my concentration's ill at ease.

[semisweet]

blah, i hate that i hauled ass home and to the computer to listen to dfc's radio interview and it was, like, five minutes and boring. fail! and is it really so hard for people to understand why a scottie dog would be named dublin that he had to explain that it was a joke? dumb (tm ryan ross).

apparently i am either delusional or just a horrible bitch for being happy that dfc and caldwell broke up. eh. as i said the other day, i'm sorry if he's hurting. i would never wish unhappiness on him, and i mean that. that being said, i disliked her way before i ever knew he existed. i make no apologies. *shrug* not to mention that, like...idk. people complain about the misogyny of the girlfriend-'haters,' but isn't assuming that they just dislike her because they're catty and jealous its own sort of misogyny? i mean, hell, i don't like michael johns, either, and i'm pretty sure he has a dick. meh. whatevs. over it!

it's snowing again. ugh.

jester almost got out today. well, i don't know if he would've actually gone out, but he was popping his head out of the door and i fucking tackled him, which resulted in my hitting my knee on the ground and also my scaring the shit out of him, which made him flail around and scratch my finger in his haste to run and hide under the bed. not fun for anyone.

i downloaded this iphone app which lets me tell my tivo things to record! *girl boner* i also downloaded this which is adorable but also pretty much pointless and dumb, from what i can tell.

i started watching angel! i love it a lot. angel's lack of people skills crack me the fuck up, and i am predictably in love with doyle. i have, like, one more ep of angel to watch to get me in line with buffy, and then i'm going to start alternating. fun times! \o/ but omg, the ways they totally ignore and skirt around the sunlight issue DRIVE ME NUTS. like, angel and doyle show up at cordy's apartment in the middle of the fucking day, and then doyle starts closing her curtains so angel doesn't go up in flames? WHAT ABOUT WHEN HE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE? omg. but really, it's worth it for scenes (on buffy) like the one in my icon, which i thought was just beautiful.

ok, that is all. :D

I'll ignore that MJ comment, cause I love you so ;D

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

lolllllll, ilu2! i don't epically hate him or anything, something about him just works my nerves. he was just the most relevant example that came to mind. :P

[spifftronica.livejournal.com]

ilu3!!

It's all good. MORE FOR ME!

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

\o/ YAY ANGEL!!! That show was just so fantastic.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i'm absolutely loving it so far! ♥

[wannabonefatone.livejournal.com]

Yay for alternating Angel/Buffy.

OK, they may not go into this until later but if I remember correctly, Angel travels via the drainage system. It HAS been a while. I need to have a marathon.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yeah, he has a little trapdoor in his place and all, so i get it to a point, but i mean, he was standing outside cordy's door when he arrived, so...idk!

[wannabonefatone.livejournal.com]

Oh ok. I probably just went "hmmm" and looked away so as not to question Joss and incur his wrath. lol.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

ultimately i don't really CARE that much, but i keep noticing it and it's distracting. or like, there'll be scenes in the office with obvious sunlight coming through the windows, but then angel goes outside and it's dark? lol.

[wannabonefatone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. I'm a dork because what bothers me the most is actually not Buffy/Angel, but Supernatural. They kill vamps in a totally different way and the bodies don't ash. And yes, the mythology is different for every writer and I'm ok with that. But dammit, Buffy can never come on SPN and have a torrid affair with Dean now.

i need to find a hobby.

[dizzysyd.livejournal.com]

Aaaahh! Your icon!! =D

(I love Willow beyond words!)

[wannabonefatone.livejournal.com]

INORITE? Willow is greatness. I loved watching her grow throughout the series. And Willow/OZ=happy sigh

[forcedmovement.livejournal.com]

MY FAVORITE "wtf Angel" moment comes from S1 Buffy, when he's like "I CAN'T RESUSCITATE HER XANDER! *pant pant* YOU'lL HAVE TO DO IT! *pant pant* I HAVE NO BREATH!" Orly David? But I mock because I love!

And really, as someone who is heavily pro-girlfriend in most cases, it is entirely stupid that you aren't allowed to dislike someone as a person without getting called misogynist. It's only girlfriend-hating if you hate a girl because she's dating someone you love. *eye roll* People are dumb, but you are not, because you are fabulous. ♥

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

ahahaha YES! i remember being amused by that at the time, but i'd totally forgotten about it until now. riotous. <3

i am generally pro-girlfriend as well. and i mean, tbh, i thought ashlee was a total waste of space before she and pete got together, and now i absolutely adore her. i just...don't like kim caldwell. and not for any sort of "she's a slut! she's a whore! she got between me and my loooooove!!111!" reasons. *shrug* whatevs!

and YOU are fabulous, bb! <3

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

aw Doyle ♥

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

he is so adorable!!!

