Sign that Maybe You've Been Acting a Little Bit Obsessed...

When just about everyone who knows you both via work and socially asks, "So, I guess you're going kayaking this weekend, hunh?" It probably means you've been doing the equivalent of a 6-year-old's I-need-to-pee-pee dance in anticipation of that first boat plop into the water.

And for the record, yes, I plan to go kayaking on Sunday. The whether is going to be in the 80s and I'm going to be taking advantage.

(Oh my God, the 80s, in April, in New England! That shit's just wrong!)

And yes, I did buy my season kayaking rental pass as soon as I heard about the fabulousness of the weather this weekend.

*hangs head in shame*

I am weak like veal. Weak, I tell you. On the upside, I paid cash for it.

It probably helps that I'm in a fabulous mood right now. I've been killing patients all week. Okay, I've been putting 12-hour days all week in the name of good writing so I can kill the patients in a medically accurate way, but you know what?

I've been killing patients all week because it's part of my fabu writing job!

And I don't have to put up any warning about it at all! (Beware! OC death!)

In fact, I can be all, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Little does Marge know, she's got a BIG UGLY FATAL DISEASE lurking in her immediate future and she's gonna DIE, DIE, DIE! Because I (and the client) DECLARE IT SO!" And no one can complain that I didn't warn them!

There are days I really, really love my job.

Because I'm evil like that.

You're like a female Davan, aren't you?

Not only are you evil, you're going kayaking. :) I'd say that's win.

Indeed. It's total win!

*giggles at you* OMG, WARNING death is triggery!

Also: *envious* Not about the kayaking, though. ^_^

You're not kidding.

I've been seeing a growing number of rants on comms and in some corners of LJ where people are yelling about the lack of warning for character deaths.

Yet, in the past two weeks alone I've come across more BtVS slash stories where the writers a failboating on the warnings for rape and non-con. I mean, serious FAIL! Yet no one is bitching about that.

(My brain-bleach moment of the week? A story where Ethan digitally rapes a drugged out, completely unaware 16-year-old Xander and it's played as sexy funteims nao. GAH! Ethan/Xander can be twisted-dirty-bad-wrong in a good way, but this...AND NO WARNING!)

I have no idea why I'm running across the rape and noncon stuff in a spate of slash stories late and none in the het stuff. It's...it's...GAH! What the hell is going on in BtVS fandom lately?

Sorry. Felt the need to rant that off my chest. I was set off by the Ethan/Xander thing I just read.

This would be why I don't read BtVS except for a very few writers. (You being one of them.)
