Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?

Sep 23, 2011 17:02

I'm on my fifth day of my vacation from real-life human interaction (not counting brief encounters on Tuesday and Wednesday).  Tomorrow I'll be picked up for tai chi and then I have a therapy appointment, but then after two it's back to being a hermit.  A hermit with two beagles and two cats.

I like it.

If I lived in a place that was either small ( Read more... )

dreams, henry, let me show you my major in bullshittery, character analysis, is this just fantasy?, apathy does not prevent tags (entirely), tl;dr, katie, philosophy, ryan gosling, death, were it not that i have bad dreams, stay, movies

Pfffffft, I love reading your rambling existential stuff. Even though most of this went over my head since I've seen neither Inception nor Stay. xD;;

Don't confuse lack of comments with lack of reading. I think a lot of people read but aren't sure what to say, so they keep silent and therefore it seems like you're talking into a void when you're really not.

Someday I must ask you to watch Stay with me. Maybe Inception if it's free. I might like Inception better with a less made-entirely-of-philosophy-majors viewing audience. ...Although Stay is kinda ruined since I spoiled the whole thing. Ffff.

You are absolutely right. As an avid lurker, I should know this. ._.

*floats, but not too high*

I should probably let it be known that I read all of your things, even though I only lurk. I don't comment (well, almost never, as I obviously am now), because I frequently can't get my mind working well enough for what I'd consider a thoughtful comment, when you've written such a long and thoughtful analysis. Or especially- as happens many times in Livejournal- I don't feel I have the experience or anything helpful to say when someone is having a serious internal conflict, or just a hard time otherwise. I don't want to make them feel worse. And so I leave off for commenting later, when my brain's 'working'...and lately, that mostly just doesn't happen anymore. :P But I'm getting off track. >_ ( ... )

This will be short since my mind is not working, but thank you. ♥ I mean, for saying that you do read, and for being so kind. I understand lurking. I'm an avid lurker; I almost always read my flist but I very rarely feel that I have anything of importance to say.

I'm strangely glad that you've seen "Stay." XD Sometimes I feel very alone in my tiny fandom bubble. And yes, the folks who made the movie thought they were being exceptionally clever and tricksy. They sound like film students showing off their "edgy" new movie. It's remarkable that the movie is as good as it is, I think. I'm sure the acting is part of it.

It's a good place to explore.

*hugs* I'm sorry I haven't said a word to you for so long and that things have been rough.

Oh hey, no worries on the short. I TOTALLY get the mind not working. <3

I feel really lucky to have seen Stay, actually. I need to get it on DVD at some point. It was rented by my roommate at the time, a photographer who liked to get a lot of high drama and high...er, concept pieces, which I generally didn't like. But I sat down for this one, and ended up liking it a lot more than she did. I'm really glad that whatever combination of stuff happened with the movie, it did work so well. I think you're probably right about the acting.

*hug!* Aw, no worries on that, either. After all, I haven't been talking to people much at all, myself. And stuff hasn't been too bad, honestly, I just have a lot of non-thinky times, so the commenting's been pretty absent. >_>; I'm trying to see if I can turn that around somehow here, as I do like thinking!

Mind-not-working seems to happen more than mind-working. XD

Oh! If you're having a hard time finding it, I see it in bargain bins all the time around here. I can keep an eye out?

♥ There's something to be said about being around, though, even if it's in a quiet and not-commenting way. You're the kind of person I would rely on in a real crisis because I think you would be there. If that makes sense? Still not thinking!
