More reflecting and shit

Aug 16, 2012 20:38

Sup all. Feeling better about my grandmother's passing, but it still hurts. Especially when I wake up early in the morning. Usually I would give my mom and grandma their synthroid pill before going back to sleep. Now I just give it to mom and I think about how I would usually give grandma the pill first and she'd tell me I'm Johnny On The Spot. I guess I was on time usually, but sometimes I feel like I could've done more for her. But she's in a better place now.

Just some random fic shit I have to say. As I've mentioned way back, I'm a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys fan. Truthfully, I leaned more towards Nancy Drew than the Hardys. I just found her and her supporting cast a little more fleshed out than the Hardys. Even though both followed the same basic formula, the teen sleuths get into shit and get out of using their superior wits. I recently had a chance to get back to the library and I finished off both series before they changed to a Case Files format. I still liked Nancy more than the Hardy after all. The author Stefan Petrucha and his wife Sarah Kinney did a good job capturing the spirit of Nancy and making it fit for a new generation. Scott Lobdell wrote most of the Hardy's stuff and it was fine, but the main problem was they made that series all action basically. They didn't really try and make things too taxing on the brain for the heroes. I did read the first Case Files and I do like that they're playing up that Frank and Joe are two different people. It looks like in the second one, they'll break up. I'd really like it if they keep them broken up for a couple of volumes before putting them back together.

Damn, that was a long paragraph up ahead. There's plenty of Nancy/Hardys fic on FF.Net and I'm a member of a Nancy Drew fic community here on LJ. I wish on that community that there was some Frank/Nancy fic there. I also wish there was some ND femslash period. I stumbled on one fic that had Bess/George overtones in the background. You could easily do Bess and George. They practically had George as a lesbian anyway in the old school books. Bess would be a bit harder since they constantly had her pining away over boys, clothes and food but there have been many femslash pairing created from a lot less. Hell throw Nancy in there with either cousin. To me, Nancy's true love is as a detective but the friends who have been with her though thick and thin can get her to change from Ned and shit.

And while I'm on this femslash kick, I found freaking Carmen Sandiego femslash and it was good too. I barely remember the cartoon of Carmen Sandiego. Truthfully, my favorite shit was the PBS game show and the old school game of course.

Just for the record, fuck Fox News and fuck these crazy Republicans that are running the party. Way back when I first got the right to vote in 96, I almost put my party down as Republican mainly because I liked Reagan and thought OG Bush wasn't THAT bad before I changed to my current Democratic affiliation. Now 16 years later, I know I'm voting for Obama in Nov without a shadow of a doubt. Obama isn't perfect, he's buckled on stuff he shouldn't have buckled on but I'll take my chances with him than a guy who doesn't stand for anything except money and privilege.

Peace out.
