Top Ten Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List (basically an auto-buy list is no questions asked... you love this author so much that no matter what they wrote next you'd buy regardless of genre or subject matter)

( beware cheating to get to 10 ;) )

The 101 fic kinks meme. Come see more about my reading habits then you probably ever wanted too!


1. Time travel. I like all the theories of time travel. I like it when the traveler makes a new timeline (good or bad). I like it when the traveler was predestined to go back/forward and nothing has changed. And I like it when the travel creates a new timeline.

2. Unraveling the new timeline. When someone has traveled in time, come back and things are different. Then just a couple people know that everything is WRONG! and try to set it right. Shenanigans, conflicting personality types and philosophical discussions of whether they should change things even more are a plus.

3. Protecting the new timeline. Things are BETTER, and only a couple of people know about it. They have to keep it going.

4. Meeting your younger self. DO THEY KNOW? What do you say to them? Is there sex (just how narcissistic are you?)

5. Non-linear narratives. Stories that jump back and forth between 'then' and 'now' to show character growth (or regression?)

Comment with whatever you want, like the word "ICONS!" or something and I'll choose six of your icons and then you'll post this with some explanation of the icons I chose.

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

04. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post.
Also, pass it along in your own journal because it's more amusing that way.

First off: HUGH FOR TWELVE!

So I want to write a research paper. Not for class or anything. just for me. How has children's television in the last 20-25 years evolved to help kids become more open to diversity. Example One: Power Rangers. The original line up included 2 Caucasian, one African American, one Asian America, and one of mixed Asian and Caucasian heritage. I know this set up helped me know that I didn't have to be friends with just the other white kids. Example Two: Sesame Street. Monsters of assorted sizes, shapes and colors. And guess what? They constantly talk about accepting one another. Example Three (for the future gen): Doctor Who. Three words. Captain Jack Harkness. He's definitely not straight. And we all love him. Will he help foster acceptance for LGBTs?

Old kid shows would include American Bandstand and Howdy Doody. All white casts.

And yes I realize that there isn't a complete acceptance of racially diverse people or people of different sexual orientation in todays world. There is more than there was decades ago though. These kids shows helped with that.

I really enjoyed my yoga class today. first one ever. I have to say I didn't realize my hamstrings were that tight till we did some of those poses. Some of the people in that class are really rude. They talked/coughed/made noise almost through the whole class. *stab*stab*

Gmail makes me happy. Did you know that gmail will let you talk on AIM

The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and then laughed about it.
