Another Perfect Day
#12876: Feb 9th 2011 at 9:58:22 PM

For a while, all I wanted to read/watch was post-apocalyptic or dystopian fiction. Stuff like Blade Runner, Mad Max, Fallout, etc. This ended when the grim 'n gritty-ness of it all started to get to me. Nowadays I prefer slightly more idealistic stuff.

I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.

Dystopias seem more speculative, methinks.

Also I feel guilty for about to making half my avatars from "I Got Yer Can" funny/distorted faces. (That, or Slappy with Cool Shades)

At least you didn't make 180 Patchouli avatars.

I actually will enjoy almost any genre as long as the creator(s) know what their doing.

I don't go for any specific genre, I'm more attracted to certain characteristics.

If it has a half naked person on the cover, I'll definitely go for it.

Wakko and Slappy are the only characters from the show I have more than one avatar depicting.

Skippy's adorable, but "spew" grates on me.

I remember one time I went through the Wikimedia Commons and saved a bunch of avatar-sized copies of road signs, then uploaded them here.

Then like, the next day, I realized I was never gonna used them and I stuffed them away in East Central Avenue's gallery.

What makes a person a "nerd"? I don't identify as such (anything other than "weirdo"/"eccentric"), myself.

Of course not, you just self-identify as an anorak. tongue

Seriously, though, I'm not quite sure what it is that makes one a "nerd". You and I, for example, don't fit any of the common "nerd" stereotypes (anime-obsessed, sci-fi/fantasy obsessed, tabletop gaming, etc.), yet somehow I'm almost certain that most people would call us "nerds".

"Nerd" is one of those words that has no useful meaning anymore. Unless maybe it has another word attached to it, e.g. "math nerd" or "music nerd" or "science fiction nerd" or "font nerd" etc.

So for some reason the AU x CA ship is creepy to me, yet I re-read the Jz The Horrible Shipper saga and laughed.

Huh, I went looking for that and ended up here.

Good times.

(I used to think AU x CA was icky, but I'm slowly becoming desensitized to it.)

Edit: Here's where it starts, if anyone else cares.
