Being self-conscious to a fault and yet still somehow oblivious, I felt the need to toss myself into the id meme. So go ahead, tell me what I keep doing in fic without realizing it. (hint: my use of semicolons doesn't say anything about my id. the fact that I got a semicolon tattoo might, though.)


Day 04 - A film cliché that you love

Is destiny a cliche? I think it might be, but I love the concept of destiny bringing people together, whether it's magical like in Amelie or doomed like in Hedwig and the Angry Inch or not really destiny at all like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I am a sucker for soulmate storylines, even though I don't believe soulmates really exist. It's a nice fiction, one I like to see or read about, even if I think people who have "found their soulmates" are delusional. I mean, if it makes them happy... I just don't have that much faith in love, I guess.

Wow, that was depressingly revealing, speaking of my id.
