Two things, totally unrelated. One: the announcements list drive has been quite successful and I’m closing in on 500 members. I have decided that if it hits 500 by midnight Eastern time tonight (Friday), I’ll write the story of Morrison and Joanne meeting for the first time just for list members. By Christmas. Honest. Probably. :) Anyway, the group page is here and apparently you need a Google account to sign up but don’t necessarily need to use a Google address to make an account. If you don’t want to…

“Juice!”
*howls of laughter* While I typed that last blog entry, Young Indiana abandoned me. I didn’t realize the kitchen door was open, so I didn’t think much of it. After a minute, though, I decided I better go see what he was doing. I found him in front of the open fridge, the maple syrup jug held firmly in both hands, maple syrup spread from between his eyes down his shirt down his pants all over his one bare foot his one socked foot all over the floor all over…

I realize it’s probably ridiculous, but every time I see it I get pissed off. “For every girl who’s ever wanted to be a princess,” it says, and yes, okay, fair enough, I too wanted to be a princess at times. But it still just annoys the crap out of me, because every time I see it I think “I’m betting it doesn’t address–for example–Diana’s anorexia, Masako’s depression, male-only primogeniture, “Waity Katie”, as Kate Middleton was nicknamed as…
interview meme :)
Questions from : 1. You and five people from your flist each get one super power. Who gets what? Oooh. Um, well, like yourself, I kinda want the telepath/telekinetic double whammy that Jean Grey’s got, because, as you said yourself, it includes flight. I would, mind you, be much, much more of a hardass than Jean if I had her powers, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s see. Ted, whom people automatically think of as a tank, actually really likes support roles where he can deal some damage and…
