And where were we when we caught the light?

[deense]

I've had this idea for a while, utterly and completely stolen from rhythmsextion

10 reasons why you should consider defriending me.

1. I hate Jane Austen
No, really, I do. I feel this has to be at the top of my list as there are two types of people in the world. Those that like U2.. Wait, that's point two. Honestly, the woman drives me mad. The only book of hers I enjoy reading is Persuasion. I feel peple would be better off reading Gaskell's North and South than any Austen, ever.

2. U2 are my favourite band
Beyonf the Pixies, beyond the Cure, beyond the Killers, there is and has always been U2. Yes, the new album leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, they've changed over the years. Yes, Bono can be a sanctimonious bastard. But no one can take away from me what it was to watch the laserdisc of Under a Blood Red Sky when I was 8. Nor can they take away seeing the Rattle and Hum tour, nor many tours later. I love them and will always do so. There's nothing you can do about it

3. The Montreal Canadiens are the best sports team ever
Alright, so maybe not the best sports team, but I grew up loving them. Why? My dad liked the Canadiens and as such I was a fan. I'll just say to all of those leafs fans out there, that at least my team has won a cup in my lifetime

4. I mock the things I love
From people to fandoms, if I love you, I'll tease you. I think it's put best in the words of my friend Vlad 'if we didn't like you, we'd ignore you.'

5. I think Oz Top Model and Oz Project Runway are two of the best shows on telly
I don't know that there's any explanation for this, but it's how it is. The first has none of the OMG TYRA about it, and the latter lacks Tim Gunn, but they make my life.

6. I have sister-wives
Yes, you read that correctly. No, we aren't married to the same man. But it comes from a joke about us standing in as the other's SO and went from there. But I do not know what I'd do without Keira and Anna, honestly. They are so important in my life and I love them to death.

7. I'm in a medieval re-creation group
Yes, you read that right. I make medieval clothing and go to events where we all play at being people from pre-1600 society. I love it, and I take it far too seriously.

8. I love steampunk
No, really, I'm about to embark on an adventure that involves me learning how to make steampunk accessories and weapons. How can you dislike this genre? I don't know.

9. I like RPS
In fact, I have an epic GG RPS in the works. Over 10,000 words and I'm still going on it, my longest fic to date.

10. I refuse to feel shame about music I love
From Lady Gaga to the Charlatans, what I love is what I love. Accept and adjust. That's all there is to it.

This is, like, a list of reasons for why we're friends. WELL DONE, YOU *cackles*

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, well, I'm glad for that!

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Also, only you could get me to watch tin man. DAMN YOU.

[kseda.livejournal.com]

Wait, did that actually happen and I neglected to point and laugh, or is this still in the realm of nebulous hypothesis? *snickers*

(Hey, you mock things you love, and it comes pre-mockable!)

[deensey.livejournal.com]

NOT YET! But I have it downloaded and LEERING at me.

[annes-stuff.livejournal.com]

Wow. And while sexy, this is to this day (http://community.livejournal.com/dw_cosplay/171938.html) my favourite steampunk effort.

1/ Dear ghods yes. Do NOT make me watch/read/opine on Jane Austen. *blech*

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I don't mind some of the BBC interpretations, but she is not the be all and end all of literature.

[shu-shu-sleeps.livejournal.com]

so - now that I no longer do SCA, I need to find a new creative hobby - steampunk fascinates me..... and the clothes are fabulous! I might even be talked back into a corset :) Did I just say that? Maybe aliens stole my brain.... but steampunk looks like heaps of fun.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Dude, there are quarterly steampunk events in driving distance from us all. We should both look into it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/raven_/]

[snowbunny22.livejournal.com]

The Leafs suck, but the Senators are better than the Canadiens >.>

Also, I wish I could be in a Medieval re-creation group

[deensey.livejournal.com]

I accept the Sens as the superior Ontario team, but the Habs win.

I, too, cannot stand Jane Austen. It has taken me probably three weeks now to get through the first 11 chapters of "Pride & Prejudice". The only reason I'm reading it is because there are zombies in this one. I'm okay with it so far, btw, no panic attacks over the thought of some walking dead coming out to scoop my brains into his mouth.

Also, you should make me some steampunk earrings/necklaces. You know, my birthday is coming up. *coughcough* I don't have it in me for the clothing, but good god, I would kill for some of the necklaces I've seen.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

I was going to say, you're reading ZOMBIE fiction. YOU. YOOOOOU? I am impressed. Even if it's Austen inspired.

You need to watch Shaun of the Dead next. It's a romzomcom.

>.> WE SHALL SEE! You can be my guinea pig. Except I already have two guinea pigs, they live in a cage in my backyard.

But you know what I mean.

[wookiewife.livejournal.com]

I have seen that! I hid behind my roommate for half of it, but I SAW IT!

[deensey.livejournal.com]

WOW! That's two whole zombie things.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY JESSIE?

[wookiewife.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!
But then I got brave and tried to watch "Night of the Living Dead" (the original) and... yeah, all that work, undone.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetie. We need to make you a list of zombie movies you're allowed to watch.

[http://users.livejournal.com/raven_/]

Now I want steampunk. *le sigh*

[deensey.livejournal.com]

LULZ. I am not surprised!
