Grouchiness and sleepiness
Jul. 22nd, 2004 11:13 amThings I have learned this morning:
1. A spoon works better than a knife when making coffee
2. Milk works better than OJ in that coffee
3. When I need a second cup of coffee in a morning and I muck it up totally, that might be a signal that I need another nap
4. 75% of Stargate fans are insane
5. Most of the insane ones are on the AG list, but a few of them have spread onto other lists
6. If I see one more Orrymain post...
Actually, 6 may not be a lesson - more of a threat. Now that voting in the Fanfic Awards is over I'm feeling a little less inclined to be nice about the beagle-writing idiot. Even her non-fic posts are like nails scraping on a blackboard. Argh! I feel sorry for the poor newbie she directed toward her fic at the weekend. Mind you, said poor newbie was looking for fics 'where Jack and Daniel are married and working on the Stargate'. Paraphrasing slightly, but not as much as you'd think. I have no problem with people liking a certain kind of fic (even if it is so far detached from reality that I want to spork my eyes out), but I wish they wouldn't deluge lists with their views on fluffy-wuffy Daniel and Jackikins.
Yeah, I may be grouchy this morning. Just a tiny bit. And I've had my coffee and everything.

Date: 2004-07-26 11:17 am (UTC)Well, I don't know about Xim, but I think it's because I'm an odd person who has to get really, really, PO'd to unsub from a list. I'm unnaturally calm and tolerant. Either that or the insanity has already hit *g*
And Orry is there.
*g* It's been months since Orry posted to the AG - something I am supremely relieved about.
So...just what the hell are you two still doing there?
In part, for me, it's because there are a different variety of opinions over on AG. I love FDAS and look to you guys for intelligent, rational discussions, but it's sometimes interesting to get another look at issues. Crazy, I know, but that's the main reason.
If you want intelligent convos, start some up on the FDAS. Goddess knows we need them.
I'm never sure whether I can post a question/convo starter that has been inspired by or just plain lifted from the AG. I don't want to offend anyone on either list by doing it. I also remember the problems when the same question was posted to both lists - I don't want a flame war to accidentally spill over to FDAS again. Saying that, maybe I could save up some of those questions in a file and pose them to the list a few weeks later so that cross-posting won't happen. Hmmm.
Still waiting to hear from you about any preferences to eps of hers. :-)
I can understand 90+ heat sapping the will to live, never mind the creative flow :-) Hope it's cooling downa little. As for episodes...hmm...I'm a fairly indiscriminate Janet fan, but I am fond of some of the season 2, season 3 or season 5 look. Anything with her smiling is guaranteed to make me a happy girl :-)

Date: 2004-07-27 12:35 am (UTC)Well...first of all, there wasn't any spill over. All there was was this flame from this stupid vapid cow who couldn't even identify who she was mad at and took it out on the FDAS list. *She* was the one with all the rude behavior, loose marbles, and general schizoid attitude, as well as the only one who named names.
Second of all, if you see something on another list that you'd like to bring up at the FDAS, then by all means do so. We do it. Just say that you "saw the topic on another list and would like to discuss it; are there any opinions to..."
and state whatever it is. Trust me, sweetie. I know you love keeping the peace (I swear, you're a Libra) and general well-being (and not bringing over any of the flaming bitches from that other list), but it's not on your head that any bad-tempered posts will go, but on the posters. If things ever get out of hand, believe me, they can be banned from the list, and I won't wait for Mand to do it, either. In so saying, I don't expect anyone belonging to *both* lists to be rude and offensive. Those who like the AG in a cliquish fashion never post on the FDAS. Those who are just fond of chatting to folks or reading various, strange opinions *g* (like you, sweetie), won't be objecting to starting up a discussion that's been seen elsewhere.
So don't wait three weeks. Post. You've my permission as one of the flaky listmods. And I promise to behave myself. ;-)

Cool. :-) Now, I've a few seriously lovely images from Season 6, too. A damn good pic, for instance, from Frozen, with her face in silhouette, is to die for. ;-) Which means I have to make more than one wp, doesn't it? Well, anyway...smiling ones, it is.

Date: 2004-07-27 09:22 am (UTC)It was more that having to threads with identical names on two lists that share members makes it almost inevitable that at some stage things may spill over. The idiot who flamed us was just being a stupid cow and I can't work out how she got confused, but I'd hate for that to happen again.
I know you love keeping the peace (I swear, you're a Libra) and general well-being (and not bringing over any of the flaming bitches from that other list), but it's not on your head that any bad-tempered posts will go, but on the posters.
Some day I've got to learn not to try to take responsibility for everything. Thanks, hon, for reminding me.

Thank you :-) I promise that I will post the next time I'm inspired to ask something from the FDAS list - it has been rather quiet lately, huh?
Which means I have to make more than one wp, doesn't it?
*g* Not gonna complain if you do :-) The Frozen image sounds lovely - hell, anything you come up with will be great because you're fab at this stuff.

Date: 2004-07-28 12:43 am (UTC)So...I decided to post some old questions for fairly new people. Maybe we can get some folks chatting, and preferably 'not' the airheads.*gg*
hell, anything you come up with will be great because you're fab at this stuff.
Flattery will get you anything. :-p

Date: 2004-07-28 04:42 pm (UTC)I saw the questions - very good *G* I'll be adding mine over the next couple of days and attempt to come up with interesting ones the next time conversation gets a little quiet.
Flattery will get you anything. :-p
*GGG*
