I have been completely taken over by the Olympics and Generation Kill. No, seriously. My entire schedule revolves around 'Olympics! I must haz them now!' and then they're airing everything I want to see when I'm supposed to be asleep and this would be awesome if I were kept woman (I'm looking at you, Ryan Gosling), but since I have rent to pay, err, not so good. But I can't help myself! Rowing! Swimming! Synchronized diving in Speedo! Gymnastics! Archery! Equestrian! More rowing! I need an icon that says, ODing on the Olympics.

And how do I know the Olympics have eaten my head? Well, I'm currently desperate to rewatch the first five episodes of my current hotass fling, Generation Kill, but to do that I have to stop watching the Olympics for longer than 30 minutes and that just doesn't seem possible. What if I miss some perfectly obscure sport that I would never ever watch otherwise? Water polo, I'm looking at you. Actually, just watching water polo makes me crazy tired. Riflery, I don't even know. When else would I watch weightlifting?

Now, Generation Kill, on the other hand, well, I can take the hint people, I have bought the book (used)*, so you can stop cutting and pasting whole sections to press the case for your favorite pairing. I agree, Rudy & Pappy are the new baby OTP, and yes, there is a strong case for Brad/Ray, but I can't see them doing anything sexual, I think they are the married couple that are together for the companionship.

*Unfortunately it turns out my used copy is an original printing which means no 2007 afterword about where they are now, which will thusly require about 30 minutes at Borders once I am done with this version of the book.

p.p.s Did y'all know that Nate wrote a book? I did not know this. Love Nate. Okay, correction, love Stark Sands as Nate. I know where my real loyalties lie. I understand some people saying Marine RPS? You've totally done it now, but I very clearly understand that my fascination with GK has to do with the actors playing real people and their characterizations there of, not the people themselves. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the real men of the First Recon. So, my stories? ALL FICTION (except for those bits that just happen to be true). It's like when I write George. I do not know George, I do not pretend to know a damn thing about George (except all the links that I'm sent), but my fascination is with the characterization I've made of him. So, the real Nate Fick has had a society wedding and various other things, the Nate Fick in my head will retire one day and get a house on the water in Hermosa Beach so Brad can go racing his motorcycles all the time.

And now, if you'll excuse me I am off to write in my fake world. Or possibly wonder how to get Michael Phelps and his size 17 feet into some fictional universe that I like. Hey man, you've gotta know your line.

Also, is the entire Brazilian volleyball team sleeping together? Inquiring minds think so.

::coughs:: Copying and PASTING? Dude, more like typing out the long way. Copying and pasting would be a step up. But, ya know, good cause and all. The book is great for the little details (especially how to spell military jargonish things, thank GOD).

suaine has demonstrated why I probably need to get Nate's book, too. (After Wright left them Nate took all the guys on a day trip to Babylon! Where he and Brad had dirty, kinky sex against the Ishtar Gate.

Obviously people don't understand the awesomeness of this fandom. And today we get wet, soapy pics of Alex. Good fuckin' day.

Thank you for this. That's it exactly.

::has so much love::

Actually if you stuck him somewhere in OC he could run for office as a Republican and actually win (the boy tends toward the conservative side according to Wright). But, ya know, that's just me running with my politics theory.

I so did. But it really wasn't a hardship; I wanted to keep a list of relevant Colbert quotes for myself anyway.

Not that I'm saying no to your very sweet offer of fic, of course... ;)
