And God said, “This shit is cray.”

So, remember waaay back last year when uberaeryn made her post concerning the hero complex similarities between Jack/Sawyer and Spike/Angel? This is kind of like that. Only not.

I blame this mostly on inthekeyofd.

Thanks to gambits_rogue, I signed the petition to have the artwork on the Serenity DVD changed. Because this? Kind of looks like ass. And Nathan is not nearly big enough.

Feeling a little better tonight after sleeping for twelve billion hours today. I still feel a bit like I've been hit by a truck. Plus I watched the season premiere of "That 70's Show" and my worst fears were confirmed--this show cannot survive without Topher. And to be honest, I don't want to watch it without Topher. It should've ended last year; teh funny is gone.

The best part about watching the rerun of "Orientation" tonight was knowing that in one week I will have wounded!Sawyer back. That is all.

On a slightly different note, I came across this interesting discussion about canon support of pairings in various fandoms at metafandom. Unfortunately, the person who started the post doesn't know a thing about Lost, so my ramblings were slightly pointless. But I thought I'd share them with you all and get your feedback on them. Also, feel free to throw Prison Break and Firefly into the mix if you feel like it. :)

Here are the ratings for canon support of pairings as created by petronelle:

0 - No way, no how.

1 - Convince me.

2 - It's vaguely possible.

3 - I can see it, sometimes.

4 - They're probably doing it.

5 - What do you mean they're not?

6 - Canon.

So what do you think? Bueller?

As I would like to refrain from spamming my LJ today, I'm posting all my thoughts together. Whoa.

Speaking of wounded Sawyer...

I thought about f-locking this, but I'd like to have several opinions on this, since I'm curious as to what everyone's policies are when it comes to friending. I very rarely f-lock anything, and I will never make my journal friends only, because what's the fun in that? But I'm also getting to the point where I'm no longer immediately friending people back when I've seen that I've been friended. The flist is getting rather large (100+ in seven months, wow!!), and I just start to feel guilty when I'm only commenting on a handful of posts a day. I went through today and deleted a few people, mostly those whom I have nothing in common with or no longer post anything, and it's hard, because I don't want to hurt feelings or step on toes.

But issues have come up amongst my closer LJ friends about people basically insisting that they be friended and then pimped out to that person's other friends, which, for lack of a better word, is lame. You would never force someone to be friends with you in RL, so why demand it in cyberspace?

I guess my question is when do you stop friending? If you've got a humongous flist, when do you get to the point where you say, "thank you, but no thank you"? And do you always let others know when they've been defriended, and is this considered the polite thing to do?

Also, for those of you who could care less, a pointless poll simply for my curiosity:


[Poll #547512]

For quite awhile now I've heard various rumblings about the Robin Hobb rant against fanfic, but I'd never stopped to read on it because, frankly, my opinion on professional authors lambasting against fanfic is that they can bite it. End of story.

But then I read storydivagirl's insightful meta contradicting said rant, and then discovered the joys of metafandom, and well, this rant was born. Because there are few things I get worked up about, but fanfic snobs always get my goat.
