Nathan Fillion makes straight men gay. Jury's out on lesbians, though.

...personally, I do not understand the Fillion-love. I mean, I got nothin' against the man, but also no desire to get up all against him, if you know what I mean.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just had to splain to someone that PP does not support child prostitution and exploitation

Wow. I'm used to hearing that PP are "baby killers," but child prostitution? How does that even work, if they're killing all the babies? Ain't no babies to grow up to become child prostitutes.

Relatedly: I feel like I need to go around begging people to not blame me for John Boehner. He's from my state (fairly near me, actually, though not my district), so I feel personally responsible for his fuckwittery.

Sure, I didn't vote for him, but I'm from Ohio, so I never actually know who I voted for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which guys do you want to get all up against? I mean, obviously you're wrong, but still.

I should take lunch...

Heh. Well, not really very many of them, to be fair. But IJS, if the man is enough to make straight men gay... There was some Asian-looking 15 year old you linked to a while back with a silly name...he was pretty, but mostly cause he looked like a butch girl. And an ex of mine. :) There are a few guys who are very pretty and I kinda want to lick their abs, but that's about it...

On a different note: I'm reading this article in the NYTimes about ethnic groups and plastic surgery (here) and the guy is giving stereotypes...and says Italians reshape their knees. WHAT? I didn't even know that was a THING. Like, WTF? I'm supposed to be worried about how my KNEES look? That is SO far down on the list. Dude.

hip deep in pie

While I love Nathan Fillion, I don't LOVE him. I do think he's attractive and charming, but I have never been all Gah about him.

Speaking of NF. Remember his quote about buying the rights to Firefly if he won the California Lottery? He just tweeted this:

Looks like there are Browncoats at California Lottery. Stay shiny. >[link]

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

For now, I really hope you're enjoying the heck out of your next project.

I totally am. Thanks!

My mom sent me her itinerary. She is actually getting on a plane and coming to visit me here in LA. I've been here over a decade and this is the first time she's coming to see me. Of course, I am starting the cleaning tomorrow. And she won't be here until the 27th. Of March.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Weird, because I am Italian (American) and I do hate my knees. They look like Campbell's soup kid knees.

Of course, if he wins now, it will look very shady. Shit. It's all ruined.

I would rub up on Nathan. He's got a self-aware roguishness to him that's pretty damned charming. Plus I like his roles.

I suspect I would like Nathan in real life, and I do like his characters, but I am really not attracted. But I tend to be attracted to pretty (Jonathan Rhys Myers, or weird looking and intense (Steve Buscemi and too many others to name), or chubby and cuddly (to my embarrassment- Jack Black).
