How dependent we can get on things. Earthlink crapped out on me today and I was a puddle of babbling goo. And i really needed the break since I'm making up exams and needed to unwind. Pouts. So I called [livejournal.com profile] evil_little_dog and we were both laughing so hard at MXC we were less talking on the phone than pointing and giggling at the TV.

Been reading a lot of shonen-ai manga lately, (and just my luck I'm at the library surrounded by my manga picks, which for those who don't know, shonen-ai are male homosexual comic when one of teh math profs from my school pops over to my table. Head desk). Curiously I've been considering writing a slash pairing for the first time ever. And I do mean ever. Mostly I've always eschewed it, especially when I know the actors and/or creators are against the changing of sexual preferences for their creations. Even when I know the creator doesn't much care (like Joss for instance) mostly I've not seen very convincing cases being made for a lot of the pairings I've seen. So this sudden urge, for the first time in 20 + years of writing fanfic (I've written homosexual characters in my original fic since high school so that's no big for me) is surprising.

Though I was highly amused reading the conclusion of "Ghost", one of the shonen-ai which concluded with the two boys getting together and ends with them fighting who's going to be the bottom and my first thought was Angel/Spike. This is one of the ways slash often fails to grab me, is the total ignoring of personality types. Two highly dominant tops usually don't work. Ah well, the little things that amuse me.

and speaking of amusing, back to thinking of my exams. Ah, the smell of fear in the morning, nothing like it. Whee, I've found a job that plugs into that slightly sadistic part of my personality.

I AM SO BENEVOLENT! Just watch me.

*dies* Uh huh, sure. You don't have "Sparky" there for a favorite character without a reason.

Silvrethorn is more likely to roll her eyes than laugh.

At least you don't shoot flames at them when you're angry. Well, at least not yet.

Oh, I know. It so appeals to my dragon-y nature, that wanting to shoot flames.

PS - SILVRETHORN HAS JOINED US. Go friend her.
