In December of 2007, I took what would turn out to be a year and a half hiatus from my journal. At that point, I made all of my non-fic entries friends only.

Now that I'm back, I've decided to keep the old entries private. Everything going forward will be posted openly, as I refuse to be ashamed of who I am.

If you don't want to wait to get to know me, feel free to friend me and/or comment here.

Themes for my 30_kisses claim of Aya/Chloe from Weiss Side B

I've decided to list a rating here for those that are done. Anything G or PG will be worksafe, PG-13 might be questionable, and R or NC-17 should not be considered safe for work.

( Table for 30 Kisses )

Wish me luck?

Today, I saw someone dancing. Not just swaying or tapping his feet in time as I sometimes do, but truly getting into it. He was waiting at the bus stop with me, one hand holding his CD player and the other snapping or playing on an air guitar. I was struck by how into his music he was, and as we were boarding the bus I worked up the nerve to lightly tap his shoulder and ask as to what he was listening to with such glee. "Skinny Puppy" he told me. "Look them up." He starts to tell me about this industrial band from the 1980s, but trails off as we get separated by other people boarding.

As I'm sitting on the bus afterward, he comes up to me, CD in hand. "I have a copy, you can have this one."

He sits with me for a few, telling me about them and how they've been his favorite band since he was fifteen, before bumping shoulders with me in a friendly fashion and standing up. He smiles at me and wishes me a good day and gets off at his stop.

Even before I listened to them and realized that they are the kind of music that I'll enjoy, this guy made not just my day but pretty much my whole month.

To top that off, my husband brought me home sea salt caramels and the sweetest card of two warriors clashing that he made for me. Inside it says that "There would be no passion in this world if we didn't have to fight for what we love." and tells me that he loves me and that I'm worth any and everything to him.

I decided to write a big, long story for the SGA Big Bang. I figured, even if I don't make it, it'll still be great experience.

The problem has been that until earlier today, my brain was stuck on the idea of an SGA/Batman fusion. I've finally got something else to run with, but there's still a part of me that won't shut up about it, so I give you my casting calls.

( This will probably not make any kind of sense, even if you care about at least one of the fandoms. )

Alright, let's give this posting thing a shot.

Last night, I saw "Let the Right One In" which is a Swedish vampire film. I was impressed with this movie in so many ways. The vampire is not sparkly, not a leather clad temptress or gothic chic yet not a ravening monster. This is very much a Nosferatu and so gloriously inhumanly human.

The film tells us the story of Oskar, a twelve year old boy from a broken home who suffers from bullying at school. He befriends the 'about 12' year old Ely who moves in next door. Their interactions are just beautiful, with the way Ely tries to get Oskar to stand up for himself. I was especially taken with their use of Morse code to tap on each other's walls, and the way Oskar painstakingly copies out a cheat sheet for Ely. Oskar eventually comes to realize that his new friend is a vampire.

Make no mistake though, this is not a feel good or happy movie. Ely's existence as a vampire is harsh, gross and above all else lonely. They don't sugercoat the fact that Ely is the undead. And as sweet as the two are together, there is the hint of wrongness that threads through. It's handled tastefully, but while the two don't have a sexual relationship per se, neither can it be considered a platonic one.

There were so many great moments in this film, ones that I truly don't wish to spoil but that I nonetheless want to enthuse over. This movie will kick you in the gut, pull on your heartstrimgs and then make you go awwww.

This movie is subtle, this movie is creepy and this movie is brilliant.

This movie is also cold. From the snowy winter setting to the loneliness of Ely's existence and the bleakness of Oskar's life, I was left absolutely, delightfully chilled.

"Lasciami Entrare - clip" shows just one of the powerful moments in the movie without being horribly spoilery. I can't say whether it would have more effect watching it in the course of the movie or beforehand. I will say that it's what prompted my dh to go get the movie, and I can nearly guarantee it'll do the same for you. Watch it.

Does uh, anyone still read this thing?

Sorry I disappeared without saying anything for... dear lord, over a year and a half. I got depressed and shy for a bit, and then more time passed and I was so out of the habit of posting or checking LJ. And then I was kind of ashamed to post anywhere, because I'm an idiot.

Yeah, I've got some catching up to do.

Mmm, Jet Lag. Wrote this on the airplane. Enjoy!
