Small amusing things and one hot guy

#1: I have a menthol rub sort of substance I use to help with headaches/muscle aches. Sometimes after I rub it on, Finn forgets he doesn't like the taste, licks my hand and makes this soft, disgusted "Phhfft, phhffft" sound, trying to get the menthol off his tongue.

#2: Whenever I see someone using one of my older icons, I want to say "Oh my God, here, let me take that and make it less horrible. I'll give it back to you when it's decent." I just saw one of my really early cropping attempts and didn't know whether to laugh at myself, wince in horror, or rush off to see if I could remake it.

Also, if you like SGA and you're on my flist and have not seen these at

morebliss's place, I show one to you here because akjdlkf:!JOE! (*looks at

dogeared*)

*whimpers quietly but sincerely*

One more thing I shouldn't find funny because it reinforces a stereotype I rail against and because in its more serious forms it discourages people from pursuing their interests in the name of financial success: the fate of the medieval lit. postdoc.

In other news:

sgabigbang ALMOST DONE!!!! One last chapter to write, a couple more things to fix, and then my novelty is pastede on yay.

In annoyed and pissed off news: STOP WITH THE FIREWORKS IT IS AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY STUPID PEOPLE *SMITESMITESMITE*

Mmmm... one can only hope that someday they'll do what the SG-1 writers did as a nod to their Jack/Daniel shippers, and have John and Rodney actually mention something about the attraction between them. I would like that. *nods*

I don't know if it would be responsible for them to do that. I mean, we're talking squee with the power to destroy the world, if that ever happened. But I guess that's preferable to destroying the world with nuclear weapons.

And also, my brain cannot handle even the possibility. I'm trying to picture it and my mind just can't encompass it. It's just too big and wonderful and askfljk!

True, true. I wonder if we can ever even hope to hear Rodney call him John? I sort of hope it will be like in BtVS where the first on screen kiss between Tara and Willow was right after Joyce died in The Body.

It could just be simple, Siege type situation, except with added hugging. Like that thing

rasah wrote. Even that would make my brain asplode.

True, true. I wonder if we can ever even hope to hear Rodney call him John?

Again, the squee would be great. If I ever saw that, I would definitely have to be in a place with no other people around, otherwise I would explode with trying to keep in the incoherent shrieking and carrying on.

Though I have to say, Rodney calling him "Sheppard" is cute in its own way. He's progressed quite nicely from John's rank to his last name (S1: Major; S2: Major/Colonel, with some Sheppard thrown in; S3: Sheppard), so maybe this season we'll get John!

I haven't noticed the name thing, actually, just the fact that Rodney never calls him John, but that's pretty interesting. Although, I have to confess, I like the "Colonel". It's a nice word to say. And for me it's about respect -- I've written something similar about an original character who calls his 2IC "Lieutenant" almost as if it were a pet name, at the same time as it distances him from her a little bit.

But we can hope. I would have to make sure to never read or watch anything about it while my parents were at home, because I am quite certain I wouldn't be able to keep it down. Interesting really that the name-thing has become so big in fandom -- I wonder if the writers are aware of the effect it has?

And he's the only person Rodney does that to! He calls Elizabeth, Carson, Teyla, Ronon, and Radek by their first names, but not John. I've always kind of wondered why, but if anyone's asked Gero, Hewlett, or anyone else, I haven't heard the answer. (Knowing them it would be something like "Does he do that? We hadn't noticed.")

Yeah, I'd have to hole up in my room or else banish my housemate for the night because I honestly don't know if she would understand it if I rushed up to her, throttled her by her shirt, and shouted "OMG OMG HE CALLED HIM JOHN!!! DID YOU HEAR?! JOHN!!!!!"

I wonder if the writers are aware of the effect it has?

They're putting John in a suit jacket and collared shirt (possibly with said collar strategically unbuttoned). I think they're aware *g*

Somebody should tell them. Or maybe not. Knowing them, they'd cackle evilly every time they write the script. "John? Nonono, "Sheppard". Or better yet, "Colonel"." Maybe John's too macho to be called his given name. Like Lorne or Ford. Maybe it's a military thing.

