Somehow despite the fact that I don't know anyone in RL who's sick, I am sick. Yet it seems like half of you have the plague also. FREAKY. Good thing I made all that soup yesterday.

I am almost done watching S1 of Smallville and I realized that something weird and flip-floppy seems to have happened to my taste in men, at least fictionally. Proof

I had it in early January ... actually for about three weeks, which helps explain why I hated last month so far.

I was thinking about your fic tastes in guys, after you posted the Rory/Dean story. I'd have taken you more for a Jess person. Still, I think in both RL and fiction, the average woman (it's always dangerous to say "average") still goes for the bad boy.

When Jess first came on the show I found him kind of interesting, because he's cute and all rebel book-book reading dude, plus I tend to find scandal/love triangles interesting. But he was just consistently such an ass, I just couldn't stand it.

I'm afraid it's happening to me too. Not the sick that already happened (hopefully that was it). The tastes in men thing. Except it's inverting. I used to be about the big and old and brooding and heroic. Now for some reason I have a place in my heart for the smaller, younger, pretty (femmey), snarky and kinda evilly selfish. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before and I find it extremely frightening.

I don't know if it's reflected in my tastes in rl men but I'm wondering if it's reflected in my strange recent lack of ambition. Or something.

Huh.

I seem to like earnest and heroic and *noble* apparently. Also tall and dark-haired apparently.

I would like all this to take some vague effect in my RL, which is not to say that the people I've been with were jerks or anything--two of the longest term ones are extremely high on my list of favorite humans ever. But.

All I'm saying with this tangent is that emotional maturity and general stability would be *good*.

Also: ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH DRACO MALFOY OR SOMETHING?

My taste in fictional men is still the same as it's always been all the way back to high school and my obsession with Billy the Kid and Wild Bill Hickock, bad boys. But, I've got a good boy in RL so I choose to believe that just makes me a very well rounded person. ;)

[femmenerd]

It's possible that mine has just expanded, or something. :P

Hope you're feeling better--I had mary sue fantasies of Sam and Dean taking care of me while I was writing my final papers for last semester. Where they had to make me happy, or terrible things would happen (which would of course not be my fault).

Can't agree on this week's SPN, though. I mean, Dean has watched demons flinch at the name of Christ, evil trucks be destroyed by crossing sacred ground, the many uses of holy water and consecrated rounds, and he's saying he doesn't have any proof of God?

Also, wasn't thrilled about him finding proof of "the will of God" in someone getting killed. Er...wasn't whole point that that's not how God works?

It's one of the things that vaguely annoys me about the show overall. If I were Dean or Sam and dealing with all this stuff, I'd be praying constantly. Even the victims of the week never throw out terrified prayers before being demon bait. You'd think it might just occur to them to give it a shot.

*grumbles off to cranky Catholic corner*

I am feeling better. I avoided getting super-sick by sleeping a lot...I hope.

I think that both Dean and Sam at this point are unreliable narrators of their own experience. Kinda sorta, and that somewhere in between the two of their positions there might be some truth.

I definitely do agree though about the proof of the will of God being somebody getting smited, smote or whatever.