[jkpolk.livejournal.com]

I loved him so. I also liked the actor on Roseanne. Alas, poor dude. :(

I just cannot listen to radio interviews of any idols anymore. I just cannot. I swear that they are completely useless and inane and are so rarely interesting that I don't even try unless I see discussion that something interesting/cute/earthshattering happened.

apparently i am either delusional or just a horrible bitch for being happy that dfc and caldwell broke up. eh. as i said the other day, i'm sorry if he's hurting. i would never wish unhappiness on him, and i mean that. that being said, i disliked her way before i ever knew he existed. i make no apologies. *shrug* not to mention that, like...idk. people complain about the misogyny of the girlfriend-'haters,' but isn't assuming that they just dislike her because they're catty and jealous its own sort of misogyny? i mean, hell, i don't like michael johns, either, and i'm pretty sure he has a dick. meh. whatevs. over it!
I think I fall somewhere down the middle on this whole debate. I feel a little bit weird about celebrating the "tragedies" of another person (other people?) and I don't particularly wish misery on another person (whether or not I'm a fan of theirs) but at the same time, I haaaate the argument that someone is "an adult" and is "capable of making the best decisions for themself" because I am roughly the age of dfc himself and I can think of a number of times that other people saw things that I didn't about me. (Not being able to see the forest for the trees, yadda, etc.) I think the misogyny more occurs in the "skank, whore, etc." comments that are used to refer to the girl than the excitement over the demise of a relationship, and those comments were being made by people before they broke up. And I know that I can think of a specific example of an idol that I liked was involved with a female that I had heard some not such hot things about and I was pretty happy when I heard that they were no longer involved, not because I was jealous of her or because I was assuming things about her based on her looks or the way she carried herself, but because I had heard trustworthy information about who she was as a person that I did not like. (woah. rantramble. If you got through all that and understood it, you are a very patient certified genius.)

Not gonna lie, I'm totally downloading iHusky now! XD

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i really thought this one might've been good, because it was with a dude in kansas city who knows him a little bit, and they were taking fan questions, and i was hoping maybe there'd be some info about the tour...but it was nothing but rehash, for the most part. boo.

i just...idk. i didn't like kim on idol and she's never done anything to make me think that she's any way other than how i thought she was (if that makes sense). and not in any kind of slut or whore way, because i actually couldn't care less who/how many people she's slept with and even if it's 5000000, i don't judge. *shrug* i just always found her personality off-putting and i never trusted her motives when it came to dc. and it's entirely possible that i'm wrong, and that she's lovely and had only the best intentions. either way, i think i have the right to be glad i don't have to hear about her anymore. it's just like when a friend has a boyfriend you can't stand - if they break up, you're obviously sorry for her and you're sympathetic and all, but there's also a part of you (or there is with me, anyway) going 'oh, thank god, now i don't have to be nice to him and she'll find someone better.' *moar shrugs!*

well, exactly. most people make mistakes when they're young. i don't think it's a putdown of someone i don't know to assume they're not capable of perfect judgment all the time- i don't give myself or people i DO know that kind of credit!

i don't know these people, so it's infinitely possible i could be wrong about one or both of them. the flip side of that is that they don't know ME, so i don't feel my thoughts can be hurtful or unkind or disloyal in the way they might be if we existed in one another's reality. it's all very harmless, this speculation.

[sparkysgirl.livejournal.com]

as i said the other day, i'm sorry if he's hurting. i would never wish unhappiness on him

So did you have this realization before or AFTER you were doing happy dances about the breakup? And posting champagne toast pics?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

well, seeing as how i posted that i would never wish unhappiness on him BEFORE i posted the champagne toast picture, i would guess that the answer is clearly "before."

duh.

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

someone's panties sure are in a bunch!

[themightybee.livejournal.com]

someone's bitch pants are a little too tight. settle down, your muffin top is showing.

[(Anonymous)]

I tend to do that when people start stuff they can't own up to. silly me. *shrug*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

banning you wasn't very effective, eh? lol.

[themightybee.livejournal.com]

I hope we're not this desperate to get the last word in when we're 30.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

well, since we're not at 27 and 24, i feel good about our chances. XD

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

how exactly is she not "owning up"? someone should buy you a dictionary and/or a thesaurus for your birthday!

[themightybee.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with cats who try to escape ONLY during shit weather.

