I have now reached page 500 of The Book of Doom and now I realize that there is a system behind the sentences. There are OMG! chapters! And subchapters! It all makes sense now!

The Book of Doom is the standard work for the kind of exam I'm taking (Thursday. OMG please tell me it's not Thursday already and I have MISSED my exams! I have nightmares about missing my exams by sheer stupidity). If you know german, please read the customer reviews, cuase you know how amazon customer reviews are never wrong. People say things like "Since I've stopped reading this book, my grades have improved muchly." and "illogical, complex, incomplete" and until today I would have agreed, but now it all makes sense! Chapters! I have found chapters!

Also, after 500 pages I have finally grown to love the unequaled writing style of the authors, who constantly refer to themselves as "we". I swear I have never read a study book before where teh authro refers to himself at all, but they do, in every chapter (!!!). I have not yet found out if this is kind of like the Royal We that Majesties use to refer to themselves or if it's just some sneaky way of excluding liability for the content. In case everything they write is wrong they can claim that it was just their personal opinion, not some truth. Laywers. Pfff.

Anyway, it reminsd me of reading lj because it is so rare these days that I get to read from a first person POV anywhere else, and the books reads a bit like LJ too. Half the time, you don't know what people are talking about and aren't entirely sure if you really want to enter yet another new fandom (but you will, eventually) and paragraphs are thrown together like the posts on your flist, without any logical connection. But no more! For I have discovered the system behind the nook, and now I know that one day I will open my flist and it will ALL make sense. It's all part of a greater SOMETHING that just waits to be discovered, oh yes!

And shall discover it!
Right after I've read the final 100 pages in The Book of Doom. And left an amazon review. Heehee. It's the small things that brighten my day.

P.S.: Jayne is totally the kind of guy who'd leave on his socks in bed.

Have reached episode 5. Boy, people sure get hurt a lot, don't they?

Okay, you people were right, this is rather addictive. It's ridiculously easy to like these people. Except for Mal, who works very hard on being unlikeable, which of course, makes him even more likeable.

I don't see where they are going with their relationships yet. Mal seems to be doomed to never have sex ever: he is too focused on being the Captain to have any kind of UST that I could see.
I guess he's supposed to have UST with Inara, but at the moment all I get from them is a brother/sister kind of thing.

Inara on the other hand had has UST all by herself. I thought I was going to hate her at first, but she is very sexy, and not at all what I expected her to be.

Kaylee likes Simon, but that's only because she likes pretty things, like that awful pink dress. Okay, so she doesn't have good taste in dresses, but her taste in men is fine.

It's a shame that Simon is doing the nasty with Jayne, they would have been cute together (in a disgustingly sweet way, of course, so let's forget about that)

I was deeply scared of River in the beginning, thinking that she'd be the perfect match for Stark, but she, too, is oddly likeable. She makes people want to protectt her, give her everything she could want. I'll definitely have to watch out for River fic, but not before I've seen all the eps.
Don't want to be spoiled.

I'm watching Firefly for the first time.
So far, no immediate addiction like it was the case with Farscape. I know, everyone told me I was going to love it, and I trust you. but so far, I'm only mildly interested. I like Kaylee and Zoe, and I will probably fall for Mal sooner or later, but so far, I'm not convinced. I've seen better Alphas.
But what am I complaining, I don't even know if he is supposed to be Alpha yet. I just assume, because of Stargate and NCIS.
This show probably has a totally different concept when it comes to characterization, after all, it was made by Joss Whedon.

But people are prettyl, and there are horses and guns, so I'll keep watching. Besides, I bought the DVDs, I sure won't leave them standing around.

Oh, and agentotter?
You never mentioned that they shoot a horse on Firefly.

Nope, decidedly not thrilled yet.

...in which oceana_ reveals what sort of fannish slut she really is.

Why, yes, there is more.

By now, the few of you who have read all of this will have wondered where I do spend my time, since all I said was "not anymore", not at them moment" and "not yet".
And yes, you guessed it, HIGHLANDER ate my brain.

Want to know what I did the last few days when I didn't read my flist and didn't post?
I watched Highlander. I read Highlander slash. I watched more Highlander. I read more slash.
Mainly, this is what my life looks like since, I don't know when I discovered it, but pretty much since then. No, it actuall took me a while to fall for Duncan, but I fell for Mehos immediately, and now I'm lost.
It feels like Stargate is my husband, and Highlander is the man of my life whom I've met just a week to late to actually give up my marriage for him. I will never get a divorce, but I doubt I'll ever find the strength or the will to end my passionate affair with Highlander.
Good thing that this is fandom and not real life, so bigamy isn't that much of a problem.





( You thought this was all? )

Okay, now I'm done.
I can't believe that I have a real life beside all this. But it does explain why my days always feel so short, and why I never sleep more than four or five hours.
