My 2 cents: "Gun control" is a vague term that means nothing. Military weapons created for killing large numbers of people quickly - assault weapons - shouldn't be for sale to the general public. That said, the bigger issue is the illegal gun trade, related directly to the illegal drug trade, which brings so many of these dangerous weapons here. To ( Read more... )

I still don't know why Brian/Justin fans (not all, obviously, m'dears, I <3 my friends list) feel the need to constantly put down Michael or Br/M. I mean... if you believe SO STRONGLY in Brian and Justin's relationship, why would Michael feel so threatening to you? There's no reason to hate Michael at the end of the show as a Br/J fan... he's ( Read more... )

So this is something I wrote in response to a Denver Post article, but I liked the way I worded it, so I'm just gonna repost it here. XP

In every fandom, you'll see the word 'canon' thrown around. For instance, an LJ group may say that only CANON pairings can be posted about. The problem is when canon stops being canon, and starts being fanon, and people can't tell the difference. This happens a LOT. So for those of you who aren't humongous loser nerds who spend far too much time on ( Read more... )

Since this comes up a lot in bad fanfic and most recently on someone's LJ I just thought I'd point something out. I'm not pissed, I'm actually sort of amused. And completely exasperated. XD;; I know, I know, I've made Michael rants before. But damnit... no one listens! So here I go again. (Also, I'm at work and a slacker and this is more fun than ( Read more... )

Lots of things to post about! Topics are bolded so people can read what they care about, if they actually do. XD;;

Tomorrow I start college. Oh god so scared. Not of the classes or the work, but of just finding my way around campus, and the bus schedule, and figuring out a new routine. Just like when I start a new job, my stomach is all sick and ( Read more... )
