turpsThe house surveyor came yesterday and now all we do is wait. I really hope he gives the valuation we need so we can re arrange the mortgage, it'll be nice to have some mad money again. James was at an interview which meant I had to deal with the guy, which I hate. I always get intimidated with things like that, especially when he started talking business. It didn't help he came at 8 when I was in the middle of getting Corey ready for school. But at least it's done now.
Yesterday Corey came home with someone else's coat on, the exact same style but much smaller so the cuffs were half way up his arms. What amazed me was neither he or James noticed, what he grew 5 inches while at school. I'm sure guys only see what they want to see.
James was watching a most horrible programme last night where the human anatomy was explained using live models and cutting up a dead body. They were talking about the sexual organs and I'm sorry but even the sight of a shaved naked pretty boy doesn't make up for having to see a penis get skinned and testicles cut up and popped out. Though even that paled against them hacking the groin area out of the body and carrying it across the room in a huge lump of flesh with a skinned penis hanging free. I was like, nooooooo!!! It really put me off reading something slashy I tell you.
In nicer topics. Happy Birthday Nick and Joey! Two wonderful men who deserve all the happiness they can get.
The rant meme has been amusing me these last few days. It's cool to see people rant,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_jules_'s fish rant cracks me up every time I think of it *g* I suppose it's kind of therapeutic, getting these rants out because you're told to. In the spirit of the meme have my mini rant about pairing names and the people who don't use the right ones. Because it's TrickC people, not trickykitten. Why? Because I say so and that makes it right! Told you it was mini. But yeah, I ended up at this site that used trickykitten and one, the kitten thing tends to annoy me anyway. Kitten? Please, that kitten has sharp claws and teeth that could rip you apart, and two, it's trickc, because it just is ;)
The pairing names always fascinate me because they just didn't exist to me until I joined this fandom. There was no ellisand or burgon in The Sentinel, so why popslash? Do we need pairing names because there's so damn many pairings? Why choey and not supertrick, trickyfish instead of fula? JuC instead of Joshtin and man, that hurt to write because to me Joshtin is all about Justy and Josh....shudders. Of course without pairing names newbies couldn't be baffled by Lambs, wtf?! Lambs? Or debate how to spell Basez/Bassez or how to say JuC. Ju rhymed with Dew Cee or rhymed with yuck. They're important things you know ;)
I added some pictures to my LJ today as I've sort of fallen in love with my icon *points up or to the side* It's nothing special but I just love it and if I hadn't done something I would have posted with it on every comment and post. So now the original picture is in my LJ next to my other favourite pic which means I can use more than one icon again.
Lastly before I head off, I've been coding today and also updated my site with the story I wrote for SeSa. Living the Life That You Dreamed which is a JuC AU with a tiny side of chola.

Joshtin is indeed Josh and Justy, precious angels that love with all their widdle hearts, crystalline tears in perfect blue eyes, my love!! But JuC is actual stories that you might want to read. None of that saccharine crap. Actual plotlines. Actual characterizations. Most Joshtin is badfic, I think, and therefore entertaining to a degree. But I've read some decent Joshtin that I can stomach - and I'm supposed to be writing a Joshtin for someone, so I better bone up on my JuJu-angel references!

Date: 2005-01-28 06:43 pm (UTC)I do read JuC, obviously not as often as my Chris pairings but still enough to see that there's a difference between JuC and Joshtin stories. Which is fascinating really, does that mean all the teenie writers clan together in Joshtin groups and churn out loads of sickley crap while the JuC people produce the good stuff?
I hate Josh, Ju and Just too! Except early family stories for JC, Josh is fine then, but only then.

I stay away from the drama that goes on - but drama goes on. Isn't that ridiculous? You don't get drama as a TrickC person, or as a Lambs person - you just get a dearth of stories! JuC people gets lots of stories - but most of them suck, and are Joshtin. It is a hard, hard life I lead, verily.

Date: 2005-01-29 04:33 am (UTC)JuC/Joshtin is definitely one of the most drama-filled pairing subfandoms in sparkly fandom. I read Justin/JC from time to time and write it (I'd like to think it's JuC and not Joshtin, I suppose that could be a matter of interpretation, heh). I also have quite a few friends who hold it as OTP--which means I only get a peek into the madness that is, but yeah, whoa with the madness. Heh.
I wish there was more JC/Lance. Woe :(

Date: 2005-02-12 09:21 pm (UTC)I only look at the JuC people through people on my flist and it really does seem drama filled. I read it and I've written it too, but I much prefer to stay on the Chris side of the fandom ;)
I'm sure you wrote JuC, I doubt anyone that writes Joshtin knows the difference.
JC/Lance, that sure is an under represented pairing.
