Julie, I know a number of conservatively religious couples who give that kind of vibe. From the (short) time I spent in a very conservative church, I recall a number of people who got married because marriage-and-kids was what you were
supposed
to do. If a couple was dating for more than a year and wasn't talking marriage, something was 'wrong.' So, I do think a number of couples got married because they found a partner who wasn't an obvious trainwreck, and they moved forward as expected.
Also, it was fairly obvious that in a lot of cases, the SEX IS DIRTY EVIL BAD message that kids raised in the church kept getting led to all kinds of repression and so on, even when a couple truly loved each other. And yes, I think a lot of people got married while in serious denial about their sexuality (because being gay is EXTRA DIRTY EVIL BAD).
In short, I think the hands-offness of the relationship fit very well with the kind of background they gave Jimmy.
I hate Colin.
Hey! The Mafia Soup Kitchen fic is finished! It's the end of an era.
Colin ate peanut butter with Misha, not fair!
The second I clicked on this thread, read about the Mafia Soup Kitchen, and clicked open a new tab to read it, the power went out
again.
Drove to work to read (I have to water the greenhouse anyway).
Anne, thanks for that explanation, very interesting . . .
finished fic. Le sigh. So good.
I finally made it through my Season 6 backlog and this thread last night.
That was fun, but long.
There are an awful lot of confusing acronyms in fic.
That is all.
I don't know why there was a post from me saying "no". Not a clue. Maybe the guy at the cell phone store when he was fixing my browser?
For those who like statistics and charts, here's an analysis of the SPN/J2 Big Bang statistics for the last 5 years.
S6 gag reel, for anyone who can't wait. Eleven+ minutes of goofy goodness, excellent quality.
Touch it.
Touch it?
Touch it.
Thanks, Amy! Nan had posted/linked to one that had a D/C overlay that made it hard to see.
I knew there was something that I forgot on my birthday list.
pizza:
Bobby cuss words? Bullcrap? Hogwash? Horsefeathers? I know Balls! but that's not appropriate for the situation.
I think Bobby would default to something like "shit" other than "balls" in fic. If they could swear on the show, he'd probably say "shit".
