I think it just boils down to the fact that 2003 has a lot more things that "ring my bells" as far as fiction goes. More morally-complex villains, really good soundtrack, the movie has them end up in the Weimar Republic and I'll like pretty much anything set there as long as it's not TOTALLY historically-inaccurate (which CoS isn't other than some allowances for it "it's a fantasy series"), etc.

(They do do the thing that annoys me most about fiction in that time period, which is, treating the whole period as a build-up to the Nazi takeover. That makes sense in something like Cabaret that's set only a few years before the actual coup, not so much when it's set in 1923 as CoS is. Even in Munich, which was the Nazis' regional base of power IIRC. They still weren't that powerful yet.)

One thing that did really annoy me in 2003 is how much time they spent on Al's post-Barry-the-Chopper identity crisis. Barry the Chopper and Kimblee were both characters I liked much better in Brotherhood (though, Kimblee and Archer's sexual tension was hilarious) - in fact, I freaking LOVE Brotherhood!Kimblee and I hated him in 2003.

I think you should come out of the closet. You will get caught eventually, and you might get a worse punishment if you are caught.
If my parents found out that I spend all my time talking to strangers who are generally older than me on the internet, whether they found out about it or I told them, I hate to be pessimistic but they'd never let me back. My punishment would probably involve me not being let on anything but Facebook and having my computer time limited to when a parent is home. ._.;; I have no plans to tell them, and I reckon I can hide it for awhile longer.

If you ask me, what you're doing is harmless. At least you're not sending nudes to guys like some girls I know.

I wish my parents thought that way. It's not me they worry about, it's the other people here. I'm pretty sure both of my parents have a mindset that everyone on the internet wants to rape me and no one is trustworthy.

Urgh, that whole sending nudes thing is disgusting if you ask me.

God bless that I am now 23 so nothing they can do :d, also I think that most kids that grew up with internet can handle themselves and don't do stupid stuff.
Okay I trolled sometimes but never did anything really bad except that I bought some bootleg Chinese gen III games.

Also yay I got my beloved Erika back, now on to change my avatar and my sig and such back :d.

My parents never really cared what I did on the internet, they knew I was smart enough not to give out personal info or fall for scams.

My dad is like that he even got so paranoid that he unplugged the internet for a couple of days because of I dunno what feeling spied upon I guess.

Everything is the same again :)

My dad and sister both have their own internet lives so I'm pretty sure they don't care.

Well, I get you, cuz I do the same thing... Yet, I am not sure that you are not April Fooling us... xD
BTW, how do you know that I am not April Fooling YOU?

Late April folls pranks are incredibly unfasionable.

They're also incredibly effective.

That's why I asked in the first place...

Finding Dory appears to be legit.

At least it isn't Nemo getting lost again.

I've felt like I should be more careful about my Internet life overlapping with my real-life since the whole...thing that happened a few years ago on some feminist blog that I've mentioned here a few times.

Then again, integrating my Internet and real-life identities means I have less to hide, and thus there's less bullshit that my Internet enemies can make up about me by implying that I have something to hide.

The fact that my Tumblr is linked with my Autostraddle author profile means I've basically been obvious about who I am on there, using my (first) name and age and everything. I feel like it's made me more paranoid about what I post, though.

Well you could probably tie me to my real me but :/ changes are that would be a waste of time to do.

I dropped enough info and even photo's here should it is possible.

Ow and I know again why I always wear headphones, music out of my laptop sounds awefull.

Honestly, if someone even bothered to even try to dox me, I would hardly care. It's not like I post a lot of controversial things.
