alenxa_classicDreamed last night that I'd gotten invited to some kind of elite pan-fandom meetup to celebrate strong female lead characters. The person doing the inviting, and the introducing of me to the rest of the group, unfortunately neglected to tell me that cosplay was also on the menu. Femslash-friendly cosplay. The rest of the attendees didn't seem to mind that I was in street clothes, kind of like being in the sort of dream where nobody cares that you're naked in the middle of a lecture hall. So I thought, Hey, let's just make the best of this; and since there was already an Aeryn there, I started channeling Ivanova. I was actually looking forward to seeing people's interpretations of their characters (most of whom were supposed to be from comics) and was quite disappointed to wake up after just a few minutes of talking.
Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
Well, I've got a lot to choose from here! I used to be very proud of knowing all the lyrics to "America the Beautiful," mainly because I've met only one other person who did (and she's a music teacher); but these days some bits have slipped out between the teeth of the steel trap. I still do know all the words to "American Pie," and to "The Saga Begins" as well. Weird Al's "Virus Alert" is more of a be-proud-you-can-sing-all-the-notes song, as is the Joni Mitchell version of "Big Yellow Taxi." But for complexity, beauty, and obscurity all rolled into one, I need to go with Aimee Mann's "Invisible Ink." It sounds longer than it is, but I still consider it a good one to have in the RAM.
