we must reinvent love

[reflectedeve]

Last night I hung out with hermionesviolin, and totally got defensive about the word "emo" (it totally has no meaning anymore, I swear, but anyway MCR do not qualify). Poor Lisbet; she is so understanding of my crazy. Oh, this fandom. <3

I should work on one of my comics this weekend--or probably that anthology submission I've been putting off--but instead, I'm apparently going to write fic. I don't remember the last time I wrote fic that wasn't for yuletide (or comica_obscura, the one time).

Speaking of which, flist, do many of you read much genderfuck? I've noticed that, in many (probably most) of the boy-randomly-wakes-up-female fic that I've read, the story continues to use male pronouns throughout. This makes all the sense in the world, from a self-identification standpoint, but I have occasionally found it confusing, particularly during sex scenes. Do any of you have thoughts on the subject?

In other news, Avatar continues to be the most fucking amazing show ever, and particularly from a gender standpoint. I really need to rhapsodize about "The Boiling Rock" parts one and two, at some point. (I will also definitely finish that crack!comic this weekend, which maybe two or three other people will appreciate.)

By the way, Rel, I am enjoying the hell out of your Revenge Tragedy mix; I think there are a few artists I may need to look into further. And appropriately, one of the roomies and I are going to watch Sweeney Todd (the Depp version) tonight. (Why is my life so themed lately? It is practically color-coded.)

Which Vienna Teng song? I adore "Drought" but don't know much else -- though musesfool is a big fan, so I may have scattered mp3s from her.

Oh, and I have scads of The New Pornographers (and Immaculate Machine), largely thanks to my friend trijinx. And I randomly acquired a bunch of Smashing Pumpkins albums a while back that I probably still have and could rip for you.

My Medea (http://www.sendspace.com/file/pmox3q). I think a lot of my Vienna Teng tracks come from musesfool, too, actually. :D

Ooh, well, if you get around to ripping stuff, that'd be lovely. :) I mean, I have various sources, and my brother probably has a lot of New Pornographers also, but. Music! Always welcome.
