Jan - Week 4

[bhanesidhe]

Jan 22 - There comes a time in every persons life when they realizes they can't go another minute without watching a John Hugh's film. Appalled to have learned that my life-long friend J has never seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", today is one of those rare and beautiful days. She called out of work, we searched out the DVD [Bueller . . . Bueller . . . Edition], scrapped together the funds and hid-out with cheap take out and too many quilts.

Immediately After Viewing:

V - SO for me, growing up there was only Cameron and Duckie.
J - OOH! Duckie <3 *swoons*
V - They were Mighty Mice among men, the perfect in imperfection. I was convinced no one could ever appreciate them as much as I did.
J - That's beautiful and only a little bit sad. Yeah, I would have died for Duckie, Andie's was a bitch. And Cameron... he's special!
V - I so wanted to be Sloane. I wanted to be the girl hanging out with those boys. I wanted to be beautiful and appealing. Except I wanted to marry Cameron because I knew Ferris was sooo out of my liege.
J - Very over the top. Who lives like that? Always scheming, never getting caught.
V - And the more I realized none of that would EVER happen the more pissed off I got and the less I cared about anything. School, family, whatever.
J - Yeah, I was always the tomboy hanging with the guys but I never trusted or liked them much. They were drooling jerks.
V - I know, that's why I ended up scheming more on my own . . . I was always amazingly lucky enough to land on my feet. Like with the accidental trip to Canada to get the Good Beer ^^; OH My God! You know, I just realized, I fucking am Ferris!
J - oh shit! You're right, like the time we climbed the fence at *evidence deleted* and even after the student was questioned no one knew it was us. Or the gang by the corner and the *evidence deleted* whole lot had to be emptied! That was awesome!
V - Hell yeah it was!
J - I'm certainly more of a Sloane. I was always sort of standing quietly on the edge wondering--
V - Oh bitch! You've never been quiet in your whole damn life. You were born swearing. Who the fuck are you kidding; on any given day you're Cameron to my Ferris. Every fence I ever climbed, where the hell were you?
J - right beside you--
V - And every scam I ever ran, who was on the other end of the line feigning pneumonia to my doctor-like tones.
J - o_0; Oh my god, I'm Cameron!! I'm awesome!
V - I still have this half a mortar brick as proof!
J - Hah! I wanted to keep the brick :(
V - Exactly. That's all I'm saying. Now that we know where we stand, life is perfect. . . *dramatic sigh* If only we had a Duckie.
J - fuck that, we need Pretty In Pink now. I'm going to Blockbuster.
V - Of course you are ^_^ bring back coffee! Black, four sugars. XD
J - Fuck you, Ferris. Evil fucking conspirator.
V - I just plant the seeds Cameron, you're bullshit makes it grow!!

Honestly; the thing about Sloane, is that pretty as she is she is delightfully necessary. Not one scheme they ran would have worked without her. She's grounded center in their vortex of stupid. Charismatic, obsessive, impulsive stupid, but stupid nonetheless.

Our party has never had a successful Sloane, we've very much been the dynamic duo. But this evening as it is wouldn't be possible without a beautiful and influential Clio to supply the source for our stupidity.

FIC: Duckie Dale/Cameron Frye by jlh which is so choice!

Jan 23 - I'm so sad. http://wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html swallowed up my everything today.

Jan 24 -

Jan 25 -bowdlerized is my hero of the month, because I can finally get that Phil Collin's cover out of my head, having now heard the track to death, not that it isn't good. Not at all as it is resplendent but that's just my obsessive-compulsive opinion. See for yourselves.

Postal Service - Against All Odds (Phil Collins cover)
Sex Pistols - My Way [Frank Sinatra Cover] - listening-essential as it is the track that started the addiction [for me]
Gary Jules - Mad World [Tears for Fears Cover] - because this is both beautiful and one of the most listening-essential covers to come out this generation.

Jan 26 - Had a fucking ruin of a day. This having nothing at all to do with weather. I swear.

The one [remarkable] plus; got T-Shirts from Em + Chris and I think I may want to buried in them as there are more perfect than I imagine they could be upon first opening. Seriously, they meld to my flesh <3

Jan 27 - Had a last minute fuck-off to make up for yesterday and kidnapped and syndara & jlh for Margaritas + Shortbus. There are no better ways to end a week. EVER. Yay John Cameron Mitchell! Yaaaay, porn! There is NO doing wrong in this equation.

Jan 28 - I don't see myself as a writer, although essentially I do write. Can't make a comic without scripts. Can't claim plot bunnies without segmented structure. It's that rule, the undeniable where "there can be no walls without ceilings" and trying to defying that rule just makes your world crumble.

