I realized something about a week ago. A friend of mine really, really, REALLY trusts me.

Me and my brother just watched the ending of Bioshock: Infinite

Wow

I realized way before that the sory was going to be wierder than Bioshock, but I really didn't expect it to be twilight-zone-meets-outer-limits that it was in the end. I'm not saying the story is better than the first's (it's probably as good, but that requires more analysis to determine) but it is much grander in scope. And it's so very delightfully meta-fictional. I also loved what the ending did for the emphasis of the story: when Elizabeth appears, it looks like she is the axis around which the plot hinges. But the ending makes it very clear that your character is, and has been since the beginning, the axis of the story; that the story exists for you rather than through you.

I'm really sorry about the Elizabeth we met and came to care for, but she was very brave and Comstock had to be stopped

And remember: there's always a lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city

A friend who's having a get together just texted me. He says, 'where the fuck are you bro?'
That's easy to answer.
Dead. Never existed much to begin with.

peace, out.

I am man, yes I am. Now, on with it!:

1) Did you know that Black Sabbath is getting back together?
--Yes, I did. I believe it is the 8th sign of an upcoming apocalypse. Keep your fingers crossed!

2) In post-apocalyptica, what will you name your badass raider gang?
--There's only one possible name, one that will inspire fear in all my enemies. Beware the Mauve Avengers!

3) If you could have a fifty foot tall battle mech, what would you paint on it?
--Every possible yaoi involving the Z warriors. Even if I'm battling eldritch abominations, I'm counting on them being too distracted looking away, or looking at the scenes, to attack.

4) Combine the names of your three favorite bands into one odd-sounding name:
--Iron Judas Slayer Maiden Priest (kind of sounds like a manga).

5) If you were going to stake a sparkly vampire, what kind of alcohol would you celebrate with afterwards?
--An appletini, in honor of my late adversary.

6) If you could fight any fictional monster, which would you like to slay?
--Easy, a hekatonchire. Give me a katana and a hundred hands and I shall make it rain fingers.

7) What's the weirdest thing you've ever heard someone say?
--Hold still while I smell you (context: I ran into a friend of mine in college one day, we talked a couple of minutes and then I went on because I had somewhere to be. As I was about to turn a corner, this girl friend calls my name, walks up to me, says that line and proceeds to do so. I was like WTF-crazy--turns out that was her way of saying 'I like your cloth perfume, tell me the brand'. For more reasons to my bewilderment, look at the next section)

8) If you could punch a politician, who would it be?
--Hillary Clinton, she looks like she can take one better than Obama. Then she'd punch me back, we'd take some swings at each other, then I'd rip off her cloth, she'd rip off mine, we'd wrestle a bit, she'd come on top and grab my... I'm sorry, what was the question again?

9) If you could make your own game, who would the main protagonist be?
--Johnny Derringer, an alcoholic, workaholic, drugaholic, candyholic, christmasholic, chainsaw-smoking PI with a week till retirement, who insists a conspiracy of pharmaceutical bears are behind JFK' and Lincoln's assasinations. Or if it has to be an existing one, Conkers the Squirrel.

10) What's the last thing you vandalized?
--Myself (no, not that, not even REMOTELY what I meant)


Five things about me:
-I have issues with personal space. I can count the number of hugs I give in a year with my hand, and it is never a reactive action but rather a well-thought choice. I cling to walls and back away from crowds, and always leave a bit of space between me and my friends and family.
-When I use stairs, I always climb two steps with each stride. ALWAYS.
-My favorite color is green.
-I'm kind of... addiction sensitive. I stopped smoking because my grandmother found out and I promised her I would stop (this happened when I was 16) and I know it's the best for my health (med student) but I still hang out around smokers sometimes, for the passive smoking.
-The internet stole the rest of my innocence when I was 12, during a cold March day.


And the next ten are:

Here's a little something I got in my head:

My mind has broken into pieces
And all the pieces of my soul
Have flown away as will-o-wisps
Or frozen in my heart of stone

That'll be all. Peace, out.
