December 17th, 2009
I was chatting with Deni on IM earlier today, and realized that I'm just...well, frustrated with my life right now. With the fact that I dont' really have anything to my name but my car and my computer. My job is not making me as happy as it did a just a couple of years ago, and I'm...well,..I'm lonely. It's been two years since my lest sexual encounter, Bob, and that wasnt' all it was cracked up to be. So I jokingly said I should put myself on Craig's List, see if I get any hits. LOL. She laughed and asked me what I'd say.
Off the top of my here, ( here is my Craig's List Ad, if I actually had one. )

having a student, I'll call her Ms. E, who's not exactly OUT with her bisexuality, just lay it out there to me that she's dating another girl, Ms. S, in one of my classes. Like she knew I'd have no problem with it.
I like that E felt comfortable enough with me to talk about that. And when S asked if she'd told me and E said she had, S, tensed up for a while, and looked at me like I was judging her. I just said, "What?" and S said, "Nothing," but kept looking like I was going to bite her head off or judge her or something, but when she saw that I didn't give a rat's ass about their relationship and was so NOT being judgemental about it, she totally relaxed and started smiling again. There was even a sort of 'Thank you for not being a bitch about this' sort of look on her face.
I just...
Well. First, I think it's ridiculous that 16 and 17 year old kids are so SURE they know EXACTLY who and what they are at so young an age, but that's beside the point. What bugs me is that S had a reason to be nervous about my knowing about her lesbianism or bisexuality in the first place! That just frosts my cookies, you know. Like she expected me to be hateful about her choice of lovers? Bah. I hate that she's had the experience which makes her expect that kind of treatment. I really, really do.
Maybe it gives the students the wrong idea about me, that because I'm absolutely fine with people being homosexual, that I must be as well. I've been asked if I was. By my students, by guys who try to pick me up in bars, by people I've worked with over the course of my adult life. I'm not, but my attitudes about sex and relationships aren't strictly heternormative, nor are they gender normative. So people get the wrong idea about me.
but it was really fuckin' cool that both of these girls felt comfortable being themselves around me.

Title: Things I Love About You
Author: clydefrogjones
Based On: CSI:NY
Pairing: Adam Ross/Don Flack
Rating: FRM/FRAO
Disclaimer: Nothing was made from this, CBS owns all the characters that are used.

Summary: Don never really paid much attention to the lab rat. Adam never really cared for that cocky detective. One afternoon brings the two together..... Original character, and the rest of the NY cast. Maybe a cross-over in future chapters....

About This Chapter: ”Let's stay in today...” (As you can tell, more fluff in this chap.)

Hey,
I'm looking for some fic where Spike gets the Shanshu but doesn't want it and tries to get Angel to turn him again. Preferably Spuffy.
Thanks. :) :)

Greetings, meatbags certain parts of the Knights of the Old Republic fandom!
I noticed you like to make your Player Characters light-sided. That's great, so do I! I also noticed that you like to make your light-sided PCs the biggest Mary Sues ever conceived. That's not so great.
Now, granted, it's not as if this doesn't have canonical support. Playing the game and choosing all the good options will turn your character into the biggest Mary Sue ever conceived. The kind you'd expect grow a halo and be announced by a spontaneously generated chorus of angels. The kind that would be able to circumnavigate Manaan on foot.
But just because I play as one doesn't mean I want to read about one.
There's a reason Inferno is more popular than Paradiso, and that's because unambiguously good characters are boring. I like a good light-sided PC, but it's more interesting to see someone struggle a little for it. And not just, "Oh, I nearly went into a righteous rage at the slavers on Kashyyyk! Woe is me!" I mean actual, honest-to-god flaws that aren't "cares too much about people". (Not that this couldn't potentially be an interesting flaw and a good reason to fall to the Dark Side if explored well, but most of the time it's just shorthand for, "Look at how compassionate my character is! Isn't he/she awesome?")
Also, you now what I'd really like to see?
( Oh hi there, huge spoiler for the first game! You know the one. )
Of course, no one is obligated to write what I want. (Otherwise the world would contain more T3-M4/HK-47*.) I realize that people are allowed to see their PC as they like — that's kind of the point of having customizable PCs. But I think it would make a much more compelling character than Mr/Ms Perfect, wouldn't it? The games do encourage you to either become the second coming of Christ or grow a goatee and kick puppies. But good gameplay choices don't always make interesting characters.
Bonus Star Wars Rant: You know, when you absolutely need an Imperial who would believably rape your OC** for the lulz, Grand Admiral Thrawn is probably not the best choice.
*T3 tops.
**At least, I'm assuming it's an OC. With the EU, it can be hard to tell.
