God, Toby Keith, your new album sucks
So much stress. Also losing ability to see screen. I swear, and this time I'm serious, if this isn't cleared up tomorrow, I'm cutting work and going to the doctor.
I think it's time for one of my yaoi rants, seeing as I've been reading lots of fics and checking out doujin. Biggest one lately: How come the seme always gets to keep his clothes but the uke has to be totally naked? This pertains to both mediums but is most frustrating in doujin. Can't they both be naked? The seme's hot too. Why can't we check out sexy legs and stuff? Also, mysterious puddles look silly. Cou, I'm looking at you here, dear. Second, I dislike interchanging the terms top and seme. Many characters can top, but some look downright silly when they seme. Case in point, Yukito from CCS would be a hot top... he would be TERRIFYING as a seme. And not in a good way. Seme is the silly yaoi term that carries all its connotations with it (such as that ability to wear clothes during sex mentioned above, the tendency to not overly care whether their uke is in the mood, dominating personality and occasionally the love of teasing). Also borderline noncon. Whereas top is self-explanatory. As I've said many times, I am no fan of the seme/uke dynamic since it's so badly written/portrayed. Unless I am mocking the hell out of it. I can do that. But I do loves me some surpraise topping! Here endeth the rant.
In other ranting news, um... I don't like it when people tell me who to vote for. I'm cool with encouraging others to vote. But at this stage of the game, most people are friggin' tired of rhetoric from either side. I mean, I could tackle the Fairness Act, which so many conservative radio hosts are so vehemently protesting for fear of its return with Obama. But it makes a lot more sense to reserve that discussion for after the election.
Quotes of the day:
-"I vote because I get a free sugary cookie." "No, dumbass, that's when you give blood."
-"I vote because I want to bitch about the machines."
-"I vote because I like the 'I voted' sticker." "They didn't tell me you don't get one if you vote absentee. :("
-"I vote because ACORN pays me."
-"If I vote from "commie" Virginia, does that mean it's not a REAL vote?"
-"I sell my vote on e-Bay."
