Okay, firstly, for people reading this on LJ, I have 5 dreamwidth codes, if anyone still needs one. I...have been meaning to say that since it opened, and continually forgetting.
Secondly, things what I have been reading today in between napping/watching football: I really like this awesome article on awesome, hot women on broadway. Hollywood, you still kind of suck, but apparently, not everyone does.
And this story of Pakistan students trying to make their country better makes me sort of sniffly. Everything I've read on Pakistan recently has been bleak, on almost every level, but this was just very, very hopeful, even if collecting garbage is this tiny thing in the scheme of things.
This, though, on separate proms for black and white students just makes me sad. It's the quote from the girl at the end, I think; it's the bewildered hurt of it, and I kind of want to shake everyone who's just like, "Oh, it's tradition," as if kids aren't hurt by it, and as if--even if it were only a tradition--preserving it at their expense is okay. And then I have to remember that I'm only hoping that as a white kid in one of those towns, I'd have actively wanted to change things; the reality is, as an 18-yo kid, maybe I wouldn't--maybe I'd have bought that line about it just always having been that way, too. I don't want to be arrogant enough to presume that I wouldn't have, if I'd grown up in those circumstances and not mine.
Thirdly, I have some Dean/Sam schmoop to be working on, but I was thinking I could, I dunno, maybe write some ficlets for fandoms I also like. I am notoriously bad at completing these, but if anyone wanted to take a chance and prompt me in comments, I would appreciate it, and who knows, maybe I would actually finish something. Fandoms I wouldn't be terrified to write in, and pairings where that's a thing--which, really, it mostly is--are HP (Remus/Sirius, most likely), O11 (Danny/Rusty), Sports Night (Danny/Casey), Firefly (Wash/zoe, or Mal/any of the women on Serenity, except, probably, Inara), Dr Who (Doctor/Rose for pairings, though I would totally be up for some Donna gen) FNL (Lila/Tyra--yes, yes, I am surprised by this, too, given how I used to feel about Lila--and Tami/Eric), The West Wing, and Merlin (Merlin/Arthur).
Fourthly, I still really love Sam Winchester. Really really really.
