[tofty.livejournal.com]

But I love the music that you sent to me! :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 This is how I know I am getting old, by the way: I have never heard of about half the bands on your CDs before, and this would have never happened ten years ago. I'd never have allowed it to happen!

And oh, how much do I love that you are the sort of person who falls in love with cities? So very much. I hope your city does right by you, from here on out.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Oh! I forgot to mention that I used a quote from Ragtime as a jumping-off point for a senior paper on Expressionism. It went, "Across America, sex and death were barely distinguishable," and it was a sloppy paper, but my teacher loved it, and he loved the quote. He was kind of a sloppy professor, you see, but very cute.

So yeah! Read it! Loved it! And also You Can Count on Me!

[alkaloid.livejournal.com]

I wrote Russian, but I totally meant Dutch. *headdesk*

[tofty.livejournal.com]

ahahahahaha, and here I was thinking OMG she wants to learn Russian <333333333! Dutch, is extra-cool too, though. So that's okay. And house with yard! I would love that myself. (And I like hourse. Maybe I will try to use it myself.)

And ahahahaha, I went to take a look at ticklingdragons and I am ashamed to say that my first reaction was OMG I WANT TO BE REMUS OR WAIT MAYBE MCGONAGALL OMG. But luckily I have restrained myself from applying. So far.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jormungand_/]

I would be infinitely pleased with either. :)

[gin-n-chaser.livejournal.com]

I am being good. I am not showing up on your LJ and begging. See? This is me behaving. And not trying to think of things to bribe you with.

.... Unless you're interested in some black-market kittens? I have some, you know. Just saying.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jormungand_/]

Er, it's totally my fault she's not begging. ;)

[tofty.livejournal.com]

O_O

The thing is that I am not much good at RPing! I am slooooow to update, and people wait on me and start to hate me.

Or at least, that was my last experience of it, smack in the middle of kind of a bad time for me, and I don't want people to hate me again for a character I'm sitting on but refusing to play, you know? I'm feeling better, now, but.

I'll tell you what. If you're serious.... Give me a chance to think about it? I'll look things over and think about who I'd like to play, and get in touch with you--would that be okay?

And if you're not serious, that's cool too. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jormungand_/]

Oh, we didn't mean to make you feel pressured! *hugs*

I was just excited because I know you. That's why I bounced over to GinnyMun all excited like. But I would never EVER dream of asking you to do something you weren't 1000% comfortable with. :-*

I would like to see you apply, but only if it's what you absolutely want to do. I know it's a lot of time, and if you think that it would a fun time-killer, that's one thing. However, if it's something that would stress you out and make you feel obligated, then don't worry about it. :) I'll still respect you in the morning if you don't apply. ;)

[tofty.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW ME OKAY NOW I AM FILLED WITH UNCONTROLLABLE CURIOSITY

You know what? I always thought your Z was the first letter of your last name! :O , I say! :O!

And I missed you too! Very much! Your snarky fandom entries fill me with the reminiscent fandom joy.

Re: I would like to learn to cook one day, too.

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

The Z is also the first letter of my fake fandom last name, but then I decided that I needed no fake fandom last name and just kept the Z.
