[Shaun is not usually one to post things anonymously. He's always been a blogger. He's used to life in the public eye back home. But this... Well. This discussion isn't one he's quite ready to have openly. Not with Georgia around. Not with Becks also here.]

So none of us asked to be dragged to this place, right? But now that we're here, I can't be the only person who doesn't want to leave.

I know that could change. It could change fast.

How do you handle it? Living a life that could get ripped away at any minute?

I know that's always true. I know it real fucking well. But it's even more true and immediate here somehow. So how do you deal with that besides super heavy denial?


[And denial only works so well when there's a quiet voice at the back of your mind, one that hasn't been given a chance to put down deep roots or find its volume, but one that is there and waiting to whisper the worst sort of warnings and worst case scenarios.]

double down

deny that it's not working

[irwins]

Bold solution.

At what point does it turn into Inception? Denial within a denial within a denial. Non je ne regrette rien.

[threeisapattern]

well at that point you're in a cool-ass movie so who cares

[irwins]

Fair point. Could be worse movies I guess. Not horror, for one thing.

[threeisapattern]

yeah

interdimensional kidnapping's pretty solidly scifi genre

[irwins]

Sometimes you get that genre crossover though. Alien. Event Horizon.

This is more sci-fi comic book movie.

[threeisapattern]

yeah ok fair

with like a dose of reality tv with all the celebrity stuff

[irwins]

That part I'm used to I guess.

[threeisapattern]

you were a celebrity back home?

[irwins]

At the risk of ruining the whole anonymity thing, sorta. Not major or anything.

[threeisapattern]

cool, I guess

[irwins]

It had its moments. But can't say I'm fond of paparazzi here or back home.
