Okay, you didn't actually want to take this quiz.
You were probably really bored and, you know,
everyone else was so you thought you'd just
have a go. Have you tried the TV? Something
good might be on. I hear interesting things
about MacGyver.

I will now attempt to write a coherent, interesting post before dinner (when, it has to be said, I'm not at my best).

Friends
And going out. Reading other people's journals and listening to tales of other people's lifes I want the one back I had at uni. I mean, the one where I went out. But I can't have it. Not just because my friends live all over the place (although that means I can still go out at weekends) but also because I get ill and have to wash all my clothes. Once they ban smoking in public places (and I have no doubt that they will) then I'll be there! It'll be great. What would be cool for now though would be to live with someone cool (ie that I have lots in common with).

I've almost gone back to wanting what I wanted when I was at school - the whole idea of one best friend. It doesn't help that you get it all the time in books, films and on TV. I have to remember that's not actually what I want, and there's nothing wrong with having friends who have different interests in common. If that makes sense. I must get myself over to the Genesis sci-fi group in Basingstoke actually. Assuming I can work out how to get there (and they so have a tendency to meet on a Sunday) and I do know at least one person there, so I can't use that as an excuse. We need to have more Rotaract socials as well.

Wimbledon
I'm living west of Wimbledon. And weather goes from west to east. So how come it hasn't rained here since a few spots at 9am, and yet they started late and are on another rain break? Admittedly, it is getting a bit dark but all the rain clouds must be collecting between here and there and then raining on Wimbledon. And if, as someone estimated, it costs $50,000 a year on the ATP tour, then how can they ever stop tennis from being thought of as elitist, since only the rich can possibly afford that? The Williams sisters story not withstanding, but I don't think that's likely to be repeated any time soon. Although I suspect plenty of people are trying, and have tried in the past.

Slash
I'm really inconsistent. I can't put my finger on which slash pairings I'll read and which squick me. For example:
I think of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as having a student/teacher relationship, bordering on father/son. How far across that border is up for debate. I will quite happily read slash for these two though, even by my definition it is incest, or at the very least an abuse of power.
Elrond and Aragorn are father and son, despite being technically uncle and nephew about sixty times removed. I can't even bring myself to try slash for them. Nor Elrond/Elladan or Elrond/Elrohir, although that really is incest. I can read Elladan/Elrohir though and Aragorn/Arwen, if I think about it too much, strikes me as incest.
I came across some Sam/Al (Quantum Leap) the other day, which just struck me as wrong. They're friends, why read more into it than that?
I actually managed to watch some Smallville last weekend (must watch it in future, it is really rather good) and there's more chemistry between Clark and Lex than there is between Clark and Lana or Clark and Chloe.

Blogger
Why is it that now blogger has changed everything to make it all easier, I can read significantly less of this post as I write it than I could on the old version?

I see they are warming up again on Wimbledon, so I'm hoping the Venus Williams/Kim Clijsters match will be interesting because I could do with actually watching one of those today.
