Oh look! A meme!
Feb. 16th, 2009 11:29 pmFirst of all, I have had a MAD HAT WEEKEND. Believe me when I say this. Utterly mad. And I did not spend the whole thing drunk so I can't even blame it on alcohol. The maddest things actually happened when I was SOBER. Or mostly and likely the most sober of the group. Baffling. I cannot really talk much about it though because some of it is Super Sekrit and would be awkward for people not me if someone from FB should wander over and I am kind in the event of this (small) possibility. But I have this thing. It's a meme. I'm going to do that instead.

~Ireland
God way to pick an obvious topic! I think most of my entries in the last six months or so have had SOMETHING or another to do with Ireland. Suffice it to say, I love it. It's really different from living in the states, and not just because of the weather! (though trust me, that was hell to get used to! I've about got that handled now though. Thank god.) Living here is just. It's different. I do different things than I would have back home, even when I was in college there. I guess part of it is that I live in a city instead a small town, but there's this enormous amount of freedom, you know? Born from being one of a Whole Fucking Lot. I've decided I like cities. Dublin is a brilliant city. I went up to Howth (pronounced 'Hoe-th,' not 'How-th') on Saturday--it's this peninsula overlooking Dublin from out in the Bay. Very, very cool to sort of see the whole thing...spread out. I need to get out of Dublin some more, but every time I do it's just so pretty. Green. And I love, love, love the bookstores. I spend far too much time in those. And Murphy's, my favorite pub. Where I rarely drink myself stupid but frequently go for talk, a pint or two and a very delicious sandwich. My favorite bartender has taken to giving me free crisps whenever I'm in there too. AWESOME. I like Ireland.
~Dino/Mukuro
Is epic. Is adorable and strange and I miss it like crazy because it was just. so. fun. I just loved how Dino's perpetual good humor like, seemed to throw Mukuro off of his Strange and Creepy because it's supposed to make people UNCOMFORTABLE, not amuse them. IDK. They came at things from such opposite directions but both seemed to just take things in stride which made them sort of alike but completely different, which is what I loved about the pairing, really. I MISS IT. Though I don't really miss RPing very often, which makes me sad because I used to love it so much. I really just miss it when I want to play out an interesting relationship, not read/write fic about it. You get more...involved, I guess. By just taking on one of the brains you get to know it better. I miss the D18 for similar reasons, but I just can't make that commitment again. :(
~Theatre
Used to completely OWN my life. I loved it a lot, surely, and it shaped a great deal of who I am, but right now? I don't really miss it. I liked the sense of community, but I always felt most accomplished when I was like, Stage Managing and god knows it about killed me last time I did that. It's just too much work and I tended to spread myself far too thin. I thought about getting involved here as well, but then I remembered how little time I had for anything else when I was part of it and how much fun I've had when I DO have that time. But I will always be grateful to the theatre, and particular Mr. Lewis, for shaping me. For getting me over my shyness. For giving me a community that was designed for eccentric people. I like that. I think it's something everyone should be a part of at least once in their life, because it's really good for the soul.
~Procrastination Missa!
She changed it, not me! but we are both very, very good at procrastinating. Or bad it because it's not something we SHOULD do, really. It is a sacred bond over a sacred art form that exists to...er. Cause stress, probably. But MISSA. As that is the bit not crossed out. Is one of my favoritest people on the entire internet. She is adorable and sweet and has got a ton of potential to lead a really awesome and fun life! High School can just be an utter drag. I am always quite happy when I catch her on AIM. :D She tells me when I am being foolish and listens to all my crazy stories and actually seems to LIKE them! She has some really fun stories herself too! I spent like, all summer talking to her until Crazy O'Clock about Life and Things and RPing the aforementioned Dino/Mukuro. Some of truly the best conversations I've ever had. I don't even mind her fetus status--Missa is good people and is hopefully blushing by now. >D (ilu ♥!) She also got me addicted to Merlin and is a cruel, cruel person for having done so because I AM UTTERLY ADDICTED.
~Literature
IS MY SUBJECT. No, seriously. But I bet you all knew that. It's what I do. I read. I analyze. I make very strange allusions that a very small portion of the population actually GETS, but when they do, oh how hilarious it is. Literature, I think, is under-appreciated. Yes, TV and movies and radio and internet and all that jazz are FUN, but they haven't got the HISTORY that literature does, not really. It doesn't require technology, just some way of recording the stories, even if it's oral tradition. It's culture and history and humanity and language. I love things that are playful with language and the notion of literature, even if the themes are darker. I like things that follow traditional methods, that invent new methods (that may then BECOME traditional!), I like most things. But mostly, (and I learned this recently from a classmate who said something similar) I like the stories. Maybe they're true, maybe they're not. But they're from people and they've been preserved in a way that is beautiful. And figuring out exactly what those stories are and how they're made up and told, that is academia for me. Understanding. And I like that.
OKAY WHO WANTS TO DO THIS. And no, you don't have to blather that much, rofl.
PS- foot is functional again, that is the wonders of an ice pack and painkillers!
