I've been friended by four people in the last couple of days. This has brought on a small flutter of paranoia, as a spate of friending does tend to. I wonder where you've come from, what you're expecting of me, precisely how I should write to keep you.

And then I remember that my flatmate fed me wine, and we're watching amores perros which is possibly spelt differently tonight, and I stop worrying and learn to love the bomb. YAY BOMB!

I resent my coworkers, by the way. Because as a part of the training course there was this ridiculous 'what colour do you think of your coworker as?' exercise. And for me? They chose beige.

Beige.

I'm not beige, right?



In other news, this absolutely and completely hurts my brain. I'm not one to comment on current events very often, because I'm not particularly savvy or up to date and my thought trains are meandering enough that I'd only end up hurting myself. But I heard this on the radio and actually stopped dead, mid-walk home. The BBC website is a little more helpful than classic FM news (shut up, I'm still cool) and mentions the fact that investigations are still underway and that charges will most likely be brought and so on, but it's just such a nothing measure.

Being in the army, seems like, is like being president of the galaxy. The majority of those who want to do it shouldn't be allowed the job.


Like I said, meandering. Never mind, eh.

Ugh, I could never be in the Military. The second I saw someone shoot a civilan, I would probably have shot them. That's not good for making friends, or so I've been told.

It's not even just this. It's this whole feeling I get from the Powerful People over your side (and mine, sometimes, oh Tony my Tony bite my shiny metal ass) that no one who is not English speaking matters. Read that sentence through again, I swear it makes sense. It's... the idea that America gets to decide who can have nookelar weapons and who can't. I'm not saying that Iran should have nuclear capabilities, I'm saying if America is so fucking against it then give up the power you have.

I'm with Brutha on this one. Bargain from a position of weakness. Voluntary weakness.

I defend America always against casual bashing, just as I will defend anything that is bashed easily and without thought, pretty much regardless of my feelings on any individual matter. (There are, of course, exceptions. I am human.) But it's my friendslist that makes me feel like there's hope, not anything I hear from official channels.

Er. I'm not ranting at you, sorry. I'm just ranting in your direction.

I'm not beige, right?

Nah. More the colour of those spots in the front of old books - russet. "Foxed".

(Classic FM! EEEH!)

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

It's a good rant.

I am like the least cool person in the world ever. I got a new mobile which has a CAMERA and can make VIDEOS and SURF THE WEB and plan a fuckin' TRAINING REGIME FOR ME and all that, and I was like... yeah yeah yeah OMG I CAN GET THE RADIO!

There was the most unbelievably gorgeous John Tavener on this morning.

And? I can no longer hear the Toreador song from Carmen (which is possibly not called that) without singing the Beer Song by They Might Be Giants.

Bastards. XD

Meh, it meanders like a train through the pennines. One day I will learn to be coherent and make sense. For now I run fuelled entirely by Emotion, having left the driver of Logic eating corned beef sarnies somewhere.

*sigh*

*shifty*

Um.

I friended you so that you could see something on my LJ if you were so inclined? Something horrid and bitchy?






Also I wuv you?

:D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's how my rants work. We get down to the logic eventually. Steaming off the emotion is a good start.

...

Beige? What is wrong with those people?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

So uncool you go out the other side into cool again - and woo, my phone stil does nothing more advanced than call people so I have to keep piking other people's in order to, say, take photos of Converse with Kermit The Frog On Them. *g*

Hehehe. Brilliant bastards - the proprietor of an Italian cafe opposite one of my old workplaces got me addicted to Classic FM and didn't disturb me writing porn. I have *good* associations with that station!

...You couldn't be beige if you tried.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

I come from the planet Mars.



Hmm. I ain't got no witty "I come from X," really. Uh. I friended you because you seemed interesting?

[sophistry]

...I don't know what everyone seems to have against beige.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

It's dull, and dependable, and it doesn't stand out. Reliable, I guess. Completely unexciting.

It's fine as a colour. It sucks as a personality description.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

It has been another in a series of Days.

*shrugs*

I'm glad you feel better, anyway.

I expect nothing other than what your already doing.

[lamis-p.livejournal.com]

I friended you recently. Hello ::waves::

Your journal seemed interesting, your interests were interesting (crowley's tongue and theirloveissorhymingcouplet - Heee), and you seemed nice.

If it helps any, and it may not, when people say "beige" to me, I think; "home-made shortbread just out of the oven, so hot that you can see the steam rising from it; you know you'll hurt your mouth and hands if you go for it, but how can you possibly resist?"
