It's not the heat, it's the humidity. No, I lie. It's the heat and the humidity. But especially the humidity - I feel like someone signed me up as an extra in Finding Nemo without telling me
( Read more... )
And then sometimes the bad guys come to Finland and we get headlines like, "Escaped prisoner from Sweden may be hiding in women's clothes" at which I first check my closet, and then try to paint a mental picture based on the guy's mug shot...
Apparently our prisons are trying an open door policy this summer. How very... something.
I watch the news about it this morning, and they played Queen's "I want to break free" during the segment. Bet they had fun while editing together that one.
Oh, no. I mean, yes, not a eunuch. He just doesn't spark for me. I'm all shipper happy when he seems to be getting it right on the show. I was as thrilled and then crushed as any fan when it looked like he and Cordy were getting together and then it all when terribly wrong.
But Angel/Doyle? Angel/Wes? I just don't see it. I don't get the spark. I believe it's because, though I enjoy the show, he doesn't interest me as a fanfiction character. Perhaps Angel the series is rich enough for me.
Well, I could sort of see Angel/Doyle... but not enough to go look for it or anything. I think, like, you, I'm happy just to watch the show, which reminds me that I need to finally see the rest of season 5 before something spoils me.
I do enjoy Angel's periodic announcements about his sexuality, though, such as "not a eunuch" and "not little." I mean, good to know, and all.
Hee! Oh, that's definitely one of those things, though with me it was the other way around. I took a desultory interest in DS fanfic, and then there was this other Ray in it suddenly, and wham. And since I did adore Vecchio, it was very confusing!
Yes, this has happened to me fairly often, in practically every fandom. TXF: I thought I was purely an MSR girl, but it turned out I could get into M/Sk, and then M/K, and then Sc-Sk, with fairly little effort.
DS: F/V OTP! Except...not so much. And hey, Thatcher needs to get laid, too.
BtVS: Oh, sure, anybody, they're all hot, except...you know, no, I don't want to read Oz/Xander or Devon/anybody or Spike-Willow or, hey, who knew I could be this picky?
TWW: Everybody with the Josh/Sam arm-waving, and you know what? Not so much, for me. Jed/Leo, OTOH...
Farscape: I'm pretty mix-n-matchy, actually.
And in Firefly, I had almost the exact same experience you had. Definitely the same pairing preferences, but I didn't learn any of this until I started reading.
Read stuff, find out. :) And sometimes you like something in theory but you can never get it to work for you in practice. tWW was like that for me; I could wave my arms around about both Josh/Sam and Jed/Leo, but I couldn't really read it, because there was no space in my head for it to happen even though I wanted it to, and other people's spaces never quite worked for me.

Oh yeah. I like Angel but I'm not interested in reading stories about him and anyone. No romance for Angel.
