intrikate88LJ is reworked! Yes, my computer is dying and my external hard drive is on its last legs after a suicide attempt in Canada, but LJ, at the very least, has a new layout and I come, full of Christmas bounty, bringing a veritable cornucopeia of goodness.
FIRST OFF:

visionrevision writers are encouraged to gather, get to know each other, and be inspired by writing prompts. It keeps those writing juices flowing like a well-roasted turkey!
SECONDLY:
I wrote an essay/blogpost thing about Twilight (book version) and it was the most popular pseudo-18th-century paper in my Brit Lit class. I know all of you are just thrilled with Twilight, so I thought I'd link it here. Oh, those books are unbelievable.
Because the Only Thing Hotter than Sex With Edward Cullen Is a Horny Blind Man with No Coordination And a Frozen Glass Dildo.
Have fun.
(Ohgodohgod I'm actually writing Twilight fic. Only because the whole setup with a girl + bloodthirsty vampire is classic, yes? Meyers just has no powers of writing ever and it's obvious her editor's day job is snorting coke off dead cops' asses for the carnal enjoyment of strange giraffe-hybrid men and this comes through in the text so I'm just doing a bit of... revising. Of themes and such. Because exploring take a look at this fucked-up shit is faaaar more interesting than Twooo Wuv wins forever, you know? Oh, God, somebody wtih actual shame, stop me.)
LASTLY:
I hope everyone who celebrated Christmas had a good one, and can confidently look forward to next year, knowing that life has a decent probability of looking pretty much the same. That's a little questionable right now, in my family. But the world is a beautiful place.
(But my flist? Is of terrifying length. Hm.)

(If I had a girlfriend who wanted to see the movie, I'd go with her--the action looks okay--but I'm currently single.) I have heard tell of women who like aloof, mysterious guys (would that there were some of them around me), but not of women who like guys who threaten to kill them if they have smoochies. Dangerous is one thing--I have a thing for Faith, after all--but I suspect if she likes me she's going to go ahead and snog, not warn me that she might kill me by knocking me on my ass.

Date: 2008-12-26 10:37 pm (UTC)The movie is hilarious, you just have to go into it thinking it's a vampire movie spoof. But the girlfriend scenario really is the optimal one, I would think. And yes, it's true, women DO fantasize about mysterious dangerous men, but only partly- that's just the fantasy. Another part of it is that the ladies want a gentleman who's confident in his identity, enough so that he won't be terrified of HER confidence (and then become an emotional leech.) In some ways, a man like that wouldn't be absolutely harmless. But Twilight, really, is just pure preteen-girl porn, with all the accompanying non-self-aware, immature fantasy.
Which is to say do not obsessively stalk the women you like, while wearing glitter and a scowl. I doubt it will get you a date, but it may get you a restraining order.
Oh, Faith. Don't we all have a thing for Faith. :P
