So. I had a good time. Boggled at how tall some of these 'little boys' had become. Swam a lot. [My poor acking shoulders!] Spent all evening lying on a bunch of matresses, snoozling in my sleeping bag, watching tv. Informed B. that "There is more to sex between two men than anal intercourse, you know." Would have gone into details, but there were small-ish children present.

Am now back, and seriously planning to get out of *NSync fandom altogether. I don't need another fandom in which disagreement is frowned upon mightily. So not ready for that yet. Just gonna say this:

Yo! People! Helen! I am 'on Ruth's side' in this discussion, okay? She said exactly what I was trying to say, namely that you're writing RPS, and denying it makes you seem cowardish and more than slightly juvenile. Also, nobody ever said Metalica or Ben Affleck slash is 'better' than boysband slash. We're just saying, it's all RPS. It's all the same level of 'wrongness'.

Accept it.

I am such a klutz! Was practising my handstands, as I'm wont to do during chat, and managed to kick a framed picture off the wall. The shattered glass was all over my right hand, and for a second I thought I'd have to go to the hospital to get my hand stitched up and how the fuck was I gonna explain how this happened?

As is is, though, I only hand a small cut on the back of my hand and one on the side of my index finger. Coul've been much, much worse.

I am a klutz, but a klutz with a good guardian angel.

Since a lot of people don't seem to be getting this:

1. I like reading *NSync slash. I have a weird thing for Chris, I want Hoey to be my big brother, I want to mess with Justin's mind. Let it be clear that I don't, in any way, 'look down' on *NSlash, not think that any of my other fandoms are, in any way, 'better' than *NSlash.
2. I like Helen's stories, both her FPS and her RPS. I got into *NSlash because of the stories at Puppies.
3. I, like many other RPSers, have been flamed flamed, banned from webrings and hosting domains, and a gazillion other things, simply because I write RPS. I know that a lot of *NSlashers don't get this sort of flack. Good for them. Not everyone is that lucky. That is my problem, that people who should be at least somewhat 'on our side' are distancing themselves from us. If someone who was screwing someone of the same sex through the matress claimed to be straight, because "Gay sex gives me the willies, and this doesn't give me the willies, therefore this isn't gay sex," how would you feel?
4. Maybe Helen didn't mean to distance herself from RPS with her statement in her disclaimer. Is it so strange we're interpreting it that way, though? Is it so strange we're hurt by it? Is it so strange we're trying to see you all to see things our way for a change?
5. If you don't want to get involved in this who RPS 'issue', hey, fine by me. Sometimes I wish I never had. But admitting, or even just not denying, what you're writing is not 'getting involved', it's facing up to yourself.
6. I've said this before about a zillion times, but it bear repeating: Disagreement does not mean bashing! Meaning a) Just cause I/we disagree with you, that doesn't mean we think you're a bad person; and b) If you disagree with us, there are better ways to make this clear than get sarcastic and put words into our, or rather, Ruth's mouth that she didn't say. And yes, Helen, I'm looking at you here. Ruth never said anything remotely close to "Metallica slash is better than *NSync slash."

[Maybe point 1. should be in the past tense ...]

I give up!

Obviously, I am incapable of communicating any sort of point I may have had any intention of making. Damn it all to hell, anyway. I have other things to fret about.

Just this: a flame is by definition an attack ad hominem/feminem. I don't recall launching any personal attacks myself.

[Note: if you think this is in any way about you, it prolly isn't. The people that brought this on are mostly not reading this, and the few that do will not think this is about them. Just to make things clear.]

I'm getting sick of fandom. All of it. Bcause it's just so fucking full of people who think that the right way to demonstrate how 'passionate' you are about your chosen fandom is to become all mouth-frothingly incoherent about it.

Am I frothing-at-the-mouth? I like to think I keep at least some semblance of coherence and logic. If I don't, it only further proves my point: fandom sucks.

And it's not always the fans. "It is absolutely essential that you respect my wishes." ?!?! Fucking Anne fucking Rice, man. Good thing I was never into that fandom!

Speaking of fandom, I feel like I should be more upset that Joey Ramone is dead. Because while I did feel bad about it, it didn't really hit me as hard as I feel it should've. Because I'm a punk. I should feel bad about one of my idols passing away. But I don't feel all that bad. Because, I guess, I'm not a fan-type person. And I'm much more of a London-style-punk, anyway.

Still, though, Mr Ramone, we'll fucking miss you, man!

Sigh.

I managed to smash my hand into the door handle. Hard. It doesn't really hurt all that much, but there's going to be a nice, big bruise on my hand tomorrow. It'll go nicely with the one already on my arm. And with the cuts from the Evil Frame Of Doom. This may be why I don't want any tatts on the right side of my body. My right side is my bad side. It's always the side where my bruises and cuts heal the slowest, it's the side of my bad knee and my RSI-ed wrist.

Back to my original point, I think I'm getting really close to stealing James' title of 'World's Worst Klutz'. Blah.

While I'm bitching about fandom, what's with all these people bitching about ff.net? I mean, if you let me get started, I can go on and on and on about the absolute shite some of these people are chunking out and calling fanfic. But to go and bitch about what a bad job the 'management' people are doing? Man.

Reality check here, folks. Ff.net is a free service. As free services come, it's pretty damn good one. Especially when I think back to the way it was in the very, very early beginning, when I joined up the first time. So you don't like them getting rid of the hits. So you don't like the way the categories are run? So you don't like whateverthefuckitis you don't like? Get the fuck over it. Start your own fanfic archive. Whatever. Don't bitch about the hand that feeds you. Because these people are spending their own money on this, and devoting time to this that they could spend on much better things, and could potentially get in serious legal trouble for this, and they don't seem to be getting much acknowledgement for it. So:

Xing, Meimi, Cairnsy, and everyone else I might be forgetting, you people rock. I am in complete, utter awe of you and I love the way ff.net is being run. Don't let the bitchers grind you down.
