glinda: I want everything I've ever seen in the movies (movies)
[personal profile] glinda
So I came back from London, cheered on some friends in the local 10K/Marathon and got my flu shot. And then clearly had a cold working on me before I got my vaccination because what I thought was a surprisingly strong reaction to the vaccine (normally I just a bit tired and stuffy nosed for a couple of days afterwards) turned out to be a stinker of a cold. And once I was better from that it was full on Mod season and then everything just kind of got away from me? (I did my first Radio OB by myself this weekend, and I got the 80/20 placement with Archiving I've been campaigning for the last six months to get. Achievements, but ye gods I'm tired.) I'm definitely not going to make my target of having more words at the start of this November than I had at the end of last November. I've a couple of things almost finished that I might get in before the end of the month but that's probably 2000 words at the outside and I'd need to write at least another 4000 words on top of that so I doubt it. I'll still be starting November with 6000 words more than I started last November with even if I don't write a single countable word between now and then so, that's something at least.

In somewhat related news, I'm now 2 for 2 on picking up pinch hits for movie fandoms and stress writing 5000+ word fills for them. Oddly this one was for [community profile] aspecex but as the prompts were all on the aromantic end of spectrum - sex and sexuality as performance, platonic kink, sex as a tool stuff - it has problably more sex in it than I normally write? (The Craig!Bond films go really hard on both the idea of Bond performing his persona and also his desperate need to belong to someone. I rewatched Skyfall for this, or so I thought, actually after the first hour I remembered none of the plot so I think I might only have seen the first half of the film - maybe I fell asleep watching it one Xmas? Anyway, this film was absolutley made for the prompts I was writing to.) I had a lot of fun writing this one, though it has reminded me of the meme in Doctor Who fandom back in the day of Bond as timelord, and now I kinda want to write it.

Oh no, what rotten timing to get sick! Congrats on the modding and writing progress, though.

"You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself.

"Smell is the most powerful memory trigger there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell - musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly."
- Giles, BTVS

Creativity is... viewing the world from a different angle. Taking things from everyday life that otherwise might seem mundane and go un-noticed, and turning them into something beautiful. Finding beauty where there seems to be none and changing the perceptions of others so they can see that beauty too. Making something out of seemingly nothing...

"They have not wanted Peace at all; they have wanted to be spared war -- as though the absence of war was the same as peace."
- Dorothy Thompson

"Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free."
- Dalai Lama

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
- Pastor Martin Niemöller

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
- Maya Angelou
