the kind of human wreckage that you love

+ a_carnal_mink posted SPN fic! Other than a drabble she wrote a while back, I think it's the first SPN fic she's posted. GO READ, IT'S AWESOME. It's Sam and Dean and it's a_carnal_mink's brilliant writing. Just. GO, okay?

The Disconnect, NC17 for consensual m/m incest. Spoilers for S2.

+ An awkward conversation, another ficlet in the About A Girl 'verse, is finally posted. I'm not sure I'm really happy with it, because while I think communication is really important in a relationship, I'm not convinced that 20-yr-olds agree. Then again, when I was 20, I wasn't looking for communication or relationships, I was looking to pick up random guys at bars and parties. So what do I know? And this needed to get posted so the other snippets I have in my head make sense, so. Posted. On to the next bit.

+ Also, there's an untitled Spencer/Brendon drabble written for vic_ramsey, because she was absolutely correct when she pointed out that "SPENCER CAN OBVIOUSLY, EASILY HOLD BRENDON AGAINST A WALL."


In OTHER news...

+ why_me_why_not asked why there isn't more Brendon/Shane/Regan polyamorous HEA fic out there. Being easily distracted, I asked myself why we shouldn't create some. *head/desk* Because I need another distraction from my already-huge WIP file.

+ Read Bone Key. I liked it better than Witch's Canyon, but I am still not completely sold on DeCandido's characterization of Dean and Sam.

+ Missed seeing Ludo at the Javajazz the other night. But they'll be back for Buzzfest XXII, so I can handle the disappointment.

+ We are now the only couple in our cohort who are not pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or the parents of a newborn-to-toddler-aged child. I feel like I'm being discriminatory saying this, but I think I'd like to cut back on the socializing with them for a while. A party here or there is cool, but an entire three-day weekend of it? NO. MrIris is fine: we go to a party and all the men hang out and grill and drink beer and shoot the shit about sports. The women talk pregnancy and baby shit. And you know, that's fine if that's what they want to discuss, but I'm not interested. At all. I don't want any knowing looks and sympathetic glances. We're not pregnant for a reason: we don't want kids. My biological clock isn't ticking; I'm pretty sure that alarm was never set.

I hate that I feel the need to apologize when I don't want to hold one of their kids. It's nothing about them. It's that I just don't get the gooey, OMG-a-baby-can-I-hold-it-please rush that most other women apparently do when an infant in a onesy is present. I get the oh-Christ-am-I-going-to-have-to-feed-it-change-it-stop-its-crying, where-is-its-parents-so-they-can-do-this feeling instead.

And I love college football, baseball, and hockey, but somehow I *still* get the "women don't really understand football, but it's sweet that you're trying to be interested" look when I join the men and say something logical about sports to them. Like somehow not having a penis makes me unable to appreciate sports. WTFE.

+ Last night I watched TBPID when I couldn't stand the rhetoric of the RNC any longer. Nrgh, Ray Toro (who is shredding on my chest RIGHT NOW). Disenchanted is the story of my adult life, I think. Plus, I love the way he has to sit to play the acoustic for the opening and closing bars of the song, but not the electric in the middle. Also, the faces he makes: HAhahaha, your tongue, Ray Toro!

Speaking of TBPID, has anyone screencap'd it? (I'm too lazy.) I want an icon or a header of one of the moments (during I Don't Love You at Maxwell's, I think) when Frank, Mikey, and Ray's guitars are all lined up, the necks parallel to each other, their hands on the frets. You know, one where Gerard isn't *blocking the view of Ray*?

+ Jon Walker, please to be singing the harmony for the acoustic version of Northern Downpour all the time. Please? Kthnx.

+ I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to the Town Hall Meeting this afternoon. John Culberson (R), US Congressman from Texas's 7th district, and Andrew C. von Eschenbach, FDA Commissioner, will be reviewing research and answering questions.

I just. They'll talk about doubling the NIH and NSF budgets, but since any increases in budget have disappeared due to inflation and cost-of-living changes (which were neglected for, oh, a decade or more while Reagan, Bush I and Bush II were in power) I am not impressed. Also, compare the NIH's FY2008 budget to what's spent in Iraq per month. I remain unimpressed. I don't know if I can eat lunch and then listen to that without vomiting.



ETA: OK, which of you guys has a copy of Metallica's leaked Death Magnetic and wants to share? *flutters eyelashes* Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Those dolphin-like noises you just heard were my squeaks of joy. THANKS! :)

Thanks, I've snagged the downloads. I am looking forward to being having them on my iPod.

I'm with you on the kids things. Nearly all my friends my age have sprogs but luckily they aren't prone to congregate and talk about it.

I think maybe it was just that it was multiple consecutive days? And there were a lot of babies and pregnant women in a big group (is there a term for that? a gaggle?) instead of dealing with individuals, so the focus of the conversation ended up being kids, etc.

TBPID caps!

*flails happily*

Thank you! :)

I don't mind babies. I kind of like holding them and playing with them. But then I say, "Eh, I'm not too stuffed about ever having one" and I get looks. And then I get shit for being young and I'll change my mind. Sure. Maybe. But that doesn't negate the fact that right now, I categorically DO NOT want children. Liking babies does not equate wanting them, either. /rant.

:D

Last night I watched TBPID when I couldn't stand the rhetoric of the RNC any longer.

A wise switch, I do believe.

Dude, I had to do it again last night, because I was practically foaming at the mouth, yelling at the TV while Romney and Palin talked.

Only I put on LOTMS instead. Brian!!! Frank!!! Gee!!! *cough* What?

Oh and I forgot to thank you for pimping me! *slaps forehead* Of late, it seems, I am the world's biggest flake[1]. Somebody shoot me.

*big hugs*
