The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated

[kiki_miserychic]

I was shopping last week when someone from high school kept staring at me and squinting. I loath seeing most people from high school to the point of lying about who am. It's stupid and childish, but it works. So the girl is squinting at me like she's trying to figure out who I am or something, so I casually said hey. Her repsonse was "I thought you were dead!" Turns out some rumor has been going around that I died when I was in the hospital. I have no idea where, who, or how it started, but she heard from someone who said that someone found out I died in December. I should have kept ignoring her.

It's been a while since I've posted recs. I finally have my laptop back and fully functioning after a month of it not working properly. Most of the time was finding someone that could figure out what was wrong with it and waiting on parts.

VID RECS:
buffyann's La marée haute (Lost) - Perfect emotional song choice and clip choice. Desmond is a character that feels and projects emotions, which are captured very well. I always felt like Desmond was 5 minutes from breaking down completely in so many of his scenes. He grabs so desperately to things, while his storyline is so fractured. The vid does a stellar job of pulling him together enough to hold the viewer while he falls apart and tries to make the pieces fit. The barely contained energy is measured out with the cuts and clip choices. It's the emotion that carries the vid when the storylines might not. He's everywhere and nowhere at the same time, but it's Penny that tethers him.

talitha78's "White" & Nerdy (Psych) - I'm continually in awe of the quirky motion and movement, as well as the lyric interpretations. I love how witty the concept is and how there's different levels of interpretation.

tearful_eye's Day Carry Night (Criminal Minds) - The disorientation is beautifully done with the editing to the piano notes and the additional movements like a carosel when you want to get off.

You should have told her you had in fact died, and were now a zombie feeding on brains, but that obviously, she had nothing to worry about, before quietly walking away, humming to yourself.

You're so right! I should have told her I had a thirst for brains.

The funniest part was when she said, "oh my god, everyone thinks you're dead!" Umm, ok, the people that matter know I'm alive, so not everyone.

ugh, definitely use that zombie-line if anyone ever asks you again about being dead... that's such a stupid thing to happen.


also - thanks for the rec!

Damn that's a fucked up rumor but it's kinda funny too. Love the new layout and I'll check out those recs :)

I hate living in a town that's so gossipy. Ugg. I think it's hi-larious.

I change my layout so often anymore. I get bored very quickly, I like this one. I might keep it for more than a week. :)

People are weird.

Thanks for the vid recs. It's not something I usually seek out but always love watching.
