A Fun Day!

[elementalhero]

Hung around Penn State for most of the day with jaderhade , which was awesome!  Except I wore bad shoes, so my feet were blistered and hurty by the end of the day. D:   But they have the most glorious used bookstore ever, and I bought a used book on language in context and a new copy of House of Leaves, which I really really have wanted to read ever since I saw the_sun_is_up 's entries about it. Psychological horror is my favorite.

Diet is...starting, anyway.  I just have to get past the hunger pangs of the first week's portion control, and then my stomach shrinks and I'm set.  I've done this before.


A meme I forgot!  Ganked from tafkae :

Leave me a comment and I will reply with why I like you. If I don't know you, I'll either make something up or tell you why I like your LiveJournal. You must pay for the privilege by posting a message like this one on your LiveJournal.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

D:!!

Oh, and, meme? *shameless*

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I love that you always jump into fandoms purely at my recommendation and then totally outstrip me and embarrass me. It makes me feel kinda cool. :D Also, that you are unfailingly nice.

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

Hee, that's because you are cool! And have great taste. ♥ Fff, I have no life And thanks ♥

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

Muah ha ha haaaa! That book is awesome, but be prepared - it will break your brain. :D

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Oh god I hit page 120 and realized with a sudden shock and cold chill that the story IS THE HOUSE I'M READING THE BOOK AND THE BOOK IS THE LABYRINTH AND OHGODOHGODOHGOD

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >:D

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

[keepdreamingxx.livejournal.com]

do you love me

are you playing your love games with me

(Wow hanging around colleges is not fun for me. -went to hers on Saturday.- :/ Maybe it's just the weather... and the stress... blah.)

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Hate the game, not the player. :|

Okay, so basically you're one of my first LJ friends ever and there are many reasons I love you, not least that we both love wonderful things like Stephen King and Kairiku. :D

[keepdreamingxx.livejournal.com]

..lol what.

Yay. :DDD

oh hey that's my icon I didn't notice. -derp.-

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

And it is a lovely icon indeed. Lol, I stole like five of them.

[keepdreamingxx.livejournal.com]

:D I'm so flattered. <33

[strange_quark]

A friend of mine recommended House of Leaves. I should pick it up. I've heard it's extremely mindfucky.

Ummmm meme I guess? LOL you don't have to.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, you don't even....Read it, by all means read it, but make sure you start on a Friday so you have the entire weekend to finish it or you'll be wandering through your day with an empty hollow look in your eyes because your brain was just shoved through an extraspatial meat grinder.

I like you because you're nice, you are very well-spoken and intelligent, and you play a marvelous Sakura! :D

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

derp derp I should probably remember to do my end of this meme at some point

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Eh, no hurry. Want me to meme you?

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

sure, if that's all right

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I like you because you are funny and artistic! And smart and interesting! I love your comic-a-day project, and your taste in music is absolutely wondrous and I jump all over your download links whenever the opportunity presents itself.

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

saldkjalg y-you really think all that? dsakljll I can't even

I can't even brain right now

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Of course I think all that! I stalked your lj long before I got one of my own, after all.

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

F-forsrs?

....... How would you even do that? It's been flocked forever.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

This will make me sound creepy and more than a little insane, but um... I stalked your userpics page.

1/2

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

PFFFfhahaha that's awesome on a whole new level

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

*waves feet insolently at you*

lol whoops

[as-specialist.livejournal.com]

I like how I have my own tag now... =D

BUT NO DIET. SOUSUKE DOES NOT APPROVE.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

He doesn't approve of me regulating what I eat and increasing my exercise so as to better myself physically and mentally?

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

I have a copy of House of Leaves sitting in my break room at work xD I always tell myself that I'm going to read it instead of smoke on my break (yay for breaking bad habits?) but I never do XDXDXD /fail.

askdjalksdas I just have to get past the hunger pangs of the first week's portion control, and then my stomach shrinks and I'm set. I've done this before.

/jealous. I cannot diet. At all. I flake out because I have no will power xD (see the thing about not smoking :P)

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

READ IT. But, uh...your brain will break. That's your warning.

Ahaha, I only have will power when I get to the point that I am utterly sick of failing. The reason I'm so good at dieting is because I'm perfectly capable of knocking the pounds off, but keeping them off? Ahahaha, so funny.

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

Haha joke's on you, Mr. House of Leaves writer, my brain is quite broken already!!

Ah, this is a good point. I just hate diets in general. They are evil, evilly things. Is there an Ino vs. The Diet fic in existance? If not there SO needs to be one.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

No, House of Leaves will break your brain even more than it was, trust me. The footnotes, god the footnotes...and there are at least three, if not four unreliable narrators all narrating at once because of the way the story is layered within its frames. (It's a manuscript about an academic criticism about a documentary about a house, and that's just the first layer of the book, i.e. the story itself without digging for themes and allegories, let alone the backstories of the various narrators.)

In short--it hurts your head.
