I do (did) rather ship Charles and Erik when I saw the movie (which wasn't a good movie despite that fandom's insistence that it was, and can I say also how tired I am of fandom insisting that because it likes something, that something is good? really really tired of that too) but only in that vague way that I also ship happy endings, and unicorns, and the like. Because Charles was kind of a paternalistic bastard when it came right down to it, and Erik was too broken to be saved by love, which is Real, and Charles didn't understand, because how could he, how could he.

Anyway. It's a good story. I may recommend a few more at some point because there are a lot of people recommending completely shit stories in that fandom and I will never get over wanting to save fandom from itself, I don't think. But. Yes.

Here is a sad little tale of a Chinese immigrant and his life. Hopefully that didn't sound patronizing I feel like maybe it did...anyway, it just made me sad and I wanted to share it. You know what seperates me from being like him? Nothing at all, just luck, chance...I don't get why everyone doesn't understand that. Probably because it makes it really hard to do anything without 15th guessing yourself, lol.

God, I do so *~love and adore~* Patrick Stewart (before the Big Bang Theory even okay).

I hesitate to call ANYTHING required reading, especially when it comes to fandom, which is mostly really intelligent, great, warmhearted, and fun people talking out their asses, but this is a great little meta/read. The "sequel" is more of a meta than the link I'm posting, and I don't know that either of them are metas so much as...look at how horribly people behave sometimes in what is supposed to be a "safe space" or something. WHO KNOWS. But I loved (or rather, identified with) this sentence most of all: Stop bullying people for caring about stories as much as you do. I wish she'd been around the Supernatural fandom during any season in S4...as a fan of Sam Winchester :|

Anyway I'll post an ACTUAL update next week. This week I'm doing stuff (aka going to work like I always do and being lazy like I always do) and then this weekend I'm going home for my mom's bday (4 hour trip north, first time I've been "home" since last April, when I had h1n1 alias swineflu).

Stay classy :3

Okay so obviously I'm not watching Supernatural anymore because what's the point of watching a show when you don't like one of the main characters? (CASTIEL DOESN'T COUNT AS A MAIN CHARACTER AND NEVER WILL.) BUT I MUST KNOW do Sam and Dean hug at all in S6?

Also I have a new job that starts Nov 1st; same company and my third job with them in less than a year, BUT, I will no longer be a temp, rather an interim employee, which is like an employee but when they fire me I don't get severance (hope I spelled that right) pay. I figure it buys me time to try and decide what the actual fuck I am doing with my life.

I watched the finale.

My mom had a cancer scare and I just found out tonight that, while she will be having knee surgery, she does not have cancer in any way, shape, or form.

Somehow I am more upset tonight than I have been the whole time that I was worrying about it, which is saying something b/c I was extremely upset. My mom is one of my two BFFs; if she died**, it would destroy me. So.

TIME TO REC SOME HOMOSEXUAL INCESTUOUS PORN AMIRITE :D

yes i know she will die someday, now shut up

Goddamn but the entire cast of The Mentalist is so PRETTY, and not in boring conventional-Hollywood type ways (not that there's anything wrong with that except for the whole B-O-R-I-N-G part). I feel the same way about the cast of Numb3rs but I think the cast of The Mentalist is actually a smidgen prettier. Especially the redhead whose name I cannot remember, she is fucking GORGEOUS. Must find icons.

I was supposed to work today 8-2 (we have mandatory overtime every six weeks) but my car was in a drift and they hadn't plowed my parking lot or road yet, so even once I shoveled out my car I still had nowhere to go HENCE I'm not at work. I had to call the temp agency and NOBODY WAS THERE of course because it's Saturday and they are sane people so I called them and left them a voicemail and I sent them an e-mail too but I had nobody at my actual place of work I could call. My sup wasn't in and I didn't think to get her phone number ANYWAY (fail) and I don't have the number of any of the other sups or other people I work with. So now I have to worry all weekend about being fired, which is awesome. But fuck it, I'm not going to feel bad about shit I can't control. If the roads are crap (clearly they are) I'm not going to risk my fucking life trying to work on a gddmn Saturday anyway.

LALALA here I am convincing myself everything will be fine and they won't fire me. I haven't missed work yet, surely that has to count for something :/

WHAT ELSE well being an adult kinda sucks. PAYING BILLS GOING TO WORK wh00t. The last couple of weeks have been pretty terrible tbh, with car problems and I'm-a-new-driver-I'm-going-to-freak-out-about-everything problems and work problems and fucking-shitty-weather problems and being an adult is pretty much a full-time job so I have no idea how so many of you manage that AND have a relationship with someone AND have kids AND work an actual job MINUS being a grownup AND do other stuff too. You are all CRAZY and somehow I'm slightly envious of it.

Also it's bacon in a can. Hopefully that makes up for providing no cheese with my whine :P
