Fandom Eye-wear

I do have an actual substantial post for today. Because I have a lot of thoughts churning in my head, and I want to kinda put them in words and see if they make any sense

Oh look! She's rambling again!

See? You just gotta add a little spice.

Also, sometimes, when you ramble, your topics wax a little on the sexy side. Nothing wrong with sexy rambles.

Um.... yeah, I got nothing. I like pairings involving the core three, but not necessarily in a romantic way.

I like pairings involving the core three, but not necessarily in a romantic way.

I didn't know there were unromantic pairings. Well, I suppose romantic pairings are "ships", and there could also be friendship pairings or somesuch. But it's fandom, and we're all focused on our ships, so nobody really notices the other stuff too much.

"Pairing" might not be the right word. Think of it as more liking Willow & Xander stories than necessarily liking Willow/Xander stories. I typically just use the latter descriptor, no matter the intent of the story. So, I guess, I wasn't quite clear on that.

And fear not. I don't know how to hit on women. Even if I did, my aim would be off, and I'd end up hitting on the dude standing behind you.

Which... would be awkward.

THERE'S A DUDE STANDING BEHIND ME???!!

*prepares to bust out L337 ninja moves*

[waddis]

No, no-hypothetical dude. For the hypothetical hitting on.

See? Awkward.

[gabrielleabelle]

I find it more amusing than awkward, personally. :)

[waddis]

Yeah, I get that a lot. I keep hoping people will find it cute.

But, really, it sticks to funny and awkward. Unless I say something that makes someone think I'm hitting on them, then it's "quirky."

I can live with quirky, though.
