love, indeed, is a frightful thing. I do not quite envy, but I'm glad for those who find *reasonable* love. there is only so much wildfire a soul can take. a gentle curve & a sharp edge, there, far east. a frontier. I really should've known better, right? mood:  cynical

well, there's been this meme... y'know, those situations when you can't, really can not do or say anything useful, helpful, encouraging, and what you can do will be harmful, so you just don't? do they suck... so I do a meme in the dead of the night. I name about 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands I like, you guess my favourite character from each, we... brag about the results and exchange fannish gifts? why not. 1. Lord of the Rings [book] 2. The Silmarillion 3. Star Wars, classic trilogy 4. Star Wars, prequels 5. Discworld 6. Harry Potter 7. Bleach 8. Peacemaker Kurogane 9. Rose Red 10. Ravenous 11. The Phantom of the Opera 12. X-Files 13. House M.D. 14. Near Dark 15. Tombstone 16. Star Trek TOS 17. Mahabharata 18. Marvel comics 19. Once Upon a Time in Mexico 20. Transformers 21. The Kabir Cycle by H.L.Oldie 22. Equilibrium 23. A.Dumas's Musketeers trilogy 24. Jules Verne's books meep... ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) black_dragon , 19/24. anyone else? Tags: meme, rl

I just... er. very much er. I... got lost somewhere on my way to normal life. in the past month or so I have written... not bad stuff, watched quite a few amazing films and translated one of them, learned a bit more about CSS and some video editing software, learned some simple but neat Photoshop tricks, laughed way too much, confused and amused good people, did a bar swim, learned yet more random Japanese words... aww, I've been utterly useless - from an objective, practical point of view. there, there. poke me. mood:  awake

the thing is... nothing particularly worth telling about happened. no, really. any day now RL is gonna start kicking me, hard, for loitering with intent. ~ ( jasmine-flavoured tea session happened. )~ then I, uh... got sucked into another black hole fandom, against all odds -- yeah, there were days when I seriously thought I'd never read comics, too, -- and something strange happened. I read & watch canon in English only, but fanstuff? mostly in Russian. beats me why. maybe Russian ways of thinking are that bit closer to Japanese original? anyway. I've been spamming the web in my mother tongue. even wrote a classic romantic fic, Bummer: A Love Story [in Russian. I've also been translating *between* Russian, English & Romanian, but I don't think I'll ever do this one]. ~ then there's fooling around with a marker & a camera improvisation: ( not!cosplay )~ I owe so much to so many %( Tags: mine, pix, recs, rl

turns out I strongly dislike vodka. I'm a rum girl '-) jasmine tea, on the other hand, is fragrant and gentle. mmm, yum. ~ turns out there was a festival in our town, and we somehow got there a couple of hours before it closed '-) there were... amazing machines, artistic improvisation, kleizmer bands, bubbles, fireworks..! and balloons #-) well, ever since DWCon 2004 I wanted a balloon sword, and 5 years later I got one. ( in black. )~ so there's that. also, I need a [friendly] kick to finish the only story that seems to have some plot. the Bleach one is a totally lost case of fanart writing #-) Tags: mine, pix, rl

congratulations, it's past midnight and I'm writing a stupid fic based on canon I hardly know & am allergic to. go me. [well, it told me its name, what can a girl DO?] then I looked at everything I've done and might yet do for the bingo, and what do you know! all those stories, all of them, are about death in some way. characters start out or end up dead. characters think and/or speak about death. characters impersonate death. it looms, dammit. *headdesk* since when has my cliché bingo become a private softcore necro... fest? ETA: eh? dear story, I'm glad you have discovered your well-balanced inner structure, and okay, you know I have a blood kink, but *where* the hell do you think you're going?! the... world does not work that way! but you're funny '-) Tags: writing, wtf

those good old "list N characters, answer [crack] questions about them, PROFIT" memes? can't do them anymore, what with being an unimaginative scatterbrain. after a certain small amount of bad ideas and batshit scenarios generated brain shuts down. some things, however... simple questions, actually, like "Is Starrk hot? How hot?" *meditates* *thinks about great cosmic indifferent solitude* *meditates some more* yrs truly, easily distracted & confused. ~ life is, indeed, confusing. I fail a job interview, because I cannot sell shit. once everyone and their mother got that, I'm offered another opportunity... interview for a job with prior experience in marketing and sales required. o_0 Tags: fandom, rl

no, seriously, WTF with the brain? give me a canon, and I'll come up with half a dozen WTF-situations that will seem perfectly logical and/or natural to me. mind works in mysterious and disturbing ways. esp. immense cultural differences considered '-) [and psychologists wonder why I have so few friends. because very few can stand WTF overdrive, which is not, alas, fandom-restricted.] ~ I used to associate this song with T.E.Lawrence. ha, said the universe... and gave me disassembled someone. ~ in RL news, library research rocks, Advil is a lifesaver, and ripped USA flag iPod skin still looks cool. pfft.

