I've seen my sister in a wedding dress today! Well, I'm saying 'a' but it should be plural as she tried several. Man, talk about a striking moment, wow! It was so odd and so moving, too. She looked so incredibly beautiful. I mean, I think she is on a good day, don't get me wrong, but she was wearing a wedding dress, with everything that went with it and just - yes, beautiful. My mom and I were completely under her charm ;-) It also looked surreal. My little sister... in a w.e.d.d.i.n.g d.r.e.s.s! Dude!

Doesn't have anything to do with the above but I'm still completely smitten with Neil Gaiman and I enjoy all the different stories he tells us about in American gods and for instance, Wututu and Agasu's stories broke my heart *sobs* Man, that was a powerful tale. I loved Salim's - for different reasons, obviously - but the twins' might be first now. Also, I positively love Shadow! And everyone else, come to think of it. Hee I love that novel! I don't ever want to finish it. Except okay maybe so that I can have closure and can start on the others.

Also funniest thing: I'm pretty sure I'd never heard of Paul Bunyan before I read about him in the novel and I was like Paul Who? Okay whatever. But then today, I'm reading this fic and damn if Paul Bunyan isn't mentioned again! It never fails to amuse me when that kind of thing happens; I'll learn of a new word in English or something new altogether - a name, a theory, a fact, whatever - and in the next days I encounter the word again. It always amuses immensely - don't ask, it just does. I also usually take it as a sign that I need to learn more about it because obviously, it wants me to *g*

And to end that completely disjointed post. Brokeback Mountain came out today, wheeee! Which btw, is pretty funny as puns goes considering the topic of the story ;-)

PS: "Faith" is at 97% atm. Come on, man, hurry up! Gimme gimme gimme!

Isn't it TRIPPY? When I first saw my sister in a wedding dress, I was nine, and she looked *beautiful* -- but it was totally surreal. I mean, I was still a kid, and she was still a kid *to me*. Very strange.

The second time she put on a wedding dress, it was much less mind-twisty. :D

Trippy is right. That was just a wow-moment :-) I'm definitely glad I could go, I'd have hated to miss it!

That was pretty awesome, all right *g*

Oooh, wedding dresses! I would marry just for the wedding dress! And the cake. And the wedding gifts. And the party! *g*

And, yes, Brokeback Mountain! Finally! And, you know what? My mum's going to see it on Friday! Before us!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-18 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The wedding dresses were so beautiful that at one point, I swear I wanted to make an appointment and try some myself! lol

Your mother will see the movie before us? Oh man this is so wrong on so many levels!

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2006-01-18 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
And she even wanted to see it first thing this morning, but her best friend was arriving from Aix-en-Provence today! *facepalms*

You're killing me here, stop it! *dies a little*

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2006-01-18 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
If she buys the poster, I don't know what I'll do... *dies*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-18 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
DUDE! Didn't I ask you to stop? I can't even think about it. We can't lose at gaycowboysmovie to your mother!

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2006-01-19 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I already lost Star Wars to my mother, so...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-19 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Weeeell, that can be forgiven in the sense that man, we weren't even born when the original SW frenzy started... so in a way, you didn't really lose at it *pets you*

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2006-01-19 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even like Star Wars! lol

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-19 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
See, even though you don't like SW, I won't defriend you. If that's not love, I don't know what is!

I was feeling strangly empty, and I wondered, what could it be? Then I realized, oh wait, I haven't groped Mousey in a long time! *gropes you all over*

How odd about your sister in a wedding dress, because my sister also just recently got married. I know exactly what you mean when you say "my little sister.." Waaahhh.

I read American Gods eons ago..it's a very interesting way of looking at things. Gaiman is my secret lover. The only person I ever fangirled like whoa in real life. *cries*

I also usually take it as a sign that I need to learn more about it because obviously, it wants me to *g*

This is the explanation I've been waiting for.

*snoodles you*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-19 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL I was thinking it'd been a while, yes. You've been so scarce lately, I hope you realise we miss you? A lot? So in the meantime *enjoys being groped all over by sexy!perseph*

That was a surreal moment, I tell you. Beautiful but yeah, quite the experience!

I've only recently discovered the true wonder that is Gaiman and yes, I'm so seeing the love.

*kisses and licks and schnuzzles you*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-01-23 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you'll be there, wheee!

And she was stunning, yes, I can't wait for everyone to actually see in her wedding dress *bounces*

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2006-01-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
