lunabee34 | I am so bored! Talk with me people!

I also am bored.

Key questions:
1. Egg salad sandwich or pizza?

2. Fancy-ass microbrewery beer or a bottle of excellent white wine?

3. Running shoes or some kind of pretty, strappy thing?

4. False dichotomies or DICHOTOMIES ARE NEVER FALSE OMG.

5. This guy:

or this one:

(*cough*obsession*cough*)

6. Sex pollen as a plot device, or genderswitch as plot device?

7. Ice cream: basic vanilla, or some fancy-ass flavour?

1. Pizza. Super thin crust and although I love meats of all kinds (ahhahahahha) my fave is just cheese, fresh basil and roma tomatoes.

2. Beer! Beer! Beer! And then I will also drink the wine. LOL

3. Pretty strappy things, cause, woman, God gave me hips and I intend to fucking sashay them. At all times.

4. Lies. All lies, these binaries of which you speak.

5. Second dude. Totally. Ah, the way his hair spikes up and the look of angst on his face. (Who are these people *g*)

6. Sex pollen all the way. I mean, genderswap is sometimes fun, but right now the SPN fandom is obsessed with it and it's really not my bag. I don't want Sammy to be a girl. I want him to be boning his brother up the ass with his, oh I dunno, BONER!

7. Mint chocolate chip.

1. The pizza sounds great! I had an awesome thin-crust one the other day - chorizo and peppers and tomatoes and onions.

2. I like the beer too. But also wine. But given the choice I would go for the fancy beer.

3. I hate strappy things. Especially if they have heels. And I don't really sashay *g*

4. OMG!

5. They are the same dude! I was totally giving you a no-choice choice *g* But the pictures really look different, eh? It's Kavan Smith, who plays Major Lorne on SGA, who you may have noticed I have a slight obsession with. Here, have another picture (this link just makes me think 'oooh, porn' mostly because I'm convinced that out of the shot of the picture, his thumb is hooked in the undone waistband of his jeans. WHAT? I CAN DREAM; the picture you liked best makes me think accidental!slavery fic): http://www.kavansmithfans.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=28&pos=8

6. Sex pollen is fun!

7. I like ice cream with nuts in it.

Oooh, you are a sassy minx with your tricksy, tricksy ways.

He is indeed a very pretty thing to look at.

How does one become an accidental!slave? LOL

How does one become an accidental!slave?
Well, in my family, "What did Abraham Lincoln say after a three-day bender?" "I freed the WHAAAAT?" is a watchword for, e.g., unpacking shopping bags. So I suppose there could be the equivalent on, as it were, the supply side.

Bwahahhahahahahaahahahahhaahhaha

*ahem*

oooooooh, you've been iconing again. *loves*

Phear my mad PhotoshopFu!

Oooh, you are a sassy minx with your tricksy, tricksy ways.

I'm positive I have no idea what you're talking about.

He is indeed a very pretty thing to look at.

OMG I KNOW!!!111!1!

How does one become an accidental!slave? LOL

Oh, yea of no Stargate fandom experience *g* There are so many ways! Wacky alien technology is one (mind control stuff! etc); wacky alien cultures is another (cultures with hierarchical societies! etc)

Oh, okay. You are here on our planet and have partaken of our chips and salsa which makes you OUR LOVE SLAVE, BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. I tried that one time at a dinner party. Didn't go over so well.

I tried that one time at a dinner party.

Yes, but (I'm assuming) everyone at that dinner party was from your own (ie Earth) planet. So it wouldn't work! You'd need to try the wacky alien technology.

...accidental slavery fic can be HOT. You wanna read some? I can link you (including to one that I wrote, iff'n yer interested).

Okay.

Link me up. :) I can't promise I'll know who these people are, but bring on the hot.

!! Yay! These are all SGA, and the first three are McKay/Sheppard (the most prolific slash pairing in the fandom)

Advantage, by resonant:

Dude.

Word.

That is all.

Isn't Advantage on of the hottest things you've ever read? *happy sigh*

Absolutely. Gods, if they really talk this way on the show, all snarky and shit, I might have to revise my no new TV rule.

It is full of snark! And also alien technology! And space!Vampires! And Major Lorne (although not until second season).

Wouldn't happen to me--they teach you first semester in law school to turn over the chip bowl and read the TOS before you eat any chips.

*g*

Are you going to write any Drake's Venture fic? (Hint: see <lj user="dv_squee" for the FAQ and archive). Shag, marry, or shoot: Principal Snyder, Coriolanus, Travis II

OMG, woman. What choices you have given me. *shudders*

Okay.

Marry Snyder, because essentially he's a cringer and I could totally sit on him if he gave me trouble. Also, I could make him re-enact key scenes from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Shoot Coriolanus for being against democracy

and

Shag Travis II with my eyes closed while laying back and thinking of England.

As far as teh fic goes, probably not. Research is not my thing. Although, I'm about to be doing a buttload (ahaha) of it for my SPN fic, in the interest of full disclosure.

