This meme is never particularly successful but I always do it anyway - I think I'd like to pretend I'm less enormously voluble than I actually am.

Is there anything that you want to know about me? And how I work? Apart from the fact that I am a scarily enthusiastic LSA who is entirely too eager about jumping on fandom bandwagons?

Anon posting on, IP logging off, blah blah. :)


I've been in a consistently dreadful mood for a while, now, and I really can't work out what it is. I think it might be something related to the fact that I'm on the pill for the first time, actually - I'm gonna check over my journal and see when it started. Today I'm... mostly serene, though; vaguely pissed off at the fellow LSAs who decided to skip lessons today, if only because I like them all and don't want them to get caught for doing so so often. I'm waiting impatiently to see if my uni tutor will provide a reference for me, 'cos if she says no I have no idea who to turn to save for begging my f-list. I'm reading Temeraire: Throne of Jade and just enjoying it ridiculous amounts, although the amount of OMG THEYARESOINLOVE moments are really worrying me. Life is okay, and I have yet to yell at anyone or burst into tears today, so maybe I'm sorting.

If I remain reasonably scarce over the next few days, though, it's only to save your f-list the whining. ;)

The attraction of children's lit. Speak on.

Hmm.

I think the attraction for me is that it's all about the story. There's no linguistic sleight of hand or post-modernist posturing, just (hopefully) well told stories with endings that aren't going to make you lose faith in all humanity, generally - I remember being so betrayed when I read adult books and realised that sometimes things didn't end okay. Things're allowed to be shiny in kids fic, too, and things don't need ridiculously convoluted bend-over-backwards explanations. Sometimes it's okay just to find an angel in your shed.

Also... Johnny Maxwell books. Kids ask the questions that we're trained not to, look at the world in a completely different way, and are generally far more open to things, and children's lit kinda makes me relive that a little, I guess.

(These are my hypnotisey 'that totally made sense' eyes.)

Question: Do you believe you will ever have a truly concrete and lasting friendship with someone? Or does everyone put up one too many walls for that to be possible?

I think it is something that I want more than possibly anything else, but I also think that I'm quite probably incapable of it.

Permanently incapable or currently? Given the magic of change and all.

Iiiiiiii... would like to think just currently. Which is why I'm glad LJ is functional because it means I can keep up with people without having to put my utter crap 'keeping up with people' powers to the test.

I... kinda hope that the changes I am/have been making will eventually lead to a person that is actually able to have a friendship that lasts and succeeds and involves regular contact and doesn't eventually involve intense paranoia or neglect, but right now it's a Tookhope.

Tookhope?

I think I can rather get behind that, to be honest. If I didn't have LJ I'd probably not manage to keep up with *anyone*.

Fingers crossed and pile on a little optimism. I have faith in you. ;)

God, that is a ridiculously hot icon.

*licks it*

(Tookhope as in Gandalf and Pippin onna balcony - "just a fool's hope.")

And... thank you. That statement... that means more to me than it should. It's very nice to hear.

*clings just a little*

It's the intensity of the stare that does it. You know he's guest-presenting Have I Got News For You on Friday?

Gotcha. And :P, I know how much it means to have someone believe in you, that's why I told you. This is why, despite your occasional attempts to tell people to fuck off because you don't think you're worth it or whatever the reason, we stick. Because you are worth it.
