I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

Years of exposure to fandom have caused me to develop a hefty appreciation for the absurd and ridiculous.
I make my own head-crushy fun.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Katie, how could you ever have guessed?
She tortured me with a few choice excerpts.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That bad, eh?
Eep.

Oh, yeah.
Okay, so it's probably payback for all the days I went trolling ff.net and tortured her, but still. Cruel *and* unusual.

Hey, if anyone has a moment, I had an emergency remix I wrote last night after my guests left/this morning after I got up. Fueled by wine and sleep dep.
It's 3000 words. I don't need a beta pass (I've sent it off to Victoria already, so errors get to stay in), just someone to reassure me that the person I remixed won't leap through the monitor and strangle me.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oh look! It's Micole. Cover for me while I run for the other direction! t g
Actually, I haven't installed AIM at work, since I really can't afford to be sucked into IM there. At home, I usually forget about turning it on all together, since it's attached to Netscape and I use IE. 'Cause I'm dim like that.
So stop with the pouting, you silly girl. You very well know that you're my first and favoritest online bud. t kicks Micole in the pants affectionately

I'd be happy to take a look at it, Plei.

Though I'm awed. It took me two weeks and much whining at betas to do my measly 2200-word thingie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I haven't installed AIM at work, since I really can't afford to be sucked into IM there.
I used to not, and now I have it up all day. I think part of it is that my AIM habits have changed since I got broadband at home -- when I was on a dialup, I used to have hours-long AIM convos much like the hours-long long-distance phone conversations I was replacing with it.
Now, with me and my most frequent correspondents (my BF and my Evil Twin) all broadbanded, I tend to leave the connection open all the time and have shorter exchanges throughout the day. More like being in the same house but not necessarily the same room with someone -- I might call out to them if I need to talk to them about something specific, or just drift through and say something for a few minutes in passing, but I'm less likely to have a single conversation that goes on at length. And it's only now that I've gotten used to the latter way of IMing that I feel like I can do it at work without completely frelling my meagre productivity.
And, really, my personal AIM sociology has nothing to do at all with fic, except I, uh, sometimes do quickie-betas over AIM.