The only way I know how to love comics is equal parts art and writing, not that I personally get much attention for the later. Because to me carrying a sketchbook is as second nature as carrying a wallet. Fact is, my current wallet is a worn Moleskine, so habits like that don't exactly lend to the writing responsibilities.

Even when I take commissions and challenges it's always for fan art not fanfic. It's just the way things flow… but then I have a week like this week, where I watch a TV program and I see a flaw in character consistency. Where I read a book and see a dangling plot hole begging to be poked at. It's like cancer to my creative cogs and my brain just rolls the concept over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over until I can't sleep because I NEED to fix this thing and make it better My Way!

And suddenly I hate myself for not having a piece of paper and a pen [drawing pens don't count. You can't write with those, not really. If you do you only feel guilty afterward.] Just to jot down the specs of this newest brain cancer going to eat my every waking moment. It's at hate-filled crazy desperate moments like these that I need steal some child's Puppy Dog $1 notepad and ride on a subway heading nowhere just so I can't be interrupted/distracted that I realize I am writer. Not because I want to be, probably not because I'm even good at it, but because I need to be and that I'm just fucking cursed. Doomed even. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

God. I wish I could sleep. My whole day-off, not one wink.

1) YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. And King Bumi, of course.

2) I laugh at your writing affliction, but OUR PAIN IS ONE AND THE SAME. -_-;;;;;

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

1)

brought to you by the isLove Generator

2)AND SUCH PAINS IT IS! I can't even stand to hear myself talk about a future plot, like ew.

Songs = awesomeness. Would you also like a Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street?

Dude, I think I just rode the train home from Brooklyn with the chick from the movie last night! Seriously!

I don't know why it took you this long to see that you are Ferris. You are certainly the Ferris in my life.

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

Songs? Well, Of Course! Like I would ever say not to this.

The stupid UNI girl! You know, with all the measures we took to avoid such a thing >_>

Because Ferris knows he's cool and I still don't fucking get why I would be

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Have sent link to you for the song!

Oh, no, not THAT girl. The actress from the movie, the "couples counselor"!

But you do acknowledge that you have varied and mysterious powers to make things happen, right? Anyway, I'm not sure Ferris knows he's cool so much as he knows he's cooler than most people he knows and also, he can project cool, which is also true of you.

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Just downloaded it. Will check it outs when I get back home. There are still various kid-related responsibilities costing me time and patience.

REALLY?! how awesome is that. I would have fan-girled but I am shameless. Pepsi says you should have asked how she likes her eggs XD

I can not argue this Pro-Ferris!Val logic and honestly why would I ^_^

[abrexis.livejournal.com]

...accidental trip to Canada?

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

erm, yes. It happened exactly as such; we were in Washington State searching for the "better" beer and ended up in Canada not knowing how but having achieved the better beer . . . and no identification with which to get home by

There are other specifics, but they're kind of foggy.^^;

[abrexis.livejournal.com]

Haha, I had an accidental trip to London but it was far less exciting than crossing countries. It did involve beer though, and discovering that I bear an uncanny resemblence to jarvis cocker. How are you anyway? I've been shit at keeping in touch xx

[hlaron.livejournal.com]

I'm another person who's never seen Ferris Beuller, somehow, at least not properly. I've seen the same half dozen fragments a thousand times, but never the intervening portions. It's kind of irritating actually, I don't think it's possible for me to watch the film now without being incredibly impatient at random.

Also, Avatar fanart, yay! *does the pawing thing*

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

That is such a sad-sad thing as seeing Ferris Bueller is such a coming of age thing as in religious as in your family has every right to kick you out of your generation. There is always the option of having a viewing at mine XD

[muldr4scly.livejournal.com]

I went to see Shortbus. I only really heard about it because I was at the L Word Convention and one of the cast mentioned it...I'm glad I went :)

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

That's right! The girl who plays Max plays Little Prince, and she was adorable. There is really nothing else I can say about Shortbus without coming off as uppity ^^;

[muldr4scly.livejournal.com]

Heh yeah :)
*hugs* you don't need to say anything.

[will-2001.livejournal.com]

Fuck Blaine, fuck him in his yuppie ass. Andie should have gone with the Duckman.

Sid's butchering of "My Way" rocks. I want that played at my funeral. Here's the video:

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

Truth be told the Duckman deserved better than Andie could EVER give him. My hand to god.

That video, AWESOME by the way!

[emsariel.livejournal.com]

Those pics are even prettier in color. Rock on!

[bhanesidhe.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I try. CG not being my strong suit... but I wanted them to be badge-size for further con going intentions XD
