On a serious note:
Does Your Language Shape How You Think? - Super interesting article! I am fascinated by this kind of thing and how so much of who we are and how we act is subconsciously influenced by our environment. I am less on board with the idea that because the German Spanish have a masculine word for bridge and the Spanish German have a feminine word for bridge, that the German Spanish therefore imagine bridges all stout and tough and "manly" and the Spanish German imagine their bridges delicate and, what, girly? (ETA2: I suck at having a memory. Also, Spanish.) But aside from that weird stereotypical bit, the rest of the article is really, really fascinating.

ETA: HAHAHAHAHAH

(3:10:26 PM) shanghai progress boys.: ARGH somehow i read that as

On a fannish note:
♦ FORGET WRITING. I HAVE FOUND MY NICHE IN INCEPTION FANDOM. I will (1) read too much and rec a lot, (2) have awesome sleuthing skills in recognizing anon authors on the kinkmeme ([livejournal.com profile] weatherfront & [livejournal.com profile] jibrailis in particular, ohoho), and (3) incept fic ideas into other people who will write things and make them awesome (e.g., [livejournal.com profile] deepsix, [livejournal.com profile] cherrybina). :3

♦ I have this troubling giant crush on JGL's face and dat ass. When I say "troubling" I mean "no one in the world can blame me for this, right?" And by "face" I mean "CAN WE KEEP HIM IN A SUIT FOREVER?"

HAHA QMI WHY SO PRECIOUS. I love my flist exploding about this. True ship is true. ♥

Arthur doesn't wake up planning to fall in love with a bank robber that day. Then again, no one does.

On a personal incoherent and capslocky note:


I CAN'T. WHAT IS THIS. JUST. LOOOOOOOL, OKAY, LMFAO FOREVER.





JUST. PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU-- COMPARE THOSE PICTURES WITH HIS ELOQUENCE IN INTERVIEWS. GOD HE IS SO-- THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR WHAT THIS MAN DOES TO ME, OKAY. I LOVE HIM.

Can I just say: thighs. THIIIIIIIIIIIIGHS. My icon should give you hint enough how I feel about thighs.

How is he even real? And can I sleep with that?

ALSO:





alskgdhfjsldkl. Jesus. Jesus fucking wept.


/goes to marinate some pork

Is that a euphemism.

I CAN'T. THIS ENTRY. ASDFGHJ.

Okay first of all. FIRST OF ALL. Yeah, so that fic? Is happening as we speak. FOR REAL.

Re: JGL. I just want to bite his ass so much. And omfg his face. His little faaaaace. It does things to me. Terrible wonderful things. And that boy in a suit, oh my stars and garters. ESPECIALLY IN A VERY EXPENSIVE AND IMPECCABLY TAILORED SUIT UNF UNF UNF.

Re: Tom Hardy. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME OKAY. I cannot even process him. Like, my brain literally does not know what to do with that kind of information and goes all asdfghjkl. However, the two things I can work out are in my pants, please, and I WANT HIM TO SQUEEZE ME WITH HIS THIGHS.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I CANNOT LIE, I TOTALLY ENTERTAINED MYSELF WITH THIS POST. Especially since most of it involved staring at various pictures of JGL and Tom Hardy. It's a good way to pass time, I think.

And your mention of garters makes me crave crossdressing!Arthur with stockings with seams and I just. Higher brain functions sort of stop there.

I cannot look at the picture of Tom making the ridiculous 8D face with that stuffed doll thing without bursting out laughing. HOW ARE YOU LIKE THIS, T-HARD.

just had a short look at the article

"I am less on board with the idea that because the German have a masculine word for bridge and the Spanish have a feminine word for bridge, that the Germans therefore imagine bridges all stout and tough and "manly" and the Spanish imagine their bridges delicate and, what, girly?">

you mixed this. the article actually says that the German word is feminine, while the Spanish word is masculine.
this just jumped at me, because I was thinking about any masculine German word for bridge and couldn't think of one.

I am writing! Or...attempting to anyway. It is so much harder than just reading and reccing, or spotting anon authors, or inception. :( Cobb's got nothing on me, man. If only I were paid ridiculous amounts by Saito to incept fic ideas into other people.

JGL IS AT LEAST MOSTLY CONSISTENT IN HIS *__*-INDUCING-NESS. TOM HARDY, ON THE OTHER HAND. I just. Can't compute how so much ridiculousness is contained in the same man who can rattle off French directors and their works at the drop of a hat.

