165: Travel Is Education and Experience

Yesterday afternoon, I had a nurse demonstrate for me how to take something up the ass. Okay, no. What she was actually demonstrating was how to get your partner to give you a shot in the butt ("Go for the meatiest part!" she said cheerfully. I badly wanted to say, "Have you seen my ass? There's no meat shortage there!"), but she bent over in a

Clearly, there is something wrong with those people in that medical office, because there's no way that *anyone* with his or her sense of human still attached could not have cracked up at those lines.

See, that was what I thought. But apparently not - apparently most people don't find it funny at all.

I suspect that this is actually a practice that mostly treats androids, actually. It's the only explanation I can think of.

Noooo kidding. I probably would've stared and turned bright red, and giggled too. *eyes them*

Ha, I was just thinking about trying to write up something about that Dorinda story this morning. It's been a while since I read it, and then china_shop linked to it a few days ago, and it's even better when you read it by itself and take in every word than when you're just gobbling it down in a mad rush. I'd missed some of the subtleties that make it so damn, damn, damn good. But I started trying to explain some of them and the problem is I CAN'T TALK ABOUT DORINDA RATIONALLY BECAUSE SHE IS SO GOOD SHE MAKES ME FREAK OUT. AND ALL THAT WOULD BE LEFT ON THE PAGE WOULD BE A LOT OF CLUMPS OF KEYS THAT HAVE ALL BEEN BANGED AT ONCE. BECAUSE OMG DORINDA.

*pant pant*

I first ran across her when I was crazy for Pros, so, like a year and a half ago? But the fangirling is still as intense and crazed and embarrassing as ever.

The first story I read last Yuletide was, of course, the one written for me, the amazingly awesome Nice Work If You Can Get It. I just about died of joy when I read that, to the point that I would not be surprised if my comment on the story lacks, you know, nouns. And verbs. I was that joyful. And then I read Buried Treasure Racket (because I requested The Sting for the two Yuletides before this one, and I have been wanting to see slash for it since the west was won), and it was likewise amazingly awesome (I had to wait a whole day to leave feedback, because I was again so overcome that any immediate feedback would have lacked most key sentence parts). After those two stories, I had to breathe into a paper bag for a while, because oh my god.

And, yeah, I know what you mean about Dorinda. True story: early in my fan fiction reading, before I knew about LJ or knew anything about the community aspect of FF or had even the vaguest clue, I sent feedback to her on "Confidence Men," the story that pretty much spawned this LJ. (I had to

You should write something up about this story anyway because somebody on you flist doesn't know about Dorinda yet! Share, share!

[joandarck]

Well, I suppose that's possible!

Denver is the fic that made me think, Hmm, maybe there's something to this 'football' thing after all...

*nods nods*

In my case, it was musesfool - she linked me to the Hail Mary clip, and that did it.

*cries a little watching the youtube clip*

*snuffles right along with you*

*totally slashes the captains of opposing teams when they hug and whisper in each other's ears in a manly fashion at the end of a game*

YES. TOTALLY.

No, Methos has no other actual name. He has aliases (?) that he goes by at times, most notably Adam Pierson, but Methos is as much of his real name as we know. It's possible that he doesn't remember his birth name.

What? It's not like I'm a huge Methos fangirl from way back or anything...

[thefourthvine]

Ah-ha. Thank you. I'd wondered if it might not be something like that.

What? It's not like I'm a huge Methos fangirl from way back or anything...

He's, um, quite compelling, isn't he? Based on vids and YT clips, I have come to the conclusion that a) Methos is very interesting and b) if he and Duncan aren't doing it, that totally isn't Methos's fault.

Highlander is one of those fandoms where I have a definite OTP. There are so many scenes in the show that just don't make sense unless Duncan and Methos are doing it. That and the show is 150% more interesting when Methos is on screen.
