Friending, fandom and family

[pez]

1.

Some people like to see shit flung around for reasons I don't understand. If it's locked to a close circle (which admittedly defeats the purpose) who are trusted and who you know have a sense of humour, then yeah. But when it's open for the world to see, isn't it sort of like saying "hey I want to see fandom wars! Start yours here!"...?

O_o........? I dungeddit, but obviously it's just me, and people will do what people will do. I sit back on my heels and watch the fireworks.

I want new friends on LJ.

I've added back a few people who were defriended back in the April/May (?) defriending spree and never got friended back afterwards *. There are more people in my "friend of" than "friends". I don't add people back because, well, I don't know why they added me in the first place! I don't know who half of them are, they never comment, so I don't add them back.

Mind you, I'm not hoping to become one of those people who have a couple of hundred or even a thousand people friended. Because I do try to read all my friends' entries and there's no way I can cope with that many people - this is not to say those who do that neglect their friends, I just have no idea how they do it. I just want to make some new friends that's all.

* Some people actually defriended me at that point, and so of course we never added each other back. I think they never cared enough to read the reason of the defriending, which I posted a little while before the actual act, and so didn't realise it was a mass-defriending solely because of my personal problems, instead of "I don't like you anymore". Or they just liked to have the same number of "friends" and "friend of" on their userinfo page. This leads me to think it's really no great loss on my part that they're gone.

I love Tezuka. Those who don't love him are missing out on so much. Even if you think he is just toast, there is so much fun in toast!mockery.

This is the 4th year I am living with my sister and the nth time I ask myself how I can put up with this.

I am getting definite Images, but they owe a lot to the fact that I've written a scary amount of AU Cyberpunk fic set in London, and the fact that I can turn almost anything into Cyberpunk anyway. And also to the fact that dystopiarcadia and I are on our third bottle of wine. I should not be allowed to write comments at this stage, I feel.

Excuse me for my ignorance but what's Cyberpunk? 8D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

nvm I just found it on WIki 8D

Yes... It's basically what my fic Gentleman and Trickster is, in terms of the style of tech and all that.

It's a genre I discovered relatively recently -- I'm making up for lost time!

Ah, because I only read the first few paragraphs, so I didn't realise! MUST KEEP AWAY FROM FICS WHILE WRITING.

....which also means I MUST WRITE FASTER. *chants to herself: 1.5 chapters to go~~~*

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

To be fair, it isn't extremely cyberpunk until later on. The first chapter or two are just a little bit so -- then later on I started playing with virtual reality, and things like that.

1.5 chapters to go? Same here, actually. It's becoming something of a mantra, though I haven't made any progress for a week or two now...
