Hey, TAB:

Fine, I'll go to the cosplay on Friday with zychi and myself, and he's much cooler than you guys anyway because he can play guitar and none of you can. And the Rofflecoptor won't miss your asses one bit when you're seeing Beck / at work / doing... whatever else.

No, not one bit.

Bring me one of those chocolate-covered frozen bananas from the state fair or I keel you, infidels my darque schoolboy Kamui xcerebraledemax.

According to Kaity, she is just some bush to me. And she didn't want anybody else to read this conversation.

I am, to this day, angry at my computer for eating my Utena OST 3. That was the best Utena soundtrack, hands down. Somebody still has my DVDs where are they

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 4 questions. Any 4, no matter how personal, dirty, private, or random. I have to answer them honestly. In return, you have to post this message in your own journal, and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you...

OMGMEME

1. Why Phantom of the Opera? I mean, what do you see in it and all? Personally, I saw the new movie version of it, and while the music was cool (I always liked the "main" song), it bored me to sleep. No, really, I actually fell asleep. But then again, I also fell asleep to Resident Evil...
2. What's Seishirou's status in A Perfect Circle? Good? Evil? Faking it? What? >:3 And, and this is a continuation of the last question (just pretend there was a conjunction or something there), will Subaru and Seishirou ever meet?
3. Are you a big Seishirou/Subaru fan and why? I can't tell with you. You seem a Seishirou fan, but any S/S-fangirling appears to be minimal which is totally okay by me because major S/S-fangirling tends to grate my nerves sometimes.
4. Did you know that sometimes you come across as really impersonal and unfriendly? Like, too objective and almost sterile. It's fine for normal interaction on the web, but sometimes modifiers or even the random emoticon would help soften your perceived "tone" (because it's hard to tell what people mean on the internet sometimes, you know?).

1) I don't know if you're referring to "Sandman" or my general fandom, but either way, my sister felt the same way when we saw the musical production in Phoenix. (The stage production is so much better.) I read the novel just before the movie came out, because I have this thing about reading books before seeing their movies, and I had always loved the songs and the imagery. I think it boils down to the fact that Phantom entered my life at a time when one of its major themes was drawing a frightening parallel to an interpersonal situation I was in at the time, and it hit me hard. Once it had caught my attention, I started to analyze Erik more, and I found him fascinating. That, and I have a penchant for the gothique nonsense. I was one of those Hot Topic kids when I was younger.

Honestly, the musical is one of those things that is much more fun to sit through if you already know it. Kind of like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Even if you don't like sitting through the entire thing, I highly suggest downloading the original cast recording featuring Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford. They are sublime.

2) ...*dance break* The re-written beginning will make everything make more sense and overall suck less / make me wince in horror and embarrassment less. I'll leave it at that and with telling you that Rainbow Bridge will still fall.

3) Honestly, yes ("Sandman" was entirely Subaru/Seishirou), but I am not of the belief that they are the only ones for each other. I am also a big Subaru / Kamui fan. Kamui / Fuuma grew on me through writing "A Perfect Circle", as did Naive!Fuuma / Seishirou. You will see what I mean by that. I do think Subaru and Seishirou have undeniable, overpowering chemistry, and their reciprocal nature is beautiful--fragile and near-unheard of. As a whole, there are few couples I believe are the only ones for one another. Human relationships are far too complex for that. Most of the time. Alucard/Integral or bust

4) I have been told as much, and it gets me in trouble sometimes, especially with people who are not familiar with me. I am very objective, but far from sterile; in real life I am reserved and will keep to myself, but I am very approachable. My normal expression is neutral, but if something is funny or makes me feel inclined to smile, I smile. For some reason I have developed a strong personal aversion to emoticons or modifiers; I use them in moderation. I prefer for things to be implied through context, but I know that in clippets on livejournals have little context, and given my frequent snark and sarcasm, I can see where something would come across as being a bite.

Honestly, unless somebody directly address an issue that concerns me, if I do not have something neutral-at-best (or nice) to say, I won't say anything. I keep forgetting that online, people do not know me as my real-life friends do, and will not interpret what I say in the same manner. I joke very hard and am very sarcastic, because that is how I was raised; my entire family is the same way. Some people, I forget, are not used to that and see a snide remark about their flaws as an attack, not a friendly in-joke, of sorts. I can be the meanest and make the most acidic comments at those people I respect the most. We’re all flawed; why not laugh about it together?

1. Oh that's cool, the personal connection. Those don't make sense sometimes to those "outside", but they feel the best.

2. XD I'm horrible; I snicker everytime I see/think of the Rainbow Bridge and that whole scene. Okay, I like Seishirou/Subaru, I do, but...I'm not a fan of how people like to portray it. I like it at its basest form without the added "romance." Haha, I don't know, I guess I'm picky about my S/S. As I've undoubtedly said before, I like them best together when they're apart? So A Perfect Circle is very cool and makes me want to see them together. Of course, though, if they ever did get together, I wouldn't like it as much XD I guess I'm one of those the-chase-is-more-fun people...

3. Haha, I think Subaru/Kamui is cute, though I don't like it when they try to add Seishirou in. I don't know (and not add in as in like...threesome). I never really saw much for Fuuma/Kamui though I don't have anything against it. I don't know why, but I really, really like Fuuma/Subaru. That makes more sense to me than all of the other pairings, even "canon." I don't know. I guess I'm weird like that. I hate it when real life people wallow in their angst, so it applies to fictional characters as well XD I'd just like them to get on with their lives... But, you know, I can't deny S/S chemistry. Though, everyone has some sort of chemistry...and in some cases, it's a matter of creating it!

4. I guess sometimes I'm conscious of how I'm interpreted and whatnot nowadays. Emoticons are useful in putting in emotion that may not otherwise be felt with just words. Sometimes they can create fake meaning, which is both good and bad at times, depending on how you want to be interpreted ;) I'm usually honest and blunt as hell, but honesty and a hard edge don't work very well when dealing with people, I've found out the hard way. So it's a balance on the internet of being you and making sure imaginary little devils don't pop out of nowhere from your words. Haha, I guess I'm one of those people who would see a snide remark as an attack! Perhaps, though, it's because I've dealt with a lot of passive-aggressive people in the past who *do* use those things as attacks. And I guess I've picked up a few things because sometimes I do that, too... But then again, I'm also the sort of person who doesn't appreciate negative remarks meant in good humor? Maybe I lack the ability to see the difference between good humor and attack, I don't know. I guess I'm just dense!

But I just wondered if you knew that about yourself. I never knew that I was so blunt and tactless until an inordinate amount of people pointed it out to me ;)
