Ask me my opinion of any fannish topic. Show, character, storyline, meta issues, kerfuffle, you name it. I am fearless!

Just getting that out of the way before I start my daily bitching. Feel free to skip the whinging and just ask me a question!

So, today it took me three hours to get home. Three. Not helped at all by the fact that my train lost freaking air pressure twice along the way. Agggh. Also, I lost my ring--the one Ty gave me when we were dating. It slipped right off my freaking finger and I didn't even notice til it was too late to go back and find it. I'm seriously sad about this--not only did I like it a lot, but it's also one of the few mementos I have from our relationship. And he bought it five years ago at Disneyland so finding the same one again will be pretty difficult. (It was a mood ring with little stars and moons inside it. Not super special or expensive or anything, but still.) Also, fee increase of 500 dollars per quarter for the UCs! Yay, now I get to panic even more about money.

Also, I haven't posted anything about it on here, even though if you've met me IRL I've complained about it ad nauseam, but I lost about a cup size over the past year. I was a 36C, now I'm a ?B, and you don't really get how big a diff that is until you put on all your old bras to see which ones still fit. *sob* My boobies! How I miss thee! I only have like 2 bras that actually fit, and a couple more that will kinda fit with some tweaking. Luckily they're small enough now that I mostly go braless unless I'm on my period or hanging out with Telis (it makes her feel special that I actually put on a bra for her. it's an event).

In good news, I got an A on my Shakespeare final (and my TA said that I "brought up a number of angles on these passages I hadn't thought of or seen on 30+ exams so far"!) and California overturned the ban on gay marriages. Fuck yeah, Cali!

Losing weight? I would love to see my size 40 DDD warn down to something human if that meant I was losing weight and I love boobies!

Um.

I'm gonna grill you like I did [info]kalpurna

a) What do you think is the worst cliche in bandom fic?

b) What do you think is the best cliche in bandom fic? (Which fanon or
convention do you nom nom and can never get enough of?)

c) What is the least attractive thing about bandom?

d) Who is your favorite bandom author besides yourself?

e) Who is your favorite bandboy/girl?

f) Who is your least favorite?

g) Finish this sentence: "This fandom needs more _________-"

h) Do you ever just like to roll around in some good wank every now and
again? If so, on what issue do you like to hoist your flag?

i) Any more cultverse (or any fic really) brewing?

(Answer any or all... or if you don't like them, none.) :o)

Yeah, I lost about 30 pounds(maybe? I have no idea how much I weighed before...or now, come to think of it), went from a size 12 to a 5, but the thing is, my proportions are still totally the same, except minus boobs, so I have basically the same body as before, just littler. Not a big deal. And I'm seriously bitter about losing my boobs.

a) What do you think is the worst cliche in bandom fic?

Hmmm...I dunno. Oh, actually I just bitched about this a while ago! I don't know that it's popped up so much in bandom, but in general moaning the person you secretly like's name while masturbating when you don't want them to find out they like you, especially while in a location where they could easily overhear you. Gah, drives me up a wall.

Oh, wait! I thought of another one: "we're both in love with each other, yay! now lets go fuck immediately!" I find it so weird that there's never a dating period or even a 'we're best friends, so maybe we should think about this a while' period, even in drawn-out relationship fics. Characters always just find out they like each other and then bone immediately, as though it's no big deal. Which, it's pornfiction, yeah, but still. I want more build-up!

b) What do you think is the best cliche in bandom fic? (Which fanon or
convention do you nom nom and can never get enough of?)


GSF. That's considered a convention, right? But yeah, I love GSF. (Which I realize is even more unrealistic than boning immediately after finding out the person you like also likes you, but whatev.)

c) What is the least attractive thing about bandom?



d) Who is your favorite bandom author besides yourself?

Hmm....this is so hard? There are so many authors I love, but I think [info]gigantic is probably my favorite. I love how complex and realistic her fic is, and how she doesn't just focus on the romantic relationship she's writing about, but also recognizes the various alliances and friendships that are also important to her characters.

e) Who is your favorite bandboy/girl?

Boy: Patrick brings me the most consistent joy, Pete is the boy of my heart. (Predictable, no?) Girl: does Alicia count? Because Alicia Way is so fucking adorable, I can't even.

f) Who is your least favorite?

Andy. The way he talks about women skeeves me. Also, the whole anti-corporation, anti-establishment thing combined with repping for Nike, wtf Andy.

g) Finish this sentence: "This fandom needs more _________-"

BDSM! Especially well-written BDSM!

h) Do you ever just like to roll around in some good wank every now and
again? If so, on what issue do you like to hoist your flag?


Assholery? *g* I don't know, really. I've wanked about a lot of things. The longer I'm on LJ, the wankier I get, I find.

i) Any more cultverse (or any fic really) brewing?

Yes, actually! I have about six pages of Brendon cultverse written, I just need to find time when I'm not exhausted to finish it. I have some other ideas as well, but not much written on them yet, unfortunately. School melts my brains.

You know, everything you say about not liking Andy is why I find him so perversely fascinating. Like, I don't want to touch him with a ten foot pole, but man. He makes no sense on one level, and on another is exactly like the kind of guys I knew on the radical activist scene back in the day. (Hell, my husband, who I met in that scene, has some of the same traits.) God, I have to write my sequel to the "Andy is a misogynist asshole" story.

FYI... If you're still a B then you didn't go down a cup size, the number indicates the band size. You were probably just closer to a C if not a C before. If you're really curious though places like Victoria's Secret will measure you, although they actually told me that I was a 34B but using the last hook on a 32B is actually more comfortable... And actually you don't really need that many bras, I pretty much just wear my nude Pink bra (Pink being the line, nude being the color) most days (I don't go bra-less because we'll just say I get cold easily).

On a side note, I think more often than not someone I don't want to win ends up as America's Next Top Model. I wouldn't care so much except that now we'll have to see Whitney being all fake and over the top every week in those My Life As A Covergirl spots and probably continuing to call herself a plus-sized model and every girl watching yelling at the TV, "Shut up! You're so not Plus-Sized!"

Oops, I mistyped! No, I used to be a C and am now a B. I put ? for the band size because I used to wear a 36C, but now the band is tight on me while the cups are loose (on some bras, anyway). IDK. I've thought about getting measured at Victoria's Secret but then I'd have to buy one of their expensive bras. Ugh.

I haven't really been watching ANTM this season, like, at all. I'm sorry the girl you don't like won, though! (You know, I actually read that she was a size 4, and was asked to gain weight for the show. Laaaame.)

Oh! Although I still have like 30 bucks or so on the gift card you gave me, so maybe Victoria's Secret is a possibility. Thanks for reminding me!

Whatev. As long as you write something I will be happy! (I have your latest post open in a tab, I'm saving it so I can enjoy it slowly! Tho I am sad I missed the chance to request something. You know what it would have been, though--ASHLEE CULTVERSE NOW NOW NOW PLEASE?! *g*)

I still love your lovely lady lumps and would eat cake off them.

I only have one bra with me. It kinda sucks and since I'm staying with a creepy guy (more on that later) that likes me I'm keeping the bra on.

Richard and I went apartment hunting yesterday and everyone kept calling him saying "yay you can get married" he said he would care more if he wasn't single.

Funny story about my future gay roommate. He has decided he wants to be less gay. Like gay like TR Knight, because he finds that to be more sexy so we thought up a code word for me to say when he's being super gay. And watching the will to my grace try to act manly has been quite fun.

We also get into fake fights about how he doesn't understand me because his legs work and he should feel lucky to dance for six hours! People stare its funny.
