Beaches and Ailments (Also Fangirling)
Good news: Beach! Yay! It's gorgeous down here, if a bit too cold to swim.
Bad news: I, yet again, have suffered The Return Of The Mysterious Coughing/Headache/Sore Throat. This is the third time now that it has come back. I am not amused.
Pre-illness, the drive down on Thursday was nice. We listened to country music most of the way, and I was forced to admit that over the top patriotic songs about how "This Is America" and such are now a guilty pleasure of mine. Not as much as "I Wanna Check You For Ticks," however. That song (whatever it's actually called) is a class all by itself. It revolves around a country boy using that sentiment as a pick up line in a bar. Deeply romantic.
My aunt (the Zutara shipper) and I should be able to resume watching Avatar soon. I'm looking forward to showing her the second season. It remains one of the best things I've ever watched on TV, and has a lovely Shirtless Zuko Quotient.
Which brings me to another rambling point- why do I fangirl? And, more specifically, why do I seem to fangirl only animated/drawn characters? I mean, it started with me insisting that I just liked Zuko for his character, but Season Three and the Beach Episode of Doom put a bit of an end to that. Now one of my major online hobbies is watching other people fangirl Nightwing. I am growing concerned.
Anyway, world, Happy Almost-Easter!
