Maybe I'm In The Wrong Place?

[ultra_chrome]

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, it has been bought to my attention that I'm not like other girls. But I am. Just not other girls around here.

Hey you! Baa all you want! That's what makes this world interesting, that everybody is unique. Obsess over what you care about, and don't give a flying fart about nobody else is squeeing. There are other things that interest you where you will match up with other people, but that matching is up to you - like sharing the slash, or music, or whatever, by talking about it here (for one place

I've always prided myself on my individuality. But just lately I'm feeling a little...lonely. There's nobody here to sit and watch hockey with, or discuss the finer points of the lyrics of "To The Shore" with while sitting on the front porch. That sort of stuff.

So, I'm not about to go follow the flock or anything, don't worry. I'll probably just post more random squee in my journal. Fair warning....

I admire you for being so open about your writing. (add to the list) I know my Mum would be sort of okay about it, but she has dreams of me being a best selling author and she'd lecture me about spending more time writing something publishable... I have a couple of friends who know about it. Those who don't, don't even know I write. It's easier not to share any of the info if you're not willing to share it all, I guess.

And as for the squirrel pic... It was a poor replacement for the parcel that I was too disorganised to remember to send... I suck at birthdays. :(

Aw. Being lonely is a normal condition, and it will pass. And while all DD lyrics are about sex in the end (pun intended), yes, the finer points (how, when, who) are good to discuss.

I like reading random squee - very interesting! Self analysis always is.

My mom thinks I should concentrate on writing original fic, which would be fine if I had some ideas I liked. Maybe one day.

I think its perfectly fine not to share that you write - it's a very private thing, a person-by-person thing on if they want to let others know.

You can always step away from loneliness, at least for a while, by doing a squee on your journal - there's always someone who is willing to read and reply, and give a hug. *and yes, virtual hugs DO count* ;)

Only two fo my friends know I'm a slasher (dear god sounds like Im admiting a crime) and its great cos I used to live with them and we we found out about each othe it was like 'wow, you too??I thought I was the only one'.My family thinkIm weird enough and are quite...prudish I guess. Theyre very open and accepting-ish (although my mother genuinly thought I was gay until she mentioned it and I nearly choked to death laughing-I had just spent two hours describing what I'd do to RDA if I had him handcuffed to a bed)But it upsets me that some things I write that Im proud of, I can never show them

You have no idea how happy I was when I discovered your hockey love

[captainlogic]

RDA = Richard Dean Anderson so its very fitting that you recognise Ball-cap guy as Michael Shanks aka Daniel Jackson. I always find it amusing that half of the stargate cast is in Suspicious River(I find it amusing that almost every good sci-fi show/show i love is filmed in Vancouver, the exception being DS so they all seem to just trade actors back and forth) but I find it so hard when Michael Shanks plays evil people cos hes just so darn adorable that it goes against all rules. I konw actors like to grow and evolve and take different roles yadda yadda yadda but ball cap guy was evil. I still havent been able to watch that movie again because although I think its beautifully done and the acting is superb its just too damn depressing and makes me uncomfortable, which I suppose is the point but still....

[ultra_chrome]

Wow! I'm actually writing "thing" about the film right now. And yes! about the acting and the filming and the depressing and...

But I like to pick at things that make me uncomfortable. Take them into little pieces and look at them objectively. Unless it's spiders. I don't like to look at them at all....

It really bugs me that two guys I find incredibly hot are playing sexual predators. I mean, it's hard to look at them and not get wobbly knees, but then you feel dirty about it. It's just...there should be a law against it. Only ugly men should be cast in those parts.

Hey, I do the same thing with random obsessions, and also the whole rare random obsessions thing. How else can I explain being bored to tears by 'Heroes', but totally into 'The Sentinel' or 'due South?' The way it was explained to me once by a good friend is that I tend to be a rugged individualist. And a totally different person gave me the collected works of Ayn Rand. That's what you are, and there's nothing wrong with it. As long as what you do makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone else, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

[ultra_chrome]

Cool. Sounds like I'm in good company. :)

I like to find my own stuff to love. It's like finding treasure when something comes along that you had no idea was so wonderful.

I can't get Heroes here. It's on regular tv and I get no reception, so it's cable only for me. I tend not to watch much telly anyway. I only put it on for the hockey at the moment.
