I have a dream...

Y'know... I had a dream last night, of which some bits and pieces I still remember.

Part of it was that my mom left the house before I got up from bed. And then I woke up when my mom came barging into my room and saying I have to get up or else be late. Um... gee, I think I've got a handle on my own schedule by now, Mom. *rolleyes* [sarcasm]I wonder what my subconscious could've been trying to tell me.[/sarcasm]

Another part of my dream involved a new production of Disney's "Little Mermaid"... except there were no mermaids and there was a bunch of giant carriage-lifting balloons... o_O ...Okay, that one I have no idea the meaning of.

Movies talk

( Master & Commander )

( Charlie & the Chocolate Factory )

Master and Commander fanfics.

Well, I mentioned this in the last entry. Needless to say, I looked on ffnet. I found out the movie is based on a book...of a trilogy. I wonder if there's going to be sequels? *is chagrined of ignorance of history & literature*

Oh, and going through the fics in ffnet, an overwhelming number seem to have Jack (the captain) refers to Stephen (the doc) as "joy" or "my dear"... and vice-versa too. There's just no way that all of it is made up by the fan-authors. Which means that such endearments must've been in the canon (most likely the book). *facepalm* Talk about slash-fodder.

Desire - Um... A non-explicit PWP? Just a snapshot scene really...

With All My Heart - More of a friendship fic. The slash is somewhat one-sided, "lets be friends" type deal. But at least there's no wallowing afterwards. The spacing is somewhat annoying... it looks like ffnet butchered whatever format the fic was submitted in.

Ship's Rations - Nonexplicit slash... nothing more than a kiss. Quite a bit of talking things out though.

Weather - Really, really short fic which does not waste any words. Rather well written too, with some nice imagery. Oddest thing is that the title/author info is under the fic. So I read the short fic and looked down and went "wait... that's it?!"


I need help. No, scratch that... I need my parents off my back so I can read fics at home. *grumble*

My mom scares me

Things I found out over dinner tonight:

1. She watches "Smallville" (though she doesn't know half the cast's name, nor the name of the show, nor the name of the settings...)

2. She doesn't see the "hoo-yay" (which I guess isn't much of a surprise given her background and English abilities)

3. She thinks it's good acting. (Of course, she also thinks "Bachelor" is a good show too.)


I am shocked. Shell shocked. Gah. @_@
