More random thoughts, because I'm bored.

rosejailmaiden...dang it, Twitch-chan, why couldn't you be on YIM now? I had Rocketshippy wallpaper to give to you...
Anyway, I've got a bunch on my mind, so I'll just put it under headings so that you'll be able to jump to the parts you wanna read. Though I'd prefer you read the whole thing...
2. Cosplay/EGL elitists
They piss me off. There, I said it. I'm sick of going on cosplay or Gothic Lolita sites and being told something is "too cheap." You all remember the James wig drama from back in October on Cosplay.com... when I posted my prom dress on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
egl, everything was "too cheap"... the lace, the fabric, the ribbon (I'm sorry they didn't make the satin out of organically grown polyester, okay? [sarcasm]) Funny thing is, I was going through my picture files and a dress pic I pulled off Baby The Stars Shine Bright had the EXACT lace on it. Which brings me to the conclusion that unless I buy the fabric/lace off some internet specialty site that sells their stuff for $20 a yard, or, more preferably, blow $200 on it from BTSSB or Meta, it's not Lolita, and unless I blow $30+ on a wig off Cosworx, I'm not cosplaying. Well guess what, you elitists? I have two words: SCREW YOU! People on the web LOVED my James cosplay, and most everyone else LOVED my prom dress. The stuff I bought for my dress was good quality, too... I printed guidelines about not getting cheap stuff off egl and even followed them obsessively when I bought my lace at JoAnn's, and it's pure cotton! But no... "the lace looks too cheap. It might work for cosuloli (read: cosplay and not real Lolita, aka POSER) but nice try" (or something like that). Go to hell. People like you only make life suck more.
5. Cassidy: gold digger?
Me and Twitchy were discussing this last week: that maybe Namba requested Cassidy because of her... unusual measurements... and that Cassidy might have agreed to a sexless marriage with Namba (because of Butch, and, let's face it, the doctor's an old man) so when he died she could get his money. Like Anna Nicole and that oil guy, only without all the drugs. Thoughts? (oh God, I've up and started a shipping again. BAD NEKU! BAD!
Well, look at that. I'm all out of stuff to talk about. That's rare.
So, keep posting your comments and your fic (at R100) and I'll keep posting my thoughts... see you next time, at some Zubat-time, same Zubat-place..
Anyway, I've got a bunch on my mind, so I'll just put it under headings so that you'll be able to jump to the parts you wanna read. Though I'd prefer you read the whole thing...
1. DominoxMondo.
This would be the ONLY Domino pairing I support. Yeah, I used to be a DominoxBashou supporter, but 1) I couldn't come up with a name for it and 2) Bashou more or less owns Buson, so I don't see an emo dude like him around a perky chick like Domino. Plus, it's the only one that doesn't freak me out (for either of them, when I think about it) and they're more or less the same age. Plus, they're just so cute together... kinda like GioxSeb. The way I see it, she ended up being Mondo's mentor, and... well, it just kinda grew from there. I really want to write something about that for R100, but I have no idea what direction to take the story in, or which prompt to use. Because thus far, the majority of the Domino shippy stuff has been Commandshipping. Which, as everyone knows, creeps me out. (I was talking to Aubri on the phone, and we decided it's probably because I cosplay her and as a result, feel a bit of a connection to her. Which explains the immense discomfort I feel when I think of that pairing. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have a problem. I mean, I ship ClairexPeter from Heroes, too, and that's not only May-December, it's also hetcest (uncle/niece)) Oh, and some fanart I did. (that's an ice cream soda they're drinking. Maybe I should do a Grease songfic.)

I like rice. There. I said it. It's been all I've had to live off of for the last few days (since it's one of the few things I can cook without blowing anything up) and it's rather tasty, when you have a big bowl of it.
Oh, and frozen burritos are wonderously tasty when you put some hot sauce on them.

4. Ferrets
I saw this show about them last night on PBS and OMG I want one. It's the next best thing to having my own Kali... (they are weasels ,after all). They run around all cute, steal your stuff, sleep on your head (maybe)... I'm going to get a black one with a white stripe and name it Professor Sebastian and take it to shows so I can share the Sebastian love with the rest of the world. And maybe make it a little lavender labcoat, too.
Except my mom said I couldn't. Because it would piss off the cats.

Date: 2007-07-20 02:17 am (UTC)It always surprises me what some people act all elite-y about. Seriously, Gothic Lolita? Are they KIDDING?! Don't they realize how ridiculous they look/sound acting that way? ^^;
I've been drowning in rice for years. xD;
Oh my goodness! That sounds SO adorable. But I'd be a little worried about black-white ferret. What if it gets mistaken for a skunk?! ^o^;
xDDDD at the Cassidy/Nanba thing.

Date: 2007-07-23 08:49 pm (UTC)The haters of course. I rather like EGL/GL. ^^ It's very pretty.

Date: 2007-07-20 03:41 am (UTC)And about the ferret thing...if you ever get one...DON'T WEAR ANY RINGS. I was in a pet store a few months ago and I was playing with the ferrets cause I, too, thought they were cute. But, I forgot to take off my ring and he wanted it. (His eyes were as wide as dinner plates and he was all like, " OOOH SHINY.") He clamped his little ferret jaws around my ring and started trying to take it off, and I was all like, " No, bitch, that's my ring." He didn't like that I wouldn't let him have it...so...he bit me. But he bit me so hard I couldn't get him off!!! His teeth went through my fingernail and when I finally got him off, I was bleeding all over the pet store. The girls that worked there laughed at me and made me go in the back to watch my hands with antibacterial soap. There were actually holes in my fingernail for weeks.
That's when I decided that I'm definately a dog person.
BTW, Domino/Mondo is so cute.
