Oh dear...

That reminds me. There. "Character sadism" added as an interest. That's my desire to see fictional characters horribly abused, if you happen to share that tendency...

On the packing front, if there's anything of mine that you've ever had an eye on, now's the time to ask. I've been packing for long enough that I'm ready to join the Socialists and give away all my obviously unnecessary possessions, which is to say all of them. (Actually, I'll move most of them to Seattle anyway, then try to give them away to people there.)

Comics please! :::grin::: (Though I somehow doubt you're willing to part with those...)

In which case...

Pens please! :D :D :D

I'm sorry!

Aheheh. Nice try on the comics. Actually, after I'm settled in Seattle, I'll probably groom my collection, and I have a great number of individual issues I'm not that hot on. After Kayla, I'll let you have first crack.

Bad news on gel pens: Since you didn't jump on them when I brought them over to your house, I let my stepsister take them all gone. I've only got my dozen hand-picked favorites left.

But...but...I thought I did jump on them...? Gah! You didn't let me know you were giving them away!

P.S.

Your current music. :D

Oh. Yeah.

I'm really sorry about the pens! I brought them to your house and I waved them in front of you and then we played games and you didn't mention them again... Sorry.

Don't worry about it. ;) I'm not terribly heartbroken...it was just a missed opportunity.

i've always liked that neat tapestry/batik/throw/blanket/wall hanging thing you have.

This is horribly embarrassing, but I can't connect your username with an identity. I keep trying to figure it out from your info, but I'm helpless here.

Re: the batik throw, my sister snagged it from me years back now. Dang it, you people have a great eye for the stuff I'm willing to give away, you just picked all the things I've already GIVEN! Pick something else. ;P

Re: less stuff to move

[vanadis.livejournal.com]

ya, see thats 'cause I found your journal and added you then you added me and so like thats our only contact.

So I was making a brazen stab in the dark that someone w similar tastes would also have a cool batik/tapestry throw thing. :D

Oh and I'm Vanessa from Texas. hi!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

If I hadn't already been reading you (just to see if I could figure out who it was), I would start just because I like how your mind works.

I agree - Character sadism

[sprgtime.livejournal.com]

I also enjoy character sadism, by your definition, although I hadn't consciously thought about it before reading this.

Which do you like more - a "bad" fictional character who ends up horribly abused and you enjoy the revenge of somebody deserving, or do you more enjoy an innocent character horribly abused?

I like both. However, for some reason I don't enjoy it nearly as much when an average joe fictional character is horribly abused.

Ti? TI? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

When I said I was on LJ, you DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE. Sneak.

Innocent character, as long as it's not horrible injustice. They have to volunteer.

By the way, fellow readers, this is my absolutely bestest friend from middle school, the gold standard LMG. (No, you don't know what an LMG is, and I'm not going to tell you.)

Re: I agree - Character sadism

[sprgtime.livejournal.com]

So an innocent character VOLUNTEERS to be horribly abused?
Doesn't that kind of contradict the meaning of being horribly abused? If you want it, does it even count as abuse - let alone, "horrible" abuse?

Or do you mean when an innocent character volunteers in order to save another?

Wow, I'm a gold standard. Cool. :)

Re: I agree - Character sadism

Or do you mean when an innocent character volunteers in order to save another?

Yes, that would be precisely the kind of horrible choice I relish. "It's just not fair" isn't nearly as poignant as "I have to do this."
