Whatever slump or burn out I was emeshed in, I think it's safe to say it's over. I've written four things in 24 hours - one which will not be posted, for a variety of reasons - and my brain is still crackling and popping like an electrified fence.

I think I was having withdrawals. Though it was weird, what fandoms my mind turned to first. Instead of my most recent fandoms (Silent Hill and Venture Bros) or my staple return-to fandom (HBC), I went for Xenogears and

damned. Half of it has to be the simple fact that I accessed my old music. Which meant all my David Bowie and my Duran Duran. The rest...well, I think there are things I've just been missing badly lately.

I'm dragging horribly on The Dark Tower. Mainly this is because of the simple fact that if I don't finish the last book, it's never really over. And it's been a long time since I wanted something to not end like this. Plus there's the epic foreshadowing, and my insane fear of character death. And I know not everyone's going to make it, but there are two characters I really want to see make it to the end. Sadly, I have a bad history with Stephen King killing off my favorite characters. To drag things out, I'm reading Desperation at the same time.

After a very, very long day for the Silent Hill household yesterday,

nijawial and I are kicking back today with our Stephen King DVDs and a very large pizza order from Domino's. Nija has to work again tonight, and I figure I'll take this evening to work on more writing. We watched disc two of Nightmares and Dreamscapes. The End of the Whole Mess was amazing. I don't see why I wasn't reading stunning review after stunning review for this one. For anyone who's read the original story, this is a rare treat. Nothing was changed. Nothing was taken out or added in. The only thing different was that in the adaptation, Howie is a documentary filmmaker instead of a journalist. I'd just been reading the story a few days ago (Nightmares and Dreamscapes was my bathroom book until I replaced it with Desperation) and the dialogue was word-for-word perfect. The Road Virus Heads North was pretty well done, too. No, not dead-on accurate but an entertaining piece and a fair adaptation.

Then we hit The Fifth Quarter. I was watching the opening (heavily camera filtered angsting of a wife and child) and trying to figure out which story it was. I had thought I knew, but as I watched, I was doubtful and wondering if maybe I really had come across a short story I hadn't read.

But no, the plot had just been butchered so badly that it was unrecognizable. Once they got to the part about the map it all clicked, and I was a bit appalled. We actually shut it off. Now Accepted is on Comedy Central, and I consider that a vast improvement.

Mario? Really? Mario?

Do you have a problem with that?

Not at all! I've RPed...uh, well, not stranger, but...yes. Anyway. Where exactly did you get the impression that Fey would RP Mario? It isn't listed in her interests. Or...anywhere on her journal that I can see.

Because it said she was in the RPing directory group. I have no way of knowing which ones do Mario (and apparently, nobody does)

I'm assuming you don't either?

Is there an RP directory community that you could possibly post to and ask? People RP some kinky shit. I'm sure someone would be willing to play out your Marioworld fantasies.

No. No I don't.

Uh. Good luck?

...Wait, what? I'm listed in an RP directory? Could you link me, please? Because I never submitted myself for any sort of directory.

Check your interests. That is how I found you.

Oh, you mean you did an interest search for RP?

Yes, and SO FAR, nobody does Mario verse stuff (ie, Mario and Luigi enemies, koopas, goombas, yoshis, lakitus)

Maybe you should do an interest search for Mario, and look for people who have both Mario and RP listed? Or join one of the various 'looking to RP' communities and ask there. LJ and IJ both have them.

Also, just a word of advice, you'll most likely have better luck if you email people rather than just randomly commenting on an LJ post. I don't know if you've been around LJ for very long, but most people consider it a little bit rude to comment on an entry just to say or ask something completely irrelevant to the post in question.

Are you a furry?

No. I just RP using different species. I have NO attraction whatsoever to other species or animals.

That would, technically, classify you as a furry. A furry RPs as, writes, or draws anthropomorphized animals/creatures, or animals/creatures with human intelligence. A zoophile is someone who is sexually attracted to animals.

Well, yes, that is what I do, and it is not gross.

I wasn't saying it was.

Yeah, Mario.

You know, "It's-a me, Surprise..."

Well, I'm sure you know how the rest of it goes... :D

Wow, that's sparkly.

Did Twilight rub off on you??

This whole thread is made of win, I'll have you know. :D
