oh, midterms.

It's a good thing I actually really like linguistics and thinks it's fascinating and awesome, because if I didn't, the fact that I am going to be spending, like, the next SIX HOURS on this problem set might be a little, uh. Frustrating.

Somebody should write me an AU where Fraser is a linguist.

...SHUT UP THAT IS A GREAT IDEA IT TOTALLY IS.

*cough*

Also, I have a question that I have been wondering since brooklinegirl and I were chatting while she was betaing for me yesterday, so if you would follow behind the cut tag and fill out the poll, it would be nice of you!

In fact, I thought I commented and now I see that I didn't. The kink warnings are very much appreciated but as long as it's not death fic, and it's from a good writer, I am usually open minded.

And I really liked it - I thought it was very realistic - I can see that being a kink of F's.

I loved the pancakes. *G*

Hee, I am the one bitch that checks "no". Sorry, Pearl. You know I love you but I can't break the pact. Uh, much.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee. Dude, that is totally okay -- I just have that question there so I can interpret the data easier. Like, I see your no and can choose to totally ignore your answer to the next question, right? (Or see all the on-the-fence people I scare away, or whatever.)

Besides which, I'd be shocked if you did read them. It's not like most of them have incest warnings!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Also, I am amused by your TICKY BOX RAGE. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Haven't actually read it yet, but I have it open in a tab to be read this very night ... along with forty-leven other stories I found on my perusal of skip=240 ...

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

Man, I hate that joke SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS IT, and I don't even know why! And when I have expressed said rage, even to the bitchiest people I know, everyone looks at me funny and kind of inches away, so, uh... yes. I am a freak.

Besides which, I'd be shocked if you did read them. It's not like most of them have incest warnings!

AHAHAHA SHUT UP.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I find myself totally indifferent towards the joke, but it brings enough other people joy that I am like okay, whatever.

AHAHAHA SHUT UP.

Heeeeee. Whatever, someday I will write soomething in a fandom you read and there will be brothers and sister making out ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, forty-leven stories sounds fun!

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Is he a cunning linguist?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Damn straight.

[mondschein1.livejournal.com]

Umm, I just wanted to say that while I didn't read it after seeing the kink thing, I wouldn't have read if it was a PWP of any sort, because I skip those bits. *g* In the interests of scientific accuracy.

And FRASER NEEDS TO BE A LINGUIST OMG. I would write it, only see, am DROWNING. And so I CAN'T. But you are NOT CRAZY. (Not in that particular way, at least. Or maybe I am ALSO crazy. You have fellows.)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee, I totally understand!

And FRASER NEEDS TO BE A LINGUIST OMG.

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE IN MY HEAD!

I bet he could do lots of fieldwork in some of those dying Native languages in the North, too.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thanks! I'm really glad it worked for you.

[mondschein1.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he would be all, "Look! The Native languages actually have no resemblance at all to Russian! So if the Inuit didcross over the Bering Strait, they must have done it while they were all still pre-lingual!" And the other linguists would all hate him, because he is CRAZY! And then while doing field work, he would run into ANOTHER linguist, whose name is VICTORIA, and she would be all, "Oh, I totally agree with your theory," and then see all his evidence, and then publish papers undermining his evidence before he can publish anything HE thinks, and --

Um. I am insane. Somebody stop me. This would also probably work much better if I knew anything about Inuktuit.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heee. Dude, Russian is totally an Indo-European language -- it is not in anyway related to the native languages of Siberia, which actually are related pretty closely to the native languages over in Alaska.

Um. Yes. I'm not sure I like Victoria betrayal being professional, though; I think it hurts more when it's all so personal.

*groans*

[mondschein1.livejournal.com]

Um. Yes. I'm not sure I like Victoria betrayal being professional, though; I think it hurts more when it's all so personal.

Not that it matters, because hi! I don't know any linguistics! But I meant that she would be all cuddlecuddlelurrve with him first, and then betray him for professional reasons -- so it feels personal to Fraser, and then he feels all used.

*shrugs* Hey, I'm just spewing here. No thinking. *big crazy grin*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon. I can't believe no one made that joke before I posted!

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

That betrayal scenario reminds me of "Strange Loops," where they were all scientists.

[mondschein1.livejournal.com]

...I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF MOVIES. Because I never hear of anything. But I suppose somebody must have done it before.
