schmericaI have spent an embarrassing portion of this weekend sleeping. Seriously. I think I would frighten myself a great deal if I actually sat down and figured out the number of hours, so I will avoid that. However, this means: tonight? Totally work night. And tomorrow's still reading period, and I don't think my papers are due till two or so, so...
During the brief time these last few days when I was among the living, I still managed to read a story that pissed me off more than anything I've read in a while. I don't normally have very visceral reactions to stories, really; if it's bad, I either ignore or pass it around for amusement, and if it's good, I revel in its goodness. But this ... gah.
If you want to write Happy Romantic Our Boys Get Together fic, it helps if you don't make them both into such immense fucking assholes that I want to stab them both in the eye with a giant stick. The fact that I want them together doesn't outrank normal human empathy or decency, you know?
Also, I think there are some characters I just shouldn't really read fic for. Because you know? Even besides the 'having respect for characterization' thing? I'm wimpy. Even when I don't like a character, the feeling of pointless cruelty or meanness icks me out in a real way. It makes my stomach hurt.
Man, my sleeping kept me from doing laundry this weekend, too. Damn. I could have sworn I had more clothes than this... I guess I'll add that to the to-do list.
I shall now take a shower, and settle into my Paper Writing Frenzy!!!. With, of course, the friendly necessities of Coke, whatever food I can scrounge up in my room for dinner, and my AIM buddy list.
