coffeebuddhaIt's reached that magical time of the night where I do things like pretend to be a dinosaur at my cats and think that telling the internet everything that goes on in my head is the Best Idea Ever.
1. One of my oldest friends is visiting from out of town. She was always the pretty, preppy one in our group. Girl was a straight up cheerleader. In contrast, I wore oversized t-shirts and baggy guys jeans for the better part of about six years because I developed early and was ridiculously self conscious about having an hourglass figure in junior high. That said, it was kind of a shock to see her again for the first time in two years. While I've been losing weight, she's been gaining it. She's still the same pretty girl I've always known, but for the first time in all the years and years that we've known each other, I'm smaller than she is. It's kind of a mindfuck.
2. I think the reason I don't ever even try to write het porn is because there are no good words for the vagina. Vagina sounds too clinical, pussy and cunt make me cringe, and everything else either sounds gross or too flowery. Why are there no good words for lady parts, people? Can we change that? Anybody have a suggestion?
3. I just remembered that I'm supposed to be singing the special music in church on Sunday morning. And I agreed to go out drinking with the friend from 1 tonight. Not my best move. Oh well. It's not like I was planning on drinking much anyway.
4. There's this guy I might possibly have a tiny crush on, but I can't figure out if I like him or the idea of him--he's a nice guy and I could seriously do with a nice guy, especially after the shit I went through with my ex. I was talking with a mutual friend of ours who knew him before I did the other day, and she told me that when she first met him, she thought we'd make a good couple, except I was living several hours away at that time. Not sure what to do with that. Probably the same thing I always do: Nothing. Because I have no lady balls. None at all.
5. I've always been very adamant that while I don't judge people who read/write RPF, it's very much Not My Thing unless the people involved have been dead for about a century or so.My not so inner history nerd is a total whore for historical fiction. That said, I am totally going over to the dark side. RPS has turned into my dirty little secret the last few weeks. I can't stop reading it and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's only a matter of time until I try my hand at writing some. I have made impassioned arguments at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
topetine that I'm not truly a lost cause until I write it, but all these actors make it so damn hard to not write about their secret love. GUYS! STOP HAVING THE AUDACITY TO BE HAPPY AND AFFECTIONATE IN PUBLIC. GAH. YOU'RE EXPLODING MY BRAIN OVER HERE.

Date: 2011-05-22 08:21 pm (UTC)Second of all, regarding #5, what fandom are you reading? Who has been "happy and affectionate in public"?
Fuck... Tornado siren. I'll finish this later...
Not that you care about my opinion, but it's 3 am and I can't sleep, so you're getting it anyway :D
Date: 2011-05-23 07:45 am (UTC)Anyway, um... where was I?...
OH! Third,
I too am a total whore for historical fictionBRAIN-TWINS!! Any recs?Fourth, I agree with
Fifth, I agree with you completely about the while I don't judge people who read/write RPF, it's very much Not My Thing. That being said, we both know that if you write it, I'll read it. *sigh* Which sort of makes me want to suggest that you not give in to the potential for hot boys in sexy situations merely because I've tried so hard - and succeeded so far - in avoiding RPS and if you cave, two things will happen: 1) non-RPS writers will become an even smaller group; 2) I'll be forced to resign my status as a non-reader of RPS, because I can't resist your stories.
And finally, why aren't there any nice words for lady parts? Stupid English language... I can't think of any good terms for it (read: terms that don't make me cringe) either. Let me know if you ever hear of any!
I hope you're having a good night and sleeping well!
Re: Not that you care about my opinion, but it's 3 am and I can't sleep, so you're getting it anyway
Date: 2011-05-23 11:50 pm (UTC)Shemar Moore/MGG, Alex O'Loughlin/Scott Caan, and pretty much the entire cast of Supernatural. So far the extent of my RPSing consists of reading fics and yelling at
The problem with the guy is that we are friends and the last few times I tried dating a friend, it ended up being a disaster and all but one of the friendships were ruined. I'm a little leery about having that happening again.
Depends. What country and time period do you like? I tend to read pretty much everything I can get my hands on. Seriously, I'm a huge nerd. XD
I wonder if there are better names for lady parts in other languages? English already steals so many of its words from other languages, why shouldn't we pillage and loot that too?

Date: 2011-05-25 10:34 pm (UTC)I can understand not wanting to ruin a friendship. If you decide to make a move, maybe you could make sure to talk to him about your concerns about losing his friendship, ya know? You know that saying of "A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a great friend will be sitting next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'"? Well, I've heard an extension - "A true friend is the kind you can sit down with comfortable silence and read a good book next to. And that's who you should marry." I think that some of the strongest relationships start out as friendships, because in the strongest marriages, the person isn't just your spouse - s/he is your best friend, too. I guess it depends on if you think the potential relationship is worth the risk. Well, that's my two bits on that, if it helps at all.
Country and time period? Anything. You're not alone in your nerddom, my friend. :D
In other languages? I don't know the words for them in many languages, but I know that in French the word for vagina isn't any better (it's vagin - seriously). But the word for pussy is kinda fun - la chatte. Think we could get people to start using that?
Re: Not that you care about my opinion, but it's 3 am and I can't sleep, so you're getting it anyway
Date: 2011-05-26 02:32 am (UTC)I'll definitely think about it. Whatever happens will happen. :)
Let me go through my bookshelves and I'll see what all I can come up with for you. :) Do you also want biographical novel type things? Like The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George(one of my all time favorite authors)? Because that's the sort of thing I tend to gravitate toward the most. Long live the nerds!
lol We can try!
