It occures to me that when we were defending slash on the R/S site, we were too... willing at accept certain standards which were being set by those who were rallying against it. It probably came from the fact that we had to be more creative than "you homophobic bastard", but I remember writing stuff like "it's love, and it's good, and why should it be wrong if two people are in love", and then I just felt all... wrong, because that wasn't the only reason. Yes, love is a wonderful thing, and no one should be denied the right to it, there's no question about that. But, FUCK, what is so wrong with two men or two women just shagging? Why it is only love that can justify it? Obviously, on the R/S thread, we talked about love because it was Remus and Sirius, and those two are obviously in SOME sort of love, even if it isn't physical (*twitches*), but still. Why do we have to defend slash - and, more importantly, homosexuality - purely through those means? If someone can't accept the fact that two men can fuck sporadically without being in love just like a man and a woman can, then that's their problem, and I shouldn't have to justify it.

< /another rant >

Yesterday, I was on the bus, and there were these two girls there, nine or ten years old, couldn't be any older. Suddenly, one of them whips out a flowered cell phone and makes a phone call. I look at her and get a twitch in my right eye. Ten years old. Cell phone. The bus is moving along, I'm looking out the window. The two girls take out something they had just bought.

"It's tanglad, dammit..."

"Wait, let me see it..."

"Let go, it's getting more tangled, hold on!"

"Shit!"

"Let go, dickhead!"

*sigh* Just had to share. Am I being an old fogie (err) or was that just really wrong? They're TEN YEARS OLD. Hell, when I was ten, my best friend and I wanted to start a group against swearing. (Yes, I wanted to do that. Yes, I was TEN.)

Anyway...

An announcement of sorts:

The project that stereo_m and I have been working on is almost done, but it's being thwarted by technology. Those of you that know what this is and are waiting for it - we sincerely apologise. If everything goes really well (which it won't, because it's us, and mine and Moa's luck combined means that chances are really against us), it should be up tomorrow night. Hopefully. *winces* This really sucks, and we are very sorry. It's almost done, like, everything that needs to be there is there, but it can't be loaded. *kills Voldeo's silly computer*

So, yes, we simply feel really bad and thought we'd let you know. But it's almost there! Almost!

And with that in mind...

if being in love was required to shag, then I'd still be a virgin *shudders*.

Bwahahahahahahahahhhaaaa... Oh, Ni, darling, you're funny. Glad you agree - and yes, of course there are those who are simply not too happy with the sex in general, gay or het.

[thank you for the chat last night *hugs*]

Anytime. *hugs*
