Man, where was everyone today?

I know I was absent too, but that's because of this stupid ass job.

This past weekend, [livejournal.com profile] everlastingwhy's nieces came to visit. They are 15 and 13 and just adorable. eMMa (her preferred spelling) is 13 and has recently entered her neo-punk phase. That means this weekend was spent dying her hair purple and henna-ing a scorpion on her calf. Molly is 15 and spent a good portion of the weekend rereading The Scorcerer's Stone and taking notes. So very cute. Additionally, I decided to reclaim my lost adolescence and get my nose pierced. Hee! I like it so much I think I'm going to go back for the eyebrow next weekend. I'll post pictures as soon as I can swipe my mom's digital camera.

In the cleaning frenzy that preceded the visit, Ru found my copy of Good Omens in a big tupperware container in her room. How did it get there? I have been looking for it for months and was convinced Mom had it. All preliminary evidence points to a ghost.

Is it just me, or should the term 'piss-slit' never EVER be used in slash? It's just gross. Perhaps it's the universe's way of telling me to leave nifty.org alone.

I went to see the new Tomb Raider movie last night with a bunch of people. It was OK, but Gerard Butler? He can come home with me any time he wants. Rwoar. His sexified presence caused [livejournal.com profile] lallybroch to demand I find for her Reign of Fire slash. Does anyone know where I can find some? I only know of a couple stories that appeared on RareSlash.

Ew. That's just vile. I agree, that should be avoided at all costs.

Mmm, Gerard Butler. I'd never thought to look for Reign of Fire slash (I was mostly asleep the one time I saw it), but I'll definitely have to do some hunting.

Yeah, it's one of the more repellent terms I've heard.

RoF wasn't a great movie, but it did have its moments.

A) No it is not just you.

B) That term should never, ever be used. Anywhere.

C) Just say no to nifty.org. Has fandom really come to that? You know, I guess it has. There's just nothing to read anymore.

A) Good.

B) Amen.

C) Word.

Personally I don't mind "piss-slit". Maybe that is because I'm a boy or maybe it's because I have no standards and/or shame. I can't believe you'll read nifty of all things and refuse to venture into boyband slash. I can lead you to some really awesome, non-nifty stuff!!! Follow me... ...it is a path of light and truth...

It's because you have no shame, Mr. TimberLatt.

And do not tempt me with your talk of light and truth. I know the truth, my friend, and it does not involve boybands.
