Just got off the phone with my gal and one of the subjects was the straightening up of my room, in more ways than one. Where do i start? What do i hide first? The Ed Wood novels? The Anne Rice bondage trilogy? The Harry Potter porn journal? The Betty Page memorabilia? Do i take down the huge and delicious and mostly nude and lewd poster of Bjork that graces the headboard? (nope) How about Suzan Lovett's slash prints that are just too good to keep hidden? Or the printed out slash laying about the place, or the pictures and cards from my sweetie pie? Or (and this is the topper) the postcard of Wonder Woman plastered on my computer case? As if they could find anythign incriminating under all my filth.
I'm not trying to brag in a "ooo, get her, she's so tuff and kewl" thing, that's just how my room is. I don't think about what it looks like to normal people, because normal people don't bother to drop in. Thank god.
I'm seriously getting enamored of LJ these days. I remember ribbing the whole online journal phenomenon and saying that this is for people who don't have enough social skills to be on a mailing list, but as you can see, i'm a whole new person now. In fact, as Vali pointed out, this may be the new alternative to mailing lists. After all, you can say what you want, go off topic as much as possible, get fic updates and recs, and you can stop in with the people you want to see as much as you want. You don't have to stay on topic. That's a big problem for me. I like talking to people on mailing lists, but i can't stay on the subject with *anything.* I'm selfish as well-- i want everyone i know to get a LJ so i can do the voyeur thing and have a nice cozy chat allll the time.
And Vali? I didn't hear *you* complaining when Ron and Harry were giving it to you but good, so quit whining and start knitting those fluffy pink blankies! :-) Motherhood looks good on my chick, she's all rosy and stuff.
Mmm. sleepy. long day of suckitude tomorrow. off to bed.
p.s. Ian Hart is going to play Quirrell. Sweeeet! I haven't heard from his hot self in many a moon.
