Well I like LJ because of how it brings people together by interest, rather than age Indeed… All the different people, bound by the same passions. What’s not to love?
but when it comes to age then I mostly freak out that my children are THAT OLD!!! How did that happen? (I'm 36, so a fairly young mum - I had Miss M when I was 22.) Advancing towards teenage years… =P Good luck! Time just blurs by…
LJ is like a town. Your own journal is your house, and your flist is the street you live on (and you can choose who you want on it! *g*) - the people you want to talk to on a regular basis/the communities you want to belong to. I just love that description. It feels so… homey and right.
Well as I've stalled, that's good. ;) *thumbs up* procrastination is your friend… Or not.
Oh, I do like you. <3 <3 <3 Ha, that’s nice cause I like you right back ;) (And I like having people like me… Which we all do, mind.)
I think it's just that their story is... peculiar. They live with one leg in the world of myths and fairy tales, and that affects everything. Fairy tales code things in imagery, rather than deal with it outright. So it's like you need a whole different way of reading the stories - which can be problematic, because when looked at on a surface level, it seems very odd and disjointed. Ohhh, that’s interesting. Just two days ago I was having the eternal Moffat vs. RTD/Moffat pros-cons discussions with a friend, and I pointed out the fairytale thing, but meant that as a criticism. However, it actually /fixes/ things when you take it as a perspective for the whole thing, and not as something wrong—and it doesn’t have to be wrong, since fairytales don’t necessarily mean mushiness after all. Fairytales can be cruel (not the Disney version ;)). So yeah, I prefer more realistic/direct/raw ways of handling emotion, but it’s still good to get another perspective on such things.
Aren't we all... /o\ True, true. *high fives*
I watched a little bit of One, a single adventure of Three and all of Season 25, which features Seven - who is absolutely my favourite after Eleven. (Seven being manipulative, Trickster-y and secretive. It's like a list of all my favourite things...) Seven does sound good =)
