i just defriended a lot of people. like, a lot of people. this is not because i don't like these people- this is because i have no time on the internet to do my own thing and check my fpage, so i got rid of all the people i don't feel that i have a relationship with. i like you, i just don't know you that well.

if you've recently changed usernames and you're thinking, "but emily! we are friends! you just deleted me because i changed my username so of course you don't know who i am! you're confused!", then this is your chance to tell me.

ANON POST

taken from [info]saykendrawithme, who took it from [info]immortal_lights.

I want anybody and everybody who comes across this
to leave me an anonymous comment. It can be anything you want.
A story. A secret. A confession. A fear. A love. ANYTHING.
Just post anonymously and honestly.


I hate when people force poetry because they think it makes things easier to deal with if you make them sound pretty, or at least pretty enough that people pity you, and I know half of you are gonna do that, but I'm doing this anyway. Partly for those of you who don't, and partly because now that I've ranted about it those of you who would probably won't. If I hear a goddamn thing about pits at shows or sunsets or converse sneakers or laughter I will cut a bitch. You know what I mean. Talk like a normal person, not like a blogger. Talk like you're telling me out loud.

Stories are encouraged! Don't feel pressured to have a point. Don't try to make this bigger than it is. It can be huge if you want it to, but just telling me about where you went with your friends today is okay, too, if that's what you really feel like doing. Just don't force it, okay?

In honor of Ryan Ross' Sesame Street-style music recs, and my an alliterative conversation I had with Arielle today, here is an unreasonable amount of my favorite music by bands and artists that start with the letter "B".

30 odd songs under the cut: punk to doo-wap to pop to electro to rap. Booyah!

Artists include Baby Bash, Bad Religion, Buddy Holly, Barry Mann, Big Japan, Between the Trees, Brand New, The Boy Least Likely To..., Busedriver, Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, etc.

Clink on for the music!

This is a music sharing post, in response to Kaleigh's mixtape (it's locked- if you know her, then you know what's going on, and if you don't, then just download the music here because it's good). So these songs were compiled on a theme; part one is basically about how fucked up the world is, and part two is (equivalent to her part three) and is about how we deal with it. Songs of help and of hope. \o/ It's literally c/p'd from a comment on her journal, so if bits are addressed to "you", just ignore them. Unless you're Kaleigh, obviously. Also, Midtown is excluded from this list because she knows it, but for everyone else, GO LISTEN TO FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW.

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO ESS AND SAM. [Jan. 1st, 2009|04:59 pm]
[Tags|]

OKAY SO.

I read an amazing fic yesterday. It was well-written and lovely both in phrasing and in sentiment; you rooted for the good guys and cursed the band ones. It was all in all, wonderful.

But it had an unhappy ending.

So I left a comment about how much I adored it, along with my usual rant about unhappy endings. Sam and Ess in particular will be familiar with my woes on the subject.

It included this question, albeit jokingly: "WHY DO ALL THE GOOD WRITERS HAVE TO TORTURE THEIR CHARACTERS SO MUCH? ;_; WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO YOU?"

The author (the wonderful [info]ourgossip_lips, by the way. And the fic in question is this) responded as such, which seems to be basically the default answer: "THE TORTURE IS WHAT MAKES IT ~FUN. And... I don't want to say "real," because that is very woe-is-the-world, and I try not to be like that, but seriously? Woe is the world. It had to be sad lol."

To which I replied: ";_; i pity the fool who finds happiness in misery, if you don't mind me quoting liberally from both Pete Wentz and Mr. T. If you're doing it for realism, then it's art. If you're doing it for fun, then it's still just fanfiction. And if it's art, then why use characters that already exist? Why make ~~living people suffer in the minds of author and audience? Why not create fictional characters that reflect the world in which we live through metaphor? And hey, loads of people in small towns have happy endings. It's not like every single couple is miserable, so who's to say it's "realistic"? Possible, yes. More realistic than a happy ending? No. And let's assume that everyone has both misery and joy in their lives, which is a pretty fair assumption, in my opinion. Why choose to write about the misery and not the joy? Of course, small amounts of misery make for good plot; there is now an obstacle to overcome. And little doses or misery make the joy all the more sweet. But stories that ~end miserabley? I simply don't see the point, besides that the author 1) would rather watch other suffer to make themselves feel happier, 2) is miserable themselves and would rather bring others down to their level, in text if not in life or 3) doesn't understand that there is joy in life, and that happy endings are possible. And in that final case, the author should seek help, if they are not already receiving it."

And then I told her that this all has nothing to do with her and I am gonna post this in my journal because this is really, really not directed at her. I only mentioned her name because the fic was LOVELY and you should all go read it.

I'm leaving this public so she can see it, if she cares to look.











TL;DR IF I'M GIVEN THE CHOICE TO THINK ABOUT HAPPY OR SAD THINGS, WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE SAD THINGS? WHAT BENEFIT IS THERE BESIDES SADISM AND FURTHER MISERY?

So, I had this idea today.

And it's a little radical, even for me.

But, like, I was talking to [info]secrethitmen about this a week or two ago, and it's really the only time I've properly expressed my views about this whole appearance, thing, so brace for ( tl;dr )

...And that's why I'm shaving my head for breast cancer!

Yes. It's a good cause, and you actually have the ability to do something that most people couldn't. Besides, you have that hat!
33 (100.0%)

No. It's weird, you could look awful, and you might offend people who are close to those who are suffering/scare people who think you actually have cancer.

THE "COBRA AND HONEY GET BACK TOGETHER" FICATHON/MEME!


Do they get drunk and reminisce about the good old days? Do they murder Hayley together and fall back in love with each other's viciousness? Do they just yell at each other until one of them grabs and kisses the other? WHO KNOWS? [info]rhombal DOESN'T, MOST LIKELY! YOU SHOULD WRITE IT.

Friends Cut [Sep. 6th, 2008|06:32 pm]
Friends cut- my flist was too much for me to handle. If you got cut, it doesn't mean I don't like you (I added you for a reason, right?)- it means I can't always remember who you are/what's going on in your life without checking, or else that I added you years ago and we never talk and have nothing in common.

Also, no-one added in the past month or two was cut, so you can all calm down.
