i am leaving the same words here too bc why not - i ended up on "Last Words" on your site a while ago and completely forgot to comment on it - i love the flow of it and how all the little details just slot into so much vivid domestic tragedy. these lines like "pulling your abstinence by the whiskers with my glass of scotch" go down so cleanly <3

Thank you for the follow and hello! Love Exposure is an interesting choice for a favourite movie. Those were some weird four hours.

Hi! :) And yeah, it's a weird and ridiculous film, but I feel that it never reaches a point where it's alienating or lessers the impact of the more emotional scenes. That's really why I love it: there's so much going on, it's all over the place tonally and pacing wise, but somehow, it works. Perfectly. it's monumental. It feels so full of life. idk

Though I haven't watched many movies, so I don't have much of a frame of reference lol.

pikemalarkey 4 years ago

Oh I wasn't knocking the movie. Whatever its faults, I DID watch the whole thing in one sitting which I can say about no other movie of that length. It's fun and involving, and a true original. I've filed it under 'torture porn' but I'm a bit of a gentle flower that way.

Oh btw pike, I think I've been sending emails to an old account of yours that you don't check/have access to any longer? How can I contact

pikemalarkey 4 years ago

Er, that's weird. I've just tested both e-mail handles (agne@ and pike.malarkey@) and they seem to be working ok. That said, I sent you a story yonks ago but I never received a reply so maybe it's connected? I'll drop you a line on your two e-mails (ratmag and personal), tell me if you get them.

pikemalarkey 4 years ago

Ok, the ratmag e-mail bounced. The other one should go through?

I have just finished the Bomb story and I really enjoyed it. My favourite bits were: 1) descriptions of the pre-Unification museums which made me think of Pamuk's Musem of Innocence in Istanbul; 2) "Telling, sometimes, is to watch someone, and to not pretend you weren’t looking when they notice."

Okay, I have just put 2 and 2 together! But...I was always here. It was you who went missing, Rat mag link went down and everything disappeared. What happened?

Re internet memory #2: interesting that you mention creating lots of accounts. The author of the article you linked to mentions not bothering to feed her Neopets as a kid since they couldn't die. Maybe I'm the sensitive kid here. I could never! The Pound was a constant heartache for me, just its bare existence :)

The pound was so sad!! Sounds contradictory but I didn't care that much for the pet aspect of the game... I liked to explore, play games and attempt to make lots of neopoints. However, I HATED seeing the sad/sick pictures so I kept my current pets fed/healthy, but out of sight, out of mind I guess lol

Hello! I love your take on a minimalist wardrobe, I've never thought about it that way. So do you cap the number of items you have?

hi! i did, i don't officially any more, but it works out that way.

(thought i could add newlines to comments, apparently not). i have a few sort of formulas for outfits that i wear (all black for concerts, jeans and shirts for day-to-day, etc), and because i have these formulas the pieces i own and buy tend to be more versatile; so i even with less of them i can end up with a decent number of combinations. but say i have a fuchsia jacket (i do), i probably wouldn't [...]

[...] get another jacket in that colour, and any clothes i consider part of the same formula also couldn't be that colour, or couldn't be say forest green because that wouldn't be a great combination (in my opinion; no judgement if that's your favourite outfit). so there isn't an actual numeric cap, but the things i need or can justify get limited based on what else i own. does that make sense?

Yup, that makes total sense and is very practical. Unless you find yourself falling in love with colour co-ords :)

Hello! I have excitingly managed to fat-finger not only my own response to your comment on my site, but also your original comment. Sorry about that, it wasn’t personal haha! Thank you for reaching out, it was really nice to hear that you enjoyed reading my stuff. And it’s a good thing you ended up on Neocities rather than Neopets - you don’t know want to know what’s happened to Neopets…

I'm probably too old to be playing Meerca (sp?) Chase anyway (but then...). Anyway, I do enjoy digging through your site so I will surely sprinkle some random comments in the future :)
