The terrible thing about writing is that it just doesn't get easier. It gets better, but not easier. My sulky inner teenage gothygirl says this is Just. Not. Fair.

From Spider-Man 3 we learn that when you are evil, you let your hair hang in your eyes. You wear eyeliner. Your fashion sense improves drastically, as apparently does your income. Not to mention your dialogue. And when you are practicing your dance moves on the sidewalks of New York, women find you sexy instead of looking at you like you are the world's biggest spaz.

I think there were some other things the movie wanted me to learn, but you know? They just didn't stick. Not like Tobey Maguire in eyeliner stuck.

Not to be crass or anything.

That was pretty much what I took away from it. Also, that when Tobey Maguire wears eyeliner and practices his dance moves on the sidewalks of New York, he is the world's biggest spaz.

did you say Tobey Maguire in eyeliner?

oh god, I am a pedophile. *g*

You could put "tobey maguire in eyeliner" in your LJ Interests...

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

it's code!

Acquit yourself--he's older than I am.

(Err, and I am older than I look. Nearly thirty, even.)

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he was like twenty when I had a crush on him at first, and that was disturbing.

[kate_nepveu]

. . . was he wearing eyeliner then?

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

No. The crush predates the eyeliner. *g*

[pixelfish.livejournal.com]

Bah, I am thirty. I thought you were my age.

[kate_nepveu]

That's "nearly" for values of "less than two months to go," so I think that's close enough?

As we learned from Joss Whedon, evil also makes you wear leather pants. (Angel doesn't; Angelus does. Faith does.)

Go evil.

[litalex.livejournal.com]

Faith isn't evil... :p

[pixelfish.livejournal.com]

And evil Willow.

I think the women on the sidewalk do think he's the biggest spaz; it's the people in the club who appreciate his moves. :p

Mmm yes. And what valuable lessons they were. Lessons I think I will need to relearn over and over again when it comes out on dvd ^_^

I haven't seen Spidey 3 yet, but I might have to just to see Tobey in eyeliner. ;)

Some of the women seemed to be looking at him like he was a spaz. Others didn't. It was very confusing to me.

[ronin-kakuhito.livejournal.com]

I took most of that message away with me, but I am pretty sure that they were mostly looking at him like he was the world's biggest spaz, until the Jazz Club scene. The difference was that while he was evil, he didn't think he was the world's biggest spazz, and he didn't think they thought that.

Don't forget the cookies!

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

That's right!

When you are evil, cute Russian girls bring you cookies.
