Pet Peeves and Other Craptastic Trivia 001 (and GIP!)
I know I did this for a very brief time a few years back before I switched to LJ (the pet peeves, not the craptastic trivia), but never really got past 003 or something. Let's see how far I can go now. ;P Since I'm not actually very irritable these days as far as fandom is concerned (not being in one does that to you), I thought I'd include other random things that don't really count as pet peeves but which I want to flood my flist with anyway. I love my flist that way. :P
Like the fact that I wanted to moo you all.
MOO~~!
(and anyone I've moo'd in MUD or AIM is familiar with this.)
Behold my new icon. Now all I need is one of a sea otter. And a goat.
Now before I completely forget what I wanted to post about other than the cow... I find it remarkably amusing when people refer to Sasuke as the avenger (not in the least because it reminds me of Garfield's Caped Avenger spiel and images of him falling flat on his face after tripping on his own cape), but mostly because, despite the definitive correctness of the word, it just strikes me as a very cheesy term to use outside of macho men parading around in spandex that one still remembers from nabbing comic book copies from my older brother's messy stack of superhero comic books. Now my other brother was more into Xmen, of which I never really got into, not for lack of interest but because my brother believed in washing your hands with alcohol first, laying the comic down in a clean and flat surface and using the top corner to turn pages veerry carefully. (I suspect he would've made us use tweezers if he didn't think we'd do more damage trying to handle the tweezers than we would by risk of smudging the pages with our dirty little hands - which we should've cleaned and sanitized with a generous amount of alcohol to begin with.) All in all, this was enough to discourage me from ever wanting to read X-men. Though it certainly did not stop me from reading Logan/Remy or Remy/Bobby fics a significant number of years later. Strangely enough, I never revisited X-men slash when the movies came out.
Uhm. Where was I? Oh yea, Sasuke + avenger = amused but cringing Arc. It is also enough for me to stop reading an otherwise well written fic if the writer insists on using the term more than once.
So. Moo.
Also, I like this song. I suspect I downloaded it from![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
satsu once a long time ago, but I can't be certain.
