non-fic things (two)
day off feels so, so, so good. i actually forgot how much i like having one day off every three days instead of two in a row.... not that i even remember what that's like anymore either, lol.... either way, am blissed. bathtime tonight because dear god, my legs are not used to supporting me upright for 8 hours at a time, and i am sore as hell.
also, probably finishing SGA S4 tonight courtesy of ceilidh being an amazing upload fairy. just watched 'midway' which had me loling so hard at ronon and teal'c (who i know nothing about except for this ep and i love him!) and also omfggggggggggggg when sheppard tells rodney to vent the atmosphere and rodney flips out a little-- i love when rodney calls him 'john' because he almost never does, and he did right then and i handflapped. kind of a lot. likeaglass are you laughing at me? i can hear you laughing at me...... anyway. i also figured out that they show SGA reruns on syfy at 5:00 tuesday wednesday and thursday, and while they're showing mostly S1 right now (boo, no ronon) i'm DVRing them anyway, for kicks, and will sift through to keep the ones i really love on there. obsessed much? nah. XD
i have to say i'm really more amused at myself than anything else, when it comes to my level of squee about mckay/sheppard as an otp. i never get like this about ships anymore; the last time was with star trek, and before that i don't even know. i was super into neal/peter when i first started white collar, but that to me is more about loving the canon than the fandom. with SGA and john/rodney it's equal parts canon and fandom-- i love this canon to death, but i fucking adore what the fandom has done with it. with white collar i don't feel most of the fic i've read (with a few notable exceptions of course) adds a lot to my understanding of / feelings about the ship. with SGA and star trek both, the fandom is just so rich and there are so many fics that actually build the world for me, that i can't help but fall in love with it all over again every time i read a fic that blows my mind. and i don't know why the ship is so inseparable from the canon to me, either. i don't know; either way between these two fandoms over the past year my adoration of sci-fi has been completely rekindled and i am so looking forward to the reading list i have ahead of me (both fic and sci-fi books i've been missing out on).
sidebar for a possible future post/essay-- it's really interesting to me to note the evolution of my fandoms, my ships, and my preferences when it comes to what kinds of fannish things i give my time to. i'd be interested to examine a possible correlation between things happening in my life/the world, things i tend to write about, and things i tend to read, and see what matches up. i swear to god if i could clone myself i'd send one of me to grad school to write a thesis on fandom, fanfiction and storytelling. maybe in a later life, after i'm done paying off loans from my first overpriced education. ;D
time for more advil. i swear to god my body is like WHAT ARE YOU DOING I THOUGHT WE WERE OKAY WITH THE OFFICE THING, lol. and i need better shoes..... time for real doc martens, methinks. :3
