Just got around to reading my notifications and found( this fic ) which is a quite cute Sherlock fic. The title is exactly something that my first husband used to say whenever he used to mock pretentious people in order that he not feel his lack of educational background as a problem.

I never made fun of him for the chip on his shoulder which his mother regularly replenished. Perhaps if I had things might have been different. Pretension is other peoples' interpretation of your own refinement, I think I thought of him only just todaY as I was cutting the hedge that I planted "what do we want a hedge for?" "to stop people wandering into our garden?" Tch, Our garden, listen to you..."

He never really got that I loved him past this, and that the most unlovable thing he did for himself was to give people permission to make himself feel inferior, and that in the end that was the thing that I couldn't bear watching about being with him. I'm not perfect but I will miss him sometimes especially when reading phrases like "Counterpoint the Surrealism of the Underlying Metaphor" come up as someone tries to bullshit their way through.

And now, this..

..Simply because MF is the same height as my ex.

Having a broken modem box caused a mega melt-down on Mothers' Day. I basically had that as the last straw and phew, the aftermath...

Precipitated by the unexpected and unexplained death of one of my new cats, four months with me and then the little ginger nuisence goes and pegs out permanently. I had the two rescue cats new to the house in November together, and due to their behaviour and physical characteristics they were renamed Oscar Sherlock Moonpotato and Dr John sexy-biscuit Watson. It was Little (hulking large) Ginger Biscuit that extinguished his light, and myself and my ten year old were with him at the time, expecting to watch the Disney channel and then walk to school as usual. On his tombstone, theoretical tombstone at least, will be the Spike Milligan line "I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL", the comedian and personality that he was deserving of such a lineage of one line novels.

Before that just the usual money/car/teenage daughter stuff, all within ordinary range of horridness of life but just so much of it .

And I broke a tooth.

As usual posted to LJ via cut and paste, or shan't bother and just put the funny there instead.

May you read this and think, yikes, life isn't that crap here .

Subject: Delivery of order no XXXX948

Please remind the person who packed the order for me that the selection of "items to be packed in bags" was selected, as always. Less than a quarter of the items delivered were in bags; as I currently have a broken wrist this is a neccessity for me. The omission of the bags caused inconvenience to say the least, and too many trips up and down stairs. The driver explained that the people who usually pick/pack were replaced by a management team. Please don't let them in future.
Please.
So you may trace the order:

toft person, you are just so *non-participatory* in a group which you are so clearly striving to be a member of, that I think you cannot easily reclaim the goodwill which up till now you've taken for granted.

Oh, and by the way, I already said this to

toft in pixel so I'm not being shifty, or any of the other things she has been called out on.

Just me having the one account name by which I'm known then, and non of this multi named deceptive stuff? Yep, looks like it.

Most people want to be Rodney, not Kavenaugh. With any luck we achieve Radek.

... You know when someone makes a great effort to do (write) something and they really try hard (write 50 thou words or so) and their effort can be really great ... for them... but sort of ( like a teen novel translated from another language into English with repeditive and unimaginative pacing and a kind of motherly descriptive Bowdlerised air to it and you don't know whether to bother to finish or persist in the hope that you will find their beta-editor has interfered strongly and creatively) not great, and then you stop yourself and chide the writing critic you that has only blogged a bit recently not achieved 50 thou words or so and could be interpreted as being a sour silly about it....

Well, fuck that; SGABB has an item that has made me behave like Ned Flanders' younger sister at church just now and I don't know whether to treat it as an outline or dump it as a bad job or applaud it's irony or just laugh my ass off at it....

It's a bit like Dickens or Hardy as a style. Throw the egg at the town centre statue or saw it's head off, it's still more work than I myself have ever done SO FAR.

Right.

A Hewligan BB entry it is then, I just challenged myself.

Look, LJ or DW, it is Google chrome that is not helping today. I have fallen off the face of the internet into my iPod and will live there quite cheerfully but i have to say relying on DW to repost to LJ is tiring.

