Well, I went down to my ex-job to turn in my ID badge, key, etc. today. Had a good talk with my boss- she's a pretty stellar lady. Talking to her about my strengths and whatnot, I'm thinking I should really try for something closer to my field this time. I thought if I could just get some kind of office job, I could stick it out and gain the experience which I could put towards getting a job that actually interests me... but I think I'll just end up making myself miserable before being cut loose again. It seems a little "running before I can walk," but I think it's worth a shot. We'll see.

Anyway, on with the meme!

Okay, here's this: Defensive Strategies by m_butterfly. It's the first slash fic I read that really brought me around on the whole idea, way back when I used to watch House. I can remember in the early days being all "eww slash!" but thank goodness this fic came along to show me how much fun it can be. Here's my review from where it's posted on ff.net, I think it says it all: "Wow. I don't go in for slash all that much, but this is truly fantastic. Funny, insightful, sweet- if the show ever decided to just go for it, this is how I'd want House and Wilson to get together. Thanks for a great fic!"

And now I am off! Gonna go see Taking Woodstock before I miss my chance.

Sex. Especially menstruation because I love freaking boys out about it. I cackle and everything, they're such babies.

I'm sorry. But you never do know....

I love how he's all apologetic now. But no matter! I had fic in my mind!

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Hee, sounds like fun.

Hmph. Maybe I'll try again next time.

Well, good luck with him. Maybe he'll normal off. And until then, fortify yourself with entertaining fic!

It really is. They can talk about masturbation all they like, I have no shame. We also discussed everyone's gay crush so that was fun ;)

*sigh* I want to answer another one but...I don't know. I like kink memes in that I write things that I would normally be a little embarrassed to write, but I do like getting the credit. AT times.

Maybe. But I can't depend on him. It's pointless to even think I can. Fic makes everything better.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, like there's any mystery left in male masturbation. Any prevailing trends in the gay crushes?

To be perfectly honest, quite a few of the prompts on there are.. pretty far outside my comfort zone, even anon. Anyway, I've done my part.

Well, at least you know that much. Agreed.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

The girls were a lot more willing to admit them (mine was Gina Torres); we got a couple of George Clooneys and Robert Downey Jr.

*laughs* Kink memes always remind me of just how narrow minded a fan I am. I have no interest in just about all of those pairings and especially no interest in some of the situations.

I do. I just wish I could. But we got a new guy who knows some of the programing stuff that'll be helpful and he's a junior so at least he'll be around when I leave. Mmm, I kind of feel like writing something now but all I've got on the front burner is depressing.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Mm, Gina Torres, good choice. I think as a guy it would be hard to go wrong with George Clooney for your gay crush.

Yeah, it's really kind of depressing how little I care about all the other pairings in comparison to how much I care about Plaude. I think the less said about some of the kinks they've come up with, the better.

Well that's good news, I hope he works out for you. Stip foosball please!

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Especially as Zoe. Just her outfits alone...mmm, yeah. Yeah, but he's kind of boring; I liked the option of Robert Downey Jr. better.

That's exactly it! Like, I can muster a little bit of "Hm, interesting" at Matt/Mohinder and Matt/Peter sometimes and there, basically, ends my interest in anything that is not Plaude. I like the idea of Claude/Bennet/(and/or Sandra) but in the end...not as much.

He seemed nice enough. Hah. Strip foosball...I'll admit I'm not in a porny mood, but we'll see.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

She's just stunning all around, I'd say. That mouth- my goodness! Well, I figure if you're just trying to come up with an answer, it's hard to argue with George Clooney.

Agreed. Maybe I'm a little more intrigued by Matt/Mohinder, but that's about it. Adam/Hiro too has an epic tragedy to it that I kind of like.

Yay! Aw well, maybe another time. Oh! How about Wendy fangirling painter!Claude?

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

She really is, but there's this red vest thing she wears that I just adore. Plus she's good with guns. I suppose George Clooney is pretty good, but one of the guys who said it really committed to it, to the point of "That voice, in bed..."

Oh! Oh! You know which one I like? Adam/Claude. It's a guilty pleasure. But I would like to read it.

Heh. Maybe. I actually was toying with something.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Ha! Wow, clearly that guy had put some thought into what sleeping with George Clooney would be like. I can't say I quite agree- he's got an okay voice, but not exactly what I'd want to hear in bed.

The snark would be epic, for sure.

Yay!

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I know, right? But seriously, if we were going by voice alone...not George Clooney.

I know, they'd hate each other, and Adam can keep up with Claude on the snark so much better than Peter can. But it'd definitely be a quick, Company-era fling, because Claude deserves happiness and cuddliness.

*laughs* I don't know how it'll go. I need to get into Wendy's head a little and I haven't done that in a while.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

There are many better choices.

Aw, Peter tries! He was distracted with the whole exploding thing. But yeah, early on, I could see Claude being slightly dazzled by the 400-year-old sophisticate living in the basement.

You can do it, I'm sure.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

He has a kind of charm but I find him smarmy.

He does try, and he's gotten plenty of practice with Nathan; he's not quite as able but...he's still sweet and does his best. Mmm, young!Claude and Adam...I have suggestions of it in the bigboom fic.

I will do my best. For all three people who will understand the context.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Aw, I don't think he's smarmy.. unless he's supposed to be. But whatev'.

I think once things have calmed down a bit, he could manage some fun snark. Oh boy!

XD We three would greatly appreciate it.

Someday I will stay up later than you. But until that day, good night!

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I think the times I've liked him the most was when Jon Stewart interviewed him. They've got good chemistry.

I think spending time would Claude would make him pick up snark pretty quickly. Adam is such an ass in it, I love him.

I hope so ;)

Bah, don't. It just screws with your sleep schedule.
