101. I heart you! I know what you mean, too! Every now and again, something will remind me how friggen amazing a band they are. How they're all incredibly talented musicians with tight harmonies and clever, evocative lyrics, blink-and-you-miss-it wit who don't take themselves too seriously, know how to have fun, and have the best balance on all of their albums that I've heard. One time, it was just their remake of Disney's "Grim Grinning Ghosts"--it's just a joke, but it's still incredible.
And I'd love to try and get my friends to understand why I love that band so much, especially since their music is a lot more accesible to the average person than Great Big Sea (my favourite band)...and they just...don't get it. It's like "Oh, BareNaked Ladies? They did that 'One Week' song back in the nineties, right?" Well, yes, but they're not a nineties one-hit-wonder band, and however fun and catchy their radio hits are, the rest of their stuff blows it out of the water.

They're a great band. Don't fear your friends' judgement. Be bold. (My friends don't get it, but they don't mind it.)


106. Well, somebody beat me to it.


111. I don't see why you'd have to re-read the books in English. When we canon-thump, it tends to be because people get canon (ie: Draco is a clever little whiny brat without a spine) confused with fanon (ie: Draco is only a brat because he had such a horrible home life, he's secretly a mastermind of the highest caliber who runs away because he's smart, not scared, and just needs a hug. And also, evil is sexy). I think that the overall interpretation of the books, the characters, and the actions therein would be very much the same, regardless of the language. I mean, you'll have to write your app in English (sorry), but that doesn't seem to be a problem for you. Just make sure your canon answers aren't surface-level, be sure to let us know English isn't your first language, and do your best. Good luck!


112. Eh, I do both. I enjoy overanalyzing things, but there are times when I just like letting it go. It's just a truth that the average nerd is a nerd because we love nitpicking. Nothing wrong with not liking it. But I think the difference between really enjoying something and being in its fandom is simply that.


125. I think people find it hip to hate Joss Whedon. I mean, if you hate him, fine, that's cool. But it's this whole "OMIGOSH, WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE HIM!!! I WISH THEY HATED HIM AS MUCH AS I DID!!!!!!!11!!" that pisses me off.
I don't find his jokes old. I found his writing, especially on Firefly to be clever, fun, and wacky, and there's plenty of lines that my friends and I still quote, years later. Heck, it's influenced the way I talk more than any other book or show I can think of off-hand.
He may kill characters because of the rush of power. Or he may do it because he feels like that's where his story should go. Personally, I still rage over him killing Wash--there was no reason to--but I don't hate him, and I certainly don't think he sucks, because I've very much liked everything of his I've seen.
Gosh. Sorry that the fact that I enjoy stuff annoys you.


128. Who is that artist? That's so familiar.


135. YES!!!! Oh man, yes! I totally channel Pearl when I feel the need to be loud and in charge.


148. I can't even fantasize about actors or celebrities who are married. The one time I did it, it involved the fantasy taking place ten years ago, before he was married. I didn't mind the idea of him and a then-girlfriend splitting up, but I still felt dirty all over because he and his wife seem just too sweet.


150. I'm inclined to agree. It's gotten to the point (and got ther awhile ago) where I'm not even annoyed or angry anymore. I just kind of stopped caring about her. She's still on my watch list, but I don't usually bother to even check. Not only is it more of the same, but she does have that attitude of...what, entitlement? Just leaves me feeling meph.


153. Well, considering that their "love" of each other is their only actual defining characteristic, I'd have to say that sounds about right.

155. Lolz. I haven't even bothered to finish DN (I know what happens and all, though), but I figure I care more about him than I do most of the main characters.

156. I know the feeling. ^_^

157. It's been pointed out that you certainly can't judge this one by its cover. Pretty, minimalistic, effective. Unlike the book.

164. Honestly, when I went and read the actual book (I mean the Baum books), the Wizard really freaked me the crap out, sending a little girl to kill someone she'd never met, offering only the excuse "She's wicked and must be killed!"

123. STARGATE WAS SUPERIOR. Seriously. Every plot in that movie was taken from SG-1 and that's all I could see.

125. I dunno. I've loved his run on Runaways and Astonishing X-Men. He's probably the best writer Marvel has had.

#123 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-06-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
STARGATE ALWAYS DOES IT BETTER.

And I mean seriously, the moment I heard the new Indy film was going to involve a crystal skull, I thought, "Oh wow, I love this episode of SG1!" I wish I could discuss it with my friends, but they a) don't watch Stargate, and b) would think I'm just being an obsessive fan.

109. Link/Zelda :P

119. I fangirl like all of those! Hahaha.

131. *Stupid idiot* Okay ya'll. /I am a total n00b. D: I have been wondering for about 290 years now.

140. Ahahahaha. DOOO ITTT. I wanna watch. :P

149. Omg. So, no one cares about this, but a long time ago I downloaded a Tokyo Mew Mew video game for GBA to play on the computer. It was completely in Japanese and was mostly a visual-novel kind of thing? Anyways. Last night I played it to stay awake while I talked to my boyfriend. It had a whole bunch of slider-puzzle things. Yeahh. I've only seen like 5 eps of Tokyo Mew Mew, though, and they were actually "Mew Mew Power" because they were the dub.
Yay! Story over?

156. Aww. You should have talked. You guys could have had a beautiful lovee.

Hmmm. I've watched a little bit of the show but then I lost mai cable and I never watched it again. It was very interesting, though.

Weren't there lesbians or something on there?

101) Everything to Everyone was the last album of theirs I bought and it rocks pretty hard.

113) Delicious.

133) Math rocks. MIT has always been a bit too prestigious for my taste (hah hah see also I didn't get in), but if you get in, more power to you.

168) Fuck yes, Eric Johnson.

108 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-06-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't written them all. Most of them were left as a fantasy, just because they were too wangst-ridden and pointlessly horrible to actually write fic about. The dying-alone-and-miserable, psychosis, depression, paranoia, blind-deaf-mute, losing more limbs, (and sort-of schizophrenia as well) I've actually written out. electrocution and sensory deprivation appeared as subplots, and not as torture, either, but they did happen, in a way
If you're serious about links, I suppose I could try to come up with some way....

106. hahaha, I do stuff like that. not to my own secrets, but that general formula of "act like it's not me so people won't know it IS me."

156. I DO THE SAME in similar circumstances. D: sometimes managing to say "I like that too!" when butting in on a conversation gets me new friends, but most often I'm just too shy...>.<

165. me too! (I seem to have a penchant of replying only to secrets I can relate with) when I hear of a popular anime or something, I just read about it on wiki. unless it REALLY interests me, I usually never watch it, but I try to stay in the know.
