as if my area isn't creepy enough.

[soundczech]

The city has been enveloped in this thick fog, like we're living on the moors in a Sherlock Holmes novel. I do not know if that reference makes sense, as I have only read one Sherlock Holmes novel and in it he was an opium junkie and it was primarily urban, but the general impression I have of Sherlock Holmes involves fog on the moors, though I am unclear about exactly what moors are. Anyway, point is it's sort of creepy, especially because it's pretty abnormal for Melbourne to have fog to quite this extent. I took that photo while walking home from a party tonight. I sort of expected to get murdered because bad things happen in the fog, but I made it home safe.

I took my bike for a ride on Tuesday and rode like four or five kilometres, which is really not all that far but I am pathetically unfit so I was pretty impressed with myself. I had grand plans to take it out every day, so of course I promptly fell ill on Wednesday; all I did for all of Wednesday and most of Thursday was sleep and try not to tilt my head too much as it lead to insane dizziness.

When I was a little kid I used to have dizzy spells, when I was about three, I think. My mother said it used to freak her out so much because she'd always worry it would happen while I was climbing the monkey bars or something and I'd end up dead. I seem to have survived alright though. I don't really remember it, except for this vague impression of sitting on a brown velvet armchair in my house in Canberra and looking at a picture book and then the room suddenly spinning. Thinking about this is making me feel ill again.

I want to do some kind of meme but I can't think of anything.

sam: what's your post about?
fitz: i took a photo of the fog
and then just rambling to fill space
uh
illness
sam: why is there so much
it freaked me out
fitz: dizzy spells when i was little
sam: well no i just thought my glasses were dirty
then i dismissed it
fitz: no it's seriously foggy :|
sam: maybe the world is ending
wouldn't that be cool
fitz: we could camp in an abandoned shopping centre
sam: OH MY GOD
FIC WHERE
fitz: toast marshmellows over a fire in a bin
sam: KAME AND JIN
AND PI
GET
LOCKED IN
SOMEWHERE
AFTER HOURS

All our conversations end up in the same place.

That is a lot of fog. I've had this gross acidic feeling in my stomach for months and despite taking multiple antacids a day, nothing happens.

Paranoia, drabble, who is hotter, anon love, anon hate, truth or dare, five questions, haiku, opinion on characters, DO A MEME!!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

See a doctor D: I constantly advise my friends to see doctors despite refusing to do it myself.

I might do some kind of photo meme tomorrow. I am now sleepy.

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

[altricial.livejournal.com]

I'm still impressed by your cycling. In my head you've turned into Kaidoh, training day and night by the river. I find the fog very pretty lol it looks like heaven!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I'm more like Karupin, lying around in bed all day.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

:( are you still ill? Everyone is ill :(

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Nah, not really. Not like before. The dizziness has stopped, that's all I care about.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

That's good. Did Sam tell you Edda has moments of intense insanity. Jimson just came back and he sent her a pic of the fog saying, "Look I'm in heaven!" and she got offended because surely it can't be heaven without her. Why are girls like this.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

... please tell me that's the worst of it.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

LOL. this is nothing compared to what she was like 2 months ago. Jimson was so frustrated he wanted me to talk to her lolol I was all, sorry been there done that. lol. Once he made this rimshot joke about falling in the bathroom when she asked what he was doing and she got mad for days because she felt he doesn't take her seriously.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

DOT DOT DOT

[altricial.livejournal.com]

I know. His life. He had a big talk with her and basically told her not to expect him to change, which I thought was really awesome. Her insanity frequency has decreased a lot but it's totally bubbling there under the surface.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

So adult.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

I was proud and impressed.

I know I'm the only person excited about this but DID YOU SEE THE BRATZ MOVIE TRAILER? HTCDJYFGUKH :(

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I didn't, though I saw a poster the other day. Bratz are so fucking creepy.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

The black and Chinese ones look just like the dolls.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Like cold blooded coke whore serial killers?

[altricial.livejournal.com]

dead. i remember having to research them and the WINX CLUB when my child client went on and on about them.

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

lololol.

[unrequitedangst.livejournal.com]

Your lives are a JE fic.

I told Sam maybe I will write the shopping centre later. For some reason, the idea of them all sitting around a fire is seriously cute, Kame freaking out about whether or not the cops will come and arrest them for trespassing, Pi and Jin being like, "lol fire".

I am just so apathetic right now. I have lost the ability to write fic that is not in a chat window or LJ comment.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

WRITE IT I WANT IT. I totally want an apocalyptic je fic too, I love post-apocalypse narratives. People living in the ruins.