I wish you are into HEROES as much as SPN......
I wish you are into Entourage as much as SPN......
Then again we are all still waiting on THE HUG in SPN between you know who and we still haven't got it yet so I understand in this cold/harsh world we don't always get what we want.....

That one sided hug of relief in the finale didn't do it for you? *grin* Me either. I loved, but I wanted more. I always want more.

A lot of my friends love both those shows, but I just have no time for new TV.

(deleted comment)

Mississippi is quite beautiful--green, no hills to speak of really, and hot as the dickens. And humid. No real seasons the further south you go. I can remember wearing shorts on Christmas Day many a year. A lot of the southern part of the state (up through Hattiesburg) is still all torn up from Katrina.

I have an MA in Victorian literature and have completed coursework for a Ph.D in the same that I will probably never finish.

Hmmm.. probably chitterlings. I'll try anything once, so I've had them boiled and fried and also barbecued and they were revolting each way. Yick.

wrt chitterlings:
VOLTAIRE: Once a philosopher, twice a pervert!

Icon love to the max. :)

Yeah, yeah, I know. I should've given up after fried was so awful. I mean, anything that remains revolting through the frying process is clearly not intended for human consumption.

I've probably asked before but BJ or Trapper?

BJ all the way.

*nods decisively*

I feel like his character got so much more emotional depth than Trapper's ever did. Trapper was fun and funny, but he didn't come across as a particularly complex character to me.

What about you?

The first episodes I saw had BJ in them so I think he'll always be my favourite but I so love Trapper.

I understand what you're saying about BJ seemingly having more depth. I think Trapper was complex but because he left after 3 seasons this wasn't explored. BJ had 8 seasons to develop as a character.

Favourite character is Francis Mulcahy or Radar. I think Radar is just adorable!

Honestly, I really like all the characters and it's rare for an ensemble show that I genuinely like (even if it's liking to dislike) all the characters.

I think my favorite character is probably Hawkeye, but I also really like Colonel Potter.

Okay, what was one of your most formative moments? You know, one of those threshold of revelation moments when you can almost feel the shape of your bones changing under your skin, the lenses of your eyes recalibrating in your skull.

Okay.

I was raised fundamentalist Baptist. My parents believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible (there's no poetic license or myth in there, ya heathens). This kind of faith is very much based on the rewards and punishment system; be good and God won't smite you. Fuck up, and we'll all stand over here just in case the lightning arcs. My dad even told me one time that I better be a good Christian because if I wasn't, God might kill so that I wouldn't be going around giving Christianity a bad name.

Well, I have always had religious doubts. One of my earliest memories of any import is a convo I had with the pastor of my church at six. I had gotten a stuffed animal for Christmas named Caty (she is a caterpillar purse and I loved her until her strap broke and her eyes fell off and I still have her and sometimes I take her out and smell her because she smells weird like when I was a kid). During the invitational, I came forward and told the preacher that I was afraid I was going to hell because I loved my stuffed animal more than God. It was couched in childish language, but right there at six, I was having the old how do you love an intangible argument.

I still have enormous issues with faith. I was an atheist for most of my teenage years and since have become agnostic. I feel bereft because I have no spiritual component to my life, but I don't know how to fix it.

I could go on and on and on and on about the racist and sexist incidents I experienced at my family's church, but the last I'll mention is that one night in church we watched a movie about what might happen after the Rapture, and in the movie, people are decapitated. I mean, god. I was a kid, early teen, whatever. *shudders* I think that's a form of child abuse.

Not of course that you would have any reason to know this, but I think that having faith is like getting high. It just takes a while to realize that the sensations you are experiencing are the thing you were looking for.

My favorite thing about the Narnia series is what is awaiting not only those who served Aslan and who thought they were serving Tash, but vice versa. But I'm sure that a lot of big-time religiosos of all sorts are a huge embarrassment to God.

But I'm sure that a lot of big-time religiosos of all sorts are a huge embarrassment to God.

*nods*

You know, I thought about that a lot after Jerry Falwell died, wondering if he found what he thought would on the other side. I certainly hope not.

Gah. *hugs* That sounds like a fearful way to grow up. I was not born to a family that believed in Hell or smiting, but I can imagine that it makes for a fraught existence. One of my earliest memories of faith is my Grandmother saying to me, "Don't kneel when you're asking God for something. God likes to see us proud and unafraid, not on our knees." It was a very different experience from yours.

I think that faith must be something that both makes sense to you and feels good and right. It can take a lot of searching and thinking to find or formulate something that does all that for you. I believe that faith should be a comfort and a celebration rather than the sum of our fears, a specter we use to frighten children. I hope someday you find the path that works for you and brings you joy.

It really was a rather crappy way to grow up. Even though I don't rationally believe much of what I was taught anymore, it's hard to un-internalize those fears of hell and stuff, you know?

I just don't know how to believe in anything anymore. I've always been an empiricist (what does it matter if this world is real; it appears real and I've got to deal with that reality even if it's fake or not) and I find it so so hard to believe in things I can't see or prove. I think it's also because all my training for the last years in literature has taught me to deconstruct, to look for the holes in ideas and arguments.

I am so bored! Talk with me people!