LMAO at people getting butthurt over a celebrity break-up. How many of them gave a shit about the girl before she started dating dfc? I'm guessing not many.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

it was scott's fault (of course!). he didn't close the door properly when he went to take out the trash. i'm not even 100% sure that jester would've gone for it, but he poked his head out and i about had a heart attack. /o\

idek what the deal is with the caldwell defenders. or maybe the argument is that i'm a douche because i'm not taking his feelings into consideration. either way, i'm still happy she's gone. so there. *fist pump*

[rhymeswithpork.livejournal.com]

I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE IT/I AM SO HAPPY. I'm doing a Buffy rewatch with my friend but it's going sooooo slowly. We JUST started season 2.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

it's SO good and cute and funny and just...love! \o/ plus i love the theme music, unlike on buffy.

[bentalnicole.livejournal.com]

tracy, ilu! ♥

my cat does the same thing. he always bolts for the door, and i run after him screaming, and it's just horrible. ahaha.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

oh hay ilu2! ♥

that's the first time i've ever really feared for him getting out. it scared the shit out of me! :(

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

For the record, it's not misogynistic to dislike Kimberly Caldwell. It is misogynistic to--as the vast majority her haters do--justify one's dislike of her by using any variation upon slut, skank, whore, etc. 'Cause guess what? Men aren't reduced to their sexual conduct as a means of tearing them down. Women are. (This also applies to critiques of her appearance.)

I'd say "Ding dong the witch is dead" wasn't quite in that same category, but there was a glee to it that was fairly disturbing all the same.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i'm sorry if you found my glee disturbing. next time i'll try to keep my opinion somewhere more appropriate, like my personal journal.

oh, wait.

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure i've said it lately, but i ♥ you. truly.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee! i ♥ you too, doll.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Whether or not you had the right to say it in your own journal wasn't the question for debate; stylish attempt at a red herring, though. What was up for debate was the content itself. Since we're here, though, gosh, ain't it funny when you post something reactionary in a public forum and people react to you.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

eh, i don't consider the content up for debate. i gave my opinion and i stand by it, but otherwise i've moved on.

mostly i don't particularly understand why my opinion on two people that i don't know would motivate a third person who also doesn't know them (or, for that matter, know me) to come out of the woodwork to wag a finger at me. but hey, "live and let live" is the saying, right? i'm not hiding my opinion just because it might bother someone. react to your little heart's content. as my bb gabe saporta would say, i can dish it 'cause i know how to take it.

yep, i quoted cobra starship. this discussion is srs bzns, clearly.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

*flaps hands* Buffy Buffy BUFFY! Angel Angel ANGEL! Doooooyle <3

Ohhh, that scene in your icon is so breathtaking ♥___♥ What episode is it in?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

heeeee!

um. i don't remember. it's in season 3? *useless*

eta: googled! it's 3.07. "revelations."

[lilychick.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've always kind of had trouble figuring out how anyone can go *without* an intense dislike of Kim Caldwell if they've ever had to sit through a TV Guide Channel Idol show. Maybe that's just me. I didn't watch S2, so that's where my *entire* opinion of her comes from, DFC or no. :-D

Doyle! ♥ I loved him so much. Awww.

Once he gets halfway-interesting (as I don't know what ep you're up to now), please share your thoughts on Lindsey. 'Cause he is a character that I love with an amazing intensity, and since you've no patience for Faith's dramallama I'm wondering if it'll be a similar deal. (*grin*) V. curious.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

lol, srsly, i feel perfectly justified in my caldwell-dislike. i remember reading an interview in which she said that none of the girls at her high school liked her because they were all jealous. charming!

i don't mind dramallamas in general - i'm just really pissed at faith for trying to turn angel evil again. >:( lindsey hasn't even shown up yet but i'll let you know!

[tiggz.livejournal.com]

Lindsey remains my favorite character to come out of Angel. such a wonderfully grey character!

you have seen him, though, tracy! he was in the pilot as a lawyer working for Russell Winters. he's the one who handed Angel the business card when he came into the boardroom and Angel threw Russell out the window. he also has a season one ep dedicated to him. it's the next to the last ep of the season.

[citibyrd.livejournal.com]

YAY, it's good you're going to alternate Buffy & Angel episodes. A friend of mine forced me to, and I'm so glad she did. :D

[lillijulianne.livejournal.com]

people complain about the misogyny of the girlfriend-'haters,' but isn't assuming that they just dislike her because they're catty and jealous its own sort of misogyny?

many of the people complaining about the misogyny of caldwell haters are the worst kind of misogynists, the ones who think the only women who deserve any respect are the "hot" chicks. i do think that fans who hate ANY partner of ANY musician/actor they like, however nice and devoted and longterm, have issues, but that's not the majority, and not you at all.

as buffista as i became, i never did watch angel. i think i'm saving it for someday.
