Two rants.
1) A/B is extremely rare pairing. There’s age difference between them, experience difference, huge cultural difference. But the author for some reason is using main fandom pairing relationship dynamics to describe her rare pairing relationship.
Funny thing is that if you try and insert Character C from the main pairing instead of B in the fic, nothing would change at all. Question: why bother with new and shiny pairing for this?
2) It’s somehow believable for 17-year-old to tell someone that he’s gay and that he already had sex of all kinds imaginable. And that his father oppressed and abused him for being gay. However, it’s not very convincing if that information comes to light in a small talk with person the teenager met fifteen minutes ago for the first time ever. |

Santa Fe Chicken
I made this for dinner tonight, along with some white rice and sour cream. It turned out wonderfully, so I figured I would share. I'll definitely be making it again! Crock Pot Santa Fe ChickenCourtesy Gina's Weight Watcher RecipesServes 8 / Points: 4.25 ww points * 24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast * 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chile peppers * 15 oz can black beans * 8 oz frozen corn (I used canned, it worked just as well) * 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro * 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth * 3 scallions, chopped * 1 tsp garlic powder (I added extra before serving) * 1 tsp onion powder (I added extra before serving) * 1 tsp cumin * 1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste) * salt to taste Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning. Serve over rice (extra pts). I added some shredded sharp cheddar to each serving, along with a blob of sour cream. Yum! If you're not a rice fan, this would also go well with warmed tortillas, or on top of a baked potato. Taste-wise, it's a lot like chicken tortilla soup, but more hearty. Enjoy! |

Pain Perdu
Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for a really custardy pain perdu? I had a craving for it last night & made some baked french toast, but it didn't come out right. The leftovers are rock hard & I have them soaking in milk. I usually think of regular french toast as something really yummy when it's hot, but that I choke on when it starts to cool & get tough. Is thicker bread the secret? I thought it might come out better if I did it in the crockpot. |

DAY 29
Sam, Autumn, Chrissy, and Sam all ended up coming into Kaya to visit me so we all hang out at Autumn's place afterwards. It made me feel so loved. And gave me a great end to my shift! AND we just had a really had so much fun. I got to spend some girl time, it was great. needed it. Today started off a little rough. I was grumpy cause i slept in really late and made the wrong choice to eat waffles instead of toaster strudel...that was what I REALLY want, I realized after popping the waffles into the toaster. haha BUT My Women in Religion class ended up cheering me up. I actually spoke in class again, something I hadn't done in a while. I have been second guessing myself too much I decided I can't be doing that to myself anymore. Also, I worked out. Which felt amazing. I feel so strong and refreshed and beautiful now. Gonna see Andrew in a sec. Current Mood:  hopefulCurrent Music: LED ZEPPELIN! |

The day was terrible, as I felt rushed and stressed the entire time and everything seemed to go wrong. At least I was able to finally relax at the end and have some time for myself. =x |

YMMVI'm not really an American-picker, for the most part. Though, I am something of a teeth-grinder and non-commenter when military stuff is screwed up. Not that I comment because I screw military stuff up so I keep my mouth shut. Anyway. Despite our overweening love of all things automobile, the United States of America does have trains. We have a huge and well used railroad system that hauls millions of tons of freight every single day. Cities have freight yards where goods are off-loaded and on-loaded. Intermodal freight systems are very popular on our railways. We even have *gasp* passenger trains that run across the entire country, length, breadth, and slantwise. It may not be popular or normalized in the media, but trains do exist in the US of A and we do make prodigious use of them. All Americans know what trains are and that we have them because in every part of America there are train tracks. We even use the expression "They grew up on the wrong side of the tracks." That refers to the train tracks, not animal tracks or some other thing. Even completely moronic, uneducated Americans will know what a train is and what train tracks are for. A reasonably educated American, say a CSI character, will not be completely shocked and totally surprised to find that Las Vegas has train tracks running through it. Nor will he be shocked and surprised to discover that working trains actually use said tracks. |

Very nitpicky, and may be YMMV, but if a teacher were to call a student "eye candy," there may be some sexual harrassment issues. Also, I'm not really sure why a teacher would assign an essay to compare Dickens and Shakespeare. Unless, of course, they're covering the entire span of British literature in one week. Generally, when I was in high school, you'd be assigned two authors from similar periods, or who wrote similar genres, to compare and contrast, not two random British writers. It's kind of like me saying "Write an essay comparing Stephen Sondheim and Louisa May Alcott." Not wrong, just... random. Also, when it's considered "mild-character bashing" to have a slightly annoying but harmless character rape someone, you need to change your perception filters ;) Oh, and Kurt's still not a girl (ETA: insert random Glee rant) and Ianto's more than capable of defending himself when Jack's not dragging him into potentially hazardous situations without any gear. Just saying. |

This might sound like a weird one, but does anyone have a macro/gif/whatever of Patsy's "I condole you" from "Death"? Thanks. Current Mood: bereaved |

I'm allowed to like the mainstream pairings in my fandom. No, seriously. There's no need to call my mainstream pairing "stupid cliche bishie yaoi bullshit" to my face. |

Repeat after me...
I know this has been done to death but come on now. If the guy keeps saying no and variations of the same, then it is not dub-con, it is NON-CON. It doesn't matter if the guy has a thing for forceful guys or rough sex. Nothing in his words or behavior even implied 'yes,' and no, getting turned on does not count. Unless it's playing, generally with a safe word, no means no. Please, stop insisting it was only dub-con. Now I'm a little freaked out by you. |

Dear X-Men fandom,
When did we decide that Nightcrawler can't pronounce the word "You"? I know he has a strong accent, but his problem is mostly with W and TH sounds, from what I can recall. What's with this trend of having him say "vou" or "zou"? I've confirmed that he doesn't do that in X-Men Evolution, and while I don't have the movies or the comics to check, I'm pretty sure he doesn't do it there, either. And most of the fanfics I've seen that do this have been in the animated fandom. So where is this coming from? |

Day 31
Having a great guy friend is sometimes exactly what you need. I had the worst day in a while but he was distracting me with pictures of the Milky Way and so on. He cheered me up and he didn't even know I was in the need of it. A great friend, indeed. |

I like this whole 'posting a shiny new longfic all at once' deal, but, uh, if you're gonna post it in chapters, do you have some sort of moral objection to posting it on your journal so that you only have to make one post to the comm? |
