the brooding thoughts are not enough
May. 9th, 2020 10:52 amHad I the wherewithal, the panache, two brain cells to rub together, I would write normally in paragraphs. But I don't, so everything is gonna be lists. Transitions smansitions.
Here are some tropes I like!
Here are some tropes I dislike!
Here are some tropes I like!
1. the characters have been estranged for a long time and they meet each other again and it's tense and sad and eventually they bone but there's a lot of tense sadness first
2. AU where one character finds the other injured in the woods and nurses them back to health in their cabin or whatever and it's like Little House on the Prairie with lots of descriptions of chopping firewood and getting supplies
3. HURT/COMFORT KIDNAPPING
4. "I thought I was going to be okay. I'm so stupid." - hopeless resignation, especially about unrequited love. i Love Sadness
5. "I wish I had known you when we were young" - wanting to save and protect the younger self of the person you love; working through trauma by helping the one you love
6. Overboard!AU
7. slow burn arranged marriage... especially with an age difference ;;;;;
Here are some tropes I dislike!
1. vampires. they are pointless, do nothing
2. one person is immortal, the other is not
3. student/teacher
4. is there ANYTHING more inane than soulmate mark AUs?? there is just nothing there.

Aug. 31st, 2017 04:08 pmPure self-indulgence, nothing of interest to anyone else. Summary: I have terrible taste lol. I like all the stupid straight-up pop songs and I dislike ballads. Also, all I care about is SM. This is a long-accepted truth.

Nov. 13th, 2011 11:24 pmI don't really "get" poetry but I like reading it lol. Actually I like reading poetry that's literally easy to read; I am legit super lazy and simple. Plus I don't think there is any inherent value in difficulty in art, in that I don't think being hard to understand makes things deeper or qualitatively better. I mean, it doesn't necessarily make it worse either; it's personal preference whether you enjoy it. For me, I like short poems that aren't too dense and that I can literally understand, or, failing that, just things I think are pretty. Anyway here are a bunch of my favorite poems.
( okay this got out of hand but i don't want to think about which ones to take out lol )
nablopomo is making me really feel how I don't have anything to say and how boring my life and I are. <semantic/syntax? I am not my life>

things I vaguely would like to do in life
- learn how to play the cello
- learn German
- take an intro calculus class and actually pay attention (I have NO IDEA how I passed it in high school, I skipped it all the time and I clearly remember not turning in a huge assignment)
- take a physics class and actually learn something (I paid attention in the physics classes I've taken so far but nothing's stuck)
- publish something shitty in a shitty nothing magazine
- learn how to ice skate
- learn how to surf
I'm so slow. Total time lag from the rest of the world. Now I know what I want to major/minor in, which classes I want to take, all that shit, but there's no time or money to do it. I'm a bit bummed because how extremely sexy would it have been to double minor in Education and Philosophy? Very very.

- aviator/earflap hat
- Sherlock Holmes hat
- dark bootcut jeans
- corset top
- dark thick tights (1 vertical ribbing, 1 patterned)
- burgundy coat
- cool ~party top
- yellow hat
- red jumper dress (FOREVER 21)
- classy party dress
- 'fun' party dress
Damnit I hate 'fun' 'party' 'clothes.' My fucking face is so young, I can never pull them off. I only feel the need to get some because I am terrified of the imaginary day when I will have to go out to a 'club' or wherever the young ones go to these days and I won't have anything to wear besides my striped Gap t-shirts and Costco camisoles.
It is simultaneously very exciting and slightly traumatizing to care about clothes. I am gathering momentum in my :O about clothes and the mall. The fucking MALL! The season doesn't help. I love winter clothes so much. SO MUCH. AMMMGH.

Oct. 23rd, 2008 12:01 pmun. THANKSGIVING
I have never been more excited about Thanksgiving. This year is like ESPECIALLY bad in terms of just wanting to leave, I am pretty much breathing so I can get to that weekend. Also obsessing about food. I just sit around thinking about things I get to eat.
deux. Mother's Cookies' Circus Animal Cookies
Ralph's is a fucking cockblock and doesn't have them. I am anxious and panicky! (at the disco). They stopped production on those cookies. They are not going to make any more of those cookies. Why doesn't Ralph's understand???
trois. grocery shopping in general
I need eggs, sandwich bread, lunch meat, and cheese. Maybe yogurt. How the hell do I get a Ralph's card? Ralph's is nexus of evil for me right now.
quatre. plans
I'm building up a list of self-indulgent things to do on Special Day. Most of these things revolve around food. I'm going to eat In n Out and red bean buns and maybe Subway or Quizno's and buy candy. I was thinking of maybe watching a movie but ehhh I'd really rather eat all day zomg.
cinq. [ ]
I haven't been thinking continuously about anything else besides FOOD lol wtf. ommmg I'm so hungry all the time D:
edit: OMG I got a reply back for my ANGRY EMAIL to Powell Library. Peas and christ.
edit: THE ADDAMS FAMILY IS ON! I was just thinking about that movie, like two days ago!! :D
edit: I just thought of a REALLY GOOD screen name!! It's not my One True Screen Name but it's really good! I might switch over one day.

Oct. 15th, 2008 10:13 pmI've been trying to think of the right word to describe Life Without Buildings all day. I know there's a word for what I'm thinking, I just can't access it. Anyway, Life Without Buildings: it is startling in how good it is, and in how it's good; it's such a... what is the word? It's like something I was waiting for. Startling, astonishing, disarming. It's like aliens heard us and created it on a different planet and put it down here. It's perfect in a way I didn't imagine, but listening to it, it's like "oh! of course! how could it have been done any other way?" GODDAMNIT HOW DO I SAY THIS??
Billiam Weckett from the Academy Is is super-cute 11 ft tall pixie stick. I still have the hugest truck-sized crush on their drummer. *___*
Daft Punk, so groovy!
For all the bitchin I do about the orchard of hipster dicktrees that is the world, I think I'm slowly realizing that... I'm... kind of... pretty much... an indie whore. An inexperienced one, but an indie whore nonetheless?
I recently realized that EP stands for Extended Play. I think I had previously found that out before, but I promptly forgot it. Whatever. Extended play! What a neat-o phrase! *sadly not sarcastic*
Lists of bands I'm not that familiar with!

3 From 33 1/3
33 1/3 is a series of books about a wide variety of seminal rock and pop albums. Join three of the authors for readings and special multimedia presentations. Hayden Childs’s Shoot Out the Lights puts into context Richard and Linda Thompson’s album—from the personal history driving the songs, to the recording difficulties they encountered and the subsequent fall-out. He has appeared in Lost in the Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed. Kim Cooper’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea sheds light on the underground classic album by Neutral Milk Hotel. Cooper is the editor of Scram, and co-editor of the anthologies Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth and Lost in the Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed. Scott Plagenhoef’s If You’re Feeling Sinister provides perspective on how Belle & Sebastian transformed from a cult secret into a polished, highly entertaining, mainstream pop group. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Pitchfork.
