I never considered she might be dreaming. She looked high as fuck though so praps was on the old morphine again (or whatever he gave her in Florence).

I so loved the Florence episodes. My friend is going to wedding next year in Florence and she's gonna go see the Primavera. She claims she will send me a postcard with it on with some sort of sinister threat from HL. Ha! I'm such a fucking simpleton I will convince myself it's from him.

Hope I don't take it too far though and sit at the kitchen table with me fucking gams in the pot.

It would be...presumptuous and rude to serve your own leg to him. She would know better. Her technique would suffer.

So maybe if there were a season 3 he'd be alive, but there isn't, so I'm going to go with "WHEEE!" off the cliff, romantic ending for the star crossed lovers and Bedelia dreaming "Well...fuck...I still have limbs and I've been eating oysters, Marsala and acorns..."

The Florence episodes were gorgeous. I have never seen set design and special effects used in conjunction with never knowing whether or not it was real or a dream to that effect.

Add in Dolarhyde hallucinating as much as Will and it just got more beautiful.

Oh fuck me giddy.

Look at this. He's such a fucking manly man I bet he could get the floor pregnant.

Tub's ready to cut off it's claw foot to get his attention. Yup.

Isolated Blurt:

I posted a few "out-there" posts, ie re Julian Assange not being given safe passage for medical reasons, Jeremy Scahill's recents re the new "Snowden-type leaks".
So far, no answer, whereas some of my more moderate posts were tended to.

Oh God, I'm no L-wing lunatic or "dissident", far from it, nor have I been intending to flame with these ones. Moreover, I have friends and relatives in the States, and I intend to keep visiting them.
It's just that I enjoy blabbing on topics that are a bit different or, occasionally, controversial.
But I just realized that, perhaps, mine were not entirely appropriate & that I might have to curb it and stick to less controversial topics.

Hey, you're welcome to blurt here.

I don't blurt 'cause I always want to talk to someone about their blurt, usually, so I un-isolate it.

Say what you want to say, I occasionally don't have an opinion...which is rare.

Usually I have an opinion or I at least want to know enough to have an opinion, even if my opinion is that I don't care.

 

[Recidiva]

Why are you NOT blurting in here?

Oh, right, 'cause I'll respond.

Yeah, that.

Here's a tip...

The NSA does not care.

They can't catch actual terrorists even if they've been pulled in to be interviewed and made multiple credible threats. You're fine saying something random and fairly obscure in a place typically considered less of a hotbed of terrorist recruitment and more of a "Shit, I had a ham sandwich, let me tell you about it" place.

Lol… Thanks, Reci.
I initially thought that too, but I just received a paranoid rambling email from my sister, in this regard.
I'll stick to more moderate topics to assuage her (and, by extension, my) anxiety, tho.

You're going to let paranoid rambling win?

No. Just say no.

Seriously, an opinion is not a credible threat. Don't sweat it. Don't let the assholes win and rob you of your opinion.

Even if it's casual and out of the way, it still belongs to you, don't let fear mess that up.

Good point (not about her, tho - She's been my rock through all my hurdles, and her anxiety/piss-off stemmed from her worrying about my being allowed to visit her every so often).

But - in a similar line: I was thinking that that's precisely what sets Lit apart from other forums: people here are less PC, and more open about speaking their mind.

Well, she doesn't have to stop being your rock, just take a step toward not making decisions out of amorphous fears with no actual basis in reality.

There are a gajillion real things to be afraid of, pick one of those to spend your time on.

There are definite freedoms to free speech, which is why I support it. Lit has a particular community that adds another layer of social interaction, which is interesting, but unless you're really interested in being the "in" crowd (which I don't suggest, cramps styles) then just say what you want to say, let people accept or reject it.

Yes, I used to be like that, but I guess that's why I'm not scared of "growing old" (a matter of perception). Gosh, until my early 30's I was so screwed up and living in fear of what others might say. But the more you 'age', the more life experience you gain & you become more free from crap and rejuvenated, paradoxically.

Where you? Always like that, or did it come to you in time?

Nope - not my desire to be part of the in crowd or of any group. Just interacting on a 1:1 with whoever('s posts)I enjoy.

((sorry about my 'philosophising', it sometimes annoys a couple of people, but you threw in the stick

((sorry about my 'philosophising', it sometimes annoys a couple of people, but you threw in the stick

Speaking for myself didn't really happen until my later teens. I was the youngest child in a loud and boisterous household with a mother who demanded quiet and conformity. She was from the deep South, a constant Lady, always concerned about what the neighbors would think.

So I grew up being mostly unnoticed, expected to be perfect and excel, and be a lovely little lady. It didn't happen.

I started to slip the leash early, mostly by being not at home, but I didn't become vocal or demonstrative until much later.

I ended up dropping out of college, essentially running away and doing my own thing for a good long while.

Philosophizing is cool with me

It happened mostly because I was chronically ill, with migraines, and her way of dealing with the subject was stoicism up front, and vodka privately. I learned to get loud in order to say "I'm not perfect, I'm in pain, I need help" and that was a rejection of her way of pretending she was perfect. So I just extended that to more things. "I will not meet your standards of perfection, yet I still deserve and desire respect." That sorta thing.

Having kids just made it stronger. "My kids are not perfect, but they don't need to be, and they deserve and desire respect."

Indeed. Your point is true: sometimes stressful or negative life events make it -paradoxically- easier to shift your perspective & they make you stronger.
I also suspect that you were more psychologically-minded than I was (I wasn't bad in other areas, but I had to work extra hard in this one).
But on top of that, your upbringing awakened you much earlier - whereas for me: much later, aka the big kick-in-my butt that was immigration.

I have definitely been psychologically minded, always.

I mostly went the opposite way as my mother, I gave up social status and social influence for freedom of expression. I don't suggest other people do it unless they're willing to make that sacrifice. I'm essentially a deeply introverted person who is pretty happy with Netflix and an internet connection, I can always make new friends, and although 98% of people do not get me at all, there is 2% of the population that ADORE me. I stick with them.

It's...snowing. Yesterday the most beautiful fall day, 70 degrees, and now, snowing.

End of days.

Well at least end of one day, and really cold.

I thought my son was kidding.

"It's snowing."

"I wasn't going to look, but it's actually fucking snowing."

"You thought I was lying?"

"Yes! You lie all the time."

"You know, if anybody ever asks me 'you kiss your mother with that mouth' I'm going to have to say that I'm the one in danger."

"You're not lying."

Reci do I really need to finish dragon age 2 to hop into inquisition? I got bored.

Nah. You've got the basics, if you haven't fallen in love with the characters, just skip over to Skyrimquisition. I can give you the rundown on spoilers if when the game starts you've got a bunch of what the fuck.

Much better game mechanics...except I must warn you that you have to micromanage your followers, the AI is kind of inexcusably stupid. "Varric, you are ranged, please do not stand directly in front of the dragon bonking it on the nose with Bianca, thanks, I love you and do not understand why I cannot kiss you. Please do not die."

 

[remy_lebeau8]

Good to know. I'll probably move on to that after metal gear. I'm a month in and only 25 percent complete....

This one isn't 80 percent cut scenes so thats nice.
