stay away from the light

iceinyourmusicDue to some international contract issues, I can't get my usual brand of cigarettes (green L&M lights) anymore, so every day is an experiment and adventure now. Who knew that non-menthol could taste so salty? And the Swedish cigs I'm smoking right now are so ridiculously tiny. Girly, even.
And, what else? There's Something About Mary was on tv last night. Is it uncool to like anything by the Farrelly brothers these days? I'm always out of the loop on these things. Still, the bit where the Matt Dillon character is trying to jump-start the little dog's heart. Possibly one of the funniest movie segments ever. If you're me. (It's also okay if you're not.)
And speaking of puppies - snorfle:
You are the HELEN MADE ME DO IT excuse.
Its an age-old story: There you were, happily
writing away in your media fandom and asserting
that boyband writers are all squeeing teenies
who write Mary-Sues and are only in it for Teh
Pretty (as oppose to being interested in the
Cultural Implications and the Influence of
slash on mainstream society, like yourself).
But then you stumbled upon Puppies in a Box and
spent a weekend reading, and the following week
angsting over how this will affect your
carefully crafted image as a respectable,
intellectual, and non-squeeing Person of Great
Taste. But the next weekend you're back for
more. And then you find the links to all the
other non-badfic boybandslash out there. In the
end, you never admitted you were wrong about
boyband writers. You just dont discuss it with
other fen quite as frequently as you used to.
Which Newbie Excuse for writing Boybandslash are you? (a mean but fair quiz)
brought to you by Quizilla
None of which, you know, is untrue. Except that I came along way after the Helen days, so my Helen was more of a symbolic Helen, and also I have admitted that I was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Look, see: I was wrong.
But, I'm much better now.
