why are you so weird, boy?

I keep doing this thing where I think something, and then go "Wait! Wasn't that on my friends list a few days ago?" and then can't identify it at all.

It took me most of the weekend to remember who had been talking about Pepsi Vanilla and how it was really pretty good, even though Pepsi is evil and yicky. I'm still not sure if somebody's post on how there should be a Clark vid to "Johnny, Are You Queer?" was real, or if my subconscious made it up. Either way, I cannot now hear that song without picturing it.

I would try and do the default icon challenge, but I have no desire to do Alan Cumming RPS, and I don't associate this pic with any characters.

I feel really in the mood for a change in my mood icons. Does a Everwood mood theme exist already, or do I need to poke people to make one?

First official day of baby-sitting is going well, by the way -- it's naptime/quiet on the couch watching a video time. This whole experience is so much easier when I can keep telling myself I'm getting paid to do this!

1. I've only tried to write a Smallville het story once, and I couldn't get past the three paragraph mark.

True. It was Chloe/Pete (the only sv het couple I was into, and thus a practically nonexistant one), and I had big plans but couldn't pull it off. It might have been the Pete voice, or just generally apathy.

2. The first fanfiction I ever wrote was for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

True, surprisingly enough. This was quite a while after I discovered fanfiction, but a year, year and a half before I got into fandom. I don't remember what it was about, but it was a few jotted down sentences.

3. Before my eighteenth birthday, even while I was reading and writing porn regularly, I never belonged to any mailing lists that required you to confirm your age with the list owner in an email.

True. Telling yahoo the wrong year of birth so it let me onto adult lists? No problem. Actually emailing people and lying to their faces (so to speak)? Eeep. No. So yes, that *is* an effective weeding-out tool. Imagine!

4. I have no squicks strong enough to make me outright refuse to read a genre or type of story. I'll read pretty much anything if I trust the author.

Ha, LIE! I've told people this before, though, because it *used* to be true, and it still mostly is. The one exception I currently know of is Smallville Clark/Chloe stories. I can't even read them for my favorite authors. I can barely get through taraljc's episode commentary, man! (Although I cannot tell you how grateful I am she doesn't use the kissy icon anymore.)

5. I was introduced to fanfiction and slash at the same time, and it took me a while to realize that people wrote actually wrote het as well.

True. Yeah, I'm slow sometimes; the two concepts were just very closely linked in my mind for a long time.
