I've been reading the inevitable blog arguments about whether fanfic is evil or not that came up in the aftermath of transformativeworks.org going live, and trying to make myself stop as I get more and more teeth-grindingly annoyed. And then one of the anti-fic commenters who's been trying to justify himself for pages actually comes out and *says* "okay, really, it's just that I think slash is a creepy fetish" and I go ^_^ . It's lovely when people obligingly live down to your expectations, isn't it?

And on that happy note, I'm putting the computer down to do the last bits of my packing. Because road trip to New England starting tomorrow! Cheer me on in my swinging bachelorette lifestyle! (Or just say "get a real job already, you lazy bum." Either one.)

Bet he has no problem with men and lesbians!

Have fun on your road trip!

Argh. The "men and lesbians" thing annoys me because men act like it's all very MYSTERIOUS that they like seeing two women get it on. And yet they are totally horrified by women and slash.

(Granted, I don't really self-identify as a slasher or read porn, but it's not like the women who do are freaks of nature who have, gasp, a sexuality.)

I have met a few men who don't see the point of either. But they usually don't see the point of porn in general, which I'm much more able to sympathize with.

Yeah, well, good luck. Road trip and winter storm: two great tastes that go well together not so much. Be safe and have fun!

Actually, we're hoping to get nearly all the driving done tomorrow, all on the interstate, and the maps and predictions *look* like we managed to pick the one-day window where there's no precipitation anywhere. We'll see! We've got everything from cat litter to self-heating soup, just in case, though.

Only if you want your car. Mom was going to go pick all ya'll up. I think.

That works! I should go call her.
