Incidentally, I'd like to thank you, and also you and you for my sudden Gorillaz-fascination. (And self, you really oughtn't feel icky about this. Yes, they're cartoons. Yes, they're not really "human". Need I remind you of the year or so you spent in Biker Mice from Mars fandom, slashing them?)
Also, I am in love with humanity. And if my sugariness sickens you, you may blame these guys. Because they always do this to me. Dammit.
The world would be better off if everyone would just feel the U2 love. ^_^
Like Brian Molko/Eminem. Think about it. Mmmm.
1. Computer Game Programmer
2. Mathemetician
3. Author
4. FBI Agent
5. Graphic Designer
And a whole bunch of other stuff. I'm amused. Game programmer? Okay, yeah, can see that. Once I know a programming language, i'm actually quite good at it, and I like the logic of this type of thing. Mathmetician? Um. Well, okay, I'm an algebra geek. Shut up. :p Need I say what I think about being an author? Didn't think so. FBI Agent? *boggle* The hell? And Graphic designer? I'm not good at that shit, I don't think. BUt whatever.
I mean, the main reasons I never wanted to see the movie were that Mr Lydon had said that a) the movie's just wrong about a lot of facts, and b) the accents were so far off it wasn't funny anymore. (I could've lived with a), but um. I'm rather picky about accents, especially British ones. I know more or less what Cockney sounds like, what the Pistols soud like, and I'd be thrown out of the flow of the movie by the grating accents.) I figured Hey! Books don't have accents, so maybe I'll be able to read this. It was only about $1.5, too, so no big loss, but. Um. How to say this ...
It sucks. "Nancy Sue" comes to mind, and not just because of the whole sleeping with Sid thing. I mean, right down to the language and the romance and gah! Gag me! With a spork! Please! Urk. As I said to Tri:
When I get home, I'll type up some of this shit for you. Once you get past the vomit-inducingness, it's freaking hilarious. And the thing is, someone got paid to write this. They paid someone to write what amounts to a Mary Sue story. I'm tempted to write to the publisher to give them the URL to SEX and say "Yo. Look. Good writers. Wanna pay them for a change?" Hey, I'd buy a novel versio of, say, Colleen's stories.
So yeah. I'm avoiding doing that work thing I'm supposedly getting paid for. Should stop with the avoidance.
That whole luch thing? Most people do that when it's actually, well, lunchtime. Especially when they haven't done that thing called breakfast. They sure as fuck don't ignore their hunger for four hours in favour of finances. because that's not so geeky it's pathetic.
Sincerely,
You.
So it is written, so it shall be done.
