This is going to be completely random, I can already tell.

First, I'm in the process of tagging this fucker.  God, why do I have to ramble on about so many things in each entry?  I just keep having to make new tags...and I haven't even used half of them yet.  I just know the stuff is there, waiting.  So, I'm going to be working on tagging for...awhile.  It's not fun and I should've done it from the start, I know.

Second, what the hell is the point of a drabble?  I mean, 100 words to capture any sort of story, not going to happen.  I admit, I have run across a few that are just capturing one moment and they've been nice. Still, 100 words?  I'm a short story fan myself but dear god.  As a writing exercise, I do indeed understand the point.  Honestly I do.  As the reader though, I always find myself wanting more.  100 words is just never enough.  200, yeah that still isn't cutting it.  Ficlets, while adorable in name, are still short as hell.  I'm still generally left wanting.  So I guess, this is my feeling:  as writing exercises, they are brilliant.  Really brilliant.  Requires pin point focus.  Makes you give all your attention to one moment, one instance, one feeling.  As a developing tool, it works nicely.  For a reader, I just get annoyed.  More writing I say!  I want to read more.  I've actually become quite the fan of the lengthy fic of late...

Third, Palex is on my radar again.  I swear, I'm not watching Degrassi.  I'm just not.  I don't care if Alex has finally declared her love for Paige.  I don't care that the angst is lovely.  I don't care that Paige almost told Alex that she loved her too.  I swear. So I watched Free Fallin' parts 1 and 2.  So I went looking for...whatever the hell the name of 6x16 is.  Yeah I watched the declaration clip a couple of times.  I don't care.  So maybe I kinda sorta like.  Maybe I think they could possibly be cute.  Maybe I thought that last season too.  So what?  I know, I know.  I get sucked into like every single les storyline that exists.  I would never go on and on about them like BAM or Spashley, or even Sam/Brooke or Fuffy.  I just think...they have potential.  And there certainly is plenty of room for angst there.  Being less connected to the characters makes the angst a bit more enjoyable.  So there's that.

Fourth, I rediscovered my love of Kaylee/Inara.  I can't believe I forgot about them.  I know tons of peeps ship Kaylee/River, not my cup of tea.  Kaylee and Inara always had this easy comfort.  Do I honestly think there's any subtext there?  Well, I haven't watched Firefly in ages and I didn't finish Serenity but I know they didn't talk much at all.  So, I don't really feel like I can address the subtext issue.  I need to rewatch Firefly.  Then, maybe.  Doesn't matter much to me.  I've always liked the idea of Kaylee/Inara.  I can't remember what exactly got me to browsing fanfic this morning but I ended up reading some nice bits that reminded me just how much potential they could have.

Fifth, I really need new avatars.  I need a Firefly av...well, at least a Kaylee av.  A Kaylee/Inara av would be lovely.  I also need a soccer av.  I've got plenty of girls...I just need to choose a pic and make an av.  I just keep talking about new things and don't have the avs for them.  But they are things I'll be talking about...so I should have an av for them.

Closing...without any sort of introspection or any real ship discussion.  Yeah, I know I talked about Palex and Kaylee/Inara, but there was no depth.  It so doesn't count...
