OMG, me too! And both my parents are B/Aers. I tried to get them to be A/Sers as well, but my mom get going, "no, they're not gay," and my dad kept going, "well, maybe they slept together once and sure, I totally think they're into banging boys, but that doesn't mean they did it like bunny rabbits back in the day or that they'd do it again." Ha!
I can empathize with Brennan up to a point, because I am not the pop culture gal. But I dislike the way they hammer home her disassociation with society/people/culture every. single. ep. It's overkill, imo.
I will not eat them Sam I Am! And I love your icon!

I agree with that, but I it's not something I consider to be a problem with the character, rather I see it as the writers handling that character poorly by attempting to turn "I don't know what that means" into a catchphrase (something they appear to have mostly given up on in recent eps, thank God). I like Brennan. Mostly because I just like her, partly because of the whole disconnected-from-society solidarity thing, but also because I've always loved the whole Anthropology/Archeology/All-Things-Morbid-and-Creepifying, so have the whole envy-turned-admiration going on (I want to be her, dammit! Well, actually I want to be Goodman, but let's not get picky).
Yeah, it's possible to dislike what the writers do with a character while still giving the character itself the benefit of the doubt, I guess. I se what you mean.
P. Okay, so your family rocks. Well, except for the watching Bones part. But everything else... When I watch stuff with my dad, he tries to convince me that there's no gaysex subtext in Rebel W/O a Cause. Like, what? He's all, "Plato sees Jim as a father figure." Ever heard of George Michael, dad?
N. (I post all my rejections on my lj. It makes it funny.)
J. I wish I had a pornify button. The T rocks. These people must be really uncomfortable.
B. That was funny. I've claimed "A Good Going Over with a Weed Whacker."
Oops, I missed the U and A. Which means... TKP, we doing this porntastic punjabby fic or what?
P. Ha, it's my mom who is so against slashy subtext. She thinks I'm weird for liking pretty boys kissing. Especially since I didn't even know I liked it until like oh, 6 or 8 months ago. But my dad is all, right on! Possibly because I know he secretly likes pretty girls kissing
( ... )
N. My writing life isn't, but what I'm physically doing with myself is. I guess what I mean is I really wanted to go to grad school so I wouldn't have to get a job. I AM PITIFUL AND A BUM. I FREELY ADMIT THIS.
J. I've never really watched porn. Really! But I have seen a little bit, really soft core, and it did nothing for me.
Never seen that. I'm not sure how to do it. We should set a date on aim so we can just hash out what exactly we want to do and how we want to do it. Some time next week would be good as this weekend I'm kinda busy.
*Goodman!voice smut* ZACH: "Apparently, all she needed was to hear her job description in a deep, African-American tone." ::nodnodnod:
Hee! The "W" has a foursome. And the "G" has just girls. I love my LJ name even more now.
Note: I also love spellcheckers. The possible replacements for "nodnodnod" are, as follows: Nintendo, redundant, nightstand, and attendant. Hee! I am easily amused today.
Yep. Right at the very end of the one where we found out that Hodgins (don't think I spelled that right) is filthy rich. Angela was getting creeped out by her job and Goodman gave her a pep talk, at which point she broke down in tears and hugged him.
I don't know, I was kind of fond of "nightstand", but redundant is oddly appropriate, innit?
Uh, so it was in a different ep? I missed a good chunk of the eps because I kept forgetting to watch. I'd love to see Angela break down in tears. She's just so cute; I want to hug her.
I love your family! I've been trying to get my family to watch Buffy for ever, but my sister is the only other addict, and she doesn't live at home anymore, so I can't squee at her all the time. And thanks for linking me!

I've always been more of a Lorax fan, myself.

J. Except I don't like watching porn. It's boring. I like the idea, and I like reading it (well duh) but the moving pictures do nothing for me.
Yeah.. um... Should we back-n-forth (omg I can't believe I said that, did you see Me and You and Everyone We Know?) it through email or aim or what?
