On a more serious note... sometimes, it works. movie-wise, the first thing that comes to mind is Inception. ok, so, the reason it works is that it DOES tie up the story line, it gives you a choice between endings, admittedly, but there is an ending, and it gives you something to work over for hours days weeks - a debate of sorts about what really happened - i left that movie both satisfied AND with so many questions. i think it can be done well like that - a vague ending, if you will - thing is, with novels, you invest days or weeks in reading them and you want a pay off. i have read short stories that were opened ended, and enjoyed them - sort of a moment in time, a story that went on, leaving you to finish it if you will... but, i think they work because they are merely a moment in time, and usually, i've only put an hour or less into reading them. it gave me time to be invested, but not so much that i NEEDED that solid ending. it's ok, in my mind, to have things that aren't tied up, minor plot lines, etc, but dammit, the major characters and story thread had BETTER be tied up (unless, of course, it's the first of a trilogy where it's understood that it's only the first third of the story).
i was back packing in the Andes. there was this cave, i decided to explore it, and there you were, hiding out after a narrow escape from an international spy ring, all dressed in black, and armed to the teeth. god, you looked good, so sexy and so dangerous. you wouldn't give me your name, at first, only your number: 009. you tied me to a stalagmite and ravished me, and of course, i fell completely head over heels with you. now, you keep me in a cage in the basement of your mansion, using me as 'stress relief' every time you return from one of your missions... it's a good life, and i couldn't be more happy.
oh! this reminds me of a story. A few years ago, i spent a summer in Peru with a celebrity (i won't mention his name) on a Llama ranch in the mountains. One weekend, a trio of drug smugglers got lost and drove up through the gates, like just minutes ahead of some sort of hit squad. My celebrity friend gave me the keys to the basement (it had been locked and off limits to me before) and told me to grab some weapons. I mean, seriously, turns out he had a small armory down there, as well as a fully stocked dungeon AND a submarine yard! wow! so yeah, we armed our selves and...
i have amazingly good balance and can stand on one leg without falling over, and usually perfectly still, for long periods of time.
when i was younger, i used to hide in the coat closet right before dinner and wouldn't come out until someone found me.
i don't throw like a girl, i actually have a pretty good arm.
when i was little, my dad taught me how to fly fish.
i sleep with a night light.
i don't sleep walk, but i write on myself in my sleep.
*giggle fit* yeah, i might wear socks, or slippers if i'm too tired to take them off, but heels in bed? talk about uncomfy! now, if we're talking about sex, yeah, if it gets hot and heavy and taking them off seems unimportant, i won't bother, but not as a rule, no.
heh - there's no question that i am the submissive to my partners dominant.
heehee - i have 2 cats... one of them loves it when i spank her back, right next to her tail - she raised up her back end and purrrrrrs super loudly. this, though, is hilarious!
I usually plan dinner. Or breakfast. or lunch. Depends on what time of day it is.
Do we know what time? i'm kind of hoping it's not too early. so far, btw, everything seems olk here. i'll check in again later - gotta go put the finishing touches on our Ark and seriously, 2 of every species? *sighs*
i think you put this in the wrong place... doesn't it belong in the humor section? Best laugh i've gotten all week!
