Always look on the bright side of life

HAH. HAH.

Oven problem has been determined, and I go to Radio Shack tonight to find missing fuses.

Keep your fingers crossed, people. *knocks on wood*

Also I have The Decemberists stuck in my head. The ENTIRETY of the Crane Wife album in various snips and snatches, to be precise.

(Also our office printer is making disturbing noises and people will not stop using it. WTF.)

And, for your patience in sticking with me thus far, a meme!

Reply to this and I will...
1)Tell you why I friended you.
2)Associate you with a song/movie.
3)Tell a random fact about you.
4)Tell my first memory of you.
5)Associate you with an animal/fruit.
6)Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7)In return, you MUST spread this disease in your lj.

(Okay, seriously. STOP USING THIS PRINTER. I AM FULL OF HATE.)

1). I friended you because of Milliways, in part, and because you always have strong opinions, and I like to reconsider my own in light of those. Additionally you have a very interesting taste in poetry and music and things, and I've been introduced to some stuff I'd never have tried out on my own, which is spiff. And you are hilarious. It's good times.
2). I associate you with a lot of Sufjan Stevens, and it is entirely your own fault. If forced to choose something not that, ummm. *considers* Poolhall Junkies, the movie.
3). You were immensely gleeful at the potential of Bernard getting glittered. I think there was cackling.
4). I remember my first thread with Bernard, which I think you pinged me after to say hi and things, and I was gobsmacked. The first really really firm memory is shortly before Doverplot, when we were chatting and you were really welcoming and things. It was great, because it was my first week or so in-game and I was terrified.
5). Wolfhound. I have this impression of you being larger than life.
6). What is it that draws you to particular poems, or to particular objects of art. Is it style, is it the meaning behind it, is it just the way it makes you feel when you see/read it?

(And yeah, I shall steal a 6 b) and go why DO we so rarely thread? I think this should be fixed. *resolved*)

(YEAH. I am trying to re-form my game collective after neglecting everyone but Meg and Soph and Karen for so long, and I am dying to play with you. :-*)

Um.

I don't know.

I think it's a combination. It's use of language and a sort of hyper-meta awareness of language and culture. You see that in Robbins, in Doty, in Stevens.

Making connections among seemingly unconnected objects, concepts.

I'm not articulate.

But Robbins makes me want to weep, he's so clever with his language. And some people hate that cleverness.

How could you hate a man who writes this:

This sentence has lost its period

Anyway.

Blah!
