The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

It was such a different piece for him. You could tell he was really focusing on creating a fantasy world, and his own little fairytale, and I honestly thought that he shone in doing so. My one problem with Neil is that he has this tendency to get bogged down in his own details, and he doesn't leave enough to the imagination-- that definitely wasn't a problem here. That said, the characters and plot were obviously not as developed as in, say, American Gods. But who cares?

Oh and she WOULD be a tree. Or, wood nymph turned tree, who was still pretty cute as a wood nymph. She just would.

"But will you find me if Neil makes me a tree?"

I love how much they reference each other in their work. I'm crazy about both of them, and they go together like peanut butter & jelly.

"Smoke & Mirrors" is my all time favorite Gaiman book, but I love Stardust, as well. It's like a perfect little fairy tale, not too overdone, not too underdone. Just right.

But yes, I do not know anyone that has dated him. And I kinda want to smack Amanda Palmer upside the head A LOT. Not because she's dating him, but because she's a horrible person. Every time she opens her mouth, I am just like, "Oh, Neil...what are you DOING?"

I shall buy Smoke and Mirrors tomorrow then

I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. Ugh. Do you twitter stalk them at all? (God, I'm creepy. There needs to be ledge protection from ME.) He acts like such a school boy about her, which would be adorable, if I didn't think she was so diabolical. It's all a little too She's Your Cocaine for me.

I do follow Neil on Twitter, but not Amanda. I seriously dislike her. She says and does awful things in the name of "being edgy." And, unfortunately, Neil has said some sad things in defense of her when I would have expected better out of him. But I still love Neil's work and admire it greatly, so I can't abandon his ship yet.

Someone please tell me kicking an addictive caffeine habit is worth it, because so far it doesn't seem like it. I've never been so irritable about certain things and just BLAH in all my life. The things that usually make me the happiest are now starting to get to me, and then there is this constant tired feeling even when I'm not even tired/sleepy. I can't believe it has this much of an effect.

It's ridiculous, I'm so close to just saying f*** it and go back to my coffee. At least I'm not like this on it.

I saw a Massachusetts license plate today that read:
222-TWO


It was a rainy day today. I saw a man walking down the sidewalk holding an umbrella and he was barefoot.



Since 1991 every single letter that I have mailed has had some type of sticker on it. I love stickers!

Ahh, good luck! Can't wait to see pictures

Just made this graph on GraphJam for myself. It's a joke on something they always told us in my journalism class freshman year that I couldn't resist making.

Very cool! I was a communications major at UCLA way back in the day.

Me, I'm a business major, but cause I'm in this honors program, they decided to plop all of us into it. I still remember Dean Schneider yelling to the lecture hall about that and how you gotta "open the freezer".

Yeah, that was GREAT! I mean, what's a little crip-drag amongst artists? Did you see how she went on Aussie TV to make fun of the disabled feminists for having the misguided, silly temerity to be offended by her behavior and point out that it was wrong? Yeah, that was fun, too. And edgy.

I also love that one time she tried to put Lady Gaga down for the product placement in that one video with Beyonce by tweeting, "ironic product placement is only ok if you take no money & beyond that give all the income to something ironic. like the Klan." Y'know, 'cos the Klan is so ironical. And edgy.

Oh oh, and what about that time she found a Katy Perry lookalike to rape in effigy on stage with Margaret Cho (WTF, MARGARET CHO?!). WARNING: That link is extremely NSFW, possibly triggering, really disturbing, and downright disgusting - particularly when you take into account the fact that Palmer has previously touted herself as a survivor. BUT HEY! It's OKAY! She was doing it in support of gay marriage! How ironical. And edgy.

Allow me to do my highly accurate Amanda Palmer impression, if you will:

OMG U GUISE! LOOKIT MEEEE! OMG. I'M SO NONCONFORMIST, AND, LIKE, QUIRKY AND STUFF! IT'S ART! ALSO I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! OMG. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME. LIKE, I'M SORRY YOU'RE OFFENDED, BUT THAT'S YOUR FAULT! GET OVER IT. WAIT. WHY'D YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME? LOOOOOOOKITMEEEEEEEE!"

Ugh. Just...ugh.

Oh my sweet God in heaven. Things I knew about-- the dress and Evelyn. Things I could never imagine-- nothing's funnier than the Klan and rape. I have the most horrible taste in my mouth right now.

Edit- I really appreciate the links. I got too carried away in the midst of my disgust to thank you properly.

Yeah, she's a real piece of work, that one. She's just all kinds of fail, and doesn't seem to get why the stuff she does is bad and she should feel bad. And while Neil is not responsible for her actions nor should he be made to be so, it is unfortunate that he gets a little too smoke-gets-in-your-eyes & tries to defend that kind of **** from time to time in public.
