1. Dude, don't write a post about how fandom could use some common courtesy (like thinking before you write things, or whatever), and then use the excuse "I'm sorry, I didn't think!" as soon as people take exception to some of what you wrote. For reals, okay. Have some philosophical integrity ( Read more... )

YOU CANNOT GO TO RICHMOND CENTRE WHEN I AM NOT THERE. YOU JUST CAN'T. *criez*

Regarding #1, I don't understand why people are so scared to offend people. Or why people are so easily offended. They're all a bunch of losers. And I have put thought into this before I wrote it.

(They are replaying S1 here! I can finally be a good fangirl and watch ALL the episodes! Not that I will actually bother to keep my fic in canon, because whatever. Dad! Daddy! TWINS!)

OKAY I WILL JUST NOT GO SHOPPING UNTIL YOU COME BACK. What?

I know, right?

(Srsly. Dad and Daddy are way better than canon. Canon Dean cries.)

*cough* I'm actually coming back in 2.5 weeks. For a couple days. You may go shopping then!

(I WATCHED THAT EPISODE WHERE DEAN CRIES.) (I might've cried a little too.)

Born Under a Bad Sign is on tomorrow. DEAN WILL SAY MY NAME AGAIN.

Huzzah!

(WHICH ONE. They happen like monthly. Dean has a Special Time, I guess.)

Don't explode, okay? (Hey, I could totally watch that tomorrow too. I have the DVDs yay!)

Dude. It sounds like you had SO MUCH FUN. *jealous* Man, I would adore a con like that, seeing the locations. If it happens again, totally on my list. Excuse to swing back through the Pacific Northwest, at least (and we all need as many of those as possible). Yes, it would be epic.

> WHATEVER I FAILED THE TRANS AGENDA OKAY. I should probably vacate the subculture now, right?

This kind of, I'm sorry if I'm out of line, but surely you don't feel like you have some sort of obligation to represent? (Okay. "represent" there works better if you imagine faux-gangsta-speak. I'll try not to be so much of a dork) I mean, it's wonderful if you're willing/able to educate people, but feeling obligation to the point of being guilty for not speaking up strikes me as *adjectivehunt* unnecessary/stressful.

Yes, it is. I don't really feel obligated, I was mostly being sarcastic with the allcaps, etc. I was kind of trying to analyse my own reasons for not speaking up (in a non-jargony manner), because not saying anything actually made me feel more uncomfortable than the statements I wanted to respond to in the first place. I've really gotten used to being in spaces where I feel comfortable saying pretty much whatever I'm thinking, so it was a weird experience to be back in a place where I wasn't (oh high school, how I don't miss you at all).

Wow, Something Wicked sounds like it was great! Glad to hear it.

And it's so cool that you're gonna be a bus driver. I got my CDL-B last year, and it was just... empowering. What kind of bus will you be driving?

Oh, just minibuses. 24 passengers and less. My nerves could seriously not handle full capacity buses zomg.

The plus of it being that if another location tour comes up, I'd be able to drive a rented large passenger van/minibus, which would save a ton of money.

I really like driving? lol.

Driving rocks!

You say that now. *g* I was only going to drive the little special-ed school buses, but my company trained me on the full-size ones ("just in case") and that was all she wrote.
