lessons

[mamajoan]

Things I have learned from reading queenmab_223's flist:

• There's a popular series of books/movies called the Harry Potter series, wherein the main character is a very sexy guy named Snape who has a lot of gay sex.
  
• There's a popular sexy actor named David Thewlis, and a lot of people like to discuss every detail of his personal life.
  
• A lot of people are really into "Alias" and "Lost." Okay, I actually knew that already. *g*
  
• "Forever Knight" is apparently out on DVD.
  
• customers_suck is still going strong, still very high-volume, still finding new ways all the time to amaze, dismay, and disgust.
  
• A lot of people put a LOT of time and energy into creating icons based on their favorite shows/actors/characters. Their icons get all fancy and stuff with intricate Photoshop techniques and the application of various profound song lyrics. My poor little "take a picture you like and shrink it down to 100x100" icons are getting an inferiority complex.
  
• The aforementioned people post their sets of icons to numerous communities at the same time, causing a lot of flist clutter.
  
• Apparently there's still all kinds of Buffy Karaoke that goes on. I highly approve.
  
• ETA: Forgot this one: I am old. There are people on LJ who have jobs and lives and write fanfic and stuff, who were born in 1983. I remember 1983. I got a retainer and learned to write cursive. I bet these kids today don't even know what cursive is. Y'all will visit me in the nursing home, right?

In unrelated news, Isaac's latest thing is to go into his room and close the door, then cry because he can't open the door so he's trapped. Then I go open the door and he gives me a look like, "What? I had everything under control." I think he learned that one from the cats.

I was born in 1983! You didn't have to read someone else's flist to feel old er... yes?

I know what cursive is. Can't do it well, but yeah.

What is it with all these young people, and I'm starting to feel like an old LJ user, OMG started in 2001 and still going.

And haven't icon styles changed so much?

Other fandoms are always interesting to read about, and Lost is great ;)

Actually I was born in 1983.

I started my senior year in high school in 1983.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much slash the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie is going to generate, now that Alan Rickman's been cast as the voice of Marvin.

I'm totally addicted to customers_suck. It's getting to the point where it's not even funny.

And I was born in 1983 too ;)

There is rarely any straight sex in that universe, though.

A lot of people put a LOT of time and energy into creating icons based on their favorite shows/actors/characters. Their icons get all fancy and stuff with intricate Photoshop techniques and the application of various profound song lyrics. My poor little "take a picture you like and shrink it down to 100x100" icons are getting an inferiority complex.

But they so often also put teeny tiny words on them and flash from one image to another (with or without words) so fast you have no chance to see what the images are.

Apparently there's still all kinds of Buffy Karaoke that goes on.

As there should be.

We called it "script" when I learned it. In second grade before I skipped to third grade after the Easter vacation. Which would have been in 1960. Who's old now? ;-)

Hey, it works for them. Next they'll teach him to poop in the litter box and wash himself clean....
