Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh yay, Tivo just added a "recently deleted" folder, for those of us whose fingers move faster than our brains.
In a good mood this am, for no reason I can think of. What am I going to wear? My one pair of jeans is in the laundry all crumpled up and shit, the others don't fit, and the other fitting pair I threw out last weekend during my cleaning fit. Jeans days are supposed to be easier, dammit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
is it just me that thinks that you put that in a profile and you've just told the dating community that if they're at all inclined that way, past history suggests your head can be successfully messed with?
No, not to me. It suggests that you don't like that stuff. Whether it's been successful or just plain irritating doesn't come through to me.

What is even happening?
Megan, I'm so sorry to read about your m-i-l. Strength and peace to all of you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
SO I got a full refund for my broken ebay purchase without having to return it, AWESOME. Now I can try fixing it and have it for free.

Art Crawl!!!
I watched the OC during commercial breaks from Supernatural. I am REALLY enjoying Supernatural and it looks like the last six episodes are going to be all arcy.
So, did Seth ever tell Summer that he didn't get into Brown? Did he apply anywhere else? Did Julie find the California admittance letter that Marissa threw away ?

Gronk!
I don't get it - I've had better sleep this week than I can remember having in a long time, but I'm feeling more drag-ass at work than I have in almost as long. I better be as sleepy tomorrow morning when I can roll over go back to bed for as long as I want or I am going to be a serious cranky creature.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Sumi, no, he didn't, the jackass. As far as I can tell, none of them applied to more than one school,, which was pissing me off the entire ep, because nobody only applies to Brown or Berkeley. Hell, even the teen soap with VAMPIRES didn't think their audience would buy that. Dr. Roberts found Marissa's acceptance letter, and he gave it to Julie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
No, not to me. It suggests that you don't like that stuff. Whether it's been successful or just plain irritating doesn't come through to me.
Yeah, but if that were the case, are they really expecting the guys to listen? "Well, I was planning to play you like a dime store banjo, but now that you've told me you don't like it, I guess I'll just keep moseyin'."
It strikes me as somewhat futile as an act of differentiation. To me it says 'I think this counts as an act of self-defence, so you can bet I don't have any effective ones'. Or maybe I'm losing something of the tone in the way I presented it. Women who state something like "If you're just looking for a one-night stand, don't bother because I won't respond to you" or "If your email shows that you can't be bothered to read my profile, don't expect me to reply", that doesn't ping me. The writer's an active participant in addressing the problem. The profiles I'm talking about, there's none of that.

I don't read it as instructions on how to behave, more like selection--don't respond if you're broke, left-handed, short, or into playing. But I haven't read the complete profiles, so I can't respond to the entire tone. Why wouldn't a guy listen? Players know who they are, and unless they're big into the challenge, why bother? Chicks that can be played are a dime a dozen.
