Excercise in Positive Thinking

Jun 24, 2010 01:46

So, last night I had this nightmare: I dreamed that I posted something on lj, and then people started arguing in the comments about whether Kurt Hummel is a bottom or a top, and it got really out of hand, and then someone accused me of being narrow-minded and cementing gender stereotypes in my fanfiction ... and then I woke up, all exhausted and ( Read more... )

YAY CASTLE! Isn't it amazing? It's such a fun show:D I really need to catch up on season 2! And thanks for linking those two fics - I need more Ryan/Esposito fic!

Fandom is just silly. I've had more than my fill of wank from previous fandoms, so I just don't bother to venture far outside of my flist because of that. Because my flist = AWESOME :D

You are very welcome :) Actually, have one more:

Oh, poor you. Bad dreams (and damn, that's an online nightmare) are the worst.
But fandom is just fandom. :/ I feel you there. I know that I shouldn't be so sad or disappointed or angry over something that isn't even connected to me in any way, but damn. Can't we all just hug? (c)

Damn, I need to watch Castle. Scratch that, I'm going to watch it. I just need to start. I'm really bad at starting things.

And now I'm going to comment on your fic because I'm bad at commenting fics right away (especially since I like to read things on my phone while going somewhere) and you need more positive things. Okay. I'm going. :D

things that make me happy:
- leaving for UK tomorrow! (and I got my suitcase to close and it's actually light)
- I've got a lot of ideas of what to write and how to finish some things, and that's always good.
- RASPBERRY.

And you're awesome anyway, there's nothing you can do. Although, well, those ficlets would be nice. :D JK.

Oh honey, you are so sweet!

And yay, you are leaving for Cambridge tomorrow! It was Cambridge, wasn't it? You are going to love it (at least I hope so!), it's just so pretty. How long are you going to be there?! I'm actually going to be in London July 10-11 to visit a friend!

Also yay, RASPBERRY!

Travel safely!

I try.
:DD

It was - and is! (Although first I'm gonna be in Edinburgh for a couple of days, then London for, like, a day - although I get to see Wicked there, - and then Cambridge for three weeks. Although I will spend a couple days in London on some weekends!)
Ow, that's almost the same day I'm gonna be there. I think I have an excursion on July 13 or something.

Seriously, I can NEVER get tired of it. The best berry ever. :D The best food ever, too. Except pasta, but, well.

I will, thanks!

Oh, those are the best nights. Sounds like fun ... well, not the part where you had to go to work today with a hangover, but yeah :)

So glad you enjoyed Castle! And it's not bad that you didn't watch them in order. :D There's a minor overall arc for the season, but most of the eps really are standalone.

Ryan and Esposito are totally adorable! I've not read much fic for them, just b/c I'm not reading a lot of fic these days. :( But, someone on ryanandesposito has made a list of all the fics she could find about them. Maybe you'll find some in there you haven't seen. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the ones you linked. :)

merle_p June 24 2010, 07:46:44 UTC

Yes, Castle is awesome! It's such a fun show, and I really needed a show that's not all about the drama ... which is probably a weird thing to say, considering that people die in every episode :) But yeah.

Nathan Fillion is hilarious. I mean, I loved him in Firefly, but Castle is such a different character, and he pulls that off just as well.

lvs2read June 28 2010, 03:17:59 UTC

I know exactly what you mean about it being a fun show. For a show where someone dies every episode, I'm always laughing at one thing or another. :)

I don't know if you've heard/read any interviews, but Nathan says when he auditioned for the part, he basically told them to stop looking (which he'd never done before) because he is this guy. I think it shows. :D

Omg Castle! I'm one of those people who only watched it for Nathan, but I ended up adoring it. Ryan and Esposito have such a good bromance going on.

I thought the Kurt/Mike fest involved Mike O'Malley at first. Doh.

Hehe. :D

Re: Castle: Don't get me wrong, I love Nathan Fillion, but to be honest, I wasn't so sure about his role on Castle at first ... from promos I'd seen, I was afraid he'd come across as too goofy for my taste. But it's not like that at all. Well, maybe a little ... Anyway, I watched one episode and got sucked in.