I honestly don't know if she would understand it if I rushed up to her, throttled her by her shirt, and shouted "OMG OMG HE CALLED HIM JOHN!!! DID YOU HEAR?! JOHN!!!!!"

I know my family wouldn't understand. The only way I could get it out of my system would be Livejournal.

As for John's jacket? They're evil. I'm curious of what Rodney and Teyla will be donned in that episode, if John and Ronon get to wear suits. If Rodney also wears something similar, I will expire on the spot, I just know it. Too hotness in the same room.

Maybe John's too macho to be called his given name.

Though Elizabeth, Teyla, and Ronon all call him by his given name :D I think Carson called him by his rank, but I can't remember. Out of everyone who knows him, though, Rodney's the only one who calls John by his last name.

If Rodney also wears something similar, I will expire on the spot, I just know it.

Oh my God, I sprained my ovaries.

That is true. Gah, the labyrinthine trap that man's mind is! Rodney really is a lot more complicated and fascinating than you believe at first glance. Every time you think you've got him figured out, something else pops up and messes with your head -- I imagine that't the reason I love him so much. I wonder if that is John's reason as well.

Oh my God, I sprained my ovaries.

Yes, yes, totally yes! TOO MUCH HOTNESS IN ONE ROOM. Can you imagine Rodney (and John) in a tux? Especially the after-party kind, where the tie is loosened and the first few buttons opened, him looking kind of tired and worn around the eyes, looking somehow softer than what he usually does... oh, wow. I think I just melted my own brain.

He is a very odd person, isn't he? At first I thought maybe calling John by his rank or last name was a sign of respect, but then, 1.) This is Rodney we're talking about, who has the social subtlety of a tornado, and 2.) He also respects Elizabeth, but calls her by her first name. Some people have suggested he calls John by his last name to remind himself of professional distance, but sometimes I think he does it because it's one of the thousand things he does that he can't account for (and would get all flustered about if John ever asked him, or maybe say "At least I know your name, Colonel.") and has no basis in any known human logic. It's all Rodney logic, which is its own brand :D

Can you imagine Rodney (and John) in a tux? Especially the after-party kind, where the tie is loosened and the first few buttons opened, him looking kind of tired and worn around the eyes, looking somehow softer than what he usually does...

I'll be in my bunk. Yes. 'Scuse me. *hustles off*

Very, very odd. Plus the fact that he is a genius -- and isn't a genius somebody who literally knows everything about everything? I can't help thinking that Rodney probably has more talents than even he lets on, like... languages, or music, or... well, you get the drift. I mean, enough IQ points and you can pretty much do anything. And then it's the fact that he's incredibly honest in a way that most people are not. He's a horrible liar, and when people ask things of him, he will give them a straight answer, unless he thinks the question is too stupid to even dignify with one. There's just somethng about McKay, alright. Could be this is why I'm so much more fond of him than I ever was of equally- brilliant-but-more-well-adjusted Sam.

I'll be in my bunk. Yes. 'Scuse me. *hustles off*

Pretty picture, eh? Now, imagine that, and then imagine him bare feet, perhaps without the jacket and the sleeves rolled up. He does have great forearms, you know.

Did you hear that? My ovaries just exploded.

Oooh. Someone did ask Hewlett about it! David was a little 'really, he's never called him John?' And then went on to say something like, 'McKay just thinks of him as Sheppard' or something. Wish I could point you to the post, but I can't remember where I read it!

I'm still incoherant about Joe's hair. I don't think I'll ever get over it.

And then went on to say something like, 'McKay just thinks of him as Sheppard' or something.

But whyyyyy? *puts on whiny EngLit voice* Then again, Rodney probably does just think that way, and if you need an explanation, you probably won't be able to understand it *g*

I don't think I'll ever get over it.

Every time I think I have, I look and go all stupid again. *pathetic*
