Haha, stop being perfect please. I spent the weekend writing my Cockles fic and this chapter is basically just Misha over-identifying with A Streetcar Named Desire. That fucking play, man. THAT FILM. I love it so hard it almost makes my head spin.

Also, I was just thinking today how I needs to get Amelie in my life again.

I love so many of these films. THE RED SHOES, oh my God, oh my God.

Our taste is just too awesome. muahaha etc.

I realize I basically love people on the other side of sanity. Streetcar? yep. Great Expectations? Havisham my life, bb. The Red Shoes? dancing is a type of madness and at the end--

I feel so privileged that you like, talk about yr awesome future fics with me. :D:D:D:D:D It's like knowing I'm gonna travel someone I've never been to, but where I really really wanna go and having the assurance that I'm going there. Not right now. But. You know. Soon.

Teehee, I'm always happy to blather to you about my very silly projects. I have been super-slack on the NaNo the past couple of days... mostly eaten up by 5k of unexpected Matt/Misha that is ridiculous and out of control and treating me like a bad boyfriend would, making me cry and then being loving... and so on.

Anything, anything that displays the human mind in all its fractured glory floats my boat so hard.

meh writing is writing, bb.

as long as you're writing it's all good. besides, sometimes writing other stuff while yr supposed to write some assignment (and nano can feel like it) can actually make the juices flow, like cheating on nano. so. yeah. ;D

That's exactly it. I'm such a failed academic in that whenever anything that feels remotely like it might be important or like work comes along, I start committing to something else like it's my secret lover.

Bad writer wife, oh yes ;)
