Vampires, books, and a bit of forum junk
Scientist says vampires can't exist. ( Cut and saved for posterity. )
First thing: Well, DUH. Even for the math--at which I totally suck (no pun intended)--DUH. Second, and even funnier, who ever said that you definitely get turned into a vampire if you get bitten once? And that a vampire bites one person a month? Is there, like, scientific method to back this up? ;D
No, I don't believe in vampires, but this "study" is kind of dumb.
Gosh, my Christmas is coming up and I'm just not feeling it.
Oh, speaking of: Okay, to anyone who is still coming over here from the 30STM board and trying to PM me: Hi. Don't know what you're trying to tell me, because I haven't logged in to read PMs. All I get is a message in my inbox that I've got tons of PMs. I'm sorry; I'm not posting there or logging in. You can comment here or you can email me at the email addy I sent. You can use MySpace, too, but I don't like MySpace (it's messy, counterintuitive and takes forever to load,) but at least I'll know who you are. ^_^ To the people getting on my case: Sorry, that's just how I'm built. I totally understand deleting threads that are mean and dangerous--like when that inbred rodent Diane was posting that the singer was a pedophile because he dated a 19 year old--and I understand deleting threads that go, "LALALALAAA" like the one inbred rodent Diane started under one of her many sockpuppets, because it wastes space. Strangely, though, that LALALALA one didn't get deleted. But to delete threads that even slightly criticize an aspect of a performance without even criticising the performance itself, well ... I've had enough of 14 year old fanfic writers. ;D I know a handful of you understand that. I have peeked back in there to see if any of those threads have been deleted. Surprisingly, they weren't. What was funny, though, was that one chick (Lily 17?) who actually BUMPED the thread, saying, "I'm bumping this useless thread!" and then told ME to stop posting in it, when, uhh, that first post I made in it was, in fact, the last one. *cackles* Moron. Also, there's a lot more going on on that board that I guess I didn't like to admit, but I'm really feeling it now. There's a lot of racism and sexism masked as humor over there. There were a lot of comments about women in general that I tried to brush off, but really irked me. (Okay, this is coming from ME, someone whose newest fun threat to make to her work pals is, "I'm going to punch you right in the vagina, I swear!" I'm not being hypocritical; I think that's a hilarious thing to tell someone if they have the same humor. But the stuff on that board sometimes makes "punch you in the vagina" look tame.) There's a contingent of really hateful people who make threads that cheer things like "blowing up Iraqis" or whatever the hell. Yeah, none of that stuff gets censored, but a comment about how the band looked silly surrounded by cheesy dancers does. Uhh, right. Do you smell what I'm stepping in?
Enough of that now.
Well, tomorrow Kim is coming over and I'm thinking we're going to have a nice, lovely, HUGE salad and tons of fruit afterwards. Not to say that I didn't thoroughly enjoy last week's ice cream and raw cookie dough stuff, but the next day I felt all achey and slow. Plus, both yesterday and today I had huge slabs of Michelle's chocolate cake with fudge center and dark chocolate icing with chocolate sprinkles. yeah. ^_^ Oh, and I backed up all my important stuff onto that new HD she gave me, too.
Oh, so I've been reading Peter Pan In Scarlet and I'm sorry to say that I'm sorely disappointed. I don't think that Peter Pan required a sequel, but I still did have really high hopes for it. It's not delivering. The writing is twee where JM Barrie seemed sincere. The ideas don't seem to fit in with the original Peter Pan; everything seems too deliberate. It's light where it should be sinister, and jaded where it should be innocent. I so very much prefer the Hook at Eton series and I cannot freaking wait until the next one comes out next fall. I just might have to read that part one again, to better banish PPIS from my mind. That would be after I finish the rest of what's on my reading list, which is, at the moment, kind of extensive.
Now for the weather: Holy crap, it is COLD.
