am not in a happy mood.

If you're on my flist, and you say any of the following, please get off.

1. "I hope Gwen dies in a fire"

2. "female friendships bore me."

Seriously, have you people fucking paid attention to this journal at ALL in the last motherfucking year?

I love #2 (sentiment and female friendships/any-female-relationship-not-all-about-a-man.

Uhm...I am sure I'd agree w/ #1 if I knew who Gwen was.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

...but if Gwen died in a fire, it'd be interesting to see how they'd bring her back: would she end up immortal, like Jack? Dead-and-fading-(but-still-here), like Owen? ...something new?

*ducks and runs*

[morwen_peredhil]

please get off

You forgot the end of that sentence: "...my PLANET."

1. Why all the Gwen hate, fangirls?

2. Why all the self-hatred? (Or do the ones who say shit like that believe they're honorary males, not stupid boring bitches like all other women?)

3. *stabbity*

[kiri-l.livejournal.com]

why want gwen dead in fire? or dead at all? *confused*

btw loved Ianto's Jack comment ! priceless and well acted. =)

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

...with the skin problems and the nasty teeth and the mouth in the hand?

....ew.

[aj.livejournal.com]

O.o

What prompted this then?

[havocthecat]

Year? Try, like, EVER?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I don't. And there's no new wank, so far as I know. I'm just fucking pissed off, and coming home to read that I shouldn't expect equality in the media I watch from someone on my own flist was not particularly helpful.

[hecatesknickers.livejournal.com]

No clue who Gwen is, so can't comment there.

But yeah. #2. I don't understand that at all, if you're, you know, female. It's like saying your own life bores you. I'd rather read/watch well-executed female friendship than romance any day.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*stares at your icon, cackling madly*

Yes. Yes it has. And it will be again tomorrow. And then Monday. And then Tuesday.

And I could get a different job, sure, but 99% of the people in America are stupid as fuck, so it's not going to really change much.

And for the record, I'd be going on about pod people and finding out if you'd been murdered if you did.

Yay!

[beverly-mcintyr.livejournal.com]

I get to stay on your friendslist!

Still say my all-time favorite female friendship pairing is Troi n' Crusher. But I'm weird that way.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

2. Well, you know, all women ever talk about is babies and boys.

My planet. Yes. I would like to be able to order my existence better.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen anything after Meat, so I'm not sure what Ianto comment you're talking about.

Well, Gwen is the worst of all woman-hood and such. Or something like that.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Cassidy. Wins. As do Jadzia and Kira. Obviously, I need to salve the irritation (or continue watching Forensic Files).

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Mostly? I work with very stupid people. But I've also seen both sentiments within the last week, and it's still pissing me off, so.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*chortles*

This is highly true.

MY MARY SUE, LET ME TELL YOU OF HER AND HER FABULOUS CHICK FRIENDS.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

This should be a new meme. Everyone should post their favourite female friendships in every fandom they can think of RIGHT NOW.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I don't get it, either. It's part of the reason why I think we don't get the women on BSG talking much, though. Because the writers don't think people want women talking to each other.

Because women, apparently, can only talk about men/boys/babies/sex. Or something like that.

Re: Yay!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

....dude. That would be like cutting off my nose--

Well, not so much.

Because, damn. Sigh. Hrm.

[nate-dayspring.livejournal.com]

Fair point. *hands over the stupid people she works with too*

[havocthecat]

Dude, that icon of Sam never gets old, you know?

[kiri-l.livejournal.com]

the Ianto comment is in "Reset' I think you'll know it when it happens. =)

oh.. must be Gwen's week with the bashing.. yup.. looky there Rose is egging them on. (I'm figuring it must be some kind of fan-wank)

[kiri-l.livejournal.com]

she needs friends? what kind of mary sue can't get it all done on their own!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Hrm. Off the top of my head...

Nyssa and Tegan.
Troi and Crusher.
Sharon Valerii and Kara Thrace (when they actually get to share a screen).
Jean Grey and Ororo Munroe.
Joanna and Ruth (Barbara Hambly's Windrose Chronicles), even though it's mostly off-screen.
Chiana and Aeryn and Zhaan (mix-n-match).
Kira and Jadzia.

[shadygoddess.livejournal.com]

*raises brow*

You sure you want Irene to hear you call her that?

[hecatesknickers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the BSG thing annoys me. We have so many amazing female characters on the show, and pretty much the only time you see them interacting is when they're fighting.

[nate-dayspring.livejournal.com]

Who's talking about Irene? I was actually talking about Wade, but he'd be the first one to admit his own stupidity. There's no real fun in that...

[timjr.livejournal.com]

Can I instead say "I hope Gwen is naked and in my bedroom"?

[mrushgdi.livejournal.com]

If I knew who Gwen was, I'd offer an opinion.

As for female friendships... when you can find a good one, they are awesome. My current group of friends: I have more in common with the guys. *shrugs* and the tom boy. But the other two: bridezilla and drama queen, and while I adore them, their drama is killing me. I'll stick to the guys and the tomboy, at least we can talk about good action flicks and role playing.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

But womenz are so uninteresting. And they are so poorly written.

I can't even type that without rolling my eyes.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

You're right, Alan Rickman is hot.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

obvsly.

But I had her first. ;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ah would like some fic, pls.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No. No it doesn't. I need to dig out the 'libido-driven' one I did. And maybe some more with the word 'vagina' on it. hrm.

...now I'm trying to remember if Jaka was the cause of the hussy icon...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, since she was me, but gussied-up, the point was that she got to be friends with awesome awesome women, y'know? Sigh.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Well...Keller has worked her way into my little SGA fic project at the moment. She's trying to handle Sam and is getting away with it for some reason. She's just that cool.

That will have to do for now. Until I can get Vala to visit SGA and give the men a stupid virus while the ladies are left to save their sorry asses. Again. Hmmm.... *wanders off*

[otoselkie.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Where ARE there female friendships? Really, there are far too few.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

Dot and Mouse!

I was thinking of Kara and Sharon, too - there isn't enough of it.
Babs Gordon and Dinah Lance.
Ivanova and Talia.

[foenix.livejournal.com]

I'm exempt from #1 since I want EVERYONE to die in a fire, right? =)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

OMG MAYBE.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

You're right. They are very few and far between. Because fandom, and the general populace, doesn't want female interaction, as it's, apparently, boring.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

WHOOT!

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

I'm a bad feminist, because i want the people who say #1 to die in a fire.

WTF is up with the 'fire' thing anyway? How about a little originality? Oh wait, that's not really their thing, is it? Ah well.

[mrushgdi.livejournal.com]

?? Is lost.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*cackles*

Dude, I have no idea...

Maybe they could die in a compost heap? HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Given that your reply angered me, I thought it best not to reply in anger.

Sadly, even with, what, two weeks? Between them, I'm still not sure why you thought telling me men were more awesome because they talk about movies and guns was a good idea.

[mrushgdi.livejournal.com]

Ahhh.. no, that wasnt what I was trying to say at all.

I've had really good female friendships in the past, i just currently dont. At this point in my life I'd much rather talk about role playing and action movies than get bogged down in a wedding that's stealing one of my best friends away. (I really am not fond of his fiance, but she's sure we're best buds).

I'd love to have close female friends again, but there really arent that many girls in Kansas that like BSG, and camping, period dramas and Quentin Tarentino.

If I pay someone, will they hang out with me and let me gush about Trucco's hands?
