ithikaThat's such a great song, it has everything. *waves Queen flag*.
But yeah, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I feel like a speel, and since all you poor, unknowing people have added me to your friends lists... well, most of you knew full well what you were getting yourselves into, so, hah, hah, hah.
Stream of conciousness writing is currently on my list of
Ghan's favourite things, along with the words Absinthe and Menagerie. Menagerie's been on the favourite thing list for quite a time now, it's doing well for itself.
This is a rant I wrote, in the dark, with no vision, about the thoughts I had at the time. It's not stream of conciousness, because it's a journal entry, and we all know full well that I intended to put it here when I wrote it.
However, I digress.
Stream of conciousness writing is the best thing ever.
I can listen to the POTC soundtrack indefinately. I wonder how much of this I'll be able to read...hmm.
I was thinking about fandom, and I realised that I can't like something/one for just one reason, because I'm obsessive. I need to love every aspect of it, or I'll loose interest - and fast.
Because I do obsess - I pick over every tiny detail, until it's burnt into my brain. For example, I can still tell you what the ideal team for each of the Pok'emon games is, what attacks to learn, what techniques to use against Gym leaders in each of the games I own, and stuff, and I haven't played them in well over a year. [still grand, however]
So, I'm thinkin', if I only like one aspect of something, I can only scrutinize it for so long before it becomes boring.
LOTR, for me, is the quintesssential fandom.
To start with, the books. Tolkien is my idol. I adore Tolkien, and have for a good... *counts* seven or so years now. I could, and have/do read those books countless times...flawless.
The movies! How I adore them. They're about as close to the books as is possible for a movie to be, and the result of all the hard work put into them is breathtaking. I honestly can't imagine what I'd be like if I didn't know LOTR.
Blind adoration.
On that note, my second most beloved movie, POTC, I'm not that interested in production. It interests me, but not fascinates.
Which is interesting.
Silverchair. Even if I don't mention them that much anymore, they are still, in fact, my favourite band. I love all of their songs, apart from maybe Lie to Me.
I also adore the people that are the band - they're interesting. ["I think you're dumb." "Kind of, I said like" "DUMB!"]
My favourite actors - Johnny Depp and Viggo Mortensen. Johnny Depp in particular, I've honestly appreciated for years without knowing it - he has been around a while. & I loved some of his movies before I a) bothered recognising actors or b) was even vaguely interested in celebrities. & I like them because, to me, they're admirable - does what they find interesting and fulfilling,not what puts the most money in their pockets or brings them the most fame.
& music - I've found that if I can't listen to it over and over again, I don't listen. A song/track has to give me this feeling.. there's no word for it, really, but it has to have it.
Some, a very few, move me profoundly, that always mean something special, like the Rohan Theme, the sounds in Minas Morgul, the songs Pure Morning, Emotion Sickness and the Battle of Evermore, and the general entirety of the POTC soundtrack. Music, especially classical, is one of the most perfect things in the world, I think.
that, and flannellette PJ's.
I think I may be arrogant. Sorry. But I'm going to sleep now. I wonder if this is legible. Hope so.

ATN concert anniversarry.
Wow, that's less legible than I remember.
I've been feeling very strange lately, very, very on edge. Oh yeah. Jurance [guh. I have no idea how to spell her name] jumped up behind me thisarvo and I literally jumped out of my skin. Not good, because that's not like me. I was seriously shaken by it, really. Not good at all.
But, things are good. It's nearly the holidays, and I don't have extra hours, YES! It means I'll have TIME again!! You honestly.. have no idea how much I look forward to having time. No idea.
Practised our happy little Iago/Othello excerpt [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lone_one and myself, that is] after school today, went quite well. However, I can't for the life of me imagine how Iago should stand and move. I know how he should speak, and such, just not how he should be, if you follow me. Hopefully I'll know by friday, because, it's nice to know these things.
AHAH, that unseen in class essay's tomorrow! HAH! I knew I wouldn't end up studying for it, and I was so so right. So correct.
Hm, probably not a good attitude to have.
Well, I'm being lynched by the curfew Nazi again, and I leave you with this image:
Buddy Saruman
ok. You know the Buddy Christ, from Dogma? Apply that concept to Saruman... there we go.
But yeah, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I feel like a speel, and since all you poor, unknowing people have added me to your friends lists... well, most of you knew full well what you were getting yourselves into, so, hah, hah, hah.
