Randomness @_@

1. Just assume for a moment that we knew someone who was able to control our switches at will. They are trusted, and they say it's for a good cause, but if anyone gets out of line, they want to be able to have control. What would you do? >< Mind that you love them, trust them, know they're a good person, know they'd never hurt you, know they want to help and be supportive, but just can't get over the fact that they have that ability..

2. Re the anime DVDs, our relocation is on schedule and soon after we arrive in Boston we'll be able to send copies out. ^^ (link to the previous post) Apologies for not being here more, it's been crazy.

3. We're trying to think of an actual name for our sys but have no idea where to start. The name would be a legal name and should not be a name that any of us specifically has. It should be more than "just another name", but at the same time it'd be the cloak-name to use in work situations, so it can't be too weird.

4. How do you deal with a pretty mutual resentment and fear of externals, singlets in particular? Everyone who says they understand seems to lie. It's been getting pretty bad, to the point that we wonder if we should even worry about others, even though at least half of us are pretty social and would suffer.

5. Any opinions on the movie Serenity? It was pretty triggery for me, although I loved the whole "Am I talking to Miranda?" joke. :P Yay for making fun of things that deserve to be made fun of.

6. Not the best publicity, but I (and thus all of us, in some small way) was in the news, though it's for something stupid. The fact that we are, well, we, ended up coming out, you can see if you scroll down, though the reaction predictably SUCKED. Still, thought you'd like to know.

7. Anyone in the Boston area?!?! :D

(Sorry for the monstrous post. ^^;)

2. uh, yay :D

4. We've only run into skeptics. It sucks. ~.~ It'd be just like a singlet walking up to the 5-year-old sister of a friend of theirs (let's suppose their friend is 45 and male) and saying "I KNOW YOU ARE BILL. TURN BACK INTO BILL." Uh.. that's not trying. -.-;;

5. The entire movie centers around a girl who is a paranoid schizophrenic with some sort of dissociative switching, with strides being taken to prove that she's a person too, blah blah. She's cute anyhow, who cares about the details.. ^^;

6. *giggles* Yep yep, I did. ^^; Could have gotten 8 or 9 running but the guy who made the emulator that can run those is a JERK. Ugh. ~.~ He said that since I was not approching him with a business proposition he wouldn't provide me with documentation. Oi. >< As to the point of it, well, the PSP is a computer, and I use computers for emulation.. I shouldn't have to give up doing something I may want to do. :o

Forgot to say that I luvs that LJ icon. :o

Man, that must have been some bad summary I was reading. Said she was an "emotionally unstable telepath". Okay, I'm starting to see why you asked.

Gabe mumbles something about stories of telepaths who inadvertently experience identity merges with the people they contact, but he's mostly asleep.

Stick with the summary you read. River is an emotionally unstable telepath. She's a bit nuts because of the stuff in her head and from the things the government poked around with to make her psychic. She also gets violent on occassion but there's usually a good reason even if the people around her aren't aware of what that reason is. She isn't schizophrenic or dissociative. The seeing her as a person line is because she was trained to be a weapon that could be triggered through subliminal messaging. Mal rescued her even though he was running the risk of her killing his crew because he believed in her as a person. There's a lot about belief in Serenity.

I agree with pengke about River. There was even a breif exchange of dialogue in the movie that poked fun at the idea that she was harboring a secret, destructive identity. It was almost like Mr. Wheadon was saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to use that tired old plot device."

[ex-nanonyan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, as mentioned in my original post. ^^;

[ex-nanonyan.livejournal.com]

Dissociative. Dissociating from one's current identity or reality..

I'd say she does that? o.o

The reason it was triggery for me was because there are a few people, from friends to aquaintances to doctors, from all walks of life, who are trying to convince me that I was some sort of SRA victim, where states of paranoia+delusion+dissociation are intentionally brought on to screw things up.

I was never quite sure what to think of all of that but I dismissed it as nonsense. Still, whenever I read about that sort of stuff, it *Scared* me, and the movie scared me.

So, yeah. o.x I guess it was how I saw it, sorry.

[ex-nanonyan.livejournal.com]

Nyo, emotionally unstable telepath works too. It's the cursed doctors getting to me, sorry. x.x; Too used to labelling things with that sort of.. crap. -.-

It's hard to get rid of psychoanalytical jargon.

Well, I think I'll wait till it comes out on video, but it sounds like it's worth a viewing.
