VENTING POST
I have a headache, I'm overtired, I'm stressed, and I'm in a PISSY MOOD.
I therefore declare this a post for venting any flavours of anger, frustration or irritation. Fannish or real life. Specific or general. Personal or universal. Carefully reasoned or heedlessly capslocked. Anonymous or not.
Here, I'll go first:
- Dear writers of Nine/Jack/Rose, an OT3 very dear to my heart, and writers of John/Elizabeth, a pairing that is growing sneakily on me: PLEASE GET OVER THE SHITTY PORN AND THE GODAWFUL ROMANCE AND HAND ME SOMETHING WITH ACTUAL EMOTIONAL SUBSTANCE. OR DECENT CHARACTERISATION. I'D SETTLE FOR THAT.
- Dear iPod: I know I was kind of inviting you to die young by naming you Camille, but that doesn't mean I am in any way less pissed off about it. You know I can't afford to replace you. GRRRRR.
Your turn!

I love her character because she's subtle. A female team leader could so easily have been made kickass and snarky but...she's not. She's a diplomat, she's a genuinely nice person who has to make very tough calls, she's sometimes not sure of what she's doing and she sometimes has to hold onto her authority very tightly to stop it from slipping away. She doesn't think too much of herself. I find her fascinating.
(VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION: McKay/Sheppard, canonically, does zilch for me. I don't see it. At all. But I have an unhealthy addiction to it in AU form.)

...Hey, can there be a fistfight now? I think we would all feel better. *jumps in*
:D

And then the bus ran late.
AND I MISSED MY FUCKING SHUTTLE TO MY INTERNSHIP BY FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES, THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH PITTSBURGH TRANSIT.
So now I'm here in the computer lab, and tomorrow I'm going to have to pull ANOTHER FUCKING TWELVE-HOUR DAY because I'll have to deal with both a night class and the internship as opposed to just the internship, and I just. ARGH. The benefits of public transit are still outweighing the problems I've had with it, but I am so sick of my schedule getting warped by theirs, ESPECIALLY when I have so much to do every week this summer.
*breathes*
Wow, that felt good.
(Also, while I'm at it, Heroes fandom? Sylar is not a cuddly puppy who only needs the power of twu wuv to redeem him, and yes, he's hot, but your constant fangirly squealing over that without taking into account that he's also a potentially cannibalistic serial killer is starting to get on my nerves. Knock it off.)

PLEASE COME BACK. We still have to turn in one more project and then, oh, FINALS. Stop getting into slacker mode already!

BUT I'M ESPECIALLY ANGRY AT THE PEOPLE WHO, WHEN I TELL THEM I AM GOING TO FAIL AND HAVE TO REPEAT THE YEAR, GO "OH, WELL, MAYBE YOU'LL BE FINE." NO, NO I WON'T. HOW MANY TIMES CAN I REPEAT THIS AND IN WHAT WAY IN ORDER TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND AND THUS AVOID GOING THROUGH THE HUMILIATION ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN RESULTS ARE PUBLISHED. I HATE THOSE PEOPLE THE MOST. CAPSLOOOOOOOCK.

- Oh my God, I'm so tired! What was I thinking yesterday? How can 4:30 AM possibly have been a great time to stagger home without even the excuse of being drunk? Self, don't do that!
- I don't want to start woooooooork in the Tenderlooooooooin.
- WHO THE HELL NAMED IT THE TENDERLOIN AND WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?!

Stealing is bad enough, but retroactively stealing Christmas is worse.
Dear Fandom Newsletters,
Would you stop linking to shitty fic just to have a longer issue? I friend fandom newsletters in high hopes and then gradually get to the point where I never click on any links at all unless they're to artwork or interesting meta. Seriously, quality over quantity.
Dear Attention Span,
Please come back! Think of the times we used to have together!

Dear work: You don't pay me a lot. But you still pay me too much for me to be this damned useless. Seriously. Challenge me or fire me; at this point, either would be a relief.

I could jump up and down and sing MOVE TO AUSTRALIA some more, but I know that it's not particularly constructive. What are your prospects? Do you think you could apply for a more interesting job? Do you have savings/possibility of loans that would allow you to go back to uni, like you wanted?
no subject
Am considering my options, yeah. *considers Australia*

Is Camille really dead? :[
no subject
I think so :( Not even rebooting will fix anything.

I don't suppose there's an Apple store nearby?
no subject
You were VERY bored?Yeah, there is. I may drop in after exams, but I fear Camille is beyond all help.

Not to mention that said craptastic agenda has eaten my flist this evening and caused me to delete random RP LJ interests in a ridiculous panic. I won't even begin to delve into the LAYERS AND LAYERS of irony involved there.
*sigh*
But... won't you need him... for exams? *panics* I can send musics if necessary!
no subject
I have my music! It's all on Louis the external hard drive! It's just less portable.
no subject
Aha - well, that's a relief. But I still weep for the playlists. :[
