Dear Self,
Just because some of your friends are not the most overtly friendly, welcoming, affectionate people does not mean they secretly hate you or like all their other friends more than you. Some people are just not very outwardly affectionate. They would in fact tell you if they didn't like you. Deal with it, live with it, because this is the source of many of your problems lately.
Thanks,
Me
And now for everybody else - a meme! I didn't post the first version of this that went around last year, so I feel like I should this time. Answers to number six will probably be kind of sad, though, because I am lame and can never remember interesting animals.
Comment and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.

6. ... ahahahaha YES.
7. I do like yaoi. Or, well, actually I'm very much an equal opportunity person: I'm open to most ships, het or yaoi, as long as it doesn't squick me. Animals are no-nos. Incest, I'm negotiable on - I have a few guilty loves (cough, Harry Potter!Blackcest), but things like Laguna/Squall will just have me FLEEING FOR THE HILLS as soon as possible. *cries*
And no matter if it's het or yaoi, some reasoning behind the ship is, y'know, appreciated. :> I'm so tired of the yaoi fangirls bashing down every other ship because it messes with their boylovin'. Augh the Kingdom Hearts fandom.
Although men are very pretty together, yaoi for me doesn't immediately constitute greatness - people going "AWWMYGAWSH they're two boys kissing awmygash it's FANTASTIC it's WONDERFUL let's squee wildly and uncontrollably because it must be brilliant!" will freak me out almost as much as homophobes will.
And that ended up not-so-much as my simply answering whether I liked yaoi or not, and became a ramble about fandom in general. XD Oh dear.
BUT. MY FAVOURITE COLOUR IS BLUE. I CAN SAY THAT DEFINITELY.

Date: 2006-08-15 02:08 am (UTC)From:7) I personally started out in a couple of really yaoi-dominant fandoms, where all the interesting pairings and fic were the yaoi ones, so I haven't quite shaken that, but I've started to be involved in more fandoms where the het is actually the better stuff, and the female characters kick ass, so I'm beginging to find a happy balance. I _am_ all about the justification, too - one well-written fic can change my whole point of view on a pairing. And yeah, hating on other ships because they get in the way of your prefered one is always dumb - and the KH fans need to learn that Kairi/Riku/Sora = OT3, and practically canon at that. I tend to treat incest stuff much the same as most other pairings - ship a few (Dante/Vergil = fucked up demonic twincest love), but that's about it. And long answers are good, because yay discussion XD;
And apparently I am psychic or something.
