The Doorway: a panfandom game

Claude Monet was a master despite his cataracts; we would never see his gracefully blended colour (I am partial to wisteria in place of waterlilies) nor the subsequent fade into the different fields of perspective. For all we know, if he had not had his slowly worsening eyesight, he would have been a caricaturist or (god forbid) Caravaggio. As it is, I thank his lack of clear eyesight most profoundly for the works he produced.

I say all of this because I too -- setting myself to ledgers at the art-supply store or to my own books and writings in the evening -- have noticed the world blurring a bit at the edges and going soft, if you will. Soft to spare me, I first thought ... then not so much. Soft because my near century-old retinas are telling me that they want a little down-time.

Officially, I need spectacles. Unofficially, I suppose I can use them to read. When I came back, the manager suggested that perhaps I attempt to be a little "more hipster" and I certainly don't know what me means. I am who I am and these fit my face fine. Ultimately, I think, he liked them too. But because of my (only slightly) grievous discovery, I bought myself a consolation prize.

So, consider this a request ... can I take your picture?

BRB, shacking up in a coffee shop for the rest of the evening. Starbucks coffee beans trump rotten eggs.

Also, book recommendations? I'll stop off at the library on my way to my bad-odorless refuge.

Has anyone else seen our new movie trailer? Our Marks look drawn on by Isabelle's eyeliner. The muns who're making this movie clearly have no idea what a Mark looks like.

I've avoided reading the books that are my 'source material' or whatever the hell you want to call it. Walking by the bookstore I saw another one was released, focusing on events that happened over a century before I was actually born. It's tempting. Did Magnus like glitter then as much as he does now? Important questions.

Great party, Vicki and Rebekah! I had a lot of fun and it was nice to meet some people. And, hey, no one got turned into a RAT, so it's officially better than the last party I went to.

I'm probably going to regret this, but I was wondering if you'd want to go shopping with me.

Hey, do you maybe want to

I'm going to have to go shopping this afternoon. I picked up a few things the other day when I got here, but nothing green. Not to mention, I can't just wear the same three hoodies forever, I guess.

The ever brilliant Sherlock Holmes suggested I should organize an outing to the parade tomorrow morning. I planned on going anyway, but if anyone wants to come along it should be pretty giant. And crowded.

Who: Clary Fray; open to Jace, Isabelle and Alec
When: Saturday after her arrival/around 7pm
Where: Jace, Izzy & Alec's apartment
What: Clary's looking for some answers.. and some familiar faces
Rating: TBA

( Izzy and Jace hadn't been happy to see her the last time she'd made a surprise appearance. Only Alec had said it was nice to see her, which was just weird, because most of the time she was pretty sure Alec didn't even like her. )

Truth or dare?

I've had people complaining left and right that I should've taken Blaine back, that I'm so lucky to have found my soul mate and that he's miserable without me.

So do me a favor ladies. Retract the claws and get a life!

And if I hear or see anyone exhibiting the slightest hint of homophobia, I will not let that go unchecked.

I don't particularly enjoy being thrown into an interrogation session and having my weapons wrestled away from me.

I'd like them back. Now. And, yes. That was nicely.

Saturday night and I am bored senseless. This is just sad.

So, I've been here for like...almost four months now.

And sure, I get that people are totally jealous, but it's getting old to have people not like me. Like. Really. Why don't people like me?

I swear, by the Angel, I am surrounded by ignorance. For the record, I'm real. The books written about my world are scarily accurate but there are at least 746,500,000 moments in my life that were lived but never written about and I'm sure the same can be said for the rest of us refugees. No one wrote me into existence and no one can write me into someone I'm not.

Couldn't they have just solved all their woe by not writing you as a lesbian to begin with? <— So that just happened.

I have...absolutely no idea what to do for Piper for Valentine's day. I need help. Like...now. S.O.S., mayday, whatever.

[/FILTER]

So it's Valentine's eve. Is this like Christmas eve, where we have to celebrate it too?

It's my birthday on Friday which means we're going to go out and party until we drop.

People get ready now. It's a marathon, partying with TJ Hammond, but you'll never forget.
