Rl: washing dishes, fic: Master Green Eyes, fandom: pet peeve #1
So being perpetually in the habit of not writing in this journal, or my real live pen and paper one [sigh], I have resurrected "Closing Notes", an old trick of writing in bed before going to sleep. Tonight we have:
- Not having a dish washer at work is a blessing and a curse, as it means both over time and more hours in your pay packet and having to actually take your turn and do dishes once a week. However as Boss Man has shown me that the dishwasher [machine] helps immensely with the over size pans, I hope to avoid the debacle that was my last dish night, when we finished at 12:16 AM.
- I really, really love fbowden's Master Green Eyes [up to chapter four of a probable six, complete story being posted daily, and thanks to the time difference probably up to five by the time I get up later]. Chapter four was awesome, as it brings up the story's main conflict, and worrisome, as there are only [maybe] two chapters in which to work out a happy ending. I appreciate that her Snape has a lot of integrity, as he could have kept his secret, even now, and that he, Severus, is realizing that Harry is a person who is worth it; I always thought it was a bit funny that a person who wanted forgiveness so much would continually push away a person who had it in them to forgive just about anything [witness Harry's relationship with Ron].
- It really is a pet peeve of mine that Harry's age is so frequently made an issue of when speaking of his character, but Snape's isn't. I was reading a story in which Snape is said to be "too old to play those insecurity games", after pushing Harry away, and I cheered because, AHA!, someone was calling Snape on his bullshit. I know [abundantly] that being an adult doesn't mean always making the right choices, but I have come to believe that it does mean fully recognizing your choices, and knowing what you can live with, without, thanks to, and in spite of.
