You know what would make life better while commuting home (my schedule has been blown by bathroom ceiling drama)?

Fewer drunk people puking, fewer women screaming at their menfolk regarding pussy licking skills.

Sadly, this seems to be too much to ask.

things I really, really did not need to know about

I think it was the scrumptious girl in uniform in slide 11 that did me in or possibly this:

Some of the re-enactors eschewed weapons altogether. Over at the press hut, a crew of “war correspondents” had set up a period darkroom, developing black-and-white photos shot with an array of old-school cameras, aiming for prints that looked like they’d fallen out of a 1944 time capsule.

And the dance. Of course.

Ahhhhh.

You know what's good? That I don't drive. Because if I drove? I'd _always_ be running around to things like this.

(also, it's a really nice article in that it both _gets_ why people do this stuff and the rather legitimate and murky issues that can and do surround it).

words count

This is why both LJ Idol drama _and_ fandom makes me so aggravated.

We're so invested in words, and yet feel perfectly free to act as if those words have no consequences. Well, they fucking do, people.

(the initial comment in the thread which is what I was linking to has been screened. discussion of what happened and what it means continues on page two of the larger thread and is still developing/worth reading).
