andrewduckerThese ones are for marrog - if you meant to ask me questions, head here.
I feel that most of my friends know me to a certain extent. I also feel that some of my closest friends have odd ideas about me, thinking that I feel quite differently to how I actually do. I consider myself fairly easy to get to know in some ways - it's not like I keep my opinions to myself. But I seem to have a cloaking field when it comes to emotional things, and people frequently seem to misunderstand me, especially when I get defensive or flippant.
I'm a firm believe in pure emotional response when it comes to love. If people are connected to their own emotions, then they know what they're feeling. I don't think there's any one marker that says "This is love" and "This isn't". However, I do believe that people engage in their own Stalinist Revisionism, editing their past experiences into a form that makes their life more story-like. Hence statements like "I just thought I was in love, but now I know the real thing." and "I've never felt this way before."
I have almost no interest in fanfic, there being even more bad writing there than there is with paid-fic, and my spare time not being high enough to make it worthwhile trawling through looking for the good stuff. Discussions of the finer detail of slashfic go around 50 feet over my head. Oh, and I've never fancied Sarah Michelle Gellar, which doesn't help. Eliza Dushku used to be a hottie, but I've pretty much gone off her too.
I'm not actually listening to much at the mo, when I'm outside work. In work it's largely been Laibach, Covenant, various bits of bleep, and the Gotan Project.
And no, complex HTML thingies are beyond me. You could joinlj_style though, they would be able to help you work out how to perfect your LJ.
