misscamPorn against character bashing!
Or some such. Character bashing makes Cam sad. And by that I don't mean character dislike, which is a different matter. You like what you like and dislike what you dislike, and indeed feel indifference often as well. Fair enough. But when dislike turns to vicious hatred and spending fanfic after fanfic (or other written media) subjecting the object of your dislike to humiliation and degration, maybe it's time to have a drink and get some sanity.
(Also, how you feel about the character, not how the other characters feel or other fans. It's not that hard to get, now is it? You might hate Sara/Catherine/Rose/Reinette/Meredith/Addison/Arwen etc, but that doesn't mean they're not liked at all by anybody ever. And it is possible to like a character and not want to her him/her. Similarly, it is possible to dislike someone without being OMG!jealous. Also, why are we hating on women so? Not pretty.)
Richard Hammond has asked charity be given instead of flowers and people seem to follow this. Aww. Sometimes, people are awesome.
Sometimes, people are not.
Terror suspects held in Norway. I read and boggle and shake my head. I mean, the American embassy is ugly as fuck, but it's moving soon enough, so fight back that irrational urge to flatten the eyesore.
I joke, of course. Because the thought of anyone planning terrorist attacks in Norway is surreal as fuck and I'm not sure how to react. (I'm almost inclined to believe the "loose talk" too. Odin knows I say I lot of shit that would qualify as "loose talk".) I mean, this is Norway. Decades pass between each time a police officer gets killed on duty here. We don't have the death penalty. We don't even have life in prison.
Then again, we thought we were all safe before WW2 and the Germans came invading then. I suppose you can never know. But still, terrorism just feels like something that would never happen here. Fingers crossed for it staying so.
Finally, there be wank over homosexuality and its causes.
Until science can figure out how to MAKE a homo baby, or negate homosexuality into hetero with genetic manipulation, I'd put the 'homo gene' on the back burner of junk science with a political spin. It's like evolution... a convenient theory, but no solid proof of what happened. Just a great hope that the theory IS the reality.
Hi. You're dumb. Please to be understanding how science work, mmkay?
I so need a Bailey "bitch, please" icon. She has the best expressions.
