(no subject)

Well, I marathoned the end of my book. Then things came up and I apologize to anyone I was talking to for anything I might have delayed. I just wasn't with it last night. I'm going to read more Knight at work today and try to pick up the first Temeraire book at the library this weekend. That shall be my next series.

I also has me a Hunger Games icon. Yippee! Also, note to self, never peruse series fandom again. Never.

I also love how true Graham's joke to me is the only time I enjoy romance is when I know it's not really possible. I guess I like getting jerked around. But more than anything, I love the one who loves, knowing that he/she can't win, so he/she just does their best to make their loved one's wishes come true. It's just so tragically beautiful. My favorite trope in fiction. And this is why I don't date. Can you imagine what would happen if I dated?

"We will be victorious"

I really want people to stop arguing over whether the Pentagon shooter was a Democrat or a Republican because we can all agree that he was FUCKING NUTS.

I also think that along the way, pairing in fandom lost its point and became shipping. Pairing isn't about one pair being better than the other but simply about finding fun evidence to support your favorite, not tear down the other. Like how my Suzaku/Lelouch leanings and evidence doesn't cancel out Lelouch/Euphie leanings, Lelouch/Shirley leanings (add to that Lelouch/CC leanings in the novels and Lelouch/Kallen leanings in the manga) or Suzaku/Euphie leanings. I can dislike a pairing but screeching that it isn't canon is just dumb. And while I do not want Yuuki to end up with Kaname (or maybe I do, I'm not even sure anymore. I just want Zero's life not to suck) and will be emo if it happens, I'm not going to snap at someone for liking Kaname/Yuuki. Pairing is just about seeing what you want to and going with it. People need to give up this notion that because their pairing has more evidence, the other person is a dumbass for preferring something else. I prefer Percy/Rachel to Percy/Annabeth and I know that's not the way it works in the books. The morale of this story is people depress me and I want to see "Alice in Wonderland". I'm not sure how these two concepts fit together; they just do.
