Bumped into a friend at the bookshop today.
Me: Hi! How're you doing? *kisses hello*
Her: Hi! You'll never guess what happened to me last week. I nearly died!
Me: ...
There was a flood and my friend drove her car into a puddle that was a lot deeper than she thought. She got rescued by a policeman who knew her by name because he'd given her 3 speeding tickets on that very same road before. Weird stuff is always happening to her.
I can't get over the fact that she nearly drowned in an effing flood while I was at home going on about how good that rain was going to be for the lawn.
Weird conversation #2:
Brother #1: Mechanics are full of crap.
Brother #2: Indeed.
Mom: Hey, what happened to that series? The one with that guy who kept saying "indeed" and looking at people in a funny way. I miss him!
Brother #2: IT GOT CANCELLED.
Mom: D:
It always amazes me that she can get attached to little details like "indeed" but not remember the name of the series (everything from Star Trek to BSG gets called Star Wars). I wonder what it'd be like to navigate fandom by labelling things that way.
Fic: The ring that takes you to other planets.
Fandom: Star Wars
Characters: That guy with the hair, the guy with the lemon thing, the girl with sticks, that other guy with the hair and the tattoos.
Pairings: Yes.
Summary: They go to another planet and get into trouble because of the cylons. No wait, duplicators.
