Raise your hand if you're glad it's Friday?

I'm now typing one-handed because MAN AM I HAPPY. ...that sounds like a dirty joke.

First! Torchwood fans, we're continuing with the rewatch/discussions at HDJM with 1.03 - Ghost Machine. Come support our newest writer with likes and comments. :)

Second, here is Glee's recap is up for Britney 2.0, and as always it is a FUTURE SPOILER FREE HAPPY PLACE. There are obviously spoilers for the episode, as it's a recap, but nothing future beyond the promo.

...which leads me to this, because I got a few PMs last night.

I do not, not for one moment, believe that the show is doing any sort of fan-service/nod to fanfictions. Um, the things that are being called out as "OMG THAT IS FROM [fic]!!ELEVENTY!" are the most common tropes in romantic comedies, come on. =/ That's why we like them: they're familiar! Also, it's a show about kids who love Broadway and pop. Songs from fics are going to be songs they use on the show, not because of the fic, but because they're good music? I know it's exciting for a newbie to think this way, but let's get real. (I'm flattered that some of y'all thought that, but no. WTS ain't that big, one, and two, those people are too busy and too lawsuit-avoiding because of being busy.)

Also, I do not under any circumstances WANT showrunners reading my flippin' fanfiction, are you kidding me? GAH! DO NOT CROSS THE STREAMS OR GOZER WILL CALL FORTH THE DESTRUCTOR. Aka law suits. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SUED, disclaimer on my user info page aside. Or creep people out because I wrote a story about them/their character having sex. D:

But it's not a problem, because they're not. (Reading fanfic. Esp. not mine, puh-lease. Ryan Murphy is a tad too busy to read things he's not writing himself.)

And let's face it, LOTS of stories feature kitchens catching on fire. It's a meet-cute trope for a reason. :)

OH! If you want to talk about THE PROMO ONLY, no episode spoilers!! Put "Spoiler for Promo" in your subject heading, if you please? That will help people who've not seen 4.2 yet stay spoiler-free. THANK YOU.

Okay, splitting headache and I need lunch. HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND FILLED WITH DELICIOUS THINGS AND WONDERFUL ACTIVITIES! :)

There's definitely a big difference between being excited that something you read or wrote is being mirrored on the screen (which I totally squee about) and thinking that it COMES from the thing you read or wrote because the show writers know about it.

THIS. Plus one! Other shorthands for agreement!

I mean, think of how many things you predicted in Sum/Reflections that happened on the show! That's because you're so in tune with the characters and the intent of the show, imo.

And, you know, there are some things that are universal. Tropes, etc.

It FUN to get excited about the show, though! <3

So Ryan Murphy's not in ur office, readin' ur porn? LOL (let's hope not, you've got some collector's wines that would tempt the concientious!) This happened in SPN too, where hive brain ideas would appear onscreen after being featured in popular fic and fandom would react with "they know!!" (although in the case of SPN, I wouldn't rule it out, LOL.)

We went for a hike in a nature park and now I am about to homemade some Chinese (recipe from a former coworker.) Tell me of your exciting food plans!

OMG, I remember that being a HUGE wank in SPN (...right?) but that they totally fuck around with fans online? Hahahaha. I REALLY don't think that's happening with Glee, but yeah. That's the haps. <-- as the kids say.

The kids from '95, but hey.

I have no exciting food plans! I had delicious Tom Yum soup for my lunch and want to have a cheese plate with crunchy nibbles and wine for my dinner, but have to convince the family to let me have that. (I think they want to all fend for themselves, however, which works for me!)

The kids from '95 are alright, as the kids say. The kids in the 60s, that is.

CHEESE PLATE. I look to the days when I too have offspring who can fend and forage for himself. I just found out tonight that I will be the only female (and one of the few overall) who will not be a grandparent at my 25th HS reunion next summer. So I plan to spend the evening contemplating my mortality (and my four year old) LOL.

Ugh, this album is SO GOOD.
