You people talk. And talk and talk and talk
There be monsters.
Like, almost ALL of *there.* So stay here.
Yes, stay here. With us.
Forever. *creepy smile*
Ok, forget that. RUN.
Pfft. You know your in an interesting place here, at least. And I must say, never been freaked out by anything here. Had some huh? moments, but never freaked out. I was in PC&E yesterday- might need a while before going back
I keep going back to the thread (and the half dozen other threads with similar topics) and wondering if - just maybe - the geek culture has brought this all upon itself... My brain is still ticking over on the subject, but something useful ought to pop out when I'm trying not to think on it so much.
I don't know about that, but I was pretty much brought up with one variant or another of geek culture in my life, but only within my family enviroment. When I was really young, I was in a really multicultural area, so pokemon was about as universal as it got. When I was older, we lived in the country.
I remember being annoyed that I couldn't go down to the city and go to conventions and stuff. Now, looking at some of the stuff going down? I'm sort of glad I didn't. Would have ruined the experiance for me at that age. Now, with some knowledge about people in general, (because when I was 15/16 I presumed that if one person from a group said something, everyone thought it), I don't think it would ruin it for me, just make me shove that part of geekdom in the "ignore unless to dispel it" box, because there are guys out there who are perfectly wonderful people. And not boymen.
Like you guys
Hooray for coming up with the dramatic ending of a long story you've barely written anything of yet, especially if that ending happening would require a drastic change in the world the story takes place in...
I swear, my imagination is just trying to fuck with me at this point.
Also on a tangent: Is it really worth it to sell all my individual volumes of Doctor Who DVDs just to get Series 1-4 as boxsets then the Specials and Series 5 + 6 as Blu Ray box sets? Cause right now I have like 29 DVDs and they're just taking up more space than they need to. Plus because of the individual volume nature of the releases (like 3 episodes to a DVD), they lack many (often all) of the special features, and I'm a whore for special features.
Special features are always worth it. Always.
I'm a newbie still, and infrequent visitor.
Heyhey
No. I find it quite warm really. Living in the UK American accents are still fairly exotic to me. it's just that the voice in my head had always been a version of me, currently fourtyish and female. Now it's Stephen King.
You know, I really am headed for the local mental institution aren't I? Thankfully, it's just across the road.
Honestly, and no offence, I find most American accents incredibly annoying. The only allowance I make is for a really slow, deep southern drawl, but only from a guy, and only if he looks hot. My brain is weird.
British accents on the other hand...
