on fanning & friends

[xparrot]

The last week was pretty spectacular - gnine was here, because naye and friendshipper were also coming to town, and we gathered together for several days of wild fangirling and squee and general hijinx. So much fun, I can't even say! (Even if skuldchan sadly couldn't make it, so we missed the opportunity to tease her and naye about being overly adorable)(okay, we got in a little teasing anyway, because seriously, adooooorable! XD) (And friendshipper's husband happened to hit it off with my bro; they spent most of the time jabbering in computer-geek lingo at least as incomprehensible as our fangirling and playing Go.) So yes, definitely have to do it again sometime!!

There was White Collar squee, and Highlander DVD extras (multiple takes of the Comes a Horseman car confrontation are all the more interesting when gnine & I still have the original scene memorized. Eheheh.) We also inflicted a bit of Gintama on friendshipper (she laughed! Though we didn't get to either the drama or the real crack...next time!) And she in turn subjected us to Sanctuary: The Tesla Edition (on the one hand, omg such a bad show; the writing makes SGA look like...well, not Shakespeare, but Star Trek, at least? OTOH, Tesla is indeed made of snarky swishy vampiric awesome. Plus Amanda Tapping! And Chris Heyerdahl! And Peter Wingfield!! I would so be watching the show anyway if it were all about them and less about pretty young people who can't act.)

Now I have to settle back into regular life. ...And catch up on the last Homestuck update. (in which OMG ROSE! DAVE!!! I knew it would go down like that, I just knew it, and I even vaguely wondered if that was the deal with Rose and the yarn ball on this page - but still. OW NOOOOO ROOOOOOSE!!! ...Who is still alive. WTFWTFWTF IS GOING ON NEED MOOOOORE! But Dave, not telling Jade the future to avoid dooming her to an off-alpha timeline. And being so pissed with Rose for going and he says it's just about the triteness but it really isn't at all. Ow and aww. Also Davesprite and Jadesprite are kind of perfect for each other? Also also John & Vriska are, umm, way too cute for their own good. With the jacket-sharing and the not-a-date nervousness and really, Vriska doesn't deserve anyone as sweet as John but she knows it, so. (And maybe they can stay together, both, uh, being dead and all?)(It occurs to me that one of the reasons the HS pairings work for me is because they're based more on emotional and intellectual connections than physical attraction, especially given that a lot of chars have barely or never met in person...)

THAT'S what Karkat's thing about the yellow lawnring was about!

...well, except I don't remember when AH said that thing about the yard? ^^; Or the book in the castle (I was careful to read 'em all but couldn't hardly remember everything ^^;) But. Yes. The yard (a yellow yardstick???)...

...I am going to have to go back and reread this thing when it's done; maybe it will make sense then!!

AH's stuff about the yard can be found here, but I don't blame you if you didn't notice, because it's in the interlude with the headache inducing SBAHJ style. XD

It implies a yardstick, but technically it could just as well be "an unwatered piece of residential property" as Karkat puts it.

To be honest, I succumbed to temptation and have read the whole thing twice. ^^; I... lose?

Ahahah I am so tempted to reread it. Have been distracting myself with other things, but...I just know it will make so much more sense, and there's so much more I'll get, and ahhh, tempted~!
