"Ladybird" sounds much prettier and poetic. I like it. I like ladybugs well enough. Except here we have two kinds, the cute and harmless kind and then the Japanese bean beetles which everyone calls ladybugs. And the Japanese bean beetles are EVIL. and SMELLY. And basically, my house has an infestation which is tons and tons of fun.

Aw, Stephane!

It really does! And I didn't know about the evil ones, they sound awful! I found out because Stephane kept saying ladybug and I thought maybe he didn't know the real word and so I googled it. Learning new things is important. *nod*

If you are still sort of interested in getting into the fandom, read that fic I linked to, it is a WIP but every update makes me happy.

Gawd, Southland kills my soul a little with each episode. Even sadder that it probably won't be renewed (hope I'm wrong though!)

Eeee, Buttle and Lambiel are my two favorite skaters <333 Where has that vid been all my life! \o/

Ohh, you've caught up now? Yay! It does, the few light moments almost serve to highlight the horrible things that happen. I missed Lydia. I think you are probably right, sadly. The fact that there are basically no online streams suggests a lack of demand, so not a good sign. Such a shame, it really is brilliant. :(

They are? I actually know very little about Jeffrey Buttle, but that video is so awesome and so fun! And of course I love Stefane.

Yeah, I miss Lydia too. Though I am confused as to why she gets paired up with a new partner every week (I liked Cordero!)

I loved Jeff ever since I saw his long program in '06. Not his cleanest skate, but his choreography is gorgeous <3

Apparently the actor that played Cordero was only contracted for those two eps, it was weird that there was no in show explanation for his disappearance though, I also liked him!

Ohh, that was really lovely and he has amazing hair! :)

1) I haaaaaaaaaaate April Fools, cause I always fall for a prank or two (I may or may not have believed the ontd_startrek one for a few seconds...)

2)
-Evan is always in love with Johnny (always.)
YES. AS IT SHOULD BE.

American call ladybirds, ladybugs
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?? For some reason, I thought ladybirds were, um, birds.

and apparently he has magical gay powers
I'm prone to believe that, actually.

3) That video is adorable! (Even though I wouldn't want to stand too close to a skate-kick.)

I hadn't even checked ontd_st until now, because the Empire thing is really annoying, I take it you mean Chris walking Noah? :D I probably would have as well, because I want it to be true!

Hahaha, I had the same reaction about ladybug! It is an ugly word, I don't like it. Ladybird is clearly superior.

(Even though I wouldn't want to stand too close to a skate-kick.)
Noo. Definitely not, what worries me more however is how ice dancers climb on top of their partner's shoulders for example, how is the blade not killing them? It looks so dangerous!

Ugh, I don't like the Empire thing either. I think ontd_startrek and me are on a break. But yes, I was talking about the Chris-Noah post. DAMMIT. :D

Hahaha, I had the same reaction about ladybug!
But ladybug is so clear. It's a bug! Why would you confuse people with this 'bird' suffix?

how is the blade not killing them? It looks so dangerous!
Someone more knowledgeable from my flist said it's because the blade doesn't cut when it presses down, only to the side.

Hee, we've been drifting apart for a while now, I must admit, I've found someone new! Someone shinier!

Well, 'lady' is already not bug-like!

Huh? This confuses me. So the sharpest point is to the side? WEIRD. And still scary, I mean you are this close to death!

I know I keep reccing this fic, but it got updated a little earlier and it filled me with unmeasurable quantity of glee, so I want to share it with you all. HDFKSJDFH I'm not even IN this fandom, had to WIKI WHO THEY WERE, and even I am checking up on this fic religiously and get ridiculously happy whit gets updated. It appears that AWESOME WRITING TRANSCENDS FANDOMS AFTER ALL. Whoa, there's something I never thought I'd get to say O_O

OMG, that is so awesome! :D Wasn't the latest update amaaaazing? And if you like the fic, you should check out the fandom, because what you see of their personalities is pretty close to what we see in reality, especially Stephane's magic! (exhibit A)

Aw, I know! Sorry. :/

Southland is the only legitimately good tv show I watch, it is about cops in LA and it's seriously wonderful, here is why.
