So I reinstalled The Sims, sans Living Large, and made a little JuNi household to play with while I figure out how to magically resurrect my LL disk. And. Dude! after one (1!) Sims day of playing, they're already at 62, and they slept in the same bed from night one, and eeee! :D They're MFEO!

World politics, and racism in fandom.

So, yeah, the Israel-Palestina conflict is still in full force, and now there's riots in Northern Ireland again. Sigh.

Dear people sitting next to me on the train,

I understand you feel the need to sprout of your opinions on world politics. I understand that most people don't have the inclination, time, or willingness to make the effort, to read up on the often incredibly long historical background of these conflict. I am a history freak, and a research nut, and have been brought up to research and back up my arguments, especially in politics.

However. If you're not going to even bother to read the fucking newspaper and form an opinion that is not a blanket statement about either of the sides in these conflicts, if you're going to sit there and say that the IRA should turn in all their weapons without any guarantee of NI rejoining the Irish Republic (which, btw, is why they took up arms again in the late sixties in the first place -- the British governement had promised to work towards re-unifying them and then did zip for fourty years!), that the Palestinians should just should disarm, shut up, and move out of Israel (disregarding the fact that it was originally their fucking country, and that Sharon has been deliberately and knowingly violating just about every treaty his predecessors worked on), if you then ask me what I think about it, then I'm going to tell you. And I'm going to use lots of four-syllable words; I'm going to be careful and precise and rational in what I'm saying, and I'm going to look at both sides of the story.

And if you don't like that, you can go stuff yourself, instead of giving me that "stupid chit, what do you know about it?" look.

Sincerely,

Furious.

Also! Interesting discussion to be had here. Go. Read. Now! I'll wait.

Okay, if you're back, I'd like to just add my plea for non-white slash characters to witchqueen's. I know, I know, I'm telling you to do as I say, not as I do, here. But due to the nature of my fandoms, it's hard to even find an non-white person to slash, much as I'd want to. Because I love interracial slash. It's a kink, for the visual of contrasting skin.

(Aside: I often worry if my non-white characters come off as "token blacks/asians" in my non-fanfic stories. I don't mean for them to be. I don't sit down and think "Hm, I need a non-white character," just like I don't sit down and think "Hm, I need another female," because my characters just come to me as they are. And often, they're not white. I didn't figure out until halfway through Here and Now that Jesse's Asian, so it doesn't feel "token non-white"ish to me, but. Blah.)

Anyhat. For those of you looking for suggestions:

The Crying Game -- Jody/Fergus.

Star Wars -- Lando Calrissian/Han Solo. (Please, people, for the love of god, they vibed so hard I vibed off the sofa!) QG/Mace.

Red Dwarf -- Lister/Rimmer. (ONSCREEN KISS! How easy must it get?)

Space: Above and Beyond -- Paul Wang/Elroy EL. Because, woa. Also, Vanessa Damphousse/Shane Vansen. Sigh. My f/f slash OTP!

RPS: Justin/Nelly. Eminem/Dr Dre. (Dude, that's almost canon!). Dre/Snoop Dogg! (Would pay for this.) And someone ought to slash Coolio. (This could also fall under the S:AaB heading, since he played a guest role in that.)

Or, you know. Suggest a bunny, and I might write it. Lord knows one more won't make a difference.

Interview.

2. Who's got the worst dress sense?
JC: What do you mean "worst"? we always look really cool!

Ahahahaha! Oh, JC, honey, I do love you. not as much as the rest, but I do.

5. Who's the naughtiest?
Justin: Chris. He's always taking robes from hotels and one day he's going to get busted.

So. Fucking. CUTE! I don't know why, it just is. "One day, he's going to get busted." Eeee! soinlove!

8. You're all girls for the day - what do you do?
Justin: I'd go to the bathroom and see why they always go in pairs.
Joey: I'd go to a girls night in and find out why they spend ages talking to a friend then speak to them again on the phone for ages!
JC: I'd go and work in an underwear shop, helping other girls try on lots of saucy underwear!
Chris: I'd visit a girls locker room
Lance: I'd find out why it takes so long for them to get ready

Bwahahahaha! Oh, god. Joey, Justin and Lance want to understand women, JC wants to dress them (!), and Chris has voyeuristic fantasies. =)

The funniest thing Joey does is:
Chris: Dance

Eeeee! Happy Dance, anyone? =D

If Lance were an animal, he'd be:
Joey: sacked from the group!!

Ahahaha! Joey, I love you. Have my children!

Randomly

Have been thinking.

You know, the one good thing about this kind of weather is that I can spend my lunch break sitting under a tree plotting out stories in which Sparkly Dancing Boys are in college, can do mats (or in Justin's case, can't do maths), and have what I have called "du sex" in my plot notes. You think my stories are on crack? You should see my plot notes.

On a slightly different note, I won't be online until late Saturday evening my time. Going to big family thing. Blar.

Well, at least I'll have time to actually write the College AU story.

Oh, and lest there be any confusion, the College AU (and I really ought to find a better name for it, but CAU seems to be sticking pretty firmly already) is not one story, or even an actual series of stories. It will be a bunch of stories all set in the same universe, probably in chronological order, but all self-contained. IE, this is not a WiP, this is not an unfinished series, and the story I'm writing will not be the only one.

Hm. Should at the very least title this damn story. And fight urge to title any story in this universe The Graduate, n matter how amusing I find it.

Woohoo! New friend! :) Say hi to nafio, who has the coolest icons. Whee! Brian!

Worst temper: Chris. I can imagine him pitching little pixie fits and throwing shit.
(stoptocheer; LJ)

*laughs head off* Ahahahahah! So true! SO TRUE!

Also, mentions of the word "pixie" make my mind go to the Chris/Lars place. Oy!