UGH WRITING IS SO HARD. IT IS EASIER TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE DO IT. I have approximately 150 words and already I'm flopping around making faces at it.

I wonder if staring at pictures of Tom Hardy will help inspire me at all, or if it will just distract me forever. Mmm where is the filthy filthy RPS in this fandom, seriously? I love Eames but there are NO WORDS for the ridiculousness that is Tom Hardy. I totally want a fic where their different types of douchery come together. :D And then, of course, there is making out.

People are seriously so fascinating, the way we are all so different and influenced by so many different factors.

[identity profile] jibrailis.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
TOM HARDY, JESUS CHRIST, YOU HAVE SINGLE-HANDEDLY KICKED MY REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM BACK INTO SHAPE IN THE HOPES THAT I CAN ONE DAY CARRY YOUR GENETIC MATERIAL INTO THE NEXT GENERATION.

*stares at those pictures*

*stare some more*

Oh, and language article! I love thinky thoughts about language, so I'm off to read it now!

My thinky thoughts about language usually all funnel down to one thing: damn, I wish I were fluent at multiple languages!

Oh, wait, I just read the article, and it is not about the Whorfian Hypothesis at all, and it is super interesting! And it does not try to come to a conclusion on the matter, which is even better, and-- stars in my eyes!

However... MORE IMPORTANTLY, you're writing the bank teller / bank robber fic!!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!! That is still the more important part :D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But they did start off talking about his hypothesis and Why It Failed! So you were still relevant. :D

Isn't it interesting? I can't imagine what it's like to know cardinal directions inherently, like "front" and "back". This stuff is so fascinating, why am I not studying it instead of...what I'm studying. Argh.


...well, depending on what you mean by "writing". I will write it, eventually.

OMG THE BAAAAAABYYYYYYYYYYY MRAWWWWWWWWWWR SUCH A HAPPY BAAAAAABYYYYYYYY




also thanks for the article! spanish! I tend to dissolve into, like, a smoosh of incoherency when it comes to anything spain-related nowadays but I WILL PREVAIL.



also wrt the genderfuck you were talking about elsewhere, I was thinking how interesting it would be if someone were incepted into thinking they were of the other gender. but then you'd have to explore transgendered issues with great sensitivity and D: so never mind.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOOOOW THE BABY LOOKS SOOO HAPPY TO BE SMUSHED TO TOM HARDY'S FACE. WHO WOULDN'T BE, GOSH.

hmmmmmm I have seen some prompts on the meme for transgendered character ____ but I'm not sure if they got fills. Though I do hope that if they did, the issue was handled sensitively. I do know that there has been lots of genderfuck though, usually Eames forging a woman or sometimes always-a-girl!Arthur. But those are usually for sex purposes and not for, um, great exploration.

hahaha it is definitely Inception Arthur. OH MY GOD LIZ WRITING IS SO HARD. I HAVE LIKE, 200 WORDS NOW AND I WANT TO CRY. It doesn't help that this fandom has such incredibly talented authors and then I read their stuff and then I'm like .____. I don't want to write anymore.

My marinated pork was great, thank you! I stir-fried it with tomatoes and eggplant and it was delicious.

I would never be able to understand feminism and masculinism in languages. They don't exist in my language, for one, and I just don't know how one would/should apply them on stuffs. I took French course once and couldn't stop asking "BUT WHY?! D:" on this matter. And "it just is" doesn't count as an answer.

One the other note, how is Tom Hardy even real?

He should be illegal and banned for life for destroying our brain functions, reducing us to incoherent, screaming, horny beings; or everyone should be allowed to have a piece of him. I prefer the second.

If Hollywood doesn't recognize him more and give him more roles I'm gonna cry or I'm gonna cut a bitch.

Oh JGL, I can write freaking poetry about his face and ass, and I don't even like poetry. This man-boy is just...IDEK.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you just have to memorize them when you're learning that language... Or if you grow up in it you just never question it, since it's what you grow up knowing inherently.

Oh man do I want to see Tom Hardy in more films. Though I should work on watching the films he's already been in...

CAN I JUST CELEBRATE AGAIN HOW AWESOME THAT LIVERPOOL WON AND NANDO SCORED? \o/ :D