not good news: job not found, teeth a mess, me - an even bigger mess, same old, same old. not bad news: lived all right through tooth extraction, been taken to Jerusalem and back on a failed job interview, got tickets to the one & only Leonard Cohen concert in Israel. [this last one is, in fact, BEST news. pray all is well up to & on September 24.] balance? Zen?! oh, and when, back then, I said I did not have enough bingo ideas a dear friend had wisely told me that they would come. right. they have. and they are MAD! [and still do not form a complete line, grrrr...] anyway, I will not fail it completely now. nice '-) [and I am a coward, which is not new either. a certain kind of coward. which is also why, I guess, I like Ravenous so much: it strikes a chord.] Tags: rl, writing

dear Elfie, really. you have one hell of a week to face, you are not ready for it, your life is a fcking mess, y'know? then there is a deadline, and you have virtually nothing to show. you have plans, though. be a good girl, follow that through. get your shit together, finish what you had started. learn to count. do not start new WTFs, try. that said, Starrk has dead eyes is a good opening, true, but DROP IT pls? do not write off a canon you barely know. do not write anime-based fanfiction. no love at all #-( [but Starrk does have dead eyes, and a pack of lone wolves forever runs through the Hollow World night...] Tags: bad idea, wtf

this WIP codename WTF, it has already screwed me over twice: once when it suddenly decided to be written and once yesterday, showing its true colors in the end, when there was no way to go but onwards. let's hope there won't be a third time, where I hit a spectacular dry spell once it is done. really, though. it started with a vision, brief and clear, and now if I squint hard I can find traces of that in the... work. traces. and what creeped in instead? I can't facepalm hard enough. you sly bastard of a fic. all right, I'll play, let's finish it... ...oh, hai, The Fountain flashback! Tags: writing

so I've been thinking... I have seen HP & HBP last Thursday and have words to say about it, but. but they spoiled everything with that [in]famous Sherlock Holmes trailer right before the movie proper. what were they thinking? I mean, who does that?! first, my quiet ecstatic "Well, fuck me sideways!" scared the prepubertate audience some, and then it took me time & effort to shut down the "Is it December yet?" loop and switch to Harry Potter. thanks, but no thanks! then again, the two are, in a loopy kind of way my mind works, connected. because in the beginning there was Sirius Black - movie version of Sirius Black, and before that, casting news. and I clearly remember myself being all WTF? no, really, WTF? because Gary Oldman and that role were SO incredibly wrong for each other. mean, I knew he would be fcking good, when is he not, but Sirius Black? WTF... then I saw the film[s], and we know how that went #-) I absolutely adore movie!Sirius, who is quite different from his book canon counterpart. and no, I do not think changing the character that much and that way was a right thing to do, but the result? can't help but love. and now this. SO much with the WTF, yes, from casting to concepts. and yet. it could well be a train wreck most spectacular, but I can't help this funny feeling... ...fuck me sideways, is it December yet? #-) mood: cynical

I'm making some bingo progress by convincing myself that out of the blue and WTF is, in fact, okay. different from long, deep, well-reasoned stories with actual plot, yes, but okay. oftentimes "because" is the right answer. when I fail to be convincing enough I, naturally, stall. then I dig up the source[s] to confirm that I had that briefly-mentioned-in-a-sentence little fact right all the time. *facepalm* I also owe people feedback. what do I do? why, write long-winded and extremely badly advised pr0n. a hopeless case :-( Tags: bad idea, writing

Write or Die's evil sounds are fun #-) of course, of course I failed to write 500 words in 15 minutes, but I'm getting there! OMG, once it's... made into an actual story [for a given value of story], I might well have about 1/2K of bingo goodness. fun neh '-) the amazing thing, as always, is the story surprising the hell out of me. "so that is what you were about"-like. at least this time I'm positive it's just thoughts on the subject surfacing in some order, but to watch them do so is no less fascinating. hello, weirdo handsome. now we need to get you a title, oh dear.

why is Amazon trying to sell me porn?? it looks too crass & obnoxious to be anything else. has heat-induced brainmelt reached the States as well? *eyeroll* and the Brits persuade me to go get The Ultimates 2, part 2. the one with lightsabers, and rainbows, and Tony's amazing eye color changes, yes... still, *eyeroll* ~ online quizzes are fun. [*grumble* really, is there a time limit, like in Write or Die, to type a quiz? because 95% of them look like something fired off, probably at gunpoint, and never ever revised. I just wonder.] even when a quiz says I scored as somebody else entirely, it displays the highest score for... right #-) Tony and I, we confuse the internets, albeit for different reasons. so I'm 92% like Tony or Reed, closely followed by... Wolverine #-) then there's 67% of Deadpool, Gambit and Nick Fury, and a lesser dose of, equally, Professor X, the Punisher, Spider-Man and the Hulk. and 33% of either the Sentry or Steve Rogers. o_0 scary Marvel '-) ~ ( grumble )~ it's too hot to live. come on. one of your bingo candidates is set in the Arctic Ocean, go for it '-) mood:  hot

I dreamt I lived in a country where it snowed 10 weeks a year. maybe more. for the rest of the year the snow just lay there '-) and it was so fine. so good. I not only survived, I actually enjoyed living there #-) suppose it was so incredibly cold you stopped noticig after a while. also, don't know wth is with gender switch in dreams, but this time I was definitely male. walking topless in winter... yes, sure. ~ have met a third cousin of mine. he's a really cute and all around nice guy. he trains a junior tennis team, sings opera, speaks half a dozen languages, loves swimming and dancing. he resides in Sweden but will stay here till 26.07.09. and he looks more like an Israeli than most of us '-) aw, exotic family. ~ I still am a terrible snob when it comes to writing/reading, and a grammar Nazi. somebody shoot me already #-( ~ and last night, dear diary, we went to see Public Enemies. ( deary me. )~ I really, really should be writing me bingo. instead I grumble about text formatting and contemplate not-quite-natural things to do to Tony. bad fan, no... nothing, really. *headdesk* Tags: dream, rl, tfs, videogasm
