three things
1) World Youth Day is upon us. How do I know this? I know this because Womens College has been INVADED BY NUNS. I came down to breakfast and there were something like 50 American nuns lining up for juice and toast, and for a moment I thought I might have been hallucinating. But no! Nuns. Very...nun-looking nuns. With different coloured wimples and things to show what sisterhood they're from. Fascinating! Especially since I had the Bare soundtrack stuck in my head and was wandering around the dining hall mumbling there's a bender among us, there's pink in our flock and other completely inappropriate things.
2) I am rather surprised at the strength of my hatred for Katy Perry's song 'I Kissed A Girl'. I just. Wow. I know it's supposed to be a fun song and the lyrics are more about exploring personal preference than any kind of homophobia, but something about the combination of the SEX SEX BLATANT SEX THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS WE BISEXUALS ARE HERE SOLELY FOR YOUR PERSONAL TITILLATION of the music video and the deliberate coyness -- it's not what good girls do -- just really, really rub me the wrong way. I'll be over here with Jill Sobule's song of the same name, thanks.
3) Aria is disgustingly speedy and talented and has ALREADY written an amazing alt!Doctor/Rose fic that covers pretty much all of my important opinions about that pairing, which means that now I don't have to write one. WHOO. East of the Sun & West of the Moon -- Doctor Who -- This is the closest they'll ever come to the sky again, and the closest they'll ever come to each other, and he's sorry they know it.

I recommend listening to it all the way through when you have nothing else to do, eg. on a long bus trip. It deserves proper attention. Though if you are the type to get emotional at certain times of the month, timing it to coincide with that is, er, unwise (WELL DONE FAHYE).

If it makes you feel any better, [Unknown site tag] is full to the brim with sexist, troglodytic members who wouldn't know something like homophobia if it bit them on the ass, but the vast majority of the young women who comment there hate the song for the same reasons you and I have mentioned, so we're hardly the only ones who see its problems and detest it.
