→ Been thinking about cutting my hair for a while so yesterday when barefoot_chick and myself went out a bit we decided to make an impromptu visit to the salon. She encouraged me, yay for her! Anyway, my hair's been longer than it's ever been recently, and I only got a little trim and some much needed layering, but but it's nice to have some shape again. Growing it out so long without a cut really did a number on it. I'm happy.

→ First, I realize there are many people who know how to not act like assholes and who know how to treat people respectfully, and did so. But for everyone else?

Dear unnamed group of entitled whiny fans who think they are in charge of shit they are not in charge of,

I don't know what your problem is, but deal with it. Sometimes, a simple question and answer session will do. Instead, you attack like a rabid, one-eyed, mangy, donkey. I don't know what that means but I do know that I hope you all get spontaneous dental hydroplosion. You're sucking the fun out of all life forms around you.

Please die, we hate you,
Everyone else in the entire world.

→ Yesterday, I watched Footloose for the first time in forever. Holy crap, I love the pants off of that movie! So good! Just, it keeps getting better. And I can totally sing along with every song. (I should be embarrassed! But I'm so totally not!) Best. movie. ever. I can't even pick my favorite thing. The chicken race (with tractors!), Ren teaching Willard to dance (okay, it's kind of slashy), Woody holding down those douchebags in the phone booth? The adorableness of mini!Sarah Jessica Parker... or, every other scene?

→ I started to type this whole long thing about Stargate Atlantis season three up to where I've seen it. But I think it all just comes down to how much it rocks. I'm liking it a lot. And in summation? Non-spoilery gratuitous quoting: My turtles! I just bought some wee baby turtles and no one knows to feed them!! &hearts! Carson! Too cute!

Hee, me loves the icon. So pretty (as is your header, but I've always thought so!)

Also precisely what fandom is in question here?

[airings.livejournal.com]

I used to have a domain called foot-loose.org, that's how much I love that movie <3

[crickets.livejournal.com]

SPN being wanky again. I'm not in it anymore but I keep hearing stuff and have been linked to the latest wank, which is just too dumb for words. Even the word turd. They're like the high school clique, the angry mob, and the paparazzi all at once. Only worse.

And look! Another icon!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's so fabulous!

[slybrunette.livejournal.com]

Lovely. Wtf with that fandom, seriously. Makes me glad I'm just a casual viewer.

ETA: And yeah, I have 3 at the moment.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Okay I swear I will stop pointing it out every time you use one. LOL.

(Though you must know, it pleases me!)

[slybrunette.livejournal.com]

lol, it's fine, I don't mind, and I knew it would. You have another convert on your hands.

Dear unnamed group of entitled whiny fans who think they are in charge of shit they are not in charge of,

I demand to know the story behind this!

[nyoka.livejournal.com]

Oh, FOOTLOOSE is my ultimate 80s movie love. I never grow tired of watching it. ♥

Wait, the SPN fandom is not the entire world? Say it ain't so!

[browncoatjack.livejournal.com]

Your mention of SGA has inspired me to use this icon. Just 'cause. :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Basically somebody was going to print a book of gen fanfic in the SPN fandom to send to the show. According to my sources (all two of them) and a bit of reading, it was only going to be done with permission of the authors. But the wording was a little hazy so they attacked the poor person in droves (like flesh-eating zombies)! Which is not only totally unfair, it's unnecessary and stupid. Get some clarification first, and then eat people alive. Isn't that standard protocol?

I know a lot of people are just upset that they are thinking of sending fanfic to the show, which causes issues because of the whole, copyright infringement thing. And I suppose I understand their concerns, but if it's strictly voluntary, then nobody has any say in it but the people who actively choose to participate.

But honestly? I'm sure it's not the first time someone has sent fanfic (or fan art or drawings or fan poetry, etc.) to people involved with running a show. But like everything with this fandom, it's all serious business and of course completely unique - never happened before in any fandom, ever. *eyeroll*

Actually, I saw pictures of the BSG cast recently looking over a fan-made scrapbook which was made with countless no-doubt copyrighted images. Not a problem there.

I will never understand why the SPN fandom has such a huge STICK UP ITS ASS.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

God, I love that movie. It actually does make me want to dance. There should be fitness classes where you just dance to the soundtrack. I could be down with that. "NEVER EVER HIDE YOUR HEART!" ETC.

And yes, it's true! But don't tell! Shhh!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Heeee! That is brilliant? Does that happen on the show? I HAVE TO SEE THAT!

[browncoatjack.livejournal.com]

I wish! No, I think it came from the behind the scenes vids on the sci-fi site. I've actually never seen it anywhere but that icon...but if I do find it I'll let you know. :)

[mysticxf.livejournal.com]

LOL, well, that fandom sure is good for entertainment at least.

It's crazy that they'd attack so quickly, but it's not surprising that people on the internet judge before knowing all the facts. I hope the person makes the book anyways because if it's all in good fun, I'm sure the people from the show would appreciate it.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hahaha nice. That's just awesome.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I can understand reacting in all manor of different ways. But when you've seen that 300 people have already commented, some respectfully and some not-so respectfully? Why must you add to the fray? It's just the mob mentality of the whole thing that gets me more than anything.

[gigglemonster.livejournal.com]

Yay for haircuts!
Boo for SPN fandom! I cringe everytime I hear the latest nonsense they're up to. I kind of wanna say...spn fandom, please go swallow a knife. So then I'm the only one left and it can be a normal, quiet fandom!

Footloose was SO so good! Definitely goin down as one of my favorites :)

Carrsoooonnnn OMG that is the cutest thing ever! In his little accent! I wanna catch up to wherever you are now just for that!
and maybe for ronon/sheppard glomps ;)

[smercy.livejournal.com]

the footloose is my fault.
KEVIN BACON THANKS YOU.

[ilingeron.livejournal.com]

*flails* I love Carson so freaking much. xD

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Ronon/Sheppard glomps ALONE are worth the price of admission. *sigh* Ronon. Why is everyone on this show so ADORABLE? I CAN'T HANDLE IT!

Go swallow a knife, for sure!

Heeeeeeeeeeee! Footloose.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

It is your fault! No, no, Kevin Bacon thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I know!!! He's awesome! *smishes him to bits*

[smercy.livejournal.com]

I'm watching the mini right now.
with commentary.
it's driving me crazy.
THE HAIR! IT IS SO BAD.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I know! Mostly it's Starbuck's hair that gets me. She looks like a mushroom.

[smercy.livejournal.com]

in her first scene, the back of her head has got a soul patch.

I'M DYING.
please save me?

[crickets.livejournal.com]

This help?

[smercy.livejournal.com]

what help?

[crickets.livejournal.com]

The icon! The icon!

[smercy.livejournal.com]

CKR IS TOO COOL FOR ME, CRAZY KCR.

[neetha.livejournal.com]

Haircuts...sigh. I need one badly, hopefully before I start work.

Gah, I love Footloose. I really need to watch that movie again soon!

[turquoisetumult.livejournal.com]

Getting a haircut can give you the best feeling ever! I just got my hair cut about two weeks ago and it was so refreshing - I felt like a burden was lifted. lol. And, yes, layers ROCK! :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs to watch that movie again. We should declare it international Footloose week!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah it really is nice to get a cut. I wonder why it's so cathartic... hmmm.
