Actors a-kissing, news a-happening, Cam a-thinking (vaguely)

[misscam]

Okay. So David Tennant and Billie Piper are cute when sharing airways.

I still ain't reading RPF about them, though.

Had the longest day yesterday. In addition to work, my dad begged me to come help him with setting up a database thingy for him. Of course, that took me hours and I've ended up feeling like a zombie all day while doing borning, boring work. Think my energy batteries went flat. But he gave me a gift as thanks today, so that was okay. I'm still wondering if I should eat some brains or something to feel less dead. Ponder, ponder.

Random thought of the day: When two people or two groups have gotten into a certain antagonistic relationship, they're just always going to take everything from other side in the worst meaning and ever increase the dislike, aren't they? Think I've seen at least three examples of that this week, and in different fandoms, too.

Makes me wonder sometimes if fandom needs mediators to hash these things out. Or an ombudsman.

In other news:

Norway fourth best democracy in the world - Sweden tops, Iceland second, Netherlands third, Norway four, Denmark five, Finland six. Five out of six top spots go to Nordic countries. Not bad for our little region. US was only 17th, UK 22nd.

John Barrowman to marry longtime boyfriend. Aww.

Doctor might be charged from giving AIDS as the cause of death. Sigh. Some stigmas don't go away.

Danish ad about the speed limit under fire. I must admit the last line was what cracked me up. Yes please? I'm certainly willing to drive slower for some nekkid ass. How about you?

I need to lay on the couch and be lazy for real. Mmmm. Lazy.

I wonder what the RPF tinhats are going to make out of this snapshot...

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have no desire for RPF about these two because they seem so genuinely happy with their actual significant others. RPF always dies stillborn for me when the actors successfully hook up with other people. I'd feel like I was raining on their parade, even if they never knew about it.

YAY JOHN BARROWMAN.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Wow, that AIDS thing is really incredible. If anyone should be accused of unprofessionalism, it's all the other doctors who incorrectly put some other cause of death for the reason. Holy crap, that's all messed up.


But, yay for John Barrowman, and yes, the David and Billie picture is cute. I'm not going to read RPF for it either, mostly because I just don't care. But I do imagine that will increase the RPF movement in their favor.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I'm already cringing about the RPF batshippers. Why must they insist on One True Loving it up, can't they just write funny crackfic? I like cracky RPF, it amuses me.

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

...i am RPF-ing them. still. damn!

Random realization of the day

[mad-troll.livejournal.com]

When two groups enter such a stage they seem to find easier to build a big wall in the middle.
Maybe because there's a certain tendency to shoot freely on the ombudsman(=ombudsman don't last long enough to make a difference)?

As for eating something to feel less dead: what's there to ponder?
Chocolate!

Holy grammar! don't=doesn't

While I can see that Danish road safety measure taking off in Australia, am having visions of an occupational health and safety stink caused when one of the models sues the governing bodies for chronic sunburn.

*snickers*

Also, we are eighth in the best democracy list! Not as bad as I thought, huh. I am very concerned about the US being higher than Britain, though.

Also, Cam... You got beat by the Swedes! ROFL!

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

We are...... nowhere on the democracy list. We win.

RPF scares me. I just have to say.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Are the pics from the boxset? Cos WAAAAH, region 4 not available for another two weeks. :(

[chicklet73.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay David and Billie for being such close friends. No wonder they had such chemistry onscreen together.

Double yay for John Barrowman's upcoming commitment ceremony. I think that's fantastic news!

Also:
When two people or two groups have gotten into a certain antagonistic relationship, they're just always going to take everything from other side in the worst meaning and ever increase the dislike, aren't they?

I think that's very true. Fandom, offline life, wherever. I know I've been guilty of it myself. We could all use a good ombudsman now and again...

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

RPF has, on occasions in a few of my fandoms, been one of my favourite 'on the bus to a special hell' guilty pleasures. Such a shame one always gets lumped in with tinhats, but then I guess that's what tinhats on every side do - give everyone else a bad name.

Those are very pretty pictures. Mind you, I'm not interested in reading fluffy Tru Lurve stories about these two or CE/BP. Bring on the unapologetic pr0n, I say. *smirks*

[lyricalviolet.livejournal.com]

RPF freaks me out beyond the telling of it. But they are pretty cute together.

Also, not for nothing but Barrowman's waited 16 years to marry his boyfriend? He can't wait til the panto's over? I dunno, but I'd want my wedding day to be more than three hours.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen Billie with her boyfriend anywhere really, but since she's with the guy, I assume he's great and they get along. So yeah - rock on and be happy, say I. For everyone, no matter who they're with.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Porn?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was reading it and had to go lie down from the frustration at it all. I can understand it, which just makes it worse. The world has some serious ways to go yet.

Probably, aye.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

speshulduck comes to mind.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You naughty :P

As long as people draw a firm line between fantasy and reality, I tend not to get too upset over RPF. It usually ain't too much of my thing, though.

Re: Random realization of the day

[misscam.livejournal.com]

:P

Unfortunately, that wall tends to go straight through fandom and makes navigating so much more complicated, you know?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sunblock is a wonderful thing, I say. Though perhaps there are certain areas one is not too keen on rubbing it in.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We beat them in best plce to live, so HAH.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No, I found you. 63rd for the Phillipines. You can see the full report here.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are.

You got an order in yet, then, or you want for Christmas?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I know cases where I'm guilty of it myself. Once you dislike someone, you really want to feel justified in that dislike, so you do take everything in worst meaning.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know the LotR Tinhats forever left certain scars on me in RPF relation, yes. Because their RPF stuff was just plain old freaky and vile, at times.

You always want the porn.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Don't knock pantomime now. You might get angry mimers on your hand.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Huh. We did better than I would expect.

[lyricalviolet.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Just wow.

And I just deleted my journal...

(If anyone asks -- or cares -- it's cause I'm going after a Top Secret clearance and some things I've said are Very Bad Things. Watch for me in a new incarnation once I have access to a computer more often than every two months.)

And also haven't seen any of the second series after the Cybermen, but really I could write crack!fic RPF blindfolded, gagged, and with all my fingers broken.

> US was only 17th,

Yeah, but we're climbing fast on the Country N Fascism charts!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Duck! Fandom's not the same without you, you crackwriter. Sniff. I shall await your return (and thoughts on season two).

Did you get the stuff I sent?