[unrequitedangst.livejournal.com]

jakl;fjakfaj OMG, I LOVE APOCALYPSE FIC.

When I was, like, thirteen, I used to read all these books where the world ended through some kind of horrible nuclear disaster or random disease and then people had to ~*come together*~ to rebuild civilization. The world needs this as an AU. *______*

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Kame and Pi go missing and have to find the others, everyone looks to Jin for leadership, he's like, oh my god what do I do... but sucks it up and by the time Pi and Kame find him he's like, this authority figure but the second he sees them he just bursts into tears and becomes really lazy again so they have to do everything.

[mclachlan.livejournal.com]

It's like Close Encounters of the Third Kind all over again!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Oh no Now I will be constantly worried about aliens.

[storyteller.livejournal.com]

:( sorry about your illness, i was ill yesterday too. :(( though most of it was just hangover/lazy.



um, do some kind of poetry meme. or writing meme. write je/naruto...

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

hmm, a poetry meme I don't know what I'd do though. I really don't actually write a lot of poetry... as for a writing meme, I never actually finish them.

Are you feeling better?

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

I WANT POEMS.

[molt]

Fog is terrifying, because in scary movies, when there is fog someone always dies. It's like a rule. I don't remember if I commented on your bike post but bikes and me just don't get along. I hate them with a passion almost equal to my fish hate. I hope you're not sick anymore :(

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I know, and I'm the type that would die right at the start of the movie, the boring expendable one.

I HATE FISH TOO. Well only for eating, I like fish when they're alive. I have a phobia about eating fish though. I've seriously had nightmares about it.

I am no longer sick, it feels like some kind of huge accomplishment .

[font.livejournal.com]

okay, so it wasn't dust storms, though i really don't see how what it actually was is any better at all:

font: how weird
you had a drought last year
huh
thewhiteprophet: usually really brown here. and dry. it's always really dry.
font: droughts by the ocean seem weird to me.
thewhiteprophet: god jenny
we are seriously always
ALWAYS
in the middle of a drought
font: :(
thewhiteprophet: we always have water restrictions
like always
font: how unpleasant.
thewhiteprophet: yeah seriously
and like
in summer
these bushfires
man
this year they were seriously insane
like
this one burnt for SO LONG
LIKE WEEKS I THINK
we had all this smoke everywhere, really gross
like you could look out the window
and just see white/grey
font: oh god.
i just
how awful!
thewhiteprophet: I KNOW
I WAS JUST LIKE
font: that is completely crazy
thewhiteprophet: DUMP SOME FUCKING OCEAN WATER ON IT WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE


but i just wanted to say that your insane fog makes me like your upside down and backwards city of fire a little bit more. i love fog. we get really heavy fog here sometimes; i have to cross the mississippi to get to work every morning, and there will be weeks when the bridge just seems to vanish over the river -- you have to take it on faith that if you drive onto it, you will make it to the other side.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Yeah, summer was pretty blankface this year. The bushfires are far away though, we live in the city! It's just the smoke drifts. Sometimes it goes all the way to Singapore. Bushfires here are pretty insane.

FOG IS TERRIFYING. I would never do that, the bridge thing. I would end up trapped in my house.

[giantessmess.livejournal.com]

It's foggy in suburbia too. Creepy.

Yep, I do believe there's fog on the moors (sort of a wide flat plain somewhere around yorkshire?) Think Wuthering Heights and Heathcliffe bashing his head against the knot of a tree on his wild ramblings on the moor....
Never read Sherlock Holmes.

ok, tangent. Nice picture. I love fog, it's so eerie and post-apocalyptic. There needs to be fog in the adventures of Archer.

Hah, you and Sam are totally Enid and Rebecca from Ghostworld. (the comic, not the stupid movie).

hehehe.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm confusing Wuthering Heights and Sherlock Holmes. I hated Wuthering Heights.

Maybe Archer can get lost in some fog?

Are we . I've never read the comic.

[yamapea.livejournal.com]

:( Dizzy spells. Get better. :( The fog pic is pretty but it sounds terrifying.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I am better .

It was pretty creepy. That hotel is like an abandoned construction site, too; they started turning it into apartments and then ran out of money. MAYBE IT IS HAUNTED...

[yamapea.livejournal.com]

MY MUSEUM IS HAUNTED. They used to use it to store bodies apparently skdjfkj hate working alone. :(
