This is my introduction post, I suppose. I'm xxinlovebutlazy, but go ahead and call me Serene, my real name. I'm a die-hard Beatles fan, practically a Beatle encyclopedia, and I don't listen to anything but classic rock. Aha, I'm a bit boring. But not all the times, I swear ;D

Anywho, I have a request. I'm a huge fan of The Who's music, but I feel I won't be able to call myself a true die-hard fan until I know the personalities of each member. I know them all by name, but not much more than that. So can any of you dear fans help me out a bit? Here's what I know:

ROGER: Next to nothing. Though I find him the hottest of the bunch.
PETE: Musical genius; Gay, possibly bi?
KEITH: As his nickname "Moon the Loon" would suggest, he's insane. Explosives, goldfish, pills, he's done 'em all. And he died of overdose, which explains a few things.
JOHN: From what I've seen, he seems to be pretty quiet, and serious. I may be wrong, though.

I can tell you absolutely anything about the Beatles' personalities, but when it comes to The Who [one of my favorite bands of all time], I know nothing. I'm sure you lot can help me out.
Thanks in advance! (:

i feel kinda bad! facebook remains much easier to make random posts. alas, i still exist here...i read my friends page regularly but don't post comments very much. that's how i roll, i guess....

it seems like the only time i ever want to post is if i am feeling kinda down or just guilty i haven't posted in a while. i keep saying i will start to update this more often but it never seems to happen.

anywho- i'm stoked for thanksgiving. we will be in toledo this time. we can only stay until friday evening because of greg's silly schedule at panera...so we are going to be booked solid seeing family and whatnot.

this evening has been very low key, as opposed to last saturday- a ton of vodka turned me into a crazy mess that result in major uselessness the next day. it was fun- i enjoy my fellow production leads very much, even if i did have to end a phone call to run inside to do the cupid shuffle...haha...

greg and i saw new moon yesterday. i don't understand my fascination with this saga: the books are poorly written, and the acting in both films have been pretty atrocious...but i swear, the people involved with the franchise must put crack in the books/movies because i am still drawn to it! though i must say, the best thing about the movie was the entire audience cracking up when jacob first came onto the screen...someone behind us even said 'ew!' haha...i'm satisfied; i will not go to see it more than once....

bonnaroo presale is next friday :) only about 200 days to go!!

we bought tickets to jim gaffigan as well- he will be at the state theatre in columbus in february. we randomly stumbled upon his show soon after they went on sale and managed to score ninth row seats!! we want to buy a bacon alarm clock for him to sign...! (if you are familiar with his stand up, this won't seem nearly as strange)..

what else...in laws were in town a couple weeks ago. it was fine....we ended up playing loaded questions, which is the greatest game EVER.

i joined urban active, too- the kenwood location is not completed yet, so i snagged a super awesome deal for signing on early. i know it's a good one too because greg's mom pays over twice what i am paying a month. BOOYA! since i paid my membership up front (read: a big chunk of change! :-\) i've been motivated to go and get my moneys worth. so far i have been doing up to 6 miles on the elipitcal and other running-like machines they have and it makes me feel awesome. i can't wait until the classes start up- i want to get my turbo jam on!

i guess that's all i feel like posting now. if you are reading this, there is a good chance i miss you and that i haven't talked to you in a while. until next time...let's try to make it sooner than 5 weeks from now...!

my first ever contact with Dostoyevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’ fell on a very complicated pattern of my life. I haven’t passed my re-training yet and the overly compound language blocked the roads and trails of correct perception. the novel was completely foreign mentality and language-wise. I suffered through the first reading, failing at exploring its profound ground hopelessly.

thus the weakly founded aversion for Dostoyevsky’s works was born and inwardly justified.

many years after that sad encounter I came across a movie which had one of the most considerable effects on me, as an easy depiction of my general position in society (or what seemed similar to the level that I pictured myself on) and my urgent mood.

the (practical result of this viewing) reflexes were to look up everything about the movie, including the script and numerous interviews available online. to my enormous amazement the script-writer was tangibly inspired by the above mentioned author. some of his particular works were mentioned, studiously found by me and swallowed in a matter of two nights considering quite an amount of material to be read.

my meaningful relationship (friendship) with Fyodor started off with ‘the double’ , which demanded a lot of me as a reader. it wasn’t a common, chewing-gum-ish read but rather a small life, a bitter tragedy that is so real it stings your skin if you choose to participate. inspiration flooded over me, I re-read passages and chapters of his short-stories and novels (although not willing to borrow his ideas, the atmosphere of his mind was like a replete bowl of inspiration, so quite a nourishment for my own fantasies).

‘Crime and Punishment’ was laughing at me, I felt that through its pages. the book had a devilish charm about it that I still am not quite capable to explain or grasp in its entirety.

the only reason why I’m writing this silly confession to a journal is to express the extent of my delirious affair with the novel. it’s absolutely otherworldly and yet painfully veracious. also, I'm completely bewildered at the possible sources of this man's geniality and awareness.

I’m not sure if one reading is going to be enough, so hopefully this is not my final review (full of fascinated gasps).

the summary so far: patience makes one wiser. time makes one understand the true purpose of patience.

i still like livejournal better so im stayin here :oP
