Hehe.. Thanks to Amy for the reassurance! :) And also thanks to Dorothy for the compliment. I like your site too; it shows great promise. BJD is a most excellent book and yes, it is hard to get into at first! I remember the first time I tried reading it. I got super confused at 'fag' because I thought it meant a gay man and I was thinking, "How on EARTH do you smoke a gay man?" Then I gradually caught on to the 'lingo'. And I now use v. (very) with frightening frequency.
One image, paired with the right music can bring such melancholy/excited/wedding-y/countryclub feelings. Does this make sense? I saw a commercial for mLife and there was one image, of a hand laying on a car seat with a diamond ring that gave me the same feeling as when I'm reading Talk magazine. I don't know how to describe it. But it's something like-- gah, just can't. But it's a wonderful/scary feeling.
Was watching Antiques Roadshow (Yes, can see the middle-agedness coming on with celerity) in Britain and I noticed that all the men tended to dress nicely, in sweaters with collared shirts underneath as compared to Americans who think a big ole T-Shirt proclaiming "National Beef Meeting" with jeans should be dressy enough. Can you tell I'm an Anglophile? I know I oughtn't be, after hearing the cruel things they've done to Chinese people in the past, but I cannot help it!
