5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 24 2009, 19:00:52 UTC

1. Independence Day. She likes the fireworks, and the team barbeques are fun, but what’s the point of celebrating independence from another landmass on the same planet? Eventually, they’ll face something too big coming at them, and no-one’s going to care who’s independent then ( ... )

A very Vala point of view--a little cynical and self-serving, but also very profound and true.

Re: 5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 26 2009, 20:40:44 UTC

Slightly cynical and self-serving, just how I like Vala :o)

I love #2, which is hilarious. And #5, because it's very logically Vala.

Re: 5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 26 2009, 20:41:23 UTC

Thanks! I think Vala really loves having nice things on Earth so, yeah, why shorten the amount of time you get doted on if you don't have to?!

Hee--I like your take on no. 2 better than mine.

Thanks!

These are great! And the mental picture of a giggling Cam is lovely. :D

Re: 5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 26 2009, 20:42:23 UTC

Thanks. I have such a ridiculous attraction to the idea of people like John and Cam off in a corner somewhere giggling like a loon.

Very wise observations, in a very Vala way. :) Great voice.

Re: 5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 26 2009, 20:42:34 UTC

Thank you!

I like all of these equally - makes Earth seem very... alien!

Re: 5 Earth customs Vala can't understand bluflamingo May 26 2009, 20:43:25 UTC

Thanks! Weirdly, I found it really hard just to think of customs that wouldn't be galaxy wide, I'm not sure why. Strange experience, but it'd make an interesting sociology teaching tool.

#1 is so sad-but-true.

Love Cam's giggle fit!

Vala, Queen of the Infirmary! She would so love all that attention. :-)
