LJ is a horrible thing if one ever goes and looks at the archives of things. Soemtimes I feel like I haven't really progressed at all, in my studies or as a person or in writing or in life since a gazillion years ago, or that maybe all motion just goes backwards.
I don't know.
I think we should just write more WAP! and screw that whole responsible adult business, etc. since clearly attempts at adult have been total failures.
Same year, I'm pretty sure -- I think I followed you all on board -- though I was wise and didn't look quite that far back for now. And what, you mean it's horrifying how we're very incredibly old? Because that part I find pretty entertaining...
*hugs* I shall be on AIM again, I shall, I shall. I don't exactly remember right now why I want grades of any kind, as opposed to, say, being a pirate, but yes, that.
I always support the writing of more WAP!, though not so much of how my existential whatsit seems to be contagious. I think I'm kind of an extreme case here, if that helps at all...
I don't know, a lot of it was fun to look at, and some of it was interesting. It was just, you know, wanting to pet wee!me on the head, and then realizing that um, we're pretty much still the same person.
But we have so progressed in writing. We don't write Smallville anymore.
[PS: in fanfic at least, I still don't have anything against SV, I was just kind of amazed at how little sense some of my tidbits in that fandom made. As opposed to, of course, all other fandoms.]
I still haven't given up on actually crossing the land all the way to your area! And there shall be more fangirl meet-ups, no? In other words: yes, absolutely.
I guess part of that feeling really is universal (possibly for twenty-somethings, but I have a feeling I'll feel something similar at forty). It has to do, of course, with what we use to pace ourselves, and my measures for myself have always been very forgiving in some ways, which I'm pretty sure isn't really the case for you...
more lost in my politics since I've lost the inherent sense that some basic things were self evident. Nowhere near as more educated in my politics as I planned to be. More worried about my tendency to put things off
Oh, man, this. And also other stuff you said that ring true for me as well.
IDK, I'm catching up on LJ and just wanted to say ♥.
By the by: I have not, clearly, looked at your lj just now, because I care far too much about beam bending to do that, but incidentally, ski BFF AUs have always sounded vaguely awesome to me. Even if I still find the idea of Adam and Brendon in the same room terrifying.
But whhhhyyy omg. Just imagine! Lake Tahoe is on the border of CA and Nevada. Adam's family goes there when he's 11 and he hates sports but he thinks skiing might maybe be okay even though he's not sure if he's good at it, and he's still wobbling carefully down the mountain when this little kid whizzes down the mountain in a bright pink suit and goggles and a helmet and crashes into Adam and Adam freaks out because the kid is tiny and like six years old but the kid is only slightly dazes and grinning and says it's okay to fall because the snow is soft. And later at the hotel at night Adam finds a secluded room in the lobby somewhere and there's a piano there and some sheet music, and Adam doesn't play but he has to rehearse for a production he's starring in this spring so he breaks into this hard rock solo from Jesus Christ Superstar and when the last notes are dying off he sees the kid standing the doorway, eyes wide and shocked and worshipful, and he doesn't really know how it happens but this kid just starts following him around

And one day the owner of the ski site, a descendant of European aristocracy who managed to purchase a sizable size of the mountain range and cultivate Albion, hears that all these VIPs frequent his site, yet instead of signing up for lessons from the former Olympic medalists he keeps on staff at his prize five star hotel the Camelot, they're taking lessons from these two nobodies who work for this crappy place down the mountain. His son Arthur, owner and manager of the Camelot hotel, promptly offers Adam and Brendon a job, including permanent rooms at the hotel, use of all hotel facilities, and a very respectable salary. "Our ski instructors are also hosts at the hotel," Arthur explains in an apologetic tone, "kind of like GOs at Club Med, Camelot's biggest competition on the mountain, which means participating in various entertainment events, performing at our shows every night, but of course I wouldn't expect you to do any of that

I never look at my LJ archives. I've been on lj since 2001. The concept is too horrifying.
I miss you on aim, by the way, but I also understand the allure of decent grades (or, grades at all).
