For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

What I get from putting Nikola's "Love is a self-destructive impulse masquerading as joy" with "You made me like you", and coming up with a depressing answer. *smiles faintly*

Forgive me. I am trying, very slowly, to write an essay that is already two weeks late, and it's not going well. I've been remiss in responding to people, and my apologies for that, but it'll probably be a few days yet before I manage to catch up. *ducks head* My apologies.

Also? Sanctuary is bad for you! I'm trying to research factory innovations and their subsequent social effects, and one of the key figures there, of course, is Thomas bloody Edison. It's a very strange sensation to be researching someone so long dead, for an academic essay, and still feeling a surge of petty, personal dislike every time I read his name -_-; Not to mention the brief surge of vindicated satisfaction when reading that Henry Ford, after some strenuous convincing and much objection, eventually chose AC over DC. Last nail in a coffin, there. All this, on behalf of a man also long dead. Sanctuary, and Nikola Tesla, you've a lot to bloody answer for!

Again, for this meme. Might be my last one for the evening, but we'll see.

I was trying to do that meme thing where you put your playlist on shuffle, and write drabbles to the songs. That ... didn't work so well, as it turns out I can only write to music when I'm ignoring it, treating it as ambient sound. I can't pay attention to both song and writing at the same time.

But. I did get two interesting match-ups of song and character from it, one for Nikola and one for John. Not sure if I'll get fic out of them, but perhaps that's just as well.
