Social Behavoiur 102

It rained all weekend like I’d never left the UK. This was not necessarily a bad thing, only it was a bit wet and I’d wanted to go out.

My only thought on the last Sex & The City is that I want a Smith, like a lot, and after this weekend I’m tapped out for LOTRips (Drowning & The Title is Never as Clever as the End). I’ve no desire to write The O.C. I think that last Lex/Adam (Even Honesty is Financial Speculation) cleaned me out for Smallville, which leaves me with, um, with Harry Potter? Christ. I don’t even know if I can write that anymore…

Also, if it’s true that everybody has a running theme to their writing then I suspect mine is: Is Viagra really better than the Errol Flynn School of Erection Longevity? (Okay, I couldn’t help putting that in there. Don’t ask why, I don’t know why. Because I’m me and quite clearly not all there. Naturally.)

Seriously though – if everyone has a universal theme then I suspect mine is about finding out you’re only human after all. Some people would just say ‘duh’ to that prognosis and insist that all stories are about that on one level or another to which I would say that, yes, they are. But some stories are much more optimistic in their tone that others. Mine, well, it really depends on the day, but generally not so much so. ( Blahblahnavel-gazingcakes...blahblah )

Also,

Comic Book People!

My copy of The Escapist shipped today, so...it’s about bleeding time! Oh, and Joss will be writing a new 12-issue stretch of X-Men under The Astonishing X-Men. And I heart Teen Titans. Really. Like a lot. *crushes on Tim while fretting over upcoming storylines*

[Scene at casa de Hack This]

Scene opens with HT on cell phone, yammering to friend while walking up stairs to flat.

HT puts friend on hold while opening mail box.

HT goes back to yammering while flipping through post.

HT: Bills... bills... Things From Another World...
Friend: Yammeryammeryammer

[HT tries to open door, hold mail and not drop phone. Manages two out of three. Turns on light, tosses bills on floor, opens package from TFAW. Friend still yammering]

HT: Oh my god, holy shit, WTF!
Friend: What? What? Are you okay? Dude, WTF?
HT: My copy of The Escapist came today.

[cue insane fan girl shrieking here]

Friend: Dude, what?
HT: I'll call you back later. [hangs up on friend to wallow in bliss]


FYI: People, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