Whilst you think about that (!) here are serious and worthwhile items.

The Heterosexual Privilege List

I can be pretty sure that my roomate, hallmates and classmates will be comfortable with my sexual orientation.

People don’t ask why I made my choice of sexual orientation.
People don’t ask why I made my choice to be public about my sexual orientation.

Found this on tumblr - here.

Thanks to apihile who is beyond... well, most people on and off line actually.

Yes I know it.s not even been filmed yet, and the plotlines are hardly dry out of the printer. i have definite and quite firm intentions towards the fourth series of Torchwood, or the first series of new Torchwood the X Files copy.

I doubt if I will watch each ep as it is broadcast, unless my e-mates in the US are the remotest bit curious in which case I may watch as long as there is Andy in it.

I f there is no Andy in the ep, I will not watch the repeats. *frowns darkly* I remember well what happened to Agent Pendrell and The Lone Gunmen. and also in particular how crappy writer producers may ruin a good or even a great thing for the sake of deconstruction that week.

Plotlines that are designed to collect the interest of the general public will be by self-definition of uninterest to the fans, Smoking Man excepted, and the locations and token Americans will spoil Cardiff... Hang on, is that the XFiles I'm still talking about here or is it a mishmash of all the other disappointments in fandom I've had colouring my POV (Micheal Grade cancelling Doctor Who)

Busting a formula is only a little bit amusing, second Darren in Bewitched, and therre is little I have seen before that I will hope to see from the mature stylings of the producer Who Shall Not Be Named. I will unwatch many comms as a precaution because I am still itrritated about the mess at the Not Tourist Office door in Cardiff being spoilt by people. Even GDL has asked for people to stop it, come on get grown up please!

To summarise:- Captain Andy OR BUST. I'll have to get him to blog about it.

For a film made in the last century, ahem, the spoof film titles at the Oscar Ceremony debacle are still current and only a little sharply out of true. But the Beavis and Butthead thing earlier now needs to be explained, as does OJ Simpson. Olivia Dukakis and James Earl Jones are still venerable, but the Mother Theresa musical?

"Let's look at this logically: you're the psychotic, you should have the envelope..."

Is this something I ought to learn by heart so that I remember which pocket to put my car keys in when I'm out next??

It is such a lot of nicely behaved 25 year olds that I caught myself looking at just now on the S4C feed (all Welsh speaking all the time) that I had a bit of a giggle realising they were all being polite to each other like crazy. Hmm, the former Captain Gareth Thomas has been influential on someone, either by result or example. The ball is getting more action and WTF is that about the lack of scrums then?

You grasp the waist of the man in front through his legs, link up and push shoulder to shoulder for non-rugger speaking countryfolk. Oh, Wales 10 NZ31 at the moment. 8-{

SGA BadFic tropes must include: Teyla being midwifey ... well, there is Rodney m-preg from angst-buttsecks from guilt and woobie compensation for having an arm chewed off in order to save onesself and just before they find the Ancient healing device that can restore the limb Rodney is gangraped because John couldn't speak out his love and Rodney thought he was unWorthy Of Love and didn't tell anyone he was in a sadistic relationship with a casual marine who is anon and burly.... and Radek has been made EVOL in the extreme which of course includes a sudden switch to stealing of John's haircare stuff and Kavenaugh is still the humpty uncool frood that no-one will work with and Atlantis being sentient is totally ignored and pines for Rodney but lights up for John by mistake and blows up a tower to save the baby...

DID I LEAVE ANYTHING OUT FROM THIS DISCUSSION?? http://kanata.dreamwidth.org/1270978.html

When Teyla is being useful to the plot,
be sure to describe her as "serene"!

and to make sure in the end it'd be a touching Christmas fic with...you know, rape and killing
ETA
because nothing says "I love you" like genocide
