La Belle Laide

Aloha, my name is JulesKD and my real home is here. I use this just to follow people and things I think are nifty.

Before anything else I'm a novelist, in search of an agent, ~~growing a pair~~ refining my query letter.

Stuff I care about: Being art, through Kung Fu (choy lei fuht, broadsword and staff, light-contact sparring, trapping, and forms,) and through dance (Hula/Polynesian.) Human rights, equality, and the freedom of choice for all. Health and wellness, not only for me, but for everyone. I think you have to fight for those things and not just bitch about them. Science, animal rights, availability of information, sustainable living. Movies, music, art, and how best to have fun and adventures. Laughter, friends, joy. I root for the underdog.

Stuff I don't care about: what's fashionable, cooing at myself in the mirror, (I avoid the mirror as much as possible,) who's banging whom. I try my best to avoid toxic stuff like magazines.

Oh, and finally I'm a massage therapist and I love my job! So I could tell you a story, make you feel awesome, dance a Hula, or I could leg-sweep you and punch you in the face. YOU NEVER KNOW.

Ask me anything

So yesterday I posted that quote that Joseph Gordon-Levitt said about 500 Days of Summer, and the selfishness of his character and how unhealthy it was to have that idealized version of someone in your head. It got reblogged over 60 thousand times. Which is great! Because what he said was true, and I’m so happy when people see the point of that film.

But a lot of the comments on those reblogs are stuff like “This is why JGL is perfect!” and “This just makes me fall in love with him more!” and stuff like that.

But I mean, isn’t that doing the same exact thing that Tom did in 500 Days of Summer? Idealizing someone like that?

(This post is not going to get 60 thousand reblogs. ;D )
