A few things

[jlh]

1. For those of you that couldn't see the photo in my last entry here is the link: T00by god of modern rock.

2. If the fandom has decided that it has nothing better to do while it awaits book 5 than rip itself into shreds, I've decided I'm going to let it go. No more peacemaking from this corner. Do not come to me if you've decide to do something you know will get you into trouble but you're going to do it anyway. Do not come to me when you've already caused trouble and need someone to smooth it over. Do not come to me because someone that I know is making trouble for you and you want them to knock it off already. Trying to be the UN of this place has nearly given me an ulcer, and I have plenty of RL stress, thanks.

However, if you just want to wibble, and you're my pal, I'm still your girl. Thanks to Ali and Aja for listening to me wibble about all of this yesterday.

3. I'm really glad I came to that decision yesterday afternoon, because last night? Boy howdy. Because of my new attitude, I actually had some laughs in there someplace, mostly thanks to the usually-horrid fandom wankers. Which is all I'm going to say about that.

4. I can't wait until book 5 because SCUSA is so damn off-topic--I mean, it's ridiculous. Even canon ships are wandering OT. WTF?

And now, back to your regularly scheduled whatever.

I *so* understand where you're coming from with #2!!! Stepping back is the most sensible thing to do! It has saved my sanity!

Remember, kids, point and laugh. It's the best way to deal. It's how we dealt with fermatojam, right? :D

Isn't that illegal? Oh, no, sorry, snuff film.

You know, I'd say I'd do that challenge, but I read Justine (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0802132189/qid=1048876556/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-1824862-8528857) in college and that scene where the guy's wife dies from the painful poison while being suspended naked over the bonfire while they all make a big circle jerk around her sort of turned my stomach.

Hey, I didn't make it either!! And I'm going to be on the slash panel at Nimbus - surely this cretin will show up since it claims to be going!

Allright, now don't you think that's going just a BIT too far, Alex??? My nerves, I leave the country and you start doing squick fic challenges! >:0!!!

Yes, but I only COULD point and laugh when I let go of my feeling of responsibility for everyone getting along. The latest episode, luckily, I did get some enjoyment out of.

*snuggles* You're too good to us, you know that? I'm glad that you managed to let go, hunny.

SING IT SISTER!!!! I am SO with you on that. I can't tell you how many times I've played peacemaker since getting involved in the fandom. Maybe it happened because I'm older, or because it takes quite a bit to get me riled up, but it's a damned draining and thankless job, and I gave up on it a few months ago. Sometimes you just have to take care of you. *hugs*

*hugs* Please do take care of yourself.

It's all any of us can do in the end.
