raw idealism and random hobbies over pointless cynicism and boring nights

1. pen and paper roleplaying over your hobby
2. deconstructed over archetypical over stereotypical
3. fairytale over myth (t. rex over led zeppelin)
4. community over individualism over mindless followers
5. wonder over awe
6. freedom over privacy over safety
7. pop music before 1950 over pop music, 1990+ over pop music, 1950 to 1990
8. wisdom over

many of these anger me

[animate]

but #28 & #33 and your recent post was awesome. should really read up on the absurdities of this whole thing.

i'd rather hear about what angered you than what was awesome

[glazomaniac]

let's tumble, sir!

maaaan, why do this [stop staring w/ those sodomy eyez]

[animate]

Well, my knee jerk reaction was that your vampire hatred was in response to the overwhelmingly stoopid Twilight bullshit around, but I know you better, so I know you must have other reasons, none of them I probably care to hear, tho all of them i'd probably respect. I also just came back from a good 8 hr vampire rp sesh and reading that comment kinda irked me. And, how can you say 'original creatures' over...anything? Can you even make original creatures w/out treading some ground on common archetypes/tropes? And are they fun to play as/against? And why faeries over all this other less-gay shit?

See, theres really no reason to tumble over any of this, it's all opinion, I don't know your system/mind, you don't know mine, blah blah.

faeries fit into the trickster archetype which Billy loves.

Wow dude, 7 & 14 suggest that we are possibly on different planets.

[flightviolation]

14, i mean for real, unless there's somethin i don't know?
katherine is a badass strong sharp tongued artistically sarcastic regal woman
and audrey is like a preening giant eyebrowed couture doll sellin old navy?

[glazomaniac]

let me be clear: when i say "pop music," i mean specifically the genre of "vocal" pop or however you want to classify it. what i am really saying is

al bowlly over the backstreet boys over debbie gibson.

i like all of them (well, not debbie gibson so much), but that's my general order of preference.

and as for 14, katharine is great and all, but audrey is a long-time crush/icon, a physical form to aspire to (well, not quite so skinny, but--) rather than any comment on either's greater metaphysical or dramatic substance. on that criteria, see #33.

[hotlavamonster]

OK, I can get down with that pop description. You can imagine how widely that was open to differing interpretations.

Can't change people's minds on this, but will make a quick note that Katharine is also 1) a crush 2) an aspirational physical form and 3) an icon. Strokes & folks etc.

I'm not 100% sure I'm interpreting #13 correctly -- if not, I'll take it for myself. you ever see David Holzman's Diary?

i have not

[glazomaniac]

it's a minutemen thing. i obviously contradict myself in #26, just to keep things interesting.

nothing to do with the minutemen at all...

[brightpop]

enjoying Godard's new wave cinema as entertainment OVER believing that it's actually "truth at 24 feet per second"

i accept this

[glazomaniac]

i am all with that; though, the "new wave" i meant above was definitely the musical style. i like that it's open to interpretation, though.
