Kitty> Like, yeah, really!
Joel> Are the Keebler elves coming? Or... cumming?
Bonnie> You bastard! :::weeps:::
Mike> :::like another airhead::: But I wanna cuddle! Like, really! Phsaw!
Clay> First, let me come up with a brilliant, insane plot to make everyone want to have sex constantly with everything that has a pulse!
[15:17] hwilde1912: KITT> I'm human! I want to completely have sexx0rz!
[15:18] hwilde1912: OMG, Rach. We're going to BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!
[15:18] CommanderTeddog: Good. We can get a condo there.
[15:18] hwilde1912: My soul. It has expired.
[15:18] hwilde1912: It is gone, alas, and never to return.
[15:18] hwilde1912: Enrico> Damn.

More of it here.

Later:

[15:35] CommanderTeddog: .... man, office talk gets nasty.
[15:35] hwilde1912: Eh?
[15:36] CommanderTeddog: Whenever we chat at work, this happens.
[15:36] hwilde1912: I don't think we've ever reached this level before.
[15:36] CommanderTeddog: ::nodnods:: This is a new level of... something....
[15:36] hwilde1912: It's like crossing into uncharted territory, and finding the sickness that lurks in the hearts of man.
[15:36] hwilde1912: And slashy fangirls.
[15:36] CommanderTeddog: And fangirls.
[15:36] hwilde1912: ::grins::
[15:37] CommanderTeddog: You're in my brain against. :D
[15:37] CommanderTeddog: *Again
[15:37] CommanderTeddog: Look, you broke it too. This is why I can't have nice things.
[15:37] hwilde1912: LOL!!
[15:39] hwilde1912: Okay, enough. Blaaaah.

Even LATER:

[15:45] hwilde1912: Oh, it wouldn't. It's just trying to crawl back out of Hell and back into salvation.
[15:46] CommanderTeddog: ... I'm now thinking of a twisted version of Dante's Inferno. Enrico as Virgil and Nance as Beatrice.
[15:47] hwilde1912: ::chuckles:: I'm more wondering if the slashy fangirls will quietly seethe to themselves that we dare parody them.
[15:48] CommanderTeddog: I hope we didn't fuel the fire.
[15:49] hwilde1912: I doubt it. I think it's pretty obvious that it's a parody.
[15:49] hwilde1912: Like...
[15:50] CommanderTeddog: Subtext = Buttsex, though. ::frowns::
[15:52] CommanderTeddog: Damnit. Last thing we need is ShadowKnight suddenly with little kitty ears
[15:53] hwilde1912: BrainBreak Theater Presents: Brokeback Satellite!

Act I:
Clay> I must recapture Joel and send him back to the SOL. Because if I do that, it will completely ruin the premise for my experiment and force two heterosexual Midwestern males to throw aside all of their repressed Midwestern upbringing and have wild monkey sex! That will give me the opportunity to have wild monkey sex with that gorgeous male model Frank, who has a body like a butterball turkey and that's unbearably appealing to me, though the fact that me bottoming would result in suffocation!

Act II:
Joel> :::holding Mike's jumpsuit to his face:: I don't know why I can't quit you!
Mike> :::about to hang himself from the ceiling::: I don't know why I would give up my strongly right-wing leanings and church-going philosophy in order to give you the opportunity to 'start' me to begin with!
[15:54] CommanderTeddog: OMFG You've lost it.
[15:54] hwilde1912: Yes. I have. Please, put one between my eyes so that I might be put out of my misery.
[15:54] hwilde1912: ...but you have to admit. It is funny, in a very satirical way.
[15:56] CommanderTeddog: Yep.

I'd rather sound incomptent - which I already do, I suppose - than feel horrible about prying into people's lives, whether I am breaching their privacy or not.

... yet you're on Livejournal?

But the issue is that you aren't prying into someone's personal life by reading an interview and pulling out information. It's like... okay, last semester I research CityTV for college and poked around in interviews with Moses Znaimer and Allan Waters and their business lives. I could have taken the easy route and used the popular idea that Moses Znaimer is really God of Canadian media or at least CHUM, which is seriously what kids in Southern Ontario are raised to think. However, after digging through interviews, you find out that Allan Waters as been pulling the strings for a very long time. The difference between being incompetent or not there is a matter of having a paper that has vapour content or a discussion that has merit.

The info is out there. The writers/actors/whatever decided for it to be out there, or else they wouldn't mention it to the public.

Commander Rick's my main and usual example (excuse me for bringing him up again). It's clear Rick is from the Toronto area; there is no other excuse for all the Toronto references that he makes. Surprise, surprise, Rick Green lives in the area too. Toronto is a real place. I'm going to look like a total ass if I write "Then Rick rounded the corner of King and Queen, storming south through Chinatown and up the 50 steps to TVOntario's front door, coming face to face with Enrico." Yeah. That whole passage was bullshit; King and Queen are parallel, Chinatown and TVOntario are far away from each other and the entrance to TVOntario is on the first floor, maybe up 5 steps at most. I'd rather know what I'm talking about than sound like an idiot.

And you can't blame me that my local subway stop is UNDER TVOntario, so I pass it every time I go out. That isn't prying, that's just good fangirl luck.

The Brains made it public information in the first place so I don't care if others don't read it. I just don't like reading them because it makes me feel odd.

I'm not saying that I hold others to these standards, and I don't attempt to. I just do what feels right for me in this case, which is that I chose not to read the interviews. I do read everything else out there.

And yes, I still feel werid about reading about others' lives on livejournal.

It just comes across as a very odd standard, especially from viewed from the point of view of a person who lives on the study of pop culture.

To be honest, I felt "odd" about reading interviews of people I respected for a long time. Like, Marshall McLuhan, for an extreme example. However, when I got in touch with my emotions, it turned out to be both:

A) I was misreading extreme giddiness. As in, couch bouncing fangirl giddiness. I was embarrassed to fangirl things, mostly because I was scared to be happy because of...
B) Shyness. I was scared that the Powers That Be would have something against me, even though I had great respect for them.

This was back at a time when I was extremely self conscious, which is not now. I was scared of people seeing Signal Loss in general; now I think it's a hoot that I get fan mail or that someone joining my Red Green fanlisting thinks I'm a staff member on the show. It also helps that I've had time to grow up and stand on my own two feet. In the past, I would have been scared to be in the same room as Mr. Green. Now, I'm going to see him on stage and I'm going to damn well enjoy it.
